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!

Kia to green-light GT and Provo for production?

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Kia is looking to inject a bit more performance life into its brand, and according to Auto Express, the company is looking at creating sporty models based on two of its recent concept cars, the GT four-door from the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (shown above) and the Provo hybrid hatchback that debuted in Geneva last week (inset, right).
"The GT is close to being approved and going into production, but, as with all our cars, they have to be developed on a sound financial footing," Benny Oeyen, Kia Europe's VP of marketing and product planning, told Auto Express. When it debuted, the GT four-door was powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6, reportedly good for 389 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The Provo, on the other hand, could stand as a sort of halo car for the company's B-segment offerings. It would ride on the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Rio compact, though Kia says it's eager to keep the concept's gasoline-electric powertrain intact. "Our brand is currently rational, but there's space for a B-coupe," says Oeyen. Of course, the company would indeed have to look at different naming possibilities for its B-segment coupe, since the week-old Provo is already stirring up some controversy.

Kia teases B-segment concept headed to Frankfurt

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

It's not uncommon to see an automaker go a little outside of its comfort zone when creating a concept car, but Kia seems to be going all out for a new small concept it plans to unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Although there is not much information to go on about this unnamed concept, Kia does say that it "hints at a possible future B-segment contender."
With headlights that would look at home on a C7 Corvette or Jaguar F-Type and door cut lines reminiscent of a Ford GT, we can only imagine how sporty this car will look in the flesh. The wide door openings also give a good glimpse inside the car revealing details deep, flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters and the peculiar rotary-style shifter, but our attention is on the instrument panel switches. If you look closely, the second switch from the left seems to be for a center differential possibly hinting at a future sporty all-wheel-drive Kia. Yes, please! Scroll down for the brief press release on the car, and stay tuned for more info as we'll be on hand covering the show next month.

Hyundai and Kia adding Google Maps API to nav systems

Sat, 05 Jan 2013

Hyundai's Blue Link and Kia's UVO infotainment systems will be adding three Google features: Send2Car, Point of Interest Search and Local Search by Voice. Send2Car lets travelers send destinations to their vehicle's navigation system from a computer or via a mobile phone app, and the POI and local searches are continuously updated in Google Places' database. The new data service integrations mean that drivers will have more access to more destinations and be able to find them more quickly.
Hyundai hasn't said when the new features will debut nor on what model. Kia buyers will find them introduced on the 2014 Kia Sorento expected to roll into dealerships shortly, with the Forte sedan following. You'll find a press release on the updates below.
