Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Dulles Town Center, VA

A big shout out and thanks to Dwayne Brinkley this guy is number 1 I highly recommend

Bought the vehicle new in October of 2023. Now it’s March of 2025. Have yet to have an issue🤞though have heard of common problems many have had. I’ve put roughly 20 k miles on the car in a year and a half (mostly interstate driving). Technology package is lovely and the vehicle has an overall stylish feel. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that you’re buying a 20k dollar vehicle from 2023. It’s plastics galore in there, so, though stylish, the material quality isn’t the best. If you’re someone who takes care of your things, you shouldn’t have an issue! Use the maintenance schedule found in the Owner’s manual and this vehicle should get you where you’re going for a reasonable amount of years. That being said, if you’re trying to decide between and LX[S] and GT (not including GT-Line), choose the GT. Though you’re paying a little extra, you get a standard transmission with real gears (the car has more power than you’d think too) rather than the CVT found in the LX[S] (and GT-line). CVT tech has greatly improved within recent years, but they’re still known to be problematic at times. All in all, this generation of Kia seems to be more reliable than most previous gens. Definitely a real deal competitor with the carolla/civic and worth the consideration!

Bought a Kia Telluride from John Sasso. John was great and very helpful. The buying process was very efficient. John even helped us entertain our 2 year old while we were signing papers.

Bought a 2023 forte gt-line for my daughter. We have had the car for 13months and have driven about 12,000 miles. I honestly cannot believe the 1star reviews, nor should you. I was a loyal Honda fanboy for over 30 years before I bought this Kia. I bought a totally loaded Forte non turbo for a hair under 25k with a crazy good warranty. Why not? I figured. 13 months and 12k miles later it rides better, has more power and is quieter than the day we bought it! Zero issues with anything. No squeaks, rattles or interior flaws. Sadly no tire wear. I cannot wait to replace the Kuhmos it came with. It handles great and is fun to drive. My wife calls it “a peppy little thing”. And she drives a CX-5 turbo or my 5.7 liter ram. Over 40 mpg on highway and mid 30s driving around town. This is a fine car. Not a cheap version Hyundai. Much nicer IMHO than the Hyundai. For those knocking the resale… run the numbers and try to buy one as cheap as you say you sold yours for. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds awesome! This is one of my favorite purchases because its value continues to surprise me. And they give a $500.00 military discount. Don’t buy based on my opinions go test drive one! Test drives are free. Go to carvanna or get on car gurus and see how cheap you can buy one a year or two old used one for.

I purchased my GT turbo - automatic in 2021 as 2022 model and my only regret was that didn’t wait for the cooling seats package. Great looking vehicle with above average performance and great fuel efficiency. It’s one of the best affordable sports sedans in the market and one of the few where you can actually fit a 6’ adult in the backseat. I’m looking to add another with my desired package soon.

Edward W. was an incredible salesperson. He was kind, and truly showed concern for me as a customer and making sure that I was happy before I left the lot. He was honest with me when I asked questions, and did not take advantage of me, even though he had the power to do so. I highly recommend this dealership for your automotive needs.

Bought my Forte Gt line at Mathews of Blakley Kia, great salesman ship, i had Dylan, he was very knowledgeable. My Forte is beautiful paid under 23000. and got a car with alot of options other dealers would have charged you for looks great and performs well, i have read other reveiws that slam the kia brand but they have come a long way

This weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to purchase a car from my long-time friend and his amazing team at District Auto Group. Working with Amir and Moe to acquire my 2021 Infiniti Q50 was truly a blessing. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warmth and hospitality that made my son Joshua and me feel like part of the family. I must say it was the best experience I've ever had. Amir and his team went above and beyond to ensure that I found the perfect car. They listened to my wants and needs, answered all of my questions, and helped me find a car that I absolutely love. The entire process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to their expertise and professionalism. Walking out of District Auto Group with my new car felt like a dream come true. Not only did I drive away with a fantastic vehicle, but I also gained an extended family in Amir and his team. Their genuine care and dedication to their customers shine through in every interaction. I can't recommend them enough to anyone in the market for a new car. If I could give 100 stars I would!!! Thank you for providing me with such an exceptional experience! 🤗

I bought this vehicle in February of 2023. I have approximately 9,000 miles on it and it has performed flawlessly. It is very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage. Mine is Red (currant red) with black interior.

