2011 Kia soul a decent car?

That generation of pre-DI HyunKia engines was pretty bullet proof. Things got worse in the mid-teens.

Had a 2011 Soul with the manual. I liked it and no issues. Use to tow a small dirt bike trailer with it. Surprisingly roomy also.

I have come across a one owner 2011 Kia soul with around 112k miles. It has the beta ll engine and 4 speed transmission. On paper it has been meticulously maintained. Oil changes every 3 to 6k miles and it has had the transmission fluid changed twice. The timing belt was changed within the last 40k miles.
They are asking 5000$ at a dealership but it is 3 and a half hours away.
Something to consider or not worth it?

Can you drive a stick shift? If you can. I got an even better vehicle just a couple of days ago. It's a 2012 model with only 28,000 mi on it. I'm going to be selling that one for $ $6,990.

My dealership is in the outskirts of Atlanta and I can ship it for about a third of what it would normally cost you. If you're interested, let me know.

Also, the 2010 to 2013 models of the Kia soul are perfectly fine. However, they are very sensitive to a solid oil change regimen and there are several recalls that you should get done at the Kia dealership. Chances are that whatever you get will need them, but they'll be absolutely free.

Unfortunately l did not learn and l am an old dog teaching me tricks at this age is a challenge.

I have the Betta II engine in my 2010 Elantra. Extremely durable engine.
