Used Kia Sorento - a good buy or not?

[AndyB]

Hello Tuners
I am looking for a SUV with good gas mileage, low maintenance costs and good reliability. I am considering a 2006 Kia Sorento, and would appreciate your opinions on whether this would be a good buy. Most important will be reliabilty and the cost of maintenance. Recommendations for an alternative are most welcome, I have a budget of around $70k. Thanks

That’s way too much for that vehicle. Also very old so may give problems like engine and tranny. Be careful. Also for not much more can get a 2012 sorento for $80k!
