Three months ago, the transmission blew on our second car so rather than fix it we went on the hunt to get a new car. I’ve always bought a used car (with one exception – I leased a new Mercedes about 12 years ago) because of the depreciation on new cars. I tried to get away from minvans but with 4 active boys, it was pretty much inevitable. We are now owners of a loaded Kia Sedona and I am going to share my buying experience in a future post. With the recent weather, I am very thankful it came with an extra set of rims and snow tires.
