Used 2003 Kia Spectra for Sale

I got my car for $3,500 after difficulties with my first car, a 1990 Cutlass Ciera SL. The first day I had it, there were issues with the engine, something about a bad coil, but it was covered under the very limited used car warranty from the dealership. Overall, from the very first, there were no major issues AND the car has air conditioning, which is a huge improvement from my last vehicle. It is a quick, sturdy little car with good gas mileage and it seems well built for the cheaper model that it is. I have had the car for almost 4 years now and nothing else has gone wrong with it except one hiccup with a bad spark plug, but there isn't anything wrong with the car. I like how the car performs on long drives; it's comfortable and easy to drive. It's easy on gas and it's nice to look at, even though it's nothing fancy. It's remarkably durable for a smaller car, as it's gone through a side-swiping and a rear-ending with only needing to have the bumper replaced twice; no mechanical issues after the accidents! The only thing I dislike about the car at all are the motor mounts; the car vibrates with the air on, especially at idle, and even when you change them, the issue comes back, so it's just an unfortunate feature of the vehicle.

I bought this car initially for a commuter car. I lived 45 minutes away from work and needed something that was reliable and fuel efficient. Over time I had two kids and while it's tight on space, it provided a safe and reliable way to transport my kids and commute. It's easy to drive and easy to maintain. It's not top of the line in comfort or durability but it's extremely fuel efficient and will get you where you need to go. It handles surprisingly well in bad weather conditions too. I live in an area with major snow fall and it's never gotten stuck or failed to get me down my long winding gravel road. I've also taken it out some really gnarly Forest Service roads and it's never ever failed me, even in crazy road conditions. I have the hatchback version and it's got so much space in the trunk it's not even funny. True story, I once had to transport a Turkey 2 hours away and all I had was my Kia Spectra. I laid down tarps in the truck and my full grown Tom Turkey rode in the truck, gobbling at every car that passed, happy as a clam.
