Soul residuals

i have no idea to be honest. Kia are controlling supply and demand to keep the residuals strong - but whether it works i dont yet know.... i would hope so.

No matter what car you drive, the dealers will look down their noses at it to offer you as little as they can get away with.

I also look at it that if i go buy any other car second hand i have a 3month warranty, but if i go buy a well looked after Kia, i still have 4 YEARS warranty. This is why it is so utterly important to make sure you have a full service warranty

Yes the warranty is transferable, have a look at the new Optima and see what Kia are doing with their new cars. It looks fantastic in the tin, the pictures do not do it justice and if this the way its going. the new Ce-ed wow, then with all these improvements we should gain the halo effect on our Souls.

Traditionally Kia's don't have very strong residuals in the UK. However, given that the more recent models have come on leaps and bounds over Kia's of old they are growing in popularity and are a serious consideration when looking at a new car.

I for one am a convert, who is willing to give Kia a try. The 7 year warranty is a major draw for me as I plan to keep the car for at least 4 - 6 years.... if it lasts (and it should do!!)

I am also willing to gamble that Kia's residuals will start to improve as they become more accepted as a serious brand. Couple that with the transferable 7 year warranty and they have a distinct advantage over many other used cars - this will surely bolster residuals.
