looking at a 2004 sedona ex anything I should watch for?

[revkev6]

Hey guys, new to the kia. found a good deal on a 2004 kia sedona EX with 61K miles on it. I'm looking at it this sunday. according to my local kia dealer who was kind enough to look up the vin for warranty work done to it, it has only had the recalls and a TSB (intermediate shaft) done to it.

I see alot of people with AC issues so I will take a good look at that, anything else I should keep my eye out for that is not always obvious??

thanks for all of your insightful replies as to particular things to look out for


I didn't end up getting the sedona because, as usual used car dealers are lying snakes. it was severly dented and scratched on every panel outside with stains ripped interior and missing plastic inside. first signs that it was beat to death. take it for a drive which suprisingly it drove very nice, but there was a clunk in the right front (strut maybe??) a strange growl from the motor on initial takeoff. squealing AC compressor when engaged and the rear heater lines were leaking. so, even for the price of $4,795 with 61k miles on it I decided I didn't want to get myself into that can of worms.

unfortunately it was 120 miles one way for me to find out that it was a POS
