[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 4245377, member: 7248"] Looking at buying a 2021 Kia Sportage with 59000 miles. I noticed 2 things. The coolant was at the low line of the reservoir and the concerning thing is the stained oils dipstick. The dark staining is above the fill mark to about an inch above the full mark. It looks like varnish. Last documented oil change was about 4500 miles comparing the receipt and the odometer. I should have looked in the valve cover but didn’t think about that at the time. I may go back and check that. The second owner is selling it because “her daughter wasn’t following the rules”. I’m concerned about the staining and probably, at minimum, the lack of maintenance. Any pinions on the stained dipstick? [/QUOTE]
