Ya Kia's have little resale value since they aren't too popular or in demand.

My old boss had a kia car, and he said it was a decent little car and all, but the resale on it was terrible. I do believe he said he was hoping to get 6 grand for it, and it was 2 years old.

thats part of growing up dustin, you get to see the mistakes of others...be wise to learn from them.

the wife's aunt/uncle have a kia magentis. its a hunk of junk. noisy, harsh ride, the seats are rocks...i'd have to be pretty hard up to buy one!! never been in a van though so i won't give an opinion about them.

The 80's escorts weren't much but they were pretty dependable cars in the 90's. They are alot better than a cavalier!
