Up for sale is my 02 Kia Sportage with selectable 4WD. I've loved and cared for this car while I've had it, but for me it's time to stop putting money into it and get a car with an automatic transmission. This car would make a perfect fun weekend four-wheeler or regular stuff-mover. Comfortable enough as a daily driver or road tripper, with enough power and agility to work your way through what the road throws at you. The full gallery (27 pictures) is available by request and I can add detail pictures as requested. Please send me a message with any questions.

ConditionGenerally good condition. Very good body and interior condition for its age, drives down the road straight and easy. Besides what is described here, no other known issues. I will include complete records from while I owned it, none were available from the dealer in PA who sold me the car. I had regular oil changes. There is no rust anywhere I'm aware of.

Features-WARN manual hubs as mentioned for the 4WD.-Car has added RF modulator inline with the antenna to connect a music player using an RCA cable.-12VDC in cigarette lighter and inside liftgate area. History-I purchased the car about a year ago from a dealer in PA on eBay. Item 310624507023 from uncamikey (3347). He had no records, but the history report came back clear.-I drove the car from PA to Chicago where it has been my daily driver for a highway commute usually off rush hour period. I took a handful of trips out of town. In one year I drove the car about 8,830 miles.-This winter has been very cold and long in Chicago but besides the front hubs, the cold/ice/snow left no damage.-I never used the car as an aggressive four-wheeler (most just used 4wd for icy parallel parking) or drove off-road.-I rotated the tires once after purchasing in November 2013 using a rearward cross pattern. That's why you see the steel rim installed and the alloy wheel on the spare mount.
