New vs used (Kia Sorento)

I would much rather do the latter. Depends how long you can wait as well, because I bet the prices on used vehicles will trend downwards as dealerships have excess inventory sitting on their lots. I've always been a 2-3 years old vs new buyer, so I am a bit biased, but from a purely financial standpoint the latter makes way more sense, and you have a good chunk of the original warranty left to take advantage of.

You'd also have to factor in the extras that you mentioned, as those could easily add up to $1000+ if you had to buy them yourself.

I am also in the exact same market for the exact same vehicle, so I've been watching the prices myself and debating different strategies as well.

Thanks, we also are more inclined to go for the Option B. I just saw 2021 Sorento pictures....it looks great. No point of getting a 2020 and paying for 6 years when the newer one will loolks that much better !

Anyone else have an opinion on that ?

Well I am in the same situation. 2017 Sorento SX for 25 000 or get the a new basic one for 32000 I think I will go with the 17

Someone said in the Hyundai/ Kia hot deals forum about doing the same thing with option B. I think that's brilliant. Because they have a 5 year warranty and the car depreciate more then any other car manufacturer it only makes sense going that direction. You get a 3 year old the top of the line car within 50k km, 2 years warranty left, put it on your Heloc and pay it off in 36 months.
