2002 Kia Sedona Ex Mini Passenger Van 5-door 3.5l on 2040-cars

US $1,200.00
Year:2002 Mileage:186279
Location:

Fairfield, Iowa, United States

Fairfield, Iowa, United States

Up for grab this gently driven family Kia Sedona being offered "AS IS", without warranty, expressed or implied, with the buyer being responsible for pickup or arrange for delivery.

The good:
LF tire brand new, RF tire has about 25% life left, rear tires both about 40%.
Engine has AMSOIL synthetic oil that should be good until odometer turns 200000.  (AMSOIL is only changed at every 25000 miles)
Motor runs very smoothly, the inside of the van is clean, non-smoker used.
Fresh transmission flush.
Comes with 2 keys and one clicker (remote car opener)

The bad:
Armrests of the seats are not staying in position - at least not all of them.
Hatch (back) door handle needs to be pushed back into position to operate properly each time you open it (missing a spring?)
Needs new parking brake cable.
Obvious rust spots and dents several places on the body (see pics).
AC has slight leak, needs top off at beginning of each AC season.
Front and rear plastic bumper cover is cracked - fixed with white duct tape by previous owner - it never bothered me enough to buy new ones but they go for about 150.00 on ebay should you so desire. (You will only need the plastic cover not the whole bumper)
Transmission has a very slight jerk on long roads once in a while. My mechanic says it could mean that the transmission started to go bad, but he had to take the van for a test drive twice to even notice it. I  have no way of telling how long the  transmission will last, but right now it is a great daily driver. In city traffic no one can detect any problem with it. Speeds up and shifts nicely.

Test drive and a look trough is strongly encouraged. Send message through ebay to arrange one!

It would be a good daily driver, or could be parted out (and I still might do that if it does not sell), but I probably would not take it cross country.
I am willing to deliver the van to you in a 50 mile radius (from Fairfield,Iowa)  for an additional 50 bucks.
Good luck with bidding!

Next-gen Kia Sedona drops more camo, shows KV7 cues

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

It was just two weeks ago that we saw our first glimpse of the 2015 Kia Sedona testing in full camouflage, but now Kia has stripped away some of the heavy cladding to give us an even better idea what its new minivan will look like. As we pointed out before, the next Sedona doesn't use as many design cues from the 2012 Kia KV7 as we initially hoped, but it should be interesting enough to stand out from the current crop of minivans.
Even though most of the body is still covered with the black and white pattern and the side doors still have cladding, these spy shots show off plenty of details about the new Sedona. Starting up front, Kia gave its minivan a more upright shape that we've seen a lot of on current Kia designs, while the reduced camo also makes the van's new side window shape more obvious. This pinched daylight opening (DLO) along the side is the same as what we saw on the KV7, and the window line dips back down again for the liftgate glass. While we're focused on the rear of the Sedona, that liftgate spoiler looks a lot like what we're used to seeing on the back of a Porsche Cayenne.
Kia has still yet to announce when its new minivan will be unveiled, but as things seem to be pretty far along in development, we'd expect to see something on the 2015 Sedona fairly soon.

2014 Kia Sorento garners five-star NHTSA rating

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The 2014 Kia Sorento has just earned a five-start crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
According to Kia, the new Sorento scored well in both frontal and side-impact crash tests, while also netting high marks in rollover testing. Orth Hedrick, Kia's American director of product planning said, "Already a compelling entry in the compact CUV category, earning a five-Star rating from NHTSA makes the Sorento an even stronger contender within its segment while underscoring Kia's overall commitment to delivering safety and exceptional value to our customers."
The Sorento joins the Sportage within the Kia range, and the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester in netting a five-star score in the small, CUV segment. Take a look below for the official press release from Kia.

Hyundai and Kia recalling 1.6M more models for faulty brake switch

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

In what is likely the largest recall campaign for Hyundai and Kia, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall of more than 1.6 million models due to a faulty brake switch. This is in addition to almost 700,000 Hyundai and Kia models recalled for the same problem back in 2009.
In more than 620,000 Kia models and 1 million Hyundai products for the 2007 through 2011 model years, the brake switch could malfunction causing the brake lights to not illuminate, which could lead to accident. Other possible issues with a faulty switch include the cruise control not cancelling with the brake pedal, the push-button starter not working properly and the shift interlock not disengaging causing the transmission to be stuck in Park. To fix the problem, the brake lights switch will be replaced.
Due to the large number of units being recalled, both automakers are issuing a notice by next month with parts not expected to be ready until June. The full list of affected vehicles and the NHTSA press releases are posted below.
