VW ID.3

Are there less software issues and glitches with the 3.2 software? Considering a 1st edition id3

Similar type story here. Traded my ID3 Style (211) back in February for close to 33k. My new Born cost me 44k with 3k of extras. Did well on the trade in but paid up fully for the Born. My old ID3 is up for sale for a good while now and has dropped pricing a couple of times and is currently at 30k approx. Using "normal" depreciation of say 40% over 3 years the car should be valued at say 22k with the dealer asking maybe 25k...................so price has to drop quite a bit yet. Average pricing of 3 Yr old ID3s' is still too high by some margin. As to my Born I expect it will depreciate fully at normal levels. Depreciation may though be even higher given the entry of numerous high quality cheap Chinese EVs but not overly worried as I can keep the Born for longer- really like the car.

Absolutely- minimum outlay all the way. As long as you have a deposit to go again. Cars are money and depreciating assets at the end of the day, an expensive hyper focus 🙈

Seeing 2020 id3s for 22k now, does that mean its too expensive?

Thanks. Im debating now or wait a few weeks into mid january

What kind of max charging speeds do you all see? No matter what weather conditions, how long in to a drive, and using pretty much every different charger in Ireland I've never seen our ID3 go above 52kw! Getting annoying now on longer spins considering my 6 year old 28kw Ioniq can pull that speed off and be more efficient on the road!

How many 100kW+ chargers are there in Dublin for example.

Did not know it could filter on speed. Thanks

You can try the open - close repeat to see if you can get the actuator to move- is it clicking ?

After that leave the car locked for at least 10 mins to go into deep sleep.

Phil did need to get his removed by the dealer at one stage.

These things are very frustrating ..

May be worth ringing vw assist- they will send the AA out, they may have more luck- and could flat bed to dealer for a quicker fix if it’s under warranty.

They will ask you to lock it for at least 10 mins to let it go to sleep, seems to fix a lot of gremlins.

Yeah I had to get mine removed, literally the dealer had to physically break the flap off.

Waited ages then for a new one to come in.

I tried all the tricks above, no joy.

A few of us have had that issue. Its a warranty fix and since it has happened to you once it will only get worse from here so if I were you I'd book it in for replacement now before it leaves you stranded somewhere.

One is a year older.

Grey one has odd alloys and is only a 145hp car- high miles - no privacy glass, but looks to be on 3.2

White one is for sale a long time -

The ad isn’t great for info, may not have 3.2, may have a pan roof or not, may have matrix- listed as xenon but defo not xenon ..lower km’s…no mention of service history as it’s past it’s service date.

If they don’t have matrix I wouldn’t go near either - and definitely not a 145hp car ..

I think the white one is well specced - I think it is overpriced when you consider it's going into its 4th year next year. That being said all ID3s' are overpriced and prices I think will have to reduce significantly to get them shifting in 2024. Also I didn't notice anything on tyre condition- expensive to replace if needed.
