Yes, I just picked up an 02 Sportage with 70K for $500 as a second car. Just wanted to see if there where any specials things to keep in mind with these cars...ie; common problems, things to fix right away...etc. Also, are there any good sites to check out that are Sportage specific...thanks...

Replace the timing belt!!! Mine had 72k miles when timing belt broke. Fortunately, no valve damage. Don't forget to replace water pump and both pullies, also.
