IMHO once you get the "KIA", it won't be able to hold its value down the line since it's not that sought after like the Lexus.

Kia????? Really??? Is this a serious question? Its like trading a dollar bill for a twenty five cent coin.....i mean, if the lexus payment is too much for you then yeah, trade away, but if you don't have an issue with the payment, or issue with reliability, then i see no point......

working for a dealership that "buy back event" is just another way of saying, "yea ill give you $4000 more for your car, but mine will also be $4000 more expensive".. dont fall for it

Which Kia would you even get?

Kia and Lexus seems day and night to me lol. Totally random.
But if you got a Lexus in the first place, payments shouldn't be that much of a problem (if you thought it through before buying it) unless your situation has changed.

If serious, good luck. Only you know your situation.

I just spoke to a guy few months back regarding Kia giving away gifts to people to just come and test drive their cars in the showroom. And he told me one of his friends bought a Kia , not sure which one but it was brand new and it broke down in the middle of the road after 3 days.

Hope this helps you in your decision. Cheers

Can you trade it in for cash without buying a Kia?
