I wonder if anyone could give a bit of advice I have owned two Sorento s but had to part with the last one due to family circumstances.My car has died Citreon loads of problem I have found the one underneath the garage said it would be ready Wednesday which was fine but as I had heard nothing after paying the deposit I enquired and they said they are waiting for a new Power Steering Pump. I am getting a bit worried now everyone has said they should be readily available. I wonder if anyone would know also what price the car should be as my son in law has said it is expensive too.I am having a major wobble and as cash is limited and I have elderly relations to care for who live 30 miles away daily journey I can't afford to throw the money away or expensive repairs. The garage were initially great now very offhand. I have paid a small deposit but would rather loose that than the cos of the car.Thanks in advance

It is very low mileage so look at mot this gives the mileage of last 3 or 4 years so you will be able to see if they match up and it has not been clocked. As it is an xs which has TOD 4 wheel drive which are prone to failure check that fuse side of drivers foot well marked TCCS has not been removed or front prop shaft removed. If either of these have been done it will only be 2 wheel drive which will point to it having transfer box fault which is expensive. If you want to avoid this buy an XE model with selectable 4 WD

Also check if it has had the rear suspension checked and the modification done as they are experiencing corrosion and also some fuel tank linings are peeling and Kia are replacing them FOC.
