Maintenance after 60k miles
Hey folks. So I have opportunity to get relatively cheap 2017 i8, with about 60k miles. As of now it works good, no major issues with battery, engine or transmission. However I was wondering what should I expect from car with 60k miles? It's not new - 8 years and have some relatively big mileage and I would not want to keep car in service 2/3 year.
I'm have my own service station, have access to "below market prices", and would be doing most of stuff myself. So my question is - is it worth to put ~$45k into 2017 i8 with 60k miles on it? |

I occasionally look at the i8’s that are listed for sale with high mileage to see if they have a link posted to Carfax. I am interested to see what kind of issues that have been fixed on the car over the years. Mostly I see nothing reported besides normal service, oil changes, etc. occasionally I see an air conditioner compressor replacement which is kind of normal on pre LCI cars. A fair amount of checking of engine software seems also to be common, but no real issues stand out.

That will the biggest problem with all used electric/hybrid cars. They do not like the batteries getting completely discharged. If dealer does not keep a car on a charger when parked on the lot for extended periods of time it will lead to battery degradation and apart from checking the battery capacity i am not aware of anyway to track the dealers habits while cars are on the lot.
