The Kia Soul was recently chosen as one of the six Best Car Deals Under $15,000 in the March edition of "Reader's Digest." This unique vehicle has been turning heads since it first appeared on the market back in 2009, as it not only has a fresh, boxy design, but also comes standard with state-of-the-art technology like Bluetooth connectivity and USB connections for nearly any handheld device. Plus, a brand-new model starts at $14,400, making it an affordable option whether new or used.

"The Soul is the vehicle that sparked Kia's design led transformation back in 2009, and it has been a runaway hit ever since," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing and communications for Kia Motors America. "Inclusion in the 'Reader's Digest' list is another great honor for Kia, recognizing our funky, urban passenger vehicle's winning combination of technology and value. It's gratifying that the vehicle that jump-started our unprecedented growth continues to resonate so well."

Kelley Blue Book indicates a 2010 Kia Soul in excellent condition has a retail value of about $11,400, making it easy for drivers to save money and still get behind the wheel of a fun vehicle. Plus, purchasing a used car has other advantages, as the value will decrease far slower than that of a new model. This means, drivers will get a larger return on their investment when they trade in the car.

Car shoppers who want to drive something a bit more unconventional and modern can find used cars like the Kia Soul at NJ State Auto Auction. The dealer has a wide selection of makes and models from which drivers to choose, making it easy to find an affordable and stylish ride.
