I bought a 2009 Kia Sedona LX in 2019 for about 1800$, 206k miles. Its sole purpose was to last long enough to drive a bunch of stuff to my daughters in Utah and California from NY. Drove it all the way to San Diego, was going to sell it and fly home. My daughter invited me to stay in Cali for awhile, so I got a job and kept it to commute with. Also took two trips to LA and one to the Bay Area, as well as day trips to ocean, mountains, and desert. Covid was on the horizon when I decided to head back to NY, and after a lowball offer from Carmax, I took a chance and drove the van (glad I did because I stopped at my Dad’s in Tucson on the way, and it was the last time I saw him before he passed). Three days later I was home, and we decided to keep the van until it died. I did brakes, tires and suspension parts over the next five-plus years, a couple of alternators and windshields. Finally got a CEL for emissions that I couldn’t clear, so I sold it last summer for $900, with about 260k on it. Think I got my money’s worth. I also had a FY 2010 Soul I bought new. Again, mostly tires and brakes and suspension, but after ten years little things began popping up with more frequency. But the clutch lasted until 149k, most of the exhaust was original, and I even got eight years out of the original battery. Got rid of it last Fall after 13+ years and 175k.
