Used 2023 Kia Forte for sale near San Gabriel, CA

I was happy with my first time service and Paul Kim(sales) helped me to book for a reservation. I?m so lucky to meet Paul Kim, who helped me when I needed advise for Lexus vehicles. Moreover, my first time service was great and was done professionally. Thank you again, Lexus Cerritos!

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!

Ahmad was very nice and friendly as a Service Rep. Gave me clear information and he was knowledgeable. Overall, loved the experience. I definitely will come back for the service and refer the dealer to people I know who is looking for a new car. Thanks. Ben Lazaro

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.

Steve Johnson is a very knowledgeable service advisor and provided excellent customer service in a timely manner. I always use Steve as my go to service advisor and he never disappoints.

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.

Zach was very nice and helpful. There was a laundry list of repairs/maintenance needed or recommended, but Zach assured us that the vehicle was in great condition. He helped guide us in choosing what repairs we should start with and what could wait a little longer.

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

10/10 Service from Everett in the service department. Always great customer service and polite.

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.

Had a problem with the service department on Saturday when price at payment time was more then discussed. Left dealer pissed off and called when I got home with a cooler head. Nothing was accomplished so I wrote a review that was seen by upper management. Saturday afternoon a gentleman named Mark called to discuss the issue with me. After talking in order to keep me happy and being a returning customer he first had offered his apology for the misunderstanding then refunded the entire service charge price to me. This showed me they're a stand-up dealership. The icing on the cake was the owner Dave called me on Sunday to apologize and assure me he was behind the total refund. Sherman in Skokie a place ypu can feel your needs will be addressed no matter what they are. I will be back in the future. Thanks again Mark and David!

VERY HAPPY with the service I received, especially my sales person, Anotonio Lopez. Antonio answered all question and anticipated things I did not think to ask. When he was unsure of something he did not make up an answer he got someone who could answer my question. The sales manager Alex and GM Devin were helpful too. This is the second consecutive car I purchased from them. My only issue (my fault) I chose to take Kia's follow up survey. I felt the survey was too long so I just started clicking.

JJ was my sales rep Great people not pushy would recommend to anyone in the market!!

Gabe was very professional, detailed and took his time to show the features in my new vehicle with so much patience. Gabe made the whole experience worth driving almost 2 hours away to purchase this vehicle. Thank you, Gabe

I purchased a certified pre-owned Cadillac XTS from Drew Anderson. The entire process was flawlessly executed. I would recommend Apple Ford to anyone who enjoys good customer service and a feeling of being welcomed the minute I arrived. Thank you for the great car-buying experience! Mark

Jacob Solanic went above and beyond to get us the exact vehicle we wanted. He didn't stop searching until he found it. Professional from beginning to delivery. Thank u Jacob. We will be sending customers your way.

I was fortunate to find a used CRV in my price range at Schaumburg Honda. The sales team was very attentive, had a good understanding of my needs, and was very responsive. I ordered an extra key, and 2 days after purchase when I went to pick it up, the service dept advised I needed both Differential and Transmission fluid changed - $500! The sales department had denied the repairs when the car arrived at the dealership. However the service department advised they were needed. I was very firm with my expectations that these 2 services should have been included in the preparation for sale, and the sales team agreed. They subsequently changed both fluids. Had I not ordered that key, it would have cost me $500 at the next service appointment, and that is not right. The issue was resolved in my favor, however I'm suspicious now. If you purchase from this dealer, ask to see the full detail on the services required that were identified upon the intake of the car, and which ones were actually done in preparation for the sale.

Great staff, everyone was responsive and friendly. I ended up purchasing the car and the process was very smooth. Thanks again!

I recently purchased a used vehicle from Mercedes of Sarasota. Let me start by saying that this isn't somewhere that I would normally be looking for a vehicle. Most vehicles there are way above my price point. They just happened to get a trade-in vehicle that met our needs and our price range. From the moment my wife and I walked in, we never felt out of place. We were greeted with smiles all around. CJ, our salesperson, was fantastic. He was thoughtful and had a good sense of humor, and answered all our questions. Long story short, we purchased the used vehicle (not a Mercedes), and shortly after, we started to notice something wasn't right with the transmission. We brought the vehicle back for an inspection, and that's where they really shined for us. From the sales manager, (I don't remember his name unfortunately) to the service manager Vincent, all the way to the wonderful ladies who set us up with a rental vehicle treated us with respect and kindness. I know this vehicle isn't even on their radar, compared to what they sell on a daily basis there, but you wouldn't know it by the way they responded to my issue. They partnered with GM to have a more in-depth look into the vehicle and found that it needed a new transmission. Not only did they take care of the whole thing, but they moved us into one of their own vehicles that was easily double the price of the vehicle I had purchased from them for the duration of the repairs. If this is the kind of service they provide for a used vehicle that probably ended up costing them money to sell after its all said and done, I can only imagine the service you'd get buying one of the actual vehicles with their name on it. I definitely recommend this dealership, I also recommend you ask for CJ. He was great. Sorry for the long review. It just needed to be said! 😁

I am very impressed with Julio perez, as a sales specialist, he is friendly, and professional! And veryyyyy knowledgeable, with attention to details! And shout out to Robin as well!

It was a great experience Jerry Gonzalez made everything about buying my car so easy and smooth that I will return just because of him

Great service everyone was extremely helpful at Saint Petersburg, Ford. I especially like the sales manager Todd. But everyone was extremely pleasant to deal with.

What a great team, very impressed with the service and effort they put into getting me in my new Jeep. Thank you Kunes Family

Awesome, the staffing I dealt with(Gabriel,Alex & especially Maria)they really went above and beyond to make the deal work. I would DEFINITELY recommend this dealership to friends & family interested or thinking about getting a new car. Thx again
