Put a deposit down yesterday on a used Fisker Ecosport. Seems like a great price, one owner, serviced by the dealership since purchase with a clean bill of health. Dealership seems on the up and up with disclosure. In fact, reminded me that there is no warranty and will have to be a cash transaction because of the difficulty financing a car which has a company that is out of business. I have several concerns...
1) For those that own, or have owned, do you LIKE the car?
2) Has the car been reliable?
3) How can you tell anything about the car with the VIN? (late model, etc.)
4) One of the used cars on the lot did not start and we could not even open the doors initially. The salesman stated that the battery was only showing 40% and that was the issue. My question is, how much battery do you need to start the car? Can it run on gas only from the start? Has anyone driven theirs long distance?
Basically, I test drove the Telsa, however, it is more expensive and the limit to only electricity in a state that is prone to hurricanes, loss of power, etc. scares me. The hope was that the Fisker was more versatile in that regard and obviously it is a much nicer looking car! So, honest Pros and Cons would be appreciated!
