This was the third time the woman said her Kia was stolen from outside her home since 2019.

MILWAUKEE (CNN) - A woman in Milwaukee says her Kia has been stolen three times, even after she installed a free security upgrade meant to prevent this crime from happening.

        Not great. Mine is in good shape (just had its first repair, ignition coils), and its worth is $4k on Kelly blue book.

        I would love to pitch it, just for the driving experience (only car I’ve ever had that feels unsafe), but all the depreciation that can happen already has. It would be stupid to sell it now, I’d be throwing away thousands.

          So are you going to sell it when the price falls even more? Or wait until it becomes vintage?

            I’ve essentially already paid depreciation, so I’m going to drive it until the wheels fall off and sell it for scrap.

            Unfortunately, it is a soul, so it is absolutely not going to become vintage lol.

        If it’s not an econobox, then you’ll still get blue book for it anyway, despite being a Kia. Genesis Coupes are still going for about for $15K, for example.
