Kia Rondo Replacements

[Bob]

I believe it is just a mechanical limited slip.

I mean you do want that. I don't know why it would be an option. Then again, it's just the N/A 3.6.

[Bob]

It seems like the easiest way to get everything I want is to find a Premium 3.6L. As you have mentioned in the past, the premium you pay for a fully optioned car is far less in the used market, so you might as well go for it.

[kevm14]

True but does a Premium come with FE3? I think you want FE3. I think a loaded Performance is what you may want, and this one is pretty close.

The GM performance exhaust is pretty cool, too. This car sounds really nice. How does it book out and also compare to others for sale? I think you should look at it.

[Bob]

I think the price is pretty fair considering the mileage, options and that it's CPO. Of course there are cheaper ones out there, but this seems to be a good price for what it is.

[Bob]

I think if my purchase timeframe gets pushed out, I am going to have to throw the 2014 CTS Vsport on the list. It seems to be depreciating pretty well so far, with some 2014s already in the mid-$30k range.

[kevm14]

The V-Sport is a really nice car. Quick, good chassis, roomy. The MSRP of the 2014 if I recall was as low as $60k (and probably lower transaction price) but that's still pretty steep depreciation.

[Bob]

I think I would want a V-sport Premium because it comes with a lot of nice options and is the only way to get a sunroof. One very nice touch in the Premium is the full LCD cluster that gets rid of the cheap looking analog gages.

[kevm14]

I guess the reason to get the V-Sport would be depreciation. But don't forget about the SS. If it is unloved that would be perfect.
