The Kia Amanti is one of the best kept secrets in the US marketplace. For whatever reason, Kia does not promote the vehicle but it is extremely competitive in its class with all of the common convenience items and features of more expensive cars. The best news is that Kia's product quality has improved dramatically over the last 5 years and the 2005/2006 is a very reliable vehicle according to J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study.

The Kia vehicles are, as a rule heavier and have less power/torque in their engines so they use a little more gas and don't rocket off the line but the savings in the price of the vehicle more than offsets those considerations.

On the newer Kia's the unfavorable exchange rate of the Korean won to the US dollar makes them a bit more pricey than they were back in 2005 so relevant to their competition as new 2007 vehicles they've lost some of their price advantage. If you're looking at a used Amati, then that is not a consideration.

As with anything, value is a function of what you pay for the car versus what you get. I recommend going to kelly blue book www.kbb.com to get a realistic value for the used car with the mileage and options you're looking at. If it looks to be a fair price then I would recommend you pay a mechanic to check it out independent of the seller to make sure it doesn't have any problems before you buy it.

hope that answers your question
