| I am not a car person so am hoping someone here might have advice. I have a leased 2018 Kia Soul that is in immaculate condition with less than 20,000 miles on it. The dealer has called me several times wanting me to trade it in for new vehicle but I do not need or want another vehicle. What is the best way to get the most money for this vehicle? Should I buy it and then sell it? |

KIAs used to have awful resell value 15-20 yrs. ago.
However now with the chaotic car market it may make sense to purchase, then sell. Anyone on here would purchase a used Kia? |

| Check out Carmax, Vroom and Carvana. Some will even come to your house and pick up your car. You can handle much of the process online. They probably will offer more than the dealer - dealers just have an email list they blast with requests like that. |

Your contract should give you an indication of what price you would pay and then check Kelly Blue book or Carmax to see what you could get for it. Used cars are currently over priced. My guess is that if like the car just buy it for the contract value and drive it for another 5+ years. |

Yes, my daughter has a 2012 Kia Soul and she loves it. It's been very low maintenance and repair. She bought an extended warranty and never used it. |

| Just sold a car. Carvana paid about 18000. Carmax offered 13000. Shop around. |
