Just some thoughts from 22 years retail automotive (retired)

-Not KIA or Jeep.

-pretty much anything new will be a reliability disappointment so you’ll want a lot of warranty…

-Owning vs leasing used to be a no brainer, but now I only lease so I’m always under warranty and I just get a new vehicle every 3 years. 😕

The days of buying a new car and driving it for 10 years are long gone. Everything is filled with cheap electronics that fail frequently and buying an older car without them is near impossible anymore.
