The same Theta II engine recalls affect many 2011–2019 Optima, Sorento and Sportage models — confirm recall work. Some older models lack immobilizers, making them theft targets. Check for oil consumption and knocking noises.
Whatever the model, always run a VIN history report, check that the name on the title matches the seller's ID, and have an independent mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection. Use our 50-point used car inspection checklist on the test drive.
