    Since I need to get my post count up, here's my experiences so far. The first thing that I learned about this car is that it may have been hit at one point. While repairing a headlight wiring problem, I discovered that there are two different headlight assemblies in her car. One has a...

    Looking into purchasing an 2008 Kia Optima LX. The car has 28k and is going for $11,600 after tax, trade-in, etc (will be less if I sell my old car on my own).

    I have checked the manual repeatedly and can only find one item that might be related to CC. ADJPED (adjustable pedel relay). Is this related to Cruise Control? I will double check my tail lights, etc. since that seems to be one possible item that could kill CC. It won't come on at all. I hope...

    Just got a 2008 LX today, was wondering if I can burn CD-Rs as data and play them in the stereo…(can fit 700MB, or around 100 songs, versus 80 minutes, or around 20 songs this way). Just wondering if someone knew for sure before I burn a CD and then wind up having to just throw it away maybe...
