"See my new pretty.....Its Green!"
We retired the Lumina APV the other day. 142,000 miles-20,000 of it ours-but lots of nickel and dimeing going on. I put 1200 of our savings acct/tax return into it in February for what started as a tune up and became replacing the front axle, boot, joint, and lots of other fun stuff. Never mind that it takes half pulling out the engine to change the rear three plugs. SO, a coworker of mine had a really good experience in Lincoln with the Kia dealer and we figured " What the heck....". We found three mini-v's on thier inventory site that would fit what we wanted and wanted to pay, and based on how it turned out I think we did okay. We got a 2002 Kia Sedona with most options and 64000 miles. I think I can even change the plugs in it if I want to, though it depends on how restrictive the remaining warranty is on it. If they track every little thing then Ill have to back off on doing repairs myself. It hauls, and doesn't look that boringly domestic. I hardly drive it, so I just hope it does what it needs to. My 86 cav will have to last a while longer but its for she and the kids, so I feel better about that.
