2006 Kia Sorento EX auto by leftcoast2

Today was the first time I went to look at this vehicle. I'm in S.CAL. I really respect all of your posts as this is also my first time at this site. I'm glad I found it. The numbers are I got are up around $28K+ T T L. Of course I want all the features 4X4,luxury package,towing. My question is, should I wait longer into the year to see the $22/24000 figures? I also have a 2003 volvo S60T. Should I sell that on my own or trade it in. I owe about $7500 on it. I appreciate any input as I'm not savvy on buying new autos. Only did it once before. Thanks a bunch and happy motoring!

I worked out a deal yesterday for a TOP-o-the line EX Sorento with 4K miles on it.(dealer car) Sticker was 30,493, and we got down to $23.8 with rebates et al. But i still didn't buy it...I think you can get a fully pimped out EX for under 23K....just my opinion.

Summer is the best time to by foregin as new models start as well as rebates are offered. Yes, sell your own. I have used cars.com and had excellent results on two vehicles.
 
Good luck....right coast, nc

Sorrento LX Rental by sandman46

I got a Sorrento LX from Enterprise this evening and it's a real blast to drive. It's a bit to big and tall for me with my bad back and all, but I now know that a small sport ute might just be the ticket for me. I'll still enjoy the ride for the 3 or 4 days that I'll have it though. Doesn't Kia make a smaller sport ute now?

Turned the Sorrento in earlier this evening to Enterprise. Totally unimpressed with the car. With only 7230 on the odo, the car shuddered from a stop when I started to accelerate. Very disconcerting. It sure moved once it got going and the brakes worked o k, don't know if it had ABS. The plastics were not up to Japanese standards and it wouldn't fit in the garage. The mileage was worse than I expected also. I did love the high seating position though...a nice commanding view of the road ahead.
I wonder if the Sportage would be a better fit for me when the time comes. Still unsure about the long term reliability & quality of the interior parts though. Think I'd rather pony up a little more for the Rav4 or the CRV and get the Toyota/Honda quality. I know one pays a premium for them, but they do set the benchmark in the small ute class...hands down!
Just my $.02 here after having driven the Sorrento about 100 miles.
