Default How much would you pay for "Premium" (trim level)?

So we're looking at two "new" Ceratos.
One is base model, other is "Premium" which IIRC is their 2nd of 4 trim levels.
It's basically $3k more.
Apart form the usual random stuff, line chrome handles, leather steering wheel, etc, the major bits that it has are as follows:
  • Reversing Camera. The base model does not have a screen, so its no simple matter to fit a camera. Its for a daughter, so she needs all the help she can get.
  • Alloy Wheels. Base model has crappy black steels, and dodgy plastic covers.
  • Sat Nav. Personally, I prefer to just know where I'm going, but it seems the modern generation can't live without this.
  • Automatic Headlights. Again, to me I'm not sure why its so hard for people to switch their lights on in storms or gloom, but this is probably a good feature.

I'd pay the $3k.
Steel wheels are pox.
Reverse camera is ace.
Auto headlights are quite good.
Sat Nav is probably great for new drivers.
Where I work is also a Kia dealer. They are generally really good. We don't see many faults at all.

I'd get the highest trim level you can afford. Ultimately it will cost you less over the long run as you will enjoy and love the car more and therefore keep it longer and look after it better.

A brand new car is too much of an emotional decision to go all sensible at the last moment.

None of it is necessary, but reverse camera and satnav is quite handy. Having it built in means she's less likely to be fiddling with her phone, which can be dangerous.

Auto headlights are great. And yes, you can still turn them on when it's rainy or a bit gloomy, because chances are they haven't turned on.
