New to Stingers, shopping for one and learning

[Brainblasta]

Hey guys, New to Stinger forum. I’m shopping around for one so I’m trying to learn more about them so I don’t get into a piece of junk or someone else’s failed project.

get a kia cpo and you'll inherit the full warranty. kia won't rate a car as cpo if modifications have compromised it.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. What might the Stinger be replacing for you?

Welcome, lots of great info here in the forums

Look for
Unmodified
Warranty if possible
Gt1 spec (in my opinion best stinger)
Red seats (its nice trust me)
Big ol sunroof
2019+ if you want heared rear seats and cooled fronts on most models (2018 it was just gt2)

Replace spark plugs with better ones (forum)
Get an oil catch can for the passenger side at least
enjoy the drive

And drive it hard but not stupid

This. I had to look far away to find one with the spec i wanted that was CPO, but it was totally worth it for the piece of mind and my ownership had been trouble free so far. Even a cursory read through the forum shows many people mod their stinger. So as a buyer, you need to be cautious.
