In Pocatello area
Gen 1 Kia Sportage 4x4. 2.0L 4cyl engine like in a Miata.
167,000 miles
Good:
Interior in very good condition, seats intact, only a few carpet stains.
A/C blows cold, heater blows hot.
Tires are still about 70%.
Comes with brand new-in-box shocks and struts.
Runs well, 4x4 works well.
Aftermarket Warn manual hubs, so you know they're locked when you want them locked.
Despite its age, pretty much all the electronical stuff still works great.
Rear mounted tool box for spare parts, fluids, etc.
Also ample room for tools in the inside rear floor compartment.
Five-speed manual. If you like driving a manual, especially off road or in snow, you understand.
Can go just about anywhere with the right tires. I've taken it on trails where most trucks fear to tread. Has decent amount of protection underneath and very few things hanging down below the frame.
Has a real frame underneath, so can be easily lifted if that's your thing. It's basically the Korean equivalent to a Samurai, just a lot stronger.
It's fun to meet people choking on trail dust in their brand new $40k side-by-side while you're cruising over obstacles with the windows up and the A/C on. I've gotten so many WTF looks on trails with this thing.
The bad:
It starts, but not happily. Pretty sure it will need a starter soon. Haven't had to push start it yet, but it can be done easily, which is why I haven't worried too much about the starter.
Power steering system has a slow leak. Haven't torn into it, since it's just my spare car right now.
Front bumper is missing the plastic cover. (Looks better without it, has a better approach angle now anyway)
$1900 or best offer. I'm not in a big hurry to sell, but I am flexible, just keep the offers realistic. I'm not starving for cash, I just don't want to give it away.
May consider trades for guns, particularly lever guns, 2011 pistols. Possibly ammo if you have any 30-30. Might consider something else, let me know.
Also will consider a GOOD atv, particularly a three-wheeler, 200 or larger, or a good larger e-bike/e motorcycle.
May consider other stuff. No games, shoes, stereos, random junk.
Don't call or text, you won't get me.
