Bought new car, traded in one of my [2] vehicles

[win-star]

Hi Everyone!!!

I haven't been on here much and been busy with work life and stuff.

So yesterday, I traded in my 2013 Kia Optima for a 2015 Camry XLE V6 in Blizzard Pearl. Will be picking it up Sept. 25th 2015 I am excited [on my part lol]

I chose the '15 because it had the $2,500 cash incentive or 0% finance [12, 24 and 36 months]

Also, I am hoping to keep this car longer, so the '16 won't matter to me for future depreciation.

I still have my 2010 Toyota Corolla CE around, not driven much. But will turn this Corolla back to my Daily Driver.

I will turn my Lexus look-a-like into a garage queen and/or weekend vehicle

From my '10 Corolla [April 2010] to '13 Optima [January 2, 2013] is about 2 years 8 months

From my '13 Optima [Jan. 2, 2013] to '15 Camry [Sept. 18, 2015] is about 2 years 9 months different.

I can see a pattern going for me ... I can't keep a car for more than 3 years and I keep buying NEW!!!

You may wish to consider "leasing" if you are upgrading your vehicles so frequently.

A friend was looking at a 2015 Optima... why the switch to the Camry? Did you have issues with Kia?

Nothing wrong with changing vehicles every three years if you can afford it. Congrats.

Some people change spouses in the same manner. After years of the same things, you get bored of the same old tricks

I am also curious about the Kia -- @win-star , were there problems with the Kia? Thx.

I personally find the lease is slightly more expensive if purchase than sell after.

I've chosen the Camry because I kinda like the new redesign or how it looks ... like a Lexus [to me].

I;ve also Checked out the Fusion and Malibu. One of my brother has the 2014 Fusion ... so I didn't go for it and the mailibu ... I didn't like the interior design but liked the driving feel.

My Kia no problem at all [Read responds below]

I've owned it from new [First and only owner] .... No problems at all with my kia, All I've only done in my 2 years 9 months is oil changes and basic maintenance. I've "kinda" abused it [Just flooring the gas pedal]

Currently just came home from work and have exactly 45,018 km in the odometer and the engine sounds and runs like new!!! especially how I drive it [Flooring the car as much as possible]

I have no regrets on the Kia Optima but I get bored of my things easily and wanted something else. I would buy and/or consider another Kia if I were to look for another vehicle

I don't treat my spouse [my case my girlfriend(s)] like things/items where it's easily change able. But things do happen in relationships that both sides can't control ... He me saying this and I don't currently have a GF!!
