What are my rights on taking legal action against Kia for selling me a defective 2001 Kia Sportage?
limemonkey1 asked:
It requires costly repairs almost every couple of months, I just can't keep throwing my money away. Besides getting rid of the vehicle, can anyone help me figure out how to legally get Kia for selling this piece of junk to me? I'm financially stripped and extremely stressed out over this.

if you brought it new from the dealership , you should have state lemon law protection !

hire a lawyer!!!!……that is much too complicated a case to try and handle yourself……there have been cases where owners get value back but considering the age of the vehicle I doubt any lawyer will take it…..the problem you have is how much repairs were made to the car when it was new and whether or not it falls under lemon law!!! get a lawyer…they can answer those ??'s

It depends where you live, how long ago you bought it, and whether you bought it as is.

I'm guessing you have no legal recourse against Kia motors at this time. Your truck is now 7 years old and all warranties are now invalid. Your truck is old, so of course you will have more repairs now, that is why cars lose value after new puchase…they only last a short time before repairs are needed. Your 2001 Sportage probably is only going to fetch $1500-2500 on the used market, if you are ready to buy a new car then go ahead and sell your old car. For reference, a new 2008 Kia Sportage V6 will cost you $20K, so that is about $370 a month for 5 years plus higher insurance costs. Maybe it is time for a new car or a newer used car, but don't blame Kia, all cars age and require repairs as they become obsolete.
