2005 Kia Sedona Ex Mini Passenger Van 5-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Hinsdale, Illinois, United States
I bought this van for my wife about 5 years ago. I bought a Trailblazer and she took that and I started driving this. I was working as an asst. manager and was working a lot of hours and coming home one night and fell asleep just north of rt126 on interstate 55. I bought all of the sheet metal to fix it and had a body shop pull the front end out and hang all the sheet metal. I have been driving the van every day to work and the brakes in the front are starting to not release right away. With the brakes the way they are it makes driving it in the rain pretty interesting. I had the van aligned at pepboys and they did a ok job, the steering wheel isn't straight and before the breaks started acting up it didn't pull. The air bags did deploy which broke the windshield so I had a new windshield put in it. This van is not in anyway perfect but it only has 88000 miles and everything still works. It has the DVD system in for the back seats and it works fine I have the remote for it also. power seats I changed the rear hatch because my back window was broken out in my driveway. There is in a dent over the right side rear door that was caused by a branch falling on it. The front tires are new the rear could use replaced. I wouldn't mind keeping it and giving it to my 16 year old daughter but my wife hates seeing it anymore. The van does run great I would drive it any place I have drove it to Wisconsin since the accident. With a little work this could be a great van again I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I am going to put the reserve high but I am wanting to sell it so if the reserve isn't met that doesn't mean I won't sell it. I like motorcycles and suv's pickups I just want something different. If you have any questions just ask my number is 630-401-0001 I prefer text but call in you need to just please don't call after 10 p.m. central time.

Hyundai, union reach tentative labor deal
Thu, 05 Sep 2013According to Reuters, South Korea's labor unions may have reached a tentative deal with Hyundai following a compromise between the two sides on wages. Workers have staged a number of stoppages since August 20, which have cost the South Korean giant 1.02 trillion won - around $1.1B US. It also represents just over 50,000 units of production. That vehicle total sounds like a lot, but it's a small enough figure that Hyundai can apparently catch up with weekend and overtime shifts. We'd wager that this is why US inventories haven't been hit quite so hard aside from the battering already taking place. The proposal will now go before the union's rank and file.
If ratified, the new agreement will see workers getting a 5.14-percent raise in base salaries, along with 8.5-million-won (roughly $7,800) bonuses. Those concessions are a far cry compared to what the union was initially demanding, though. Early proposals included a 56.25-gram gold medal for each employee (worth about $2,400) and a 10-million won bonus (about $9,100) for employees whose children chose not to attend college. The union also sought a bonus worth two months' salary for workers that have been with the company for over 40 years, but this was negotiated down to a flat rate of six-million won ($5,464).
Based on Reuters' report, the work stoppages must have taken a real toll on Hyundai - its domestic sales dropped 20 percent last month, while exports were down nine percent. Those startling figures must have put some fire under the Hyundai bargaining team.
Hyundai, Kia announce buyback plan for angry Korean investors
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Hyundai's controversial decision last September to move its Korean headquarters to an expansive (and expensive) new facility was met with a swift backlash by shareholders. After making the biggest land purchase in South Korean history, the company's share price took a nine-point nose dive.
Now, in a bid to get back in the good graces of its stockholders, Hyundai and its subsidiary, Kia, will make a $615-million stock buyback plan. Reuters claims this is the first time in ten years that Hyundai has made a buyback offer with the explicit purpose of pumping up share prices.
The total deal bumped up Hyundai's share prices 5.7 percent while Kia is up two percent, although neither company has fully recovered from the battering that followed the headquarters announcement. It's unclear what else it will take for Hyundai to recover the ground it lost during the land deal.
2014 Kia Sorento
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Big Changes Below, But Just A Little Off The Top
It happens all the time. Three or four years into an automobile's lifecycle, the manufacturer goes back to the drawing board, making what it hopes are vital improvements to keep its product at the top of the sales charts. It's true of the vehicle we're discussing today, the 2014 Kia Sorento, but unlike many midlife facelifts, most of what's new here can't be seen with the naked eye.
Yes, there are the normal changes to the front and rear fascias, and a few nips and tucks here and there to improve the crossover's outward appearance. But, for the first time in as long as we can remember, the big news here is that the new Sorento is actually riding atop a new platform, according to Kia.
