Used k900 vs Stinger lease

[David]

Would you rather pay 32k for a 10-15k mile fully loaded v8 k900, or a lease on the Kia stinger (450/month I am assuming).

Those are two VERY different cars. The K900 is not the type of vehicle I am looking for.

But as far as amenities vs. price goes, you probably can't beat a used K900. Just remember that the 100K/10 year warranty is gone once you the vehicle changes hands to a second owner.

I agree with Bamm1. The k900 is not about being an all-in-one grand tourer, it's purely a luxury car intended to go up against the E-Class, A7, 5-series, etc. The Stinger is more comparable to the A4, Giulia, and C-Class.

Also in my opinion, the Stinger outclasses the k900 in looks by leagues, and that's definitely an important part of a car for me.

Stinger because it looks way cooler.

Stinger based on looks, type of vehicle, and most definitely the warranty.

I guess if you're looking to save money sure, you can always flip the k900 in two years and pick up a slightly used Stinger. However I doubt most of us signed up for Stinger message boards months preceding it's actual release because we were keen on waiting another two years to get one.

 

[Alan]

I'm guessing I'm less eager than most on the board. I'm about a year out from pulling the trigger. I'm still looking at new and eagerly the thoughts from people on the board once they have their Stingers.

Yeah but I'm just worried about the repair costs with the k900 as well. Each headlight is 3,500.
