AI Market Summary

**Strong EV fundamentals:** ID.3 delivers genuine 300+ km range, rapid DC charging, low running costs, and zero tailpipe emissions—excellent fit for Irish commuting patterns.
**Pricing trending upward:** Market up 18.7% year-on-year; at €24,900 median, this model holds value well but commands premium vs. older EV stock. Fair value if mileage checks out.
**Early software teething issues resolved:** 2023 units suffered touchscreen lag and infotainment glitches—nearly all fixed via free over-the-air updates. Confirm seller has latest software version.
**12V auxiliary battery weak point:** Premature discharge and failure reported around 40k–60k km. Request service history proof of battery health; budget €200–400 for replacement if not covered under warranty.
**Check charging port and connectors closely:** Salt exposure can corrode contacts and cause slow charging. Test charging (both AC and DC) on inspection; corrosion repair costs €150–500.
**NI import note:** €2,935 saving before VRT applies; full cost of registration and levies typically €500–700 extra, eroding most savings—factor this in against dealer stock.
