I'm buying a second-hand car, looking at a relatively recent but not brand new electric model. There is a 2020 Kia e-Niro for sale at a good price (by today's standards), much cheaper than other equivalent models.
The dealership has advised that the reason that the price is so low is because the previous owner didn't get it serviced in line with the warranty requirements, so there is no manufacturer's warranty (normally 7 years for Kia). Instead it would come with a 12-month warranty.
I am planning to get a full inspection done before deciding whether to buy the car.
I've looked at the cost of a third-party warranty after the first year, and the cost over four years would be less than the price of another similar Kia within warranty, but I know that third-party warranties are usually not as good as manufacturer warranties.
Any views on whether or not this is a sensible thing to do?
