Kia Sportage Usados en Venta en Bronxville, NY

Bought ten-year-old car with cash back when it had 125K on it for $2k. The $15 relay gave it spurious computer codes that were different all the time. That's why the lady sold it. Man, she had everything new on it. I lucked out. It took me a year to figure out that the side button on the auto stick was the 'hold' button. Since after uselessly spending $500 to find it was a $15 problem, I haven't had any problems with it. It is now at about 155K, and I've had it for six years. I don't drive much, but I trusted the car to take me to the Grand Canyon and back. It has an 8" clearance. It was able to go up the winding Carr Canyon road after the monsoon season and it hasn't been stuck once. Blew out three old tires from the sharp rock, though. Now I have all four new tires. The fourth blow-out was my fault. I backed up on over a Mesquite tree base and put a six-inch piece of branch inside the tire!

I was not looking for a Kia when I bought the Sportage In fact, I had never owned a Kia before. I bought it because it looked cute. I did not expect it to last long, but it has surprised me. I like it because it has a sporty feel, it's easy to maneuver, and it's good on gas. I have driven it for over 60,000 miles and it has not needed any repairs. It is surprisingly roomy for a small SUV. The back seat folds flat for carrying large loads. The interior trim has held up all this time, and when I have the car cleaned, it could pass for new.

I like the fact that it's a Jeep and spacious in the trunk part which is convenient when I have to take quite a few suitcases or I'm in the process of moving. It's in my favorite color red, and the previous owner put big tires on it which makes my sportage stand out, and people with more newer cars have complimented me on how nice my KIA Sportage is. It is really amazing on gas. I can travel back and forth over an hour away to visit family and friends and when gas is in the 2.50 range per gallon, I still only pay twenty five bucks to fill my tank up and it last me for a while. It runs pretty smooth and doesn't make any loud noises like some older model cars, which is awesome. The windows are some what tinted, but I wish it could have been more of an updated tint and not a cheaply looking plastic tent. Overall, it is a very reliable car and doesn't have any issues when it comes to driving and getting you where you need to go. I wouldn't trade it for a new 2017 model due to how good the older model is.
