Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near Rumson, NJ

Purchasing from this dealership was a match made in heaven. Everything was flawless from start to finish. They put all effort in for me to obtain my desired vehicle. I Personally would like to offer major thanks to Jonathan Marte being the captain of the entire transaction, helping me from the moment I stepped in to the second I left the lot.

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!

I had a wonderful experience working with Ritsi at NJ state auto! Ritsi greeted us with a smile and was there to listen to our needs in a new vehicle. I was trading in a vehicle and she was thorough and worked with us to make the process as easy as possible. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great car buying experience. Thanks Ritsi!

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.

In and out in less than 90 minutes and car blew away my expectations. Thank you guys !

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.

Anthony Spinalli is easy to deal with. He heard mine and my wifes needs and delivered

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

thanks to service advisor cole craven. he help me today from big problem for my honda accord 2017. he he help to change converter under the warranty. before he was told me if any problem direct come to me. thanks him for his help.

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.

Excellent experience. Superb help from Hoss A. Special ordered vehicle that came precisely as requested

They are so good they sold the car before i could put a deposit. Would definitely work with them again!

Great team (Chris, Ruben and service guys) Worked with me based in what I needed in my used car purchase. Straight shooters. No games. Excellent customer service and followup from Ruben.

Amazing experience anyone in the market for a car this is the place to visit. Such a respectful and professional staff. Great prices

They were very helpful and willing to work with me to get my car. Would recommend to others. Happy with my car. Just love it

Got an amazing deal on my 2024 Kia Sportage EX hybrid. Really happy with my new car!

Outstanding, professional, honest customer service. Specifically, our sales consultant, David Thomas was extraordinary in his sales approach/style, honesty, working with me as a valued customer and truly caring for the best deal for me as his customer. He is an outstanding asset to Edison Nissan and will surely recommend him to my friends.

My experience with this dealership is always great. Both Manager Jose Landaverde and Advisor Evelyn Carrasco were very helpful. The entire staff were great to work with.

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided and have been coming to here for close to 10 years.

Yes, I visited the dealership yesterday on route 130 of course and I got service done for a leaky tire. Steve Pilate and Jay are the best around. They treated me good with respect the police was clean and the coffee was good.

This is the second time I dealt with Hector Davila from Kia-Freehold. As always he exceeds my expectation. Help me get a Telluride a few years back and now he was able to assist me the 2025 Kia Carnival Ex. It's always been a pleasure working with Hector.

Absolutely fantastic. Extremely friendly and accommodating. I have been bringing my cars here for several years now and have always been extremely satisfied. Matt and Jen are awesome!
