#47 of 544 Sedona 2003 trailer light wiring by rogoman Nov 05, 2003 (7:08 am)
Is there a simple plug in device for trailer wiring or do you have to splice into the existing wires to hook up trailer lights? JC Whitney has a plug in device for 2002 models but nothing for 2003 models. I would think both years are the same but would like to hear from some 2003 owners. Thanks, judithrogoyahoo.com

Go to www.etrailer.com for the wiring harness. Worked great on my 2003 and good instructions. Bought it as a part of the class III package, so don't recall independent package, but it was reasonable-high teens I think.   Quick hook up, although if you wish to run wires for perm install attached to trailer, it will be harder(kit is for inside installation running wires outside hatch via the "slam the hatch down on it" occasional use. Getting the wires through the hatch is a little harder...involves drilling or pass through existing hole and resealing. That is the only thing that keeps me from installing my backup sensor...will take all pm to disassemble/reassemble tailgate. (hooks up around license plate)
#50 of 544 2003 Kia Sedona EX - New York City by ilovemykia Nov 08, 2003 (7:32 am)
We just purchased our Sage Green '03 Kia Sedona EX with tan cladding, loaded with ABS, Sunroof, Leather Package, and Rear Spoiler for $20,300 pre-tax. Our Kia dealer also gave us 50 free oil changes, and some other free check-up items as well. We had a happy buying experience, but I must say I did my research and shopped around so we were prepared for a quick and easy buying experience once we were ready to make our purchase. We and our kids love our Kia!
#51 of 544 2002 Used Kia Sedona -Maryland by jbaut5 Nov 09, 2003 (7:02 pm)
I bought my Kia Sedona on 11/7/03 with 9,500 miles on it for $13,999. I think that was a good deal, altough we have possible issues with the brakes and air bag light not going off on the dashboard. Buying experience was very good.
#52 of 544 #7 of 51 by chrisbgood: Still satisfied with Lia?? by shi7 Dec 29, 2003 (9:19 pm)
Hi there chrisbgood & other Sedona owners,     I have been researching vehicles for about a week now, hard to decide if I want a van again (had a junk 96 Windstar) or "keep up w/the Jones" SUV. I have a family of 4 plus a 60lb canine and occasional friends. Really looking at the Sedonas for their value, safety and options (really want that SUNroof)! I am N of Lia (SS,NY) and would probably be shopping there - my question (finally)- Are you still satisfied with Lia? Was the car buying process fairly smooth? How is the service? How do u & your wife feel about your 2002 Ex to date?   I'm the wife and this will be my ride, mostly in town driving but occasional trips to Albany and Lake George, also would like to tow our small boat to our yearly camping trip to Fish Creek, NY(Tupper Lake). I am interested in the 2003 or the 2004- really trying to keep price low so will probably go with the 2003 (wondering if I'll find one really?)...   I hope your still out there and can give us all feedback on your dealer and your 03 Ex... : -)

I've got a 2003 EX. My wife loves it. She only put 7-8k/yr on our old Ford Aerostar. The Kia just went over 17k in a year. We've had virtually zero problems, except a habitually noisey air conditioner, and one light bulb in the hatch which I need to replace.   Van tows fine. Having the oil and transmission cooler really helps. I have an aftermarket class 3 (2" square receiver)hitch I bought from etrailer.com...takes about 30 min and minimum tools to install.   Minor gripes: 1. It could use about another 12" behind the back seats. We usually leave the middle seat behind the driver out to carry extra suitcases or the junk my spouse can't live without on the daily runs to town. Makes it easier for the kid in the back seat to enter/exit as well. 2. Bumper covers are soft plastic and scratch VERY easily, showing the black color underneath. We have 3-4 big nicks on the front where road rocks and the occasional tall parking bullet rub show through.   Hope this helps. It's a good van, very solid, and ours has proven very reliable. I've had it in snow, ice, slush, mud, and heavy rain...it handles very well. Our stands up to DC stop/go traffic, and the I-95 grand prix races as well.   Recommend you look at the "used" values for low mileage 2003 here on Edmunds and use that as a bargaining chip while negotiating with your dealer. (...because 3 sec after you drive it off the lot, that is what it is worth)if you go after the 2003.   Have a great New Year.
#54 of 544 shi7 -- Lia by chrisbgood Jan 01, 2004 (5:34 pm)
Hi shi7 -- Lia was a very good buying experience. No issues with service -- they seem to be respectful and easy to work with. I had a few minor issues which they have resolved.   We have > 24k on the van now and it does keep up with traffic (watch for tickets). Milege is as advertised (15 to 20 -- occassionally as high as 22) so keep that in mind but even the best minivan isn't much better.   If it's this or a Chrysler/Dodge -- I pick Kia (having owned both). If it's this or a Honda/Toyota -- if I had the extra $$ I might choose Honda/Toyota -- but it's a huge chunk of change (>5k) difference in out the door price.
