With this history report, you will know more about you’re the condition and history of the vehicle so you can buy with confidence.

    Last updated 3 months ago

    Having a family should never be a reason to sacrifice style and performance in a vehicle. That’s why Kia designed its new Sorento with young families in mind, combining a youthful style, highly rated safety features, and all the space you need to accommodate you and your children. Here’s a quick guide to the features this exciting model has to offer.

    Youthful Styling
    A modern take on the crossover, the 2013 Kia Sorento combines the best features of sedans, SUVs, and wagons into one package.  It has a light, easy design, with none of the heavy, thick lines of a typical SUV. With your new Sorento, you’ll find a seamless design that brings all of the features that make crossovers popular options for families on the go.

    High Safety Standards
    While attractive styling is key, by far the most important feature of a family crossover is safety. Rated as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the new Kia Sorrento combines modern features to both protect your family from accidents and prevent them from happening in the first place. The model has all you’d expect from a crossover, including dual front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, and adds available features like a rear view camera and Bluetooth.

Available all-wheel-drive and V6 engine options make it a versatile vehicle, equipped with all the power needed for a trip to the beach or the mountains.

    Buying a New Kia? Here's What You Can Do to Get the Most for Your Trade In

    Last updated 3 months ago

    If you’ve decided to trade in your car for a new Kia, taking a few preparations can help the process go much smoother. Follow these tips to ensure that you obtain maximum value for your used car during your next new Kia purchase:

    Know the Value of Your Trade-In
    You may have a rough idea of the value of your car, but only a non-partial appraisal can give you a number that you can cite with confidence when it comes time for a trade-in. Many dealers offer non-affiliated trade appraisals online, allowing you to enter the make, model, and age of your car, along with any damages it has suffered.

    Clean It Inside and Out
    Your car may run like a dream, but if it’s dirty and unkempt, it will look like any old clunker. Always be sure to give your car a thorough cleaning inside and out before bringing it to the dealer. For older cars, washing and waxing the exterior and vacuuming the interior is usually enough. If your car is newer, you may want to take it to a full-service car wash to have the exterior, interior, and engine professionally cleaned.

    Get Minor Repairs
    While you won’t want to invest in major repairs for your trade-in, repairing minor scratches, dents, and broken components can help enhance its value. More major damages aren’t worth your trouble. Your dealer will simply subtract the cost of any repairs from the value of your trade-in.

    Organize Records
    To help your trade-in go as smoothly as possible, be sure to neatly organize all vehicle records and bring them with when you go to the dealer. You’ll want to gather the car’s title, registration, owner’s manual, and any service records. If you use the same mechanic or dealer to service your car, you’ll be able to get a copy of its full service history.

    When you’re ready to buy a new or pre-owned Kia in Sarasota, Bradenton, or Venice, contact Sunset Kia Group. We sell, service, and repair new and used Kia vehicles, and we take pride in offering fair trade-in values. Call us at (941) 234-4270 to learn more.
