2005 Kia Sedona Ex Mini Passenger Van 5-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Hinsdale, Illinois, United States
I bought this van for my wife about 5 years ago. I bought a Trailblazer and she took that and I started driving this. I was working as an asst. manager and was working a lot of hours and coming home one night and fell asleep just north of rt126 on interstate 55. I bought all of the sheet metal to fix it and had a body shop pull the front end out and hang all the sheet metal. I have been driving the van every day to work and the brakes in the front are starting to not release right away. With the brakes the way they are it makes driving it in the rain pretty interesting. I had the van aligned at pepboys and they did a ok job, the steering wheel isn't straight and before the breaks started acting up it didn't pull. The air bags did deploy which broke the windshield so I had a new windshield put in it. This van is not in anyway perfect but it only has 88000 miles and everything still works. It has the DVD system in for the back seats and it works fine I have the remote for it also. power seats I changed the rear hatch because my back window was broken out in my driveway. There is in a dent over the right side rear door that was caused by a branch falling on it. The front tires are new the rear could use replaced. I wouldn't mind keeping it and giving it to my 16 year old daughter but my wife hates seeing it anymore. The van does run great I would drive it any place I have drove it to Wisconsin since the accident. With a little work this could be a great van again I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I am going to put the reserve high but I am wanting to sell it so if the reserve isn't met that doesn't mean I won't sell it. I like motorcycles and suv's pickups I just want something different. If you have any questions just ask my number is 630-401-0001 I prefer text but call in you need to just please don't call after 10 p.m. central time.

Kia GT4 Stinger gets top-down teaser
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Kia has issued another teaser for its hotly anticipated GT4 Stinger Concept, which is set to debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show early next week. Our third teaser for the new car is from above, showing a squat, compact sports car form that makes us rather hopeful for the upcoming debut.
All signs point to the GT4 being a looker, with noticeable vents in the hood, a small back window and rather meaty C-pillars and rear haunches. When Kia calls this "sculpted" in the press release, we're certainly inclined to agree.
As we told you when revealing the GT4's last teaser, a 2.0-liter turbo will be responsible for motivating the rear-drive 2+2. If it held on to the concept's 315 horsepower, a production version of the Stinger Concept would certainly seem like it could have the potential to keep pace with the new EcoBoost-powered Ford Mustang, as well as the Genesis Coupe, from Kia's favorite corporate frenemy, Hyundai.
2014 Kia Forte sedan priced from $15,900*
Thu, 21 Mar 2013During our recent First Drive of the 2014 Kia Forte sedan, Kia revealed many of the sedan's specs, but left out pricing and fuel economy for its all-new compact sedan. With the new Forte set to hit dealerships soon, Kia has announced the starting prices for the sedan's two initial trim levels and released the fuel economy for the EX trim level equipped with the bigger engine. Marking a slight $500 jump in price over the current 2013 model, the 2014 Forte sedan will have a starting MSRP of $15,900 (*not including a destination charge of $800).
This price is for the base LX sedan with the 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter inline-four paired to the manual gearbox, but buyers wanting an automatic transmission will have to pony up an extra $1,500. Some of the notable features standard on the LX include Bluetooth and heated, power-folding door mirrors.
Stepping up to the EX trim level will run $19,400, but it also brings the peppier 2.0-liter direct-injected four-cylinder producing 173 horsepower and returning 24 miles per gallon in the city, 36 mpg highway and a combined rating of 28 mpg; Kia says these are EPA estimates, but the EPA's website does not yet list the 2014 Forte. Kia is still holding out on fuel economy for the base engine.
Provo concept name has Kia embroiled in terrorism controversy?
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In the relatively lengthy press release that Kia composed for the launch of its Provo concept car at the Geneva Motor Show this week, the company never mentioned where the name came from, or what it means for the car. A very basic web search for "Provo" reveals that the inspiration for the hatch could have been a city in Utah, a township in South Dakota or a village in Bosnia. The name could be a reference to either an American (Fred) or Canadian (Dwayne) football player, and Provo might also accurately reference a "Dutch counterculture movement in the mid-1960s" or a ship in the US Navy. More likely than any of those, however, is that the Kia designers of the concept - a car that was wholly a product of the Korean automaker's design studios in Frankfurt, for the record - meant it as a play on the existing Pro_cee'd hatchback.
What the designers and Kia executives that signed off on the Provo almost certainly did not have in mind was a reference to a street name for the Provisional Irish Republican Army. That "Provo" was, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, an outlawed army faction that was blamed for some 2,000 deaths in Northern Ireland during a period stretching from 1970 to 1997.
And yet, it was that association that led Gregory Campbell, a member of parliament from Northern Ireland, to introduce legislation that would ban Kia from selling a car under the name Provo. Kia, quick to realize the sizable gaffe it has stumbled into with the name, has reportedly already promised not to use the name for a production vehicle.
