SOALAN:

Hello mr eddie,
Im seriously considering buying a 2007 to 2009 kia spectra as the price is somewhat the same or even cheaper than the new iphone. Hence the idea of getting a car than a phone is rather intriguing to me.

Obviously due to the nature of the car is already old and what not, definitely there are a lot of repairs to be made.

Question is, is it really worth it?

JAWAPAN:

When a phone is more expensive than the car then it's either
1) The phone is way overpriced
2) There is something seriously wrong with this car

Since I am no expert with the phone industry, we will just go for the second option.

Having sold Kia Spectra before at our dealership many years ago, there are several issues associated with Kia Spectra.

The first issue that I noticed is the Dashboard that can drop on its own if it is exposed to the sunlight long enough especially if you don't park in the car under the shade.

Secondly, the parts for most Korean cars are more costly than a Japanese or local cars. So need to be prepared to pay higher.

Thirdly, reliability of the car is questionable. Unless the previous users for the vehicle is extremely delicate such that he/she changes the engine oil/gear oil/radiator fluid at predetermined time, this vehicle will not be able to tolerate lazy users.

Finally, users of Kia Spectra has reported higher fuel usages as compared to its peers.
