I have the cheaper version (geo tracker, 5spd, manual hubs, manual windows, locks), and its been a very good truck. Has 98,xxx miles on it now and it still runs great. Prudent driving yields about 28mpg, aggressive or off-road driving about 20mpg. In snowy/slushy weather it always get through without any problems (regular street tires). Biggest issue was the O2 sensor (buggered up threads in the ex manifold). Otherwise, just normal maintenance and upkeep expected for a 4x4. Simple and easy to work on. So far its been very reliable and a good investment.
If your prospective Kick runs good, its easily worth the $1,000-1,100.
