#6 of 174 Just got a 2003 Sorento LX by benjamin_ng Aug 03, 2003 (10:45 pm)
Hi All,   Just bought my Sorento LX yesterday from a local Kia dealer. A friend of mine bought my camry (has 105K on it) and I did not have too much time to shop.   It was used with 5300 miles on it and never registerd with DMV. The General Manager of the dealership said his boss drove the car for a while and he is selling to me as a NEW car and that warranty would start yesterday (date wise) and last till 100K powertrain. After $1000 rebate and all I paid roughly $16900 + tax and license for the car. It is going to be a commute car so I did not go for the Leather and all although I really wanted it. Oh, I did pay $950 extra for extended warranty 10 yr/100K bumper to bumper and alarm system. This alarm system will let me remotely unlock the car over the phone in case I locked myself out.   I think it is a ok deal as I did not have much time to look. I do plan on driving the car to more than 100K miles if it lets me.   Oh, one question though. The Sorento did not have ABS, is this an option I can add. The dealer said no but I find it really odd. Is this true ?   Thanks a lot. Benjamin

benjamin_ng - ABS is factory installed option. It costs $510 more (MSRP) on a Sorento with ABS. I don't think you can add it now. Good luck and have fun!

Good luck on your Sorento and happy motoring. I do have a question for you though. I have been looking for a alarm system for ours and my dealer does not offer one. I have been to the usual stores like Circuit City and Best Buy but they have none for the Sorento because of the key fob we have. Ours has the rear tailgate window release and they cannot match it or program theirs to match. I can get one but I would have to have two fobs one for the Sorento and one for the alarm. What brand name is your alarm. Maybe Ican find a dealer that installe them around here (Connecticut. Thanks and again good luck.
#9 of 174 Aftermarket alarm system by lok888 Aug 04, 2003 (9:03 am)
The people at a local car alarm place told they can install an alarm system with remote starter on 2003 Sorento. It is made by Python. And I still haven't installed one yet. I probably will get one before this winter comes. He said it has four buttons on the remote for LOCK & UNLOCK (same button, also works as PANIC if hold for more than two seconds), REAR GLASS, REMOTE STARTER and possible one more auxiliary like power windows (extra parts needed).
#10 of 174 What I paid for mine by ivan4741 Aug 05, 2003 (2:40 pm)

Hi Hugo,   Sorry for the late, late reply. I got the alarm from a company called ADS ( Advance dealer service ) or something like that. It is very similar to one found here www.satronics.com but my model is WL504. It can do the standard function like arm/disarm and gate (the glass portion) release. It also let you arm and disarm using a touch tone phone.   I think it is basically a pager. You key in your code and command from the phone and the system send the command to your car for the desired action. I tried it and it works. There is a 2 minute delay or so after you key in the command.   Oh. Since I don't have the factory FOB so there isn't much issue for me.   Let me know if there is any question.   Benjamin
#12 of 174 About to buy a SORENTO(4WD EX) by ansehd Aug 19, 2003 (10:13 am)
5 days ago, i stopped by the Kia dealershop saying full-featured sorento is about $28,540 unresonablly. Before i checked the RMV on this site, I consider at leat to pay 27,000. But Thanks to you guys' advice, i am pretty sure i can get a better deal.   The option i would like to have with the sorento(4WD EX) are luxuary package and ABS. How much is gona be a good deal at least? Can i pay under 25,000 to own it with 1000 rebate?
#13 of 174 Sorento EX 4WD by lok888 Aug 19, 2003 (10:57 am)
ansehd - The Edmunds' TMV for this EX 4WD with luxury package and ABS is $25864 in my area after the $1000 cash rebate. This is the price is without any dealer discount and it is close to your price. I don't know why the invoice price information is not available on Edmunds. I can't see how much it cost these days. I bought mine in December. I think it probably costs $24K these days with those equipments. Someone mentioned the 2WD with the similar options in $23K price range.
#14 of 174 03 Invoice prices by steve_ HOST Aug 19, 2003 (12:06 pm)
I don't know why we don't have the Sorento invoice pricing up. Maybe the data people are getting ready to flop the '04 info up.   Steve, Host
#15 of 174 Canadian SUV Convert by suvconvert Sep 05, 2003 (8:16 pm)
My wife spent 2 years looking for an SUV that fit our price range and needs - we purchased a Kia Sorento EX . I'm not fond of SUV's but I'm very impressed with the fit, finish, and standard equipment of the Kia EX.   We paid $33,655.00 CAD for our EX. That price includes a 7% federal sales tax called the GST - goods and service or gouge and screw tax. The dealer/bank financing was 60 months with an interest rate of 3.9%.   This was the best vehicle purchase experience I have had. The deal was "wrapped up" in 3 hours which included a trade-in of worn out 1998 Ford Windstar.
