Toyota may cost a few thousand more, but after 4 years it has over
double
the resale value of a Kia! We're talking 8K$!



Such poor research, Bob. I'm really shocked you could be so sloppy. The
2006 Kia is an all new minivan and no resale data is available for it
yet. Judging by the fact that it is currently a huge hit for them and
getting great reviews, it's likely resale will be better.
That said, few cars can match a Toyota in that area.

It's actually great research. There are many years of data in the links I
provided. All show that the Kia Sedona has had poor resale value. Really,
ask yourself:

"Who would pay top dollar for a Kia?"

An even better question is:

"Who would be a new Kia when a used one is a much better value?"

With a great review and 50 cents, one could buy a cup of coffee. No matter
what, the resale value will be less than Toyota and by a large margin.
