I am thinking about purchasing a 2002 kia optima with 104,000 miles for 2500.....

...Should I? I only have about 2700 to spend. I am not to worried about resale. I just need something to finish school with me I have about 7 months left and I drive about 25 miles everyday. I also can't get anything extreme considering I need to get sr22.. I drove the car everything sounds and runs great. It is a V6 and I don't really have a lot of money to spend on gas, the guy said it will get about 24 city.. The only things around my area turning up for sale have 150,000 plus miles or have had new engines or gaskets put it.... HELP ANYONE.. Is this going to be a waste buying the kia???

For $2500 it is ok but otherwise I think You can do better than that, your choice.

that's not a bad price at all for that car and that's not a lot of miles for it to have on it, those cars do hold up very well other wise why would they put a ten year 100k warranty on them,if you can get it for that that's a good price,just be sure and have someone look it over real good for you before you buy it to make sure it doesn't have any hidden problems,good luck and happy holidays,
