We find the Korean maker Kia (now owned by Hyundai) on that same path ... in fact, well on its way. If you still haven't noticed, they make an excellent vehicle at an affordable price. They also put their money where their mouth is with a top-of-the-line warranty as well.
If you do research on the internet, you'll find a lot of very good "Expert Reviews". You'll also find very strong "Consumer Reviews" from people who actually own them. We've had many Kia models in here over the years and have always been more than impressed.
Here's just a few of our favorites:
Kia Rio: This affordable economy car is surprisingly pleasant to drive, has many more standard features than you'd expect (such as seat-mounted side and headliner-mounted side curtain airbags) and is very comfortable for compact car. Excellent gas mileage too. We particularly recommend 2003 and up models due to their improved suspensions and upgraded interiors.
Kia Spectra: The Spectra is a fuel efficient and affordable compact economy car that simply doesn't look, feel or drive like one. It has a long list of standard equipment, solid build quality, capable handling and a smooth ride. Anyone shopping for a compact car should take a serious look at the Spectra.
Kia Optima: In the midsize sedan category, the Optima certainly delivers a lot of bang for the buck. Like other Kias, it is loaded with features not usually found in its price range, its now proven its strong build quality, it has a great warranty and a very attractive price. Roomy and comfortable, lots of safety features and good handling as well.
Kia Sportage: The revamped Sportage (2005 and newer) is one of the best values in the small SUV market. This is an agile and powerful SUV with vastly improved build and feature quality since the Hyundai merger. You can get a V6 with all-wheel-drive for literally thousands less than the competition.
Kia Sorento: The Sorento's most notable qualities include its above-average off-road handling and towing capabilities, its attractive edgy styling, it's first-rate interior materials, its impressive list of features and pleasant ride. This is a rugged SUV with the typical Kia profile of a strong value with an exceptional warranty.
Kia Sedona: The Sedona minivan has simply been a big success with both buyers and reviewers. With its strong crash test scores, it's one of the safest minivans on the planet. And with its solid build quality coupled with a comfortable and quiet ride, the Sedona is a serious contender.
We like other Kias as well, but I think you get the point. In our humble opinion, a Kia makes an excellent choice as a used vehicle purchase.
How To Buy A Used Kia
At The Best Price:
There are actually several different ways to buy a used Kia at the lowest price and even at wholesale, depending on which method personally fits you best.
ONE - Car Auctions:
First, you can check for used Kias at public car auctions. This article covers how to locate these auctions and the key issues in using them to your advantage. While this method isn't for everyone and will likely take some additional time and effort on your part, there are indeed some truly outstanding buys for those who shop these auction events.
TWO - Spot Wholesale Opportunities On Dealer Lots:
The technique explained here is incredibly effective and involves identifying outstanding but "price-distressed" used Kias for sale on dealer lots, ones they are extemely desperate to sell.
THREE - Set Up A Dealer Competition:
Another excellent method involves getting several used car dealers to compete for your business. This article details the best way to carry out this process. It's just amazing what happens to prices when true competition takes place.
