I have an offer to buy a Karma with about $4K miles for $55K, Single owner who recently passed away, and know nothing more…yet. I have read the buyer checklist & more here, but I’m not a buyer yet and am actually looking for pre-purchase advice & opinions. I’ll need to make a decision this week.
I was not in the market for this car, but was presented with the opportunity so I’m debating. You all have a stunning car….and I’m wondering is this a fit for me? Your responses & advice are greatly appreciated!
Driving: I drive 30 miles to-from work, a mix of traffic & open road. I also drive all through Southern California traffic at a clip of 25K miles/year. Would this car be “wise” as a daily driver?
Repair tolerance: I own an exotic so I know all about quirky issues and am used to paying about $2,500/year for maintenance, but am not looking to pick up something that is bound to break. Forums tend to be issue laden (which is an important reason they exist), but happy drivers tend to be more quiet….how “reliable” are these cars?
Location: I work across the street from where the Orange County Fisker Dealer used to be, so I am close to LorMax.
Fears: As beautiful & desirable as they are, and beyond the manufacturer being gone with questionable future, significant to me is that people are selling their Fiskers at deep discounts to "get out". Your members in the forum banner are a good example of this. Why are owners leaving? Is it preemptive & driven by fear, or because of vehicle
issues?
As current owners, I appreciate any/all feedback sharing your experiences, advice on what you would consider, and weigh in on your decision making process if you were in my shoes.
Thanks Karma Crew!
