ERNIE'S WORLD OF REALITY

[ErnieBilco]

Why I'm not a used car salesman.......... Honesty???

Besides the family that purchased this Sportage new, I'm the second owner, mileage 146,391.

Since I've owned it I have replaced the fuel pump, crank position sensor and radiator. It is now in need of a water pump and timing belt should be done at same time (parts on Ebay less than $60) due to my health I no longer enjoy working on my cars so I'm replacing it. Other things that should be done, a leaking wheel cylinder(have new cylinder and new shoes for rear), also have fuel filter that should be about ready to be changed. Airbag deployed while car was parked at work so airbags are non functional. Radio needs to be installed (I have both a Kia cassette deck and a CD deck, you get both). It hasn't had a right side mirror since I've owned it and visibility is pretty good without it. The A/C worked well until I broke the tensioner bolt and never bothered to replace it. And as if that wasn't enough the windows are electric and run slow, drivers window doesn't operate at all(think its off track or something) again this never bothered me since the vehicle was a get to work vehicle only. Florida paint but body is straight, tires have tread but have age on them.

Interior is in pretty good shape for a 1997 vehicle, back seat has some staining but I've never tried to get it out.

Been driving it since 2010.

I do not need to sell it so low ball offers will be ignored, if it doesn't sell quickly I will teach my son how to turn a wrench and fix it.
