DankNuggs 305 Posted February 9, 2011 My gf is looking at small SUVs, looking to pick up a slighly used '08 model for 17-18k... I told her to consider the sportage as you can get one new for close to that price... She is leaning towards getting a Ford Escape or a Jeep Liberty... Think they did a nice job with the styling, interior on the sportage looks pretty decent as well... While i personally would never drive one, for a chick its decent deal.. She just wants to seating up in the air in an suv... thats pretty much her only concern... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted February 9, 2011 I got an '08 Hyundia Santa Fe Limited 2 years ago that had about 15k miles on it for my oldest daughter. The thing is nice. Leather, heated seats, sun roof, 6 disc Infinity sound system that thumps, good sized 6 cylinder that has plenty of power and gets 22-24 mpg. The thing drives and rides great.

Big Blue 06 195 Posted February 9, 2011 I got an 07 Kia Rondo for the wife a couple of years ago that had about 14K miles. Runs great, never had to put it in the shop for anything, so I can't complain. However, if I'm spending 30 grand, I'm getting a real car, not a Kia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recliner Pilot 61 Posted February 9, 2011 how much you pay for it? I have a family member who works for Hyundai. Never even thought about them until she told me what she could do. It was one an employee had for a year. At the time they were going for $24,00-$26,000 on cars.com. I got it for $16,100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,297 Posted February 10, 2011 Kia's are sh!t cars. If you don't have any money and need a car, then by all means, get a Kia. But if you have $30K to spend you can do A LOT better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 993 Posted February 10, 2011 I would not buy a new car at all unless I came into an absurd amount of money. I dont want to sound like a jew here but I can get most models of car I want gently used for far less than what it would cost to buy a brand new car. Unless the updates on the new car is like.....flying. Im not interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edjr 5,546 Posted February 10, 2011 my last 3 cars were brand new, as will my next one. I don't give a sh1t about paying an extra 10,000 for a new car, I want new and I don't want anyone else to drive it or ever to have driven it. Other than off the truck and maybe a test drive.
