HELP - KIA or Chevy Lumina

I recently inherited a 1995 Chevy Lumina with 37,000 miles on it. It
is fully paid for. I currently own a 2001 KIA Spectra GS and has
17,000 miles on it. I owe $7200.00 on it. The Lumina has a 3.1, fully
loaded and is clean. The KIA is still like new.

My question is, should I sell the KIA and keep the Lumina or vice
versa ?

Any input would be helpful.

Hmm. Hard to say. If you're in a rust-prone area of the country, you
might want to go with the car with fewer winters on it. Having fewer
miles is also nice. On the other hand, can you get enough out of the
Kia to pay it off? If not, that might answer your question. Don't know
about relative durability of the two cars.
