Advices On A Kia Soul by dBard: 7:41am On Aug 19, 2015
Good morning y'all.
Recently sold off my Honda crv n came across a fairly used kia with <100km on it..in quite a good condition, initially bought brand nu..for d missus.
I've checked up on d car, reviews, ratings n it's bin given props all round, thing is , I keep getting told off by mechanics on account of cost of parts etc.
Gotten me a bit edgy.
Can anyone with an experience owning one/ d car experts advise truly.
Will be so so grateful.

even if it is 100,000km it is still ok for that car. with that miles, the car may not even be upto 10yrs old

That's rather subjective

only new cars don't have headache, if I were in your shoes, after confirming body intact and engine still solid, I will buy the car and do a comprehensive maintenance on it
1. engine oil and filter chane
2. gear oil change using recommended and coolant change
3. power stEering and brake fluid change if it won't cost a harm and leg
4. get 4 brand new tyres and one good one out of the ones met for spare.
optional
5. shock and spring changing
6. brake pad change
7. New badass rims

if you able to do this, in 3yrs time, the car won't give you headache.
