In reply to the discussion: I went car hunting today [View all]Marthe48
(19,199 posts)35. I called and the salesman I worked with
told me on the phone models at that price weren't available. I cheched the reviews for that dealer, and they were mostly favorable. I went over to see a 2023 Kia Soul with 17,000 miles on it. He said I could get $4000.00 min for a trade, and get the remainder of the 10yr/100k warranty. I told him when I met him, I was there because of the radio, and he showed me vehicles in the range. My daughter was with me, and she was trying to talk me into a Sportster. lol
That dealer will get a 2024 Kia in on June 29th that I'm supposed to go look at.
I have to start somewhere It isn't urgent and knock wood, my Prius is doing fine.
Thanks!
