Kia Sorento

We have looked at several different SUV's. We are trading in a 2006 Dodge Charger and would love to buy another one, but they are a little out of our price range for what we want. I do like the Equinox, but it is hard to beat the 30mpg estimated on the Sonata. My wife drives close to 60 miles round trip daily so we are looking for something to haul kids and not need to be refueled every two days. And for anyone wondering why were getting rid of the Charger is because the miles are high (122000). I made a first time car buyer mistake and bought a used car with high miles.

um...

if you bought it used, you're still paying on it, right?

Trade in value on a "regular" Charger (non R/T, non Hemi) is maybe $6,500 - $7,000...which is probably less than what you owe, right?

Just pointing out some options instead of eating MORE debt rolled into another 5 or more years of car payments, that's all.

Repairs will ALWAYS be cheaper than taking on more car payments.

Sorry but kia is krap. I would suggest the explorer or escape as a good vehicle.

Fixed that for you.

Kia and Hyundai have made massive leaps forward in the last 5 years. They make real cars now, not the tinny crap they used to put out.

I understand that, Ive come to the realization and am perfectly fine with the fact that I will probably have a car payment until the day I die. This is being purchased for my wife and I want something that I dont have to worry about taking to the shop. Dont get me wrong the Charger is a great car and we've had no problems with it, but I know its just a matter of time. We are planning on paying whatever negative equity there is on the Charger.
