I'm going to test drive a used 2014 i3 with 28,000 miles tomorrow that was first driven in December 2014, COP until 12-2019. BEV. It's a Tera world, Technology and driving assist, 20" wheels, parking assistance, heated seats, fast charging and Harmon/Kardon pkg. $18,264. What should I know/look for?
I drive 4500 miles a year. If I buy it, I'll finance for 5 years probably, so I'll put another 22,500 miles on it in that time. 25,000 max.
I'm thinking of charging it from my 110 volt house outlet. How many feet long is the charging line? If it isn't long enough, can I use a heavy duty extension cord? I drive about 15 miles a day so maybe charge twice a week?
I assume there is no way to see if the battery is good? Would love to know how much charge it is holding - does that show anywhere?
I know to look at the tires but unless really bald, I won't know squat as I'm a woman who doesn't know much about tires. Can I ask for new tires?
How about brakes? 28,000 miles - should they be ok?
The tech pkg - does it really stop you from hitting pedestrians? That would be such a lovely thing as I drive entirely in a very congested city filled with pedestrians. Mind you I've never come close to hitting one but I'd love to be confident that I won't.
Thank you for your help.
