Replying to: steve_ (May 09, 2009 2:44 am) So back away from pointing ME out on my posts. Nothing was inappropriate, and all of us were welcomed to POST our feelings, and experiences. Am I right?

Replying to: dodgeman6 (May 09, 2009 6:00 am) That is correct and nobody said (or implied) that anything about your message was inappropriate. We appreciate all views and welcome all who share their experiences. The point was that people experiencing problems are more likely to post messages in public forums than those not experiencing problems. Of course, we'd all like to hear more good news but that's the way it is. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

| I have a 2004 Kia Sorenta with 120,000 miles. Crank shaft and bearings went out. Kia dealership quoted $5,000 for new motor. Calling around for a use motor to put in ourselfs. For a used motor $4,000. I am learning this is a problem with Kias. Anyone else with same problem and what did you do? If I didn't care about my credit would call the bank to come get the SOB! | |

The local Kia dealer here is offering a great deal on a nice red 2008 Sorento LX 2WD. The price is dealer invoice less a $5,000 rebate. That brings it down to a hair under $17K. For the same price, I can buy a 2005 4Runner with 45,000 one-owner miles on it. I was leaning toward the Sorento because it is new and has an excellent warranty, but I am getting spooked by all the horror stories on this message board. I haven't read all 3,900 messages, but I've browsed through enough of them to see that there are a lot of unhappy Sorento owners out there. I know that message boards like this attract owners with problems, but the complaints I'm reading about are consistent with the problem areas noted by Consumer Reports (e.g., power accessories, climate control, brakes.) Should I take a chance on the Sorento or go with the used (and out-of-warranty) Toyota? |

I bought what I thought was a 2003-2006 workshop manual book on e-bay . When I received it , it was a disk with selected PDF files of the entire features. Though out the pages was a e-bay buyers # and ID blocking some of the main features, but to a point was still some sort readable . Having complained to e-bay that it was not what was written on the sellers AD , I was given a refund of the full price . This in a way is a copy right breach as I'm sure the seller didn't want any problems as he had 100's of other car makes as well. If anybody wants these PDF files please post me a reply with your email address and I'll send them to you free of charge. Cheers , Carey
