I'm selling my 2014 i3 Rex for $9500. It's in great condition especially for its age, only has 60k miles on it, no moonroof or leather, hsoc already programmed and works great, good set of tires on 19" pizza pie rims, and I also have a full set of snow tires on a 2nd set of rims. Both sets of tires have about half their life left. Car runs perfect, no codes of any kind, I'd never part with it except for the 2022 RAV4 Prime I have parked next to it. Full set of Weathertech floor mats. Drives like a dream - first one who looks at it will buy it.

Having purchased 2 used i3's remotely, I and probably others would like more information.
Where are you located?
The second photo includes optional 20" wheels that you aren't advertising. Is this the i3 that you are selling but without these wheels?
Assuming that this is a U.S. i3, it is the lowest trim level, Mega World. In 2014, this meant that it is missing some features that higher trim levels and later i3's included like, if I recall correctly, Comfort Access, Universal Garage Door Opener, some interior LED's, etc. (please correct me if I'm wrong).
DC fast charging was optional in 2014. It's difficult to see in the side photo, but it appears that there are no DC charging pins. Please clarify.
Does it include the Tech & Driving Assist package (wider iDrive screen, adaptive cruise control, ADAS system), Park Assist package (reversing camera, rear ultrasonic obstacle sensors), or Harman Kardon entertainment system?
Do both front seat heaters work?
As the previous owner of a 2014 i3 BEV that I bought new and whose battery pack degraded more rapidly than I expected, I would want to know about the condition of the battery pack. You have posted that its summer range estimate was ~60 miles dropping to ~45 in cold weather. Please report the battery pack's state of health as displayed by the mi3, Electrified, eFlow, or ISTA app or the Batt. Kapa. max value displayed in its service menu. These are only calculated estimates that can change with temperature, charge level, etc., but they're at least an indication of the battery health. At least with a REx, the battery pack health isn't as important as with a BEV unless driving without burning gasoline is important,

It would help you sell the car better if you just put all the details requested on here so other potential buyers can see.
No. Having just experienced a situation in which a remote purchaser bought a 2014 i3 BEV from its original owner only to discover that its battery pack is in such terrible condition that he won't be able to use his i3 as planned. The original owner must have known about this problem but didn't disclose it and refused to refund the purchase price.
If you don't want to post more information, that's certainly your right.
Yep. Several members i3 Facebook groups have been scammed recently by unscrupulous sellers. One way to minimize the risk would be for sellers to be more transparent about what they're selling. If you're unwilling to do that, some potential buyers might conclude that buying your i3 is too risky.
It really is in your interests to make your advert as informative as possible. One of the predictable things about scam adverts is that they almost never say where the car is, for example. That's typically so that, wherever the buyer happens to be, they can make it so that the car is many miles away, and cannot realistically be seen at short notice.
The numbers of scammers on forums and FB groups has got to such a level that people will pick up on things that don't quite look right - such as two photos of the car with different wheels. There's no point in giving a semi-hostile reaction to someone that points these things out to you.
Anyone paying attention will see I've been posting about my i3 for several months, and if genuinely interested in my particular car they can contact me and I'll answer their questions and send them the VIN so they can do all the research they like. I just won't answer random questions from lookie-loos.
