Score read
A 72/100 makes this worth pursuing if the price is sane. Build quality score is 93/100, but owner feedback score is only 49/100. Reddit threads cluster around owner satisfaction and software tech — verify both against the service records. Next, prove battery condition, charging behavior, tires, and service history.
Price context

- 2 Confirm how much of the 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty remains and whether it transfers.
- 3 If road trips matter, run a short DC fast-charge session and watch whether speed tapers normally.
- 4 Read the complaint themes, not just the count, and ask the seller whether those issues have shown up on this VIN.
- 5 Review title, service history, tire condition, and charging-equipment records before final price.

Source & disclaimer
Dealers make ~$3,575 on the average car loan.
After the price is set, the finance manager runs four plays to rebuild margin. Every buyer without a pre-approval is a target. Here's exactly what they run — and what stops each one.
78% of dealer loans carry a hidden +1.13% markup above what the lender actually charges. You never see it — it's buried in the contract. · CFPB
Dealer must match or beat your lender — they can't add margin invisibly. The markup play is dead on arrival.
Once you answer, they stretch the term to hit your number. Median result: $4K less off the price, 12 more months on the loan. · Industry avg
Financing is done. Only the sale price is on the table — and the dealer knows it.
Back-office F&I profit averages $1,975/vehicle, up 8.5% YoY. These products exist — but dealer markup is 4–10x what you'd pay elsewhere. · Dealership Guy
Dealer GAP runs $500–1K. Your insurer sells the same coverage for $100–250 over 5 years. Now you know.
"Your loan fell through — come re-sign." This pulls your APR up +5% on average. It's legal. It works because you've already driven the car home. · Ctr for Responsible Lending
A lender commitment letter means the deal is final. "Pending dealer approval" doesn't apply. You can't be yo-yo'd.
Margin handed to the dealer's finance department — for nothing.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation to use it — but you'll walk in with all the leverage.
Pre-approval is a soft credit inquiry — no score impact. FICO treats all auto-loan hard pulls within 14 days as one, so you can still shop rates at the dealer.

What Owners Are Saying
"Buying the new Toyota C-HR+, getting the home charger with it and Aviva insurance. Anything you’d do differently? So I’ve been reading this sub endlessly for a while now to learn more about EV’s and it has been incredibly valuable so thanks all; this has become my go-to for EV info. We’re in Cumbria so wanted a small SUV/Crossover size car and after test driving a few we’ve ordered the C-HR+ Design model (77kwh) as this seems the best size, range, etc for us. Toyota have a deal with new purchases to get the Hive home charger installed for £695 so we ordered that to and I saw a recommendation on EV insurance at Aviva and sure enough, they were the best price with the same add-ons so happy with that. I understand (from reading here) real-world range will be less due to our location, temps, hilly roads, etc but the C-HR+ should still hopefully keep at 300 or more so seems like the best fit for us. So looking this over - is there anything I’ve missed or you’d recommend I change?Thanks."
"Don't buy a Toyota EV. Plenty of people not happy with the BZ4X range and I don't think it will be any different with the CHR+. I'd for for an EC5 Aircross with the larger battery or the new GLB Electric."
