The Kia Sorento is a mid-size SUV that packs a big V6 engine. On the road or off, it is nimble and comfortable.
The Sorento is available in LX and EX trims. It is able to seat five passengers comfortably and comes in either rear- or four-wheel drive. It is powered by a 192 hp 3.5-liter V-6 that is mated to a five-speed Sportmatic automatic transmission or a five-speed manual. It is rated to tow up to 3,500lbs when properly equipped and has a switch to turn on and off the part-time four-wheel drive. Safety features include four-wheel disc brakes and side-curtain airbags. There are also optional anti-lock brakes.
The Kia Sorento is a carryover from 2005.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Kia Sorento, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Kia Sorento for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Kia Sorento was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Kia Sorento is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Kia Sorento will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Kia Sorento is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
