Just looking right know, what the kid wants and what I thank he should have are miles apart. I am looking for Honda civic or Accord. Somthing that will be half way reliable. He had A Saturn but was involved in accident on Friday, the front end recieved alot of damage. The car is not worth that much to get fixed so we have decide to fine somthing else.

Oh I'm a voucher from way back...Danny and Jay made my daughter happy for her graduation, I don't see why he couldn't fit the bill for your son.
Good luck hunting. My daughter would email me car adds from autotrader and the like for weeks before we talked to Danny and Jay, then since I was signing the check, it was my choice...she loves her car and I'm pretty happy with the deal I got.

That sounds like a great deal I will have to check and see what insurance will look like. We are still waiting to here back from the police dept to see if they charged my son with the accident. Thanks for the post I will keep you in mind.

Post or Pre recall? I heard the exploding gas tank in the pre recall model really ups the resale value on those puppies.

What year is the Kia?

[Boozer]

What year is the Kia?
Who cares?? Don't buy a Kia. PERIOD. They are cheap for good reason.
2 of my relatives have owned Kia's and both cars spent more time getting warranty work done then they did getting time on the road.

[Terminal Velocity]

I've got a 99 intrepid ES 3.2L pwr everything with 37K miles, gets anywhere from 24-30 miles per gallon. New goodyear assurance tires (8 months old maybe 5K miles), and a new battery, week old for $10.5K obo.

My buddys a fire captain and he told me that KIA stood for Killed in Accident.

Airbags everywhere you look, I think there is like 6 in this car. Good shape, everything works runs like a top. $9500 obo.

Words of advise.
Call your insurance agent with a list of cars that you are considering befor3e you make a purchase.
I unfortunately made alot of partents cry when I gave them there rate for young drivers on cars you thought would be cheap to insure.
FYI - Ford Explorers are typically very cheap to insure.(Blazers,Monteros,pathfinders are much more exspensive to insure)
Stay away from anything that is convertible or considered a pony car or sports car.(Camaro,Mustang,Integra's,eclipse,etc...)
basicly anything that your son really likes will be really spensive.
I personally would look into a 96-98 full size chevy/GM regular cab pick-up with the 4.3 V6.(Good to insure,cheap to buy and not too terrible on the eyes with some wheels and misc. stuff)
Good luck!
