Used SsangYong Korando for sale

What types of used SsangYong Korando cars are there?

With a history dating back to 1982, the SsangYong Korando was born out of a need for rugged SUVs for the US Army and the United Nations. Previously heavily based on the Jeep CJ-7, the Korando has now become a model in its own right.
