Does anyone know the general reliability of a 2007 Kia Amanti with the 3.8L engine and 5 speed automatic? Any major known issues? I have not been able to find much info on this online. Found a very cheap one in my area with 67k miles. Seller says there is nothing wrong with it at all (but I would st…

You do realize that there is not an answer for the question . No one can predict reliability of a 17 year old car. Of course the seller says there is nothing wrong with it . Why do you need the transmission model ? If it breaks then a shop will find out what they need to replace it with. Just go …

Personally I would not buy any Kia/Hyundai… The transmission is a A5HF1 Hyundai/Kia that was introduced in 2006… It does appear to have some issues with the Pressure Regulator Spool Valve wearing out the bore in the valve body as well as the TCC Control Spool Valves that also wear out the bore in …

OP, how cheap is “very cheap”? Cheap enough, and with a pre purchase inspection by a good mechanic, it might be worth the risk and trouble to get several months use out of it.

Personally I don’t consider any 17 year old car a “reliability” buy but if you’re willing to consider a similar “low sales volume” vehicle, maybe a 2013-2014 Hyundai Azera at under $5,000 may be a better buy? Seven years newer and more dealer.

Hey guys so after more research I am more strongly considering a toyota. I already have a fun car and just want something as reliable as possible for around 4k~ I found a 2006 Avalon with 158k for 4k, passed Virginia state inspection in January 2024. This seems like a better bet. I’ve considered new…

See if you can take the Avalon for a half hour ride or borrow it overnight and take a longer test drive. I test drove a new 2017 (same generation) and found the driver’s seat back was uncomfortable. It might be fine for you, and a long test drive will show that. If it passes the long test drive and …

Azeras are $10k+ in my area. An older Avalon sounds good, as long as it is decent shape and the seat is comfortable for the OP.

2007 Kia Amanti Reliability?

Other than on CarComplaint’s I can’t find a lot either, It was compared at the time to the Toyota Avalon for less money but wasn’t really as good of a car. Styiling really didn’t help because it looked like a Mercedes E Class with a Jaguar grille and a little bit of Buick to boot. Only sold a little over 5,000 that year compared to around 74,000 Avalon’s.
