I remember around Sept 2020 , these were great deals if one needed a car during COVID lockdown. One local Kia dealership was offering these for as low as $17K new (2020 year, LX model) in order to move inventory out while the then new K5 was coming in. I agree that deals like these don't exist anymore. There was a recall on these models (key ignition) in which the ignition software needed to be updated to prevent theft.

Holy crap that was a deal. I totally forgot about that
