Buy new car or keep old?

[Anonymous]

My 2016 Nissan Rogue is paid off. It runs well and is reliable. It has just over 100000 miles and I’m thinking of trading it in for a Kia Seltos. I feel like if I keep it, the window where I can get a good trade in value will close quickly. On the other hand, it’s a lot of money for a new car.

Keep it.

It runs well and is reliable. Why trade in for a Kia?

Because the Kia is rated better than the rogue for everything and has an amazing warranty.

But the Nissan is fine and paid off.

Right now used cars are getting a premium. I would lean towards trading it in.

Here's what I'm looking for in order of importance:
1. under $30,000
2. MPG (ideally hybrid, but if not, good mileage)
3. Excellent warranty. Kia has an amazing warranty.
4. Cargo room of at least 60 cf

Less important but nice
5. non-cloth seats
6. Sunroof

After having test driven 2 kias, I wasn't impressed. Maybe the Sorrento would do the trick but I'm doubtful.

Sure, trade-in and buy new if you WANT a new car but please avoid Kia or Hyundai and go with a more reliable brand like Toyota. Kia and Hyundai are known to have a ton of issues and just don't last very long.

This sounds like it is from the 80's or 90's and is absolutely no longer true whatsoever.

I have a 2014 Acura with 120,000 miles and I've been wondering if it's time to get a new one or just keep enjoying the lack of car payments. Knock on wood but I haven't had any major repairs in the last seven years.

Keep it. I miss my old car and the money I had to spend on it, and then came the pandemic and I drove nowhere.
Seems like you just want to buy it because you will be buying a new soon anyhow. Why not postpone buying each new car 3 years and it will cut down on cars you would buy over your lifetime. You should be buying bitcoin and not a new car.
