I knew I wasn’t going to be able to just “drop it off” and not pay anything, but was hoping they would have some kind of good will program for special circumstances...

Luckily Carmax came through or I would have done the same as well. What angered me most is that they would sell it to themselves or another Kia dealer, which didn’t seem fair. Like, I almost told them that I would either buy it back myself or get an auto broker to bid it up higher just to screw them.

Thank you for the kind words. Kia isn’t really at fault here - it’s Kia Financial, they are pretty much a bank.

Here’s my long and somewhat sad story of my wife’s lease with Kia...

Most ad blockers earn revenue from selling access to display ads to users. You should try uBlock Origin - they haven’t sold out yet. They are a fork of another blocker that did sell out.

Actually the hood setup on the Ghia meant that repairs were more expensive/difficult than the traditional multi-piece fender/hood setup...

There was one company that had a process that use ANY bio matter as the basis of fuel - including road kill.

I’m going to guess we’re gonna get radio silence from here on out as some have posted that this could be from one of their own (cop car).

While not a Mach 1, I purchased my 302 powered notchback 73 Mustang in 1988 for $1200.  Back when leaded gas was only 89 cents a gallon. Now these things are going for mad money.

And it’s even lower than the GDI motors they use (not in the US, sorry) at 57 MPG.
