I'm seriously looking at a 2019 Niro PHEV for a great price ($17.5k) with 74,000 miles. However on the CARFAX it had its clutch replaced by a Kia dealer and it's water pump replaced as well. This was done 20,000 miles ago before it was sold to the used dealership I'm looking to buy from.
I called that Kia service dept and they said the gears were grinding between 2nd and 3rd gears so they replaced the clutch and actuator and it fixed all the problems. Again that was 20k miles ago.
Should I be worried about this car? Would you stay away from it?
I'm having an inspection tomorrow, anything they should look specifically at that's not obvious?

I am looking at PHEV SUVs and I am allured by the Niro. I have test driven a few and I am very impressed with the handling, shock absorption, and drive comfort.

However, after reading reviews online, I am seeing that there have been many cases of complete electronic failure mid-drive, hybrid system failures, transmission issues, and other fatal problems.

I wanted to check with the reddit world to see if these are something that I should be worried about, and if there is are any signs of this issue that I can watch out for when shopping.

The ones I am looking at are around 20-50k+ miles; I am wondering if that means the individual cars have 'been around the block' enough time to have self-selected out of a lemon situation, or if those issues tend to come up later in life.

I have a $10k grant toward a PHEV so I am kinda locked in to that option.

I have been trying to get my wage transcript for 2026 on the irs website since I usually do that to see which documents to file. I have a lot of random accounts so it's helpful. For the past few months the website keeps giving me an error message saying the transcript is unavailable. I even called the IRS and they said they mail it but all I received was a letter with the same error code.

For this mean that the irs doesn't have my wage info? Should I just file with the 1099s etc that I do have and hope for the best, or keep waiting?

What happens if I missed one or more accounts reporting?

Thanks!
