Making the minimum payments for three years on a new car is going to make trade-in time painful when you are ready for your next one. Honestly, that is true for most cars...not just the Mirage. The first three years are when depreciation is highest and your equity is lowest. There really isn't any way around it. Hell, I have seen a few late-model used Mirages advertised on my local Craigslist for upwards of $20,000 by people looking to pawn their negative equity off on somebody else!:confused:
Spend some money and have the car detailed professionally. Then shop it around. Otherwise, you are going to have to decide if that new Kia is worth the extra $2,000 rollover. Who knows? Once you have it detailed that Kia may not look so nice anymore!
