Sportage

We just bought one with 81,xxx, 2WD, manuel trans . . . paid $2,930 on the internet which seems to be the going price for a '98. The vehicle needed a tuneup which I did for about $80 in parts and 3 hrs. labor and needs tires and alignment -nothing out of the ordinary.

Ours is rock solid, so far. The engine uses no oil (tail pipe is bone dry brown), transmission and clutch were solid, electronically everything is fine. We're going to buy another one for the other daughter. I have seen them with as much as 140,000 miles on them with owners saying 'still runs solid' , of course, maintaining a vehicle has more to say about this than the model/make.

Good luck,