No hassle from sales to financing ,best pressure free car buying,I have ever experienced. Would and have recommended to all looking to buy

The visit for service was uneventful. I waited, informed of what was needed & when it would be ready. Had a cup of tea, finished emails and then my car was ready.

Could not have been better, Jim was great, the finance process was very fast and easy. Alan the finance manager was also very helpful. Thank you

This has been the best experience at purchasing a vehicle, my salesman was Lonnie and he was absolutely amazing and walked me through everything. I will definitely comeback again. Great job

Carmax is by far the best company that will go the extra mile to help you reach your Hope's and dreams and they did. Thank you.

I am buying a used car after 8 years, and this was great experience. No haggle is what I care. I was not forced to buy GAP insurance or anything else. The only complaint is, the lady taking down payment at the cashier was hesitant to tell me the details of the transactions before making a payment and showing attitude, but everyone else was great. I highly recommend this carmax.

Recently purchased a vehicle through Nabil in sales. He was great to deal with. No pressure and explained the different options for purchasing the vehicle. He also took his time showing me the vehicle without making the process seem hurried. I came back a couple of times before deciding and each time he was courteous and patient. In finance, I dealt with Noah who was equally outstanding and professional. He went over various financing options with me and explained to me the pros and cons of each, leaving the ultimate decision to me. I’m happy with my purchase from Koons and their courteous and professional staff.

Amazing experience at the dealership. We are thrilled to have our vehicle. Kevin Garcia was amazing from the first interaction to the keys hand off. Highly recommended!!

I commend DARCARS Customer Relations for speedy resolution of my remote start and service department issues. Once again thank you Customer Relations and a special thanks to Mr. Iman, Corporate Service Director.

The sales associate I working with was great, very accommodating as I had children with me. It was a bit difficult because they were renovating at the time I was there and they usually have a kids area. I?m sure it will be a little easier when everything is finished. The only slow part was actually signing the papers for the vehicle purchase because the business office was behind and what was originally predicted to me to take one hour took almost 2.5 hours.

The website was accurate and the employees were helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for.

Nelson Mercado is truly an exceptional car salesman who goes above and beyond in delivering an outstanding customer experience. From the moment I walked into the dealership, Nelson's unparalleled customer service stood out. His knowledge about the vehicles on the lot was impressive; he provided detailed insights into features, performance, and pricing, ensuring I had all the information needed to make an informed decision. What sets Nelson apart is his transparency and honesty throughout the process. He was upfront about all costs, financing options, and didn't hesitate to address any questions I had. His professionalism, from a well-groomed appearance to a courteous demeanor, created a positive and comfortable buying environment. Nelson's listening skills were remarkable. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, guiding me towards the perfect vehicle. His negotiation skills demonstrated a keen understanding of finding a mutually beneficial deal. Even after the purchase, Nelson didn't stop providing exceptional service. He followed up to ensure my satisfaction and promptly addressed any concerns. I ultimately bought a Honda Pilot 2014 from him, and the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. In summary, Nelson Mercado is the epitome of an outstanding car salesman. His dedication to customer satisfaction, combined with his knowledge, transparency, professionalism, and excellent communication skills, make him a standout professional in the automotive industry. I highly recommend Nelson to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable partner for their car-buying journey.

Bought my daughter’s first car from here! They were so professional and quick. Helped her find her dream car and were very patient. The service was exceptional and I am definitely coming back to upgrade my car with them in the future. Couldn’t be happier with my car purchase and a I highly recommend this dealership. They will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

The team at Carmax Gaithersburg was amazing! So appreciate their patience, attentiveness, and professionalism! Great job!
