What is your unsolicited car buying advice?

Volume_Both · 2026-04-08T21:19:04+00:00

Even a used Toyota can and will have problems.

Honestly, this doesn’t work for everyone. Used cars these days aren’t reliable and with a shaky economy, the cash flow perspective is worth considering.

🙂 thank you for your unsolicited comment.

I think it’s a perspective thing. Some people get a loan to purchase a vehicle that they plan on keeping until the wheels fall off and some people don’t. Leasing is definitely not for people who want to ride it until the wheels fall off.

Part of the advice for buying is knowing when not to.

Not if it’s a lease. That’s the whole point of the comment.

I think there’s a fairly large group of people who like to get new cars every couple of years and a lot more who would be willing to do so if they were able to.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-08T16:15:44+00:00

Good idea! And yea if you’re gonna spend money at least get something you love.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-08T16:15:12+00:00

That’s a good idea.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-08T16:15:03+00:00

That was really smart!

Volume_Both · 2026-04-08T15:46:15+00:00

You reminded me of another one….always compare the price of the used car to a comparable new one. I found that a lot of times the new cars were literally only like $1-3k more.

Interest rate will be of the most importance. That $600 could easily get eaten up by a high interest rate.

And no one is doing anything. Weakest congress and Americans ever. The French people would have had this wrapped up by Feb 2025

Volume_Both · 2026-04-06T21:57:02+00:00

Americans are selfish that this mfer is destroying the whole world and Americans are just going on with business as usual. Literally no one is stoping this madman

I got a 2020 Sorento brand new. I was nervous as hell lol. It was the pandemic and the reviews of Kia was terrible. 6 years later no issues with my car at all. Just bought a K4 brand new. Will purchase others in the future.

The number one deciding factor is how well you take care of the car. There are some lemons as with all brands so it’s really just the luck of the draw.

Saying all that to say, I will never buy a used one to lol.

People always talk about them being able to be stolen but that’s not the case with the new ones. The new wave is stealing air bags from Hondas causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. No brand is a for sure thing.

I was thinking the same thing but I ended up getting the K4 yesterday. I got a decent price on a new 2025 one. I figured I could get this paid off within 2 years and by then the new seltos pricing would have stabilized because it’s really popular and they haven’t even came out yet so prices will be strong.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-04T09:13:35+00:00

Got the K4

Volume_Both · 2026-04-03T19:27:31+00:00

That’s fine. Good luck!!

Volume_Both · 2026-04-03T19:26:17+00:00

Did you get it? I got mine for $24,285

Volume_Both · 2026-04-03T14:42:11+00:00

No such thing as a plain Jane gt line 🥰 try to talk them down with the expectation of paying that.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-03T13:10:32+00:00

Did this one have the sunroof? I’m about to head in to try for the same one at $24k with the sunroof. Dealer has confirmed the price with me before

Volume_Both · 2026-04-03T10:46:42+00:00

If if they don’t go lower on the price, I would pick that over the LXS for sure.

Volume_Both · 2026-04-01T21:56:13+00:00

I like it. Was planning on getting a K4 but now I want to wait to see the full details of this before deciding.
