What is a 2005 Kia Amanti’s life expectancy?
I own a 2005 Kia Amanti and she’s running great—I’m just wondering if I should expect her to die on me any time soon. What’s the life expectancy of a 2005 Kia Amanti?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The average American drives around 14,000 miles a year, which means the Amanti can live to be 14+ years old!
However, regular maintenance is essential—even if it seems like a major investment. The estimated annual cost to maintain and repair a Kia Amanti ranges from $95 to $1797, with an average of $281 per year.
In order to extend a vehicle’s life, car experts recommend consulting your owner’s manual and creating an appropriate maintenance schedule for the following services:
- Oil and filter change
- Tire rotation
- Wiper blade replacement
- Engine and cabin air filter change
- Wheel alignment
- Brake fluid exchange
- Spark plugreplacement
In general, each of these items should be completed at least once every 30,000 miles—however, you’ll find that certain vehicle components wear out faster, such as the tires and engine. Thus, oil changes and tire rotations are two items that should be done quite regularly.
Finally, even if your state doesn’t require annual vehicle inspections, it’s a good idea to have your automobile thoroughly checked out by a professional at least once a year.
