You also have to EXPECT to pay more for upkeep, insurance, and maintainance on a BMW than you will on a Kia. So, you look in your pocket, and if you only have enough to buy the Kia, and you can afford the upkeep and insurance and gas, dont even look at the other dealership. It isnt that the others are over priced, or not worth the price, it is just something that does not fit YOUR lifestyle....nothing wrong with that. Dont even go there. You have to know the reputation of the dealership though. Then you will have an idea if your looking at a valuable product, with a fair asking price. I have had people tell me the bought their last Yorkie for $600.00, 16 years ago....why do they cost so much now...DUH???????

Most likely due to inflation as everything in general costs more now than it did 20 years ago. I was going to buy one for 250.00 back in 1990 in CT. I should have bought it!! The poor little thing would have passed away by now anyway.
