I like to buy used cars that weren't produced in large numbers, because they tend to hold their value and sell quickly. Right now I drive a Kia Stinger. My last few cars were Lexus CT200h, Acura RSX, and a couple E30 BMWs(I made a profit on each of those).

How do you like the Stinger? Always thought they looked fun plus they can accommodate my height.

I love the car. It drives smooth, quiet on the highway, sounds great at WOT, and has decent power. My son fits comfortably in the car.
It handled the snow great with AWD too. I cross shoped a macan, but everyone has them and maintenance costs way more.

There are three cons. Kia dealerships are the worst. The factory break pads cause vibrations, and should be swapped out. Fuel economy isn't great. The only one that would make me not get another is the dealer experience. I had a puddle in my car after a recall. 😡

Oh yeah. I nearly traded in my Telluride after dealing with Apex KIA in Raleigh.

KIA really needs to put some pressure on their dealers. They are moving up from budget brand and need dealers that dont just sell subprime auto loans all day. The fact that KIA didn't even respond to my email about my complaints is very indicative.

That's my stinger being photo bombed by a McLaren at cars and coffee. Another nice thing is that I'm the only stinger driver at these events.

That is a sexy car. Although I'm quite happy with my Kia EV6.

Interesting angle.

2015 Subarus (like mine) always hold value and come with buttons and knobs and don’t vacuum up my data! 10/10 will buy again!

Drive the safest car. Usually that means not old, not shitty. All that money doesn't do you any good if you're dead or maimed.

Getting a new car within the next month. Hyundai Tuscon hybrid pretty good value and a solid car. I drive too much commuting to work for an expensive vehicle.

i'm impressed on the at-home shock repair, esp. on an older vehicle that is probably corroded underneath.

Average folks would rather project “winning” than *actually win. #MakeYourChoice #TakeAStand #GrowAPair

Yup my Honda civic is 10 years old. Has all the features I want. Told hubby I would start looking but not buying new car. Mainly cause car insurance rates!!!
