Other minivans besides the Kia Carnival don’t qualify for Comfort on Uber. Do you think this situation will stay the same going forward?
Right now, it looks like the Kia Carnival is the best option for Uber.
The vehicle was traded in at a dealership. There are no repair records at all on the Carfax report. During the test drive, the engine felt healthy — it accelerated very smoothly up to 100 mph, there was no vibration in the steering wheel, and the transmission shifts were very smooth as well. I did not notice any oil leaks from the engine. The only issue was that the steering wheel was not perfectly straight, but I think that can probably be fixed with an alignment. At first glance, the suspension also seemed normal.
However, assuming that I will drive around 50–60k miles per year, what kinds of problems could I run into with this vehicle? Also, what maintenance would you recommend doing immediately after purchasing it?
