Anyone familiar with the i3?

The REx i3 did not have a heat pump due to the fuel tank but the BEV versions did have a heat pump.

Ah - that makes sense.

A new Bolt can be had for less than $20k after tax credit. It's hard to compete with that on price.

I am not as familiar with the Bolt as I am with the i3. The Bolt has much more range but is also much more of an economy car - which is good for costs and service. If you have an opportunity to test drive an i3, I would recommend it! The Bolt is probably a more practical lower cost option, but be sure to get one with the updated battery.

Some people complain that the Mach-E ride is harsh, but I have a buddy who has a Bolt, and the one time I was in it I was really shocked at how uncomfortable it rode over my local streets, leaps and bounds harsher than the Mach-E (which I personally think isn’t harsh at all).

Update:
Thanks to all who responded. I called the number that was on the handwritten sign on the car. I got the automated attendant of a mega dealership more than 100 miles away. I hung up and am no longer interested in the car.

Yep, buddy of mine bought a i3 for $20k little while ago. Then got a $18k repair estimate when it crapped the bed. (But it's AZ and nothing can take the heat well here)
