Hi,

I was able to find a used VW 2023 Volkswagen iD4 Pro S with 50k miles, CPO. They're listing the car for 23.5k, what should I ask as an OTD price?

Any info or support would be appreciated, this would be my first car purchase.

Hi everyone,

I've been leasing a '23 iD.4 Pro that I love but the lease is coming to an end. I'm spot on on the miles (36k), all recalls done, and I've been babying the battery so range has not decreased at all.

The residual was above market value ($24.1k) and I was considering just extending the lease. But now VW has the $3k incentive to buy, which would bring it just below market, so I decided to pull the trigger. Since the deal requires dealership participation I went to mine to start the process.

They started giving me a song and dance about some CPO iD.4 they had in stock, for $23k. But I have no idea about that car. The long term mi/kWh said 2.1 which looks really low to me (i don't know if it's the battery or just the way the old owner drove). I know exactly what is wrong with the one I drive, which is nothing at all.

When I insisted on buying mine they said that in order to apply the $3k they would have to "re-certify" the car (for $600 plus whatever repairs they find). It's also gonna need tires (I knew that) but they said these alone would run up to $2k (I can have OEM tires installed for $1k a block away from my house). They even mentioned doing the 30k mile inspection, which is already done! So they're really pushing the CPO on me, insisting that buying mine would be more expensive than just getting their CPO.

I've already talked to VW finance and they've washed their hands, saying that whatever conditions the dealer puts are what it is. It looks to me like the dealership is trying to claw back as much as possible of that $3k for themselves. I don't need the car certified, I just want to buy it as-is.

My question is, does this look like dealership shenanigans? Are they using this re-certification condition to hold the $3k hostage? And most importantly: do you think all dealerships are doing this, or can I shop around to see who will just sell me the car as-is?

Family man, 2 small kids, living in Brussel, BE. I don’t really see myself driving more than 3-4 times a week and no more than 1hr on those days.

I would occasionally do a short road trip (2-3 days) inside Europe but that would be every 6 to 12 months.

Im not interested in speed or anything special, im even decided on a second hand car. And this would be my first EV

The problem is that there are many models with different settings that I don’t really understand or recognise.

Pure, Pro, Pro Performance etc

What would you do in my case ? Looking for suggestions or advice from owners

I recently rented an ID4, probably a later model than my 1./Max from 21. I noticed that the drivers seat moved automatically backwards when i opened the door. Is that only avaliable in later models? Mine has the same seat buttons and massage.

I have a 2022 ID4 and the back of the seat got scratched, I am wondering if anyone has any idea on how to fix this? Or if it even is possible to fix it?

I took it to a shop and they tried cleaning, polishing and small paint but it did not go away and was still visible.

Can we wash the engine room with water?

Hello fellow ID4 drivers! I built a little hobby app that I’m wondering if any of you would like to help beta test? It’s made for EV road trips, so if you’ve got one coming up—and maybe you’re also a planning and/or map geek—drop me a message.

If anyone remembers the old AAA TripTik’s, it’s like that but for chargers.

One side effect of the ID4’s route planning being entirely unusable is that I have learned to pick my own chargers and do my own math. Over 32k miles—mostly road trips across the Northeast—I have learned the benefits of arriving at a charging stop at the lowest possible state of charge. And I’ve also learned how much happier my passengers are when that charger is a good spot, with good food.

So I always want to know how far I am from the next good charger along my route, and the next one after that. (But without being bound to a pre-determined plan, like ABRP.) I want a live answer to the question, “should we stop here or go one more?” And then, once I’m charging, “how much do I need to charge to get to the next great stop?”

So I built that! (I’m not a developer, just playing with AI tools.)

Let me know if you have a trip coming up and you’re interested in trying it out.

Is rear seat heating available for the ID4? The Škoda MEB based Elroq has it.

Thanks for help.

VW removed id4 from the list of available models in Canada, but still lists it in the US. No electric trim is available for Tiguan either so far. Just ID Buzz is available. Wonder, if we'll get "electric" Tiguan or there will be some EU "last" id versions delivered, or maybe chinese versions :).

Any options for a 25+ ft extension cord to connect from my 50-amp NEMA receptacle to the VW portable charger?

I currently own a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and drive to work four days a week 23 miles one-way in stop and go traffic for at least an hour . I will be starting a new job requiring commuting five days a week even farther in the Greater Houston area for the suburbs 28 miles each way.
I am considering an ID.4 yo replace the Atlas.
Looking for feedback from owners in terms of reliability and tech.
However, a starting MSRP over $45,000 makes me wonder if I should consider alternatives such as the Tesla Model Y which starts at about the same price.

So ive been going back and forth with VW since I bought my 23 Pro S 3 years ago regarding intermittent GPS issues where it will think its off the road or miles away.

The past few months however its completely failed.

While stationary it shows the right location, and from the dealerships diagnostic all satellites are connected and signal is fine.

However as soon as the car starts moving now it becomes lost, sometimes hundreds of miles away.

I've had it in the shop for the past week so they can get VWs tech team to respond to their open ticket... today I was updated with this and wondering if anyone knows what this code may be, or has experienced this before.

"OPENED VTA TICKET FOR NAVIGATION CONCERN (JT-1684385). VTA STATED NAVIGATION CONCERNS ARE STILL UNDER REVIEW AND VEHICLE SHOULD BE RETURNED TO CUSTOMER UNTIL CARNET CONTACTS CUSTOMER WITH A RESOLUTION."

TIA!

It’s been over 5 months since I requested the download on the vw app. I have successfully done at least one OTA in the past so I know it can do it but 5 months seems like a long time to wait for my wave of VINs. I called VW support and they weren’t able to tell me when my VIN might come up for download. I’ve done all the things like drove a long time to give it a chance etc. but never does it.

I am anxious for this one because my infotainment is having all kinds of problems I have posted about before and hoping there is a bug fix here to make it more stable.

I’m curious anyone else out there waiting more than 5 months for 3.8.11?

Pulled the trigger on 23 Pro!

Just bought a 2023 ID.4 Pro RWD - picking it up Thursday. It's a lease return with 48k miles, clean Carfax. Paid $21.5k out the door.

Might be slightly over market, but with used EV prices trending up and needing a car within the week, it felt like the best deal I could find.

From what I've seen, the tires looked like they're due for replacement soon. Dealer says everything else checked out fine, but I'm planning to take it to an independent shop nearby right after pickup just to be safe. Anything specific I should have them look at, or things that tend to go wrong on these at these mileage?

Thanks for any suggestions!
