I randomly found a 2020 Arteon SEL Front Wheel Drive with 43K miles on it for $21,000 at a well established/rated luxury car dealership. They have had the car for about a month and in that short time they have dropped it from 23k to 21k. Price is less than Kelly and shows one owner, no wrecks and looks like basic maintenance has been performed at normal intervals. Took it for a ten minute spin and noticed no issues. Side note, it does show owner was commercial use. According to the sales guy, the previous owner came in and traded it in towards a new car. I feel like I could probably wiggle them down to $19,500 to $20,000 with a little talking, but if I can't is this still a deal at $21k? I own two paid off 2016 Kia Optimas that have both had engines replaced by Kia so they both technically have decently low mileage for the year on the engines. I'm giving one of them to my daughter who is just starting college.
My wife works from home so this would basically be hers as a drop kid off at school, coffee, workout, grocery getting car. She still averages about 15k miles a year though. Any crazy side things or maintenance issues with these? I keep cars for the full extent of loan (5 years) than I usually keep them as long as they don't start causing me major troubles. I'm an average DIY'er. I can do the usual brakes, rotors, oil change, plugs, basic sensors if I can reach, but I'm not a deep digger and what scares me is with the rarity of these in the states I don't see youtube walking me through how to change a (insert name here) on these on the fly. So, what do you think? Should I walk or pull the trigger?
Thanks in advance.
