In reply to the discussion: I went car hunting today [View all]Marthe48
(22,229 posts)35. I called and the salesman I worked with
        told me on the phone models at that price weren't available. I cheched the reviews for that dealer, and they were mostly favorable. I went over to see a 2023 Kia Soul with 17,000 miles on it.  He said I could get $4000.00 min for a trade, and get the remainder of the 10yr/100k warranty. I told him when I met him, I was there because of the radio, and he showed me vehicles in the range. My daughter was with me, and she was trying to talk me into a Sportster. lol 
That dealer will get a 2024 Kia in on June 29th that I'm supposed to go look at.  
I have to start somewhere 
  It isn't urgent and knock wood, my Prius is doing fine. 
Thanks!
