It would be difficult or impossible to get a new '03 or '04 Sorento with 4WD and leather (only on EX model). I did a research from Kelley Blue Book few weeks ago. The value of my '03 Sorento (10K miles) EX, 4WD with luxury package is $18.9K (trade in), $21.7K (private sale) and $24.3K (retail). I paid $26K for the car back in December with no rebate or incentive. For a used Sorento for under $20K, probably has more miles on it. Maybe you are talking about an '04 LX (4WD?) with no leather for your target price after dealer discount and factory cash back. I do see few posts that LX (2WD?) for $16K and EX (4WD?)for $23K.
#19 of 174 Getting ready to buy by elmo51 Nov 04, 2003 (9:07 am)
I'm moving from Phoenix Arizona to Berthoud Colorado and am planning on purchasing a new Sorento EX by the end of the month. Anyone have a dealership in the Denver-Longmont-Loveland-Ft. Collins area they'd recommend or avoid? Am interested in the concept of buying through the internet and just picking it up locally but I do wonder how payment is made in a situation like that.....Thanks everyone!

...Well, congratulations on your choice to purchase a Kia Sorento. You will be very happy I'm sure.   I live in Longmont Colorado...and I can give some advice here. DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT...consider using Kia Cowboy Corral in Longmont. I purchased my Sorento from these jokers...and though they gave me a smoking deal, everything from that point on has been an absolute nightmare! There service department is a joke! So I would not recommend these guys in anyway. Trust me.   I did not get much help in the whealing and dealing part of negotiating with the Tynan's Nissan and Kia in Ft. Colliins. Nice guys, but they really don't want to sell you a car unless your an idiot and aren't very educated in the true costs...etc.   I have been using Grand Kia in Westminster. Its a ways from where your moving, but they have been great with me. They have treated me very well and their service department is fantastic. Now...I don't know about buying there. So thats up for debate. But I'm sure they will work with you. Just come with your guns loaded...so to speak.   Anyway...I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, just address them to me here.   Good luck. Mark Replies to this message: himi1 (Aug 01, 2007 6:43 am)

Hi Mark and thanks for you observations. If I may ask, what model did you get, what options and what did you pay? Did you have much choice in color etc? The Kia dealers here (Phoenix) seem to have a pretty good choice of vehicles on their lots, but we don't buy a lot of AWD with the intent of using it anyway. Thanks again for your help. Lynne
#22 of 174 elmo51...my sorento... by ivygrnsorento Nov 05, 2003 (12:35 pm)
I purchased an EX 4x4 last November. The only extra option I purchased was ABS at a cost of $550. My Sorento is an Ivy Green with Stone Cladding. At the time of my purchase, there were many choices for colors. Which was a little strange considering how many posts I had read in this and other forums about the limited color availibility. The price I paid for my sorento was $23,500, and that included destination charges, but not the taxes.   Hope this helps.

#24 of 174 How many Sorentos sold by now by 03lxv6 Nov 07, 2003 (1:03 pm)
I read from somewhere (cars.com?) Kia plans to sell 50,000 Sorentos in the first year. What is the actual sale number?   From yahoo, the number certainly does not look good: 8451   Anybody bought a sorento in the Silicon Valley bay area? Do not see much around town. Actually only saw 2 thus far.

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030903/law088_1.html   I'm not sure where you got your information. But from last November (2002) to this September (2003, Kia has sold over 31,000 Sorentos in the USA.   Check link above to see current sales figures based on the 1st of 2003 thru September 2003.

Thanks for the info. I was able to find out their number up to october is about 34000.   How do you like your sorento? Is it major-problem free?
#27 of 174 Pricing Sorento Syracuse by danb14 Nov 08, 2003 (1:22 pm)
Has any one purchased a 2003 Sorento in the Syracuse area (within 100 miles)in the last 1-3 months? Need to know what to expect to pay. Also, are you satisfied with purchase? What dealership did you find had the best service/honesty?
