Good day,
I like the car and have actually seen someone that wants to deal and I am just holding off to make up the funds for the deal/purchase.
What are the likely issue.
Should I be scared.

4cyl good deal if everything works perfectly.

V6 personally do not like it, even if everything works perfectly.

There are no bad cars, only cars that should not be badly used.

good evening ma oga, I hail thee from AI how's Lagos treating you?
Re: Please Is The 2004 KIA Sorento A Bad Choice Of Car by emonkey(m): 11:52am On Sep 07, 2017
There are no evil cars only inexperienced users and mechanics. A car is not just a car regardless of what your mechanic says. Do not take a Kia vehicle to a Toyota mechanic unless all you need to do is oil change. The systems are not the same and mechanics have specialities, meaning vehicles they were trained with. I drive a Kia and it is a beautiful machine. A while ago I had a problem with the car and which a very educated "other" mechanic spent a whole day testing and finally assured me would require serious repairs including change of brainbox and other terribly expensive items. A mechanic from a nearby Kia dealership ran the car for only 2 minutes and that was how long it took him to pinpoint the problem. Repair did not put a dent on my bank account. There are no bad cars only inexperienced users and mechanics I again assure you.

Probably not a car you should buy. I have a relation who has been using this car for more than 6 years without complaint . Some cars you must never buy if you are the type that is careless about maintenance. Just find yourself a mechanic who knows about Freelander. If you can find a Landrover dealer , go there and talk to some of the mechanics. They will be pleased to recommend someone I am sure. Never do hit or miss repair with a car that is not common on the road.

I never said I knew anything about the car, only that I know someone who uses the car. Regarding his experience I can't be 100% sure, but I've never seen it towed away... not that such may not have happened when I wasn't looking though.
