If it’s anything like the similar year Hyundai Santa Fe make sure it has the valve cover alternator recall done. There was an issue where the valve cover could leak oil onto the alternator and cause electrical damage or a fire.Bought a new to me car today. Picked up a 2005 Kia Sorento. 141,000 miles. Yeah it's 20 years old but being a southern car, it's not all rotted out. V6, 4wd, limited slip differential, 5 speed manual. Pretty good shape. Couple of minor things but mechanically fine. In the last two years, new A/T tires, brakes and rotors, clutch, and a/c serviced.
Just before that, traded into a CZ 452 22lr in immaculate condition.
It'll be well insured lol.There was an issue where the valve cover could leak oil onto the alternator and cause electrical damage or a fire.
The pre 2012 ones are way better vehicles than the later ones. The 3.5 is a solid engine. The post 2012’s with the 2.4 are dumpster fires because of that 2.4 GDI engineIt'll be well insured lol.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it. It has the 3.5l V-6. My son drove it yesterday to get it back to the house. Almost 90 miles. Mix of back roads and highway. No issues. I'll be going through it today and cleaning it and seeing if there's anything I need to do right away

My son has my wife's old 2016. One of the best vehicles we've owned.
