Alright, my Kia dealership nearby has this 2009 Sonata with 33k on it for $14,900. It's a base GL model, 4-cyl auto. It was driven by an old couple who just traded it in for a Sorento because they wanted to haul a camper or something. Even though it's base, the 2009 Sonata still comes with heated seats, trip computer, telescopic steering wheel, 6 airbags. It's only really missing ESC and TC that I would normally want. Alloys would have been nice, but doesn't bother me too much. Plenty of space for our new baby and her huge seat, huge stroller and everything else. With its big trunk, the Sonata gives us a lot more cargo space than our Sportage does (except than for big boxes/items, that is). Drove it for a little while and feels as though it'll do a great job with its 175hp and 5 speeds, probably will feel quite a bit quicker than the Sportage.
They're offering me $500 for my Accent, and are prepared to lower the asking price of the Sonata a little bit more depending on how things check out at the inspection; if nothing major needs to be changed (brakes, etc), they'll be more flexible. Tires are in very good condition.
If I can get it close to $15k on the road, good buy?
