She was looking to move away from a 2-door to a 4 door. At first she was looking for some smaller cars like a Fiesta, Mazda2, Honda Fit (It's not that small). She also wanted something FWD or AWD so whe looked at a WRX as well.
We stopped looking around for a bit and I kept seeing these KIA's every where that always throw me off because they look like a Ford Taurus. I felt like that was the right car for her. When I told her her response sounded like she wanted to puke..... "A KIA? We went to the dealer to go look at them and she changed her mind about it. Looked Nice, Drove great, interior was nice. Everything she was looking for in a new car. Lots of bells and whistles with it and it has power as well. 274HP and 269TQ IIRC.
She thought about it for a while and kept looking around and last night decided on buying the Kia Optima SX with the Premium Package. It added heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, back up came (She needs it, lol), HD radio, heated steering wheel, Panoramic Sunroof (she needed to have it.), and a bunch of other stuff over a base Optima SX.
A base Optima SX starts at 26,800 and with the Premium package sticker on the window ended up at almost $31k. We got a steal on it for her and ended up at $25,5xx on it. 3k down offset dealer fees and taxes.
She really wanted white but they only had the SXL/EX/LX in white and skipped on black because black starts to show swirl marks in the clear after a while. She decided on thier mid grey. Not to dark but not a bright silver. It'll hide the dirt well like her mustang did.
Where the Blue 8 usually naps.
