I've recently bought a Feb 2023 registered (72 plate) Ioniq 5 from a well known Hyundai dealer in my region.

The car was advertised as a 168kw/77kwh version which is one we wanted and we wouldn't not have bought the smaller battery version.

Prior to buying I asked the dealer for a SOH certificate. This came back at 100%. On the certificate it listed the cars VIN which matched and a reference to 160kw beside it. I asked the dealer to confirm this was not a 160kw version on two separate occasions. He just checked the VIN matched and then said it was. Based on this we bought the car.

We picked the car up three weeks ago but I have a niggle that I cannot shift. Is there a way to confirm what battery I have in the car. I've checked the new logbook and it does not reference the max power output of the car.

I've had a look in the settings but cannot see anyone that confirms it.

Any help or advice appreciated!

I've just advertised a car for sale recently and have a few people interested in coming to view the car. I'm aware there will be a lot of tyre kickers and time wasters etc but I'm prepared to absorb some of this pain.

in terms of practicalities I've asked potential buyers to bring their driving license and confirm to me that they have insurance in place etc.

If they wish to purchase, before I hand over the green slip and keys, I will notify the DVLA online. My main with is with how would you approach the payment method?

it is only a little over £1k and my initial preference is bank transfer so I can see when the money hits my account etc. it isn't a lot of cash but I don't really want to have over £1k in cash that I then need to lodge and trust that it is all legit.

I've been advised to provide a signed receipt from the buyer and myself indicating that the car has been sold and at the agreed price.

Is there anything else that I should do? Would you be put off if you were asked for ID etc or is this unnecessary?

Appreciate all advice in advance!
