If you get 15k for your car your payment on a new Soul would be very little
Non Car Savvy Soul Enthusiast looking for advice :)
Hello everyone!
I lurked this community in past weeks because I was trying to gather information about Kia Souls. I used to have a 2005 Toyota Scion xb and man I loved that car. I eventually got a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition when I could afford a car payment and learned I loved the korean engineering!
I now find the Kia Soul's to be a merge between the comfiness, style, and quality that I had with both of my past cars!
I am very uninformed and I am struggling to pick a used model. I recently total'd my beautiful elantra (thank god I am safe!).
Some general questions (I will probably poke some of the other threads too)
How many miles would I be able to get out of one of these? Would it be safe to get one with 50k+ miles on it?
Im also curious if gen 1s, 2s, and 3s are that much of an improvement (or step back) from previous generations.
Lastly how do the newer generations hold value. I don't want to get a newer one if I can't recoup my losses when I eventually end up going to graduate school (don't want a car payment by then). I probably plan on selling this and getting a beater if I end up still having a car payment.
I will likely get $12-15k (likely lower end) from my insurance pay out and thus I do not want to get too deep into loans before next year. I would ideally like to have paid them off within the next year.
You all seem like very nice people so thanks for any insight
