Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Richland Hills, TX

Second time purchasing from this dealership, amazing experience and Gina Juarez (our salesperson) was great! Prices are fair from the beginning so there is no need to haggle. “Cheap”, “Reliable” and “Hassle Free” don’t normally go hand in hand, but they do at EchoPark!

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!

Our salesman was very personable, and professional. Everyone there was extremely nice. The finance person that they sent us to was also the same and very knowledgeable in answering questions that we had.

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.

Jessica Limones was extremely helpful and helped get me into the vehicle of my dreams. She was very professional and made the experience smooth and easy.

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.

Great prices and fast and friendly people. Would certainly send anyone I knew looking for a Pre Owned vehicle here first. I had the greatest sales Person Serita Miller.

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

recently had an outstanding experience at Vanguard Kia, and I can confidently say this is one of the best dealerships I’ve ever worked with. From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely interested in helping me find the right vehicle without any pressure. The sales staff was knowledgeable and transparent throughout the process, answering all of my questions thoroughly and making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. They went above and beyond to get me a great deal and made the financing process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Vanguard Kia apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Even after the sale, they followed up to make sure I was happy with my purchase and offered support for any future service needs. If you’re in the market for a new or used car, I highly recommend visiting Vanguard Kia. Their honesty, professionalism, and dedication to customer care are unmatched.

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.

They took care of us the moment we walked in. The repairs were completed ahead of schedule. With the coupons the price was quite reasonable.

My reviews goes to the service department, they have an excelent customer service, they keep track and guide you to let you know what services your car really needs I always get very good advice and their waiting room is very confortable, they keep you updated with all the services and then you can make informed decisions based on the continious updates they provide.

Josh McKay was great, he worked with me through and through and i left with a car same day. Excellent customer service and was very relatable and understanding.

Outstanding in environment and friendliness. Almost reminds me of the old "Texas". Karla Reynoso was A👏-Maze👏-ING👏. I didn't even purchase told her my situation and followed through until the end!

Help and friendly service. Answered all questions and helped us find our new car five stars

Luis was great ... very helpful will be coming back for another car when ready... Thanks

I had a great experience with my salesman Olaide Pecku. He is a very genuinely nice man and very knowledgeable and efficient. We closed the deal on a great new truck to our mutual satisfaction. R. Akin

They contacted me immediately. They worked with me to find the best financial optionions. And although the car I wanted sold before I could purchase it, they kept in contact with me while they searched for another car.

LOVE KIA AT IRVING THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE. I WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE THEM.

Suave was our salesperson, he is friendly, funny and courteous. Salesperson , manager and finance person were very professional and respectful of my time and money. This dealership is quite a distance from my home but I’d happily return for another great deal on a vehicle.

I called and inquired about a used Ram truck to confirm it was still available. Alma Turner contacted me and confirmed it was still there. I made an appointment to go in the following morning and met with Gage my salesman I test drove the truck, and it exceeded my expectations I proceeded to make my purchase and all of the staff that I had dealings with were professionals and courteous I highly recommend Gage, and this dealership, if you are looking to buy a vehicle
