Now...should I teach him about AWD in a performance car and what advantages it offers? 14" ground clearance? Granny low and differential locks? 8' snowplow? I don't have a Kia Sedona anymore. We traded it for a SUV. With 50K miles on it the Sedona was the only trouble free car I owned. I'm picking up an Outlander XLS for Suzanne, so we'll see how it compares. R. |

And you said you were going to keep it for years! At least you made lemonade with the lemons! Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You're right, and as I explained to the late Bob Crantz, the Sedona was fantastic. When sold we got 17,500.00 for it and never had to pay a dime except for gas. Even the oil was paid by Kia. So we lost 10K after 54K miles or so. Now the same year Sienna with the same options would have brought us about 3K more on resale, but it would have cost 4.5K more to buy. So we saved over the Sienna and got a better van with the best safety record available. Lemonade indeed, sir. RB |

Stunning resale value! And you said you were going to keep it for
years! Never said any such thing. I rarely keep a car more than two or three years. I've owned 4 new cars in 4 years and am buying two more in a week. I have a contract on a GT-R as well. Why does this worry you so? RB |
