2006 KIA Amanti

2006 Kia Amanti - 88,500 miles. 100% perfect mechanical and electrical, very good cosmetic inside and out for 20 years old. $4,500 OBO. Let's address the elephant in the room: you've never heard of an Amanti. That's fine. Neither had most people in 2006, which is exactly why this thing was a steal then and an even better one now. Kia decided to build a full-size luxury sedan to compete with Mercedes. They gave it a 3.5L V6, a long wheelbase, a soft ride, and a leather interior, then charged about half what the German competition wanted. The car magazines didn't know what to do with it. People who actually sat in one tended to walk out with the keys. Mercedes amenities, Mercedes ride, Kia money. What's in it: - 3.5L V6, 5-speed automatic - Sunroof, one-touch open and close - Heated leather seats, 5 heat levels - Power seats, driver and passenger, with lumbar support - Dual-zone automatic climate control - Wood grain dash and console, leather wheel and shift knob - One-touch up/down on all four windows - Steering wheel audio and cruise controls - 16 inch alloy wheels, full-size spare - Front and rear side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, active front headrests - A trunk that could relocate a small apartment - Rear legroom that makes tall passengers ask what you're driving - Premium audio Upgrades: - Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth for calls and wireless audio - Backup camera - Add-on CarPlay/Android Auto screen Condition: Mechanically 100%. No issues, no check engine light, nothing on the dash. Drives like a dream. Cosmetically very good for 20 years old. Outside: some dings, scuffs, scratches, a few paint chips. Inside: leather and trim show honest wear. I'm the 2nd owner and bought it about 7 months ago. Selling because I'm leaving the country, otherwise I would have kept this for another 10 years. Clean title. Bring a mechanic if you want one. San Diego.
