Hey all, here from NS.

[6stringgg]

Thanks for the add! I'm looking to buy a Stinger and here to learn about them.

Thanks for the add! I'm looking to buy a Stinger and here to learn about them.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us. What might the Stinger be replacing for you?

Welcome to the group, nice to see fellow Canadian. You won’t be sorry buying the stinger, a few things you should think about when you’re shopping. Try and find one under 100,000 KM. You can then get a decent KIA warranty. Look around. Make sure the maintenance records are up to date and that the safety recalls wave been done. I believe there are only 2 remaining recalls in Canada. Good luck in your search and keep in touch, this group is very active when it comes to helping you out with any questions you may have.

I’m currently driving a 2015 Cadillac ATS 2.0T. Fun quick car but a bit small for me.

Thanks kindly for the info. I’m looking at a 2023 GT Elite with 646 kms, pretty much like new. A bit pricier than what I hoped to spend but it is like new. There is also a 2022 Scorpion available with 32,000 km. Expensive too.

When you say expensive, I’m thinking you are talking 45 to 55 expensive. You should be able to find a good used one for under 35,000. That one with 646 km sounds interesting. I wouldn’t pay any more that 45 for it though. You have a lot of choices back east. I have a 19 GT2 Ultimate and I paid 26k in BC. When I bought it, it had 46000 on it. Still like new to me. I’m in the process of modding it now.

Once you launch that twin turbo to blow past 0 - 60 in under 4 seconds, you’ll be hooked.

Typo? Under 5 seconds. Don't get his hopes up like that. Ha hah.

I am in Ottawa.
I have a 2023 GT Elite, with only 6,800 Kms on it. I bought it new. Not winter driven.
I am truly surprised that there is one out there with only 646Kms. If that is not a misprint, I would jump on that in a heartbeat.

Yes, not a typo. Sat at 2 dealerships for 2 years, used car dealer likely got it from the auction.

How is that even possible? Sat for 2 years? Then went to auction? Something doesn't smell right.

Apparently it was at a Kia dealer in NL and didn't sell, then was sent the same owners Toyota dealership in Sydney NS and didn't sell. I'm guessing on the auction...the guy who has it now may have known them or something else...pure speculation on that.

What part of Canadian don’t you understand, we can’t afford to shop at your store. Window shopping is cool wish lists are nice. But with things the way they are, we are kind of forced to go elsewhere for our car parts. I was going to order from you a while back but it was cheaper to right to Burger for my stuff.
