I was pleasantly suprised by the Soul,a little more to it than i expected to be honest.

sorta peppy for a 1.6 liter & the 6 speed stick is fun.plenty of passenger room too.

i got the base cheaper version for the lower price,but the higher end models really have some serious goodies available,lots of options if youve got the $.

basically an efficient, fun car that helps me preserve my dakota for "quality time"

I was doin some cabling at a body shop here, and they had one of these come in, with some very minor fixes, except it also need a whole new interior. The one in it was wreck with throw-up, even after a heavy detailing, only had 8000km on it, Smelled HORRIBLE

i had the impression you really loved the dakota, but i can understand wanting to sell as well.

fwiw, i just noticed your location.i drove down to WS to Bob King to buy the kia.

if youre in the market try the bk kia location , ask for bullfrog.

seriously, dudes name is jeremiah, they call him bull frog.
tell him scotty that he sold the soul to on may 18 sent you.

as you probably know , they do new,used etc.
they were nice to us, & i drove nearly 2 hours for the better deal.
The Dak. Unfortunately it's becoming a matter of economics. The Dakota is costing me over $400 a month just sitting there (payment and insurance), add another $300+ if I drive it for gas each month. I've had my run with it. I'm just going to see if there is any interest. If I can't get what I need out of it, I won't sell it, but I've seen similar models going for $15k and up around here.

i can understand that jkeaton.

if youre not using a truck for a truck like towing,hauling,hunting etc. it does get hard to justify the cost,especially if its not a daily driver.

but if it is the daily ride, gas costs out the butt to drive.sort of the proverbial "rock & a hard place"

& reject..somebody puked in the soul interior & ruined it?

wow...mustve been some serious vomit....the gift that keeps on giving,lol,epsecially on hot days,yuk.
