Used-JDM Kia Engines For Sale

The minivan segment of Kia Motor Cars introduced an unusual entrant to the auto market in 1999: the Kia Sedona.

Offering a large list of standard features at a cost effective price, Kia has plans to use larger engines in their Japanese minivans in 1999. The Kia Sedona arrived at dealerships the fall of ’99.

At that time it was a strong segment with a lot of opportunity for success. There was a void in the market for an affordable and reliable minivan at a fair price.

The Sedona, which already is sold in Korea and Europe as the Carnival, is powered by a 3.5-liter, 195-hp V-6. The engine is offered only in North America; other markets get either a 2.5- or 3.0-liter V-6, or a 2.9-liter turbo diesel.

The 3.5 Liter engines are very reliable and used in large quantities in both American made and Foreign made cars other than Kia. There are many low mileage used Kia engines on the market that need homes. Two reasons can be cited for the large quantity of used engines for sale.

#1. The JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) is a source of used engines in which cars in Japan lose the ability to meet Japans strict emission laws by 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Enforcing strict laws such as the laws Japan and other foreign countries use leave the owners of these cars in a situation where they have to have a brand new engine installed or simply buy a new car. Most people buy a brand new car.

What happens to the older car? The car is literally cut into component segments, such as the engines and transmissions and other low mileage resell-able parts and shipped to the USA. Once the engine is in America, it is offered to the best used engine suppliers for resale. Then the engines checked in entirety. Compression is checked and then it is run on an engine dynomometer to adjust emissions and make sure the engine runs well and is in perfect running order for your convenience.

#2. Due to the overload of traffic everywhere, and now that people talk on cell phones or text while they drive, we have a lot more accidents on the road. Did you know that a person who is talking or texting on a cell phone while driving has the same attention deficit as a person who is driving a car while having the legal limit of alchohol in their blood? Darn scary!

This provides the recycling yards with plenty of low mileage cars with perfectly good engines in them. Which are only offered to select Engine Replacement Companies that have a reputation for honesty and integrity.

The next issue is why should you trust what I have to say over what our competitors say? There are no words that can address how much effort GotEngines.com puts into outperforming the competition. We put more money into our products than our competition, and a lot less money into sensationalistic advertising. It may be worth the few minutes of time it takes to call them @ 1-888-344-8044 and speak with a trained professional who has time to listen to your problem and needs. Then the solutions can be put in terms you will understand.

As a matter of interest, I have been a mechanic for over 40 years, and owned my own transmissions and engine specialty shop for 25 years. Which I sold 3.5 years ago. I feel well qualified to make certain decisions on parts suppliers because of that. GotEngines.com sells peace of mind and confidence building Kia Engines at wholesale prices. Call and speak with a trained representative now.
