Is $36000 a good OTD deal for 2025 Kia Niro EV Wind?
Hi,
I’m in California.
Is $36000 a good OTD deal for 2025 Kia Niro EV Wind? I had taken a lease and I still have a year to go but I am thinking of buying it out.
Is this a good deal? If I remember correctly, I had also got the $7500 EV credit as part of the lease but I am not sure, is there any way to check?
The $36000 is the initial downpayment + taxes + fees + 12 monthly payments (up to today) + advertised buyout quote on Kia Finance page. Am I missing some hidden fees?
Side note - I hate the fact that the car does not auto lock on walk away.
Thank you community!
Addendum - Now I am very confused, if a second hand Kia Niro EV is available for ~24k for a 20k miles 2 year used car, why offer me such a high buyout? Isn’t it obvious I would just return the lease and then buy another car? Even if the dealer wants to loot me, isn’t it really stupid for anyone to accept the buyout deal? Would they negotiate 20% lower on the buyout deal?
