Ok, not appreciating but the market is doing a heavy readjustment into the positives because a s you hit rock bottom, you can either bounce back or go splat. Depreciation works this way and thankfully the Kia Amanti has a little spring in its breeze.
It’s Pandemonium 2018 in the Kia Amanti market! Now that the older cars are w i thout value, people are free to mark them high and let them fall again until they find their new market and value.
My personal Amanti is a 2006 with 107,000 miles and can turn corduroys from 8-wale to 16-wale because it knows about the finer things, kin. This working, running, creakless, leakless, reekless Amanti has a value so low that Progressive will total the car if I lock the keys in it.
I purchased this car nearly five years ago at $7,500 and honestly would spend the exact same amount on it today! But had I sold it myself just 6 months ago, I would have been lucky to get $3,000 at the top end . Now, I’d be able to list it for $6,000.
Hey, don’t act like the potential for hundreds and thousands of dollars isn’t real money to be excited over ! Cars are expensive even when they are cheap, kin.

Yeah, but your car doesn’t have any sunroof, let alone a prominent one:
A remarkably spacious interior lets you travel in total comfort, while you enjoy such high-end standard features as multi-zone climate control, heated front seats, a prominent sunroof, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, key-less entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more!
though if you ask me it looks pretty normal:

Got to love the bottom of the depreciation curve. You also got to love the Amanti. They’re a very clean design imo.
This is also the prime time of you can sell for more money with better pictures. $1,000 amanti with thumbs in the pics could easily be a $3,000 car with some cleaning and proper pics.

As king prices and transaction prices are two different things.

It’s lovely. This is well written and I appreciate the love for the Amanti.
I don’t think i would spend $6k on one. And I’m damn sure that if I did, my wife would slap me right across the face

Always thought these were the perfect car for people who really love the look of the Jaguar Stipe (and I'm one of them), but would prefer to have a car that spends more time running and driving than in the shop for repair.
