The cheapest, but not the best value IMHO would be this one:
Agreed. I didn't want to come over interrogatively, but the last thing I want to see is a boardsie getting burnt bringing a car in when they don't 100% know what they are doing!
Regarding NI cars, let's advise everyone to check the documentation, contact relevant authorities where needed in order to establish a fact prior to purchase rather than the alternative shown in this forum which is becoming rather interrogative towards those citing NI cars. I fear the latter would push people away from exploring the potential of saving an easy couple of thousand if the stars were to align.
You only posted a picture, not a link. So it wasn't clear where the car was, it just looked like a UK car on UK plates. Yes what you say is correct, but you will have to prove it was registered in NI before Brexit. Can you do that with 100% certainty?
The cheapest one in Ireland seems to be this one:
Roughly the same price as the MG4 brand new, but of course this car is 3 years old now.
It is NI car so nothing of it applies if I interpret revenue information correct.
Did you take into account import duty, VAT, etc?
I was comparing to this one:
Not quite a fair comparison though, is it? The MG4 costs brand new what a second hand Ioniq that's a few years old costs. Also Korean cars are the best built cars in the world, nothing beats it, not even German or Japanese cars.
Loked at MG4 yesterday, decided to search for a clean Ioniq. Did not like a build quality of MG.
Hi, I bought a 201 a year ago. I looked at new at the time which were about β¬36k, but got a good deal on the used one and it got the battery replacement done under warranty.
Car is great, I have only had to use public chargers once in the year. I travel about 500km per week so big saving on diesel with energia ev rate.
I notice there are a lot of uk spec ones on the market now which donβt have the leather seats, not sure is any other spec missing compared to Irish spec.
I wouldn't really like to guess, the car is almost new. But I would be looking at a years depreciation on 30K.
@unkel would probably say more..π
Out of curiousity what do you think the price should be for that white one?
That white one looks very fresh, they are a good car imo. But the price is cloud cuckoo landπ
You can also get a second hand Kona 64kWh (very long range) from about β¬25k (these are poor spec though) or the bigger and better sister the eNiro, should be got for not much over β¬30k soon. And I expect some of the earlier Tesla Model 3 to be had for not that much over the β¬30k mark before the end of next quarter.
And Mooney's are for the birds with their second hand pricing. And don't expect to be able to negotiate much with them either. They're old skool. Sitting on their hands until a fool comes along who is easily separated from his money π
In fairness the Ioinq 38 is loaded with extras
I will take a look cheers, it will come down to what my wife prefers once we test drive but at the minute I am leaning toward Ionic (having not test drove). I looked at the MG ZS but hadn't considered the M4
Looking at 2021 or 2022 but I wasn't aware you could get new for 30k a couple of years ago

I'd just note that you can buy a brand new MG4 for 30 k euros.
Might be worth a look.
We love ours anyway, great car and lovely to drive. Super efficient car which is becoming ever more important with the sky high electricity prices. You'll be reading on here about the rapid charging speed being disappointing but your use case looks similar to ours with 99.9% charging done at home overnight so it's a non-issue (and it's still a non-issue even if you do need to rapid charge the odd time, what's 10 mins extra spent at a charger if you're not a regular at the fast chargers). What year are you thinking of buying? They're all still well under warranty anyway.
Just be careful on second hand pricing, the 38kWh could be bought new a few years ago for not much over β¬30K. Prices should settle a bit in the used market with the big drop in new prices announced by Tesla last week.
I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these in the next week or so. This will be my first EV and will mainly be use for drive kids to football matches and traning etc so mostly short journeys. I will be getting a charger installed at home so shouldnt be any issues with charging. We have a seperate 161 diesel Insgnia that we can use if needed so range anxiety isn't an issue. Is there anything else I should consider before I buy one, we have 3 kids under 10 youngest is 2.
From what I can see the Ionic seems to offer the best value for money on a 30k budget at the minute.
We've a 211 Ioniq, and after about a year and a half of waiting, and a few follow ups, we got our new battery last month.
Had to ask for some documentation as proof it was done. Took the garage about half a day to do the work.
Of course I can't see the battery so have to take their word it was changed!
New battery. See here for details
Try to get proof battery was replaced
That's in GB, so you would be assessed 23% VAT, 10% Duty and then 7% VRT (which is 0 if the OMSP is below 40k).
The exemptions are only for NI
i have heard chat about not paying import/vrt/vat on pre-brexit EV's. Say for the likes of this one below, anyone know what the craic would be?

New, part of a global recall, this car and 2019 era Kona
I was booking Iβm for a service next week and while taking the booking the service advisor mentioned that they are waiting on a new battery for my car. Does anyone know if these are βnewβ replacement units or re-manufactured ones ?
This is a very interesting point re the manufacturer failing to register certain VINs. May have to inquire with the dealer directly. I know Hyundai just started meeting again with its dealers for the first time in 3 years, so it may be easier getting answers. I am currently waiting to hear back from my dealer about the possibility to install a bike carrier and about the availability of Charge My Hyundai app in Ireland β he was supposed to raise these issues at their recent meeting in Dublin.
Yes, my Ioniq is a 2022 model, although it did come pre-installed with old software (not sure why, you would think they ship their cars with the latest software...), but I was able to connect to BlueLink even then.
Best of luck with the update!
That is good news regarding bluelink. When i previously looked at this, it appeared that hyundai had possibly not registered certain VIN numbers from specific models sold in specific markets on the back end server. This was based on me trying to register the VIN with the app and reading various forums.
I'm wondering if when the bluelink is enabled on the vehicle, if it automatically registers the vehicle/vin on the back-end, allowing the user to then register the VIN with the app.
I must have a look at the NAV update procedure you have listed above. Is your ioniq a 2022 model?
Mine is in for a software update tomorrow, but i believe it is just the firmware in the BMS that is getting updated.
Ah, congratulations then! Glad to hear you are enjoying the car and that it works for you, distance-wise!
If your 2020 car is the facelift model, then you should be able to use BlueLink.
Hmm, strange. It is definitely not the car software, as mine came pre-installed with 2020 software and I managed to connect to BlueLink then. It was unreliable, however, which is why I updated the software. And yes, I updated it myself. It is fairly straightforward, but very time-consuming. Get a 60gb flash drive ready and follow instructions on https://update.hyundai.com/EU/E1/Main. You need to download the Navigation Updater to your PC (contrary to what it may seem going by the name alone, it updates the firmware as well as navigation) and then download the update, copy it to your flash drive, stick it in the car and follow instructions to install it.
As to BlueLink itself, I recall it was a rather involved set up, requiring registering for a Hyundai account, the car's chassis number and some other stuff. Have a look at Brian Doolan's tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_G5eha_c-g. Hopefully, you'll manage to set it up, as it really is convenient. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
EDIT: I will actually be updating the software again soon, as apparently a new update is already released in USA and Canada, which enables Android Auto on full screen, rather than the 70%-30% split. Should hit Europe soon enough.
