Double the resale value!
 

Check out Toyota Sienna resale values:

Compared to Kia Sedona:

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$!

Just think, the Kia lost 4K of value just by having RB sign on the dotted
line.

Kia: The Dodge Caravan for the new century!

hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

Amen!

Double the resale value!
 

I'm a Korean War Veteran and there's no way I would support that Korean
crap. I bet that thing is colder than the Chosin Reservoir in winter and
rattles like a Russian T-54 tank. The thing probably smells like kimchee and
smokes like a Korean wantiki torch burning bunker oil. If only McArthur had
pushed into Manchuria we would all be driving Chryslers today. Don't get me
going on that Jap stuff either! Sure, they are built in America but in
Japanese controlled labor camps. Miss your quota once it is off to the
hotbox for you. Screw up again and it is off with your head. No, I would
rather drive a car built by big, fat, lazy, overpaid union workers. They are
fat because they eat steak, not riceballs and fish heads. That foreign stuff
is junk.

Now tell us what you really think....

Double the resale value!
 

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.

The Kia Sedona you've researched is not the same car...not even close.
You failed at your research. you might as well have compared resale of
a 2006 WRX to the older 1999 RS from Subaru.


"Who would pay top dollar for a Kia?"


I don't know. I'm sure glad we didn't. In fact we paid almost 2.5K less
than average according to Edmunds and got free alarm, remote starter
and oil changes.

An even better question is:

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

There are no used Sedonas. The new model is only out a few months.


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.

But it's nicer than any Toyota by a good margin, has nicer ride, better
handliing and far more power. I wouldn't buy the Toyota due to the poor
power.

Back to your drawing board, Bob!

That's pretty insulting. The USA minivans are the worst in the world,
The Nissan Quest is also pretty bad.

My top 3:

AWD Sienna
Kia Sedona EX
Honda Oddessy


RB

Double the resale value!

You're right. Not even you deserve such an insult. I take it back.
Hopefully, you will accept my apology.

You had to buy the car to get the freebies. They aren't free.

They will start filling used car lots soon.

The power difference only begins in the top ten percent of the rpm range.
Are you going to redline a minivan?

The Toyota is lighter and has a far superior transmission. Not to mention
exceptional gas mileage.

Toyota can point to a consistent track record of quality and exceptional
value.

The best KIA can do is hope that this car is their exception and meets the
norm for Toyota. Wings on a pig Robster!

Double the resale value!
