2003 Kia Spectra LS review
An excellent little car
I bought a 2003 Spectra GS model for a three hundred bucks as an intended daily. The cylinder head needed rebuilt as the original timing belt failed at 183,000 miles. Upon disassembly, the inside of the engine was noticeably very clean and in extremely good shape. The outside of the car is rough, due to living a relatively abysmal life in the great American rust belt. The interior is in really good shape, and all of the manual controls (windows, mirrors, door locks) all function like new. The car drives great and runs great, and my only complaint is the lack of parts availability, as I find myself rebuilding the suspension on the entire car at 200,000 miles. Trailing arms are hard to come across, and steering knuckles/spindles are almost impossible. Nonetheless, it's an excellent and fun car to drive, with the 4 door hatchback layout allowing quite a lot of interior room

I bought 2011 Honda Pilot in 2016 and 2010 Chevrolet
I bought 2011 Honda Pilot in 2016 and 2010 Chevrolet Suburban in 2024. Both transactions went well. Honest and easy to deal with. They were very upfront on the defects on the vehicles.
2003 Kia Spectra Base review
Drove it off the lot in 2003
I bought this car at the dealership in March 2003 it was brand new. It is now August 2020 it has over 210,000 miles on it and still runs decent. Though I still work for the same company I switch location several times so the car has either traveled short distances of 12 miles round trip or has gone as far as 100 miles round trip 5 or 6 days a week. Highway and stop and go traffic. It hasn't been garage kept so it is a little rusty especially in the rocker panels. I've changed my oil religiously at every 3000 miles. No major issues with the car. If I could get another brand new 2003 kia spectra I'd buy it. I don't know how long this car will last but I'm going to drive it until the wheels fall off.
