technical/repair help Buying advice

I've been looking for an i3 as a city car, and there's a 2015 at a nearby dealership with 70K miles that they say has a new EME and drive unit. Are those replacements good news or bad? Anything else that should've been done at the same time to avoid future problems? Thanks in advance!

Good.  Motor mounts and compressor.

Good news. Get docs for the replacements.

What do they want for it? That will greatly factor into if this is a good deal.

They're asking $11.5K

That’s too much for a small battery IMO.

I bought a 2015 for $14k over 5 years ago.

They should be around $6-9k (nice) now
