Used Kia Forte for Sale in Gastonia, NC

I was shopping using the internet looking for a 2010 Tacoma Sport. My wife's friend has a Tacoma and my wife has been wanting 1 for a long time! First, the color had to be Gray as well. Thus, I discovered Toyota of Gastonia by clicking on a ad that was displayed by one of those sites like cars.com or Carfax. When I read the ad I went to the dealerships website. This Tacoma met all of our criteria to seriously consider or purchase. I clicked and sent a email inquiring about the truck. I received a prompt response from Dan, their internet contact sales person. Now this began on Wednesday morning, April 19,2017. I ask Dan all the questions I had about the Tacoma, which were a few because there was only 2 outside photos due to it just being put on their lot. It had not been detailed yet it was so recent. Dan answered every question truthfully and told me everything even though it might mean I could say, oh well and pass on it. The only thing wrong were some small scratches that I would expect to see on a 2010 truck. Besides, now I don't have to worry about scratching it because I use a truck to haul things in. Then it was down to price, price, price! I think we had about 37 emails back and forth before it was quitting time. Dan faxed some info to my personal financial lender and I told Dan I was planning to drive up Thursday and test drive the Tacoma. Unfortunately I was unable to go, due to a unforeseen situation. But we did hammer out the financials and had a tentative agreement on price if I decided to purchase it. Dan was a fantastic person to work with. No pressure on anything during the process. Plus he went above and beyond in working with my lender, in showing the value of this particular truck. The new plan set was that my wife and I would drive up first thing Friday morning. I live in SC, 2 hrs away from the dealership. I told Dan to expect us around 10:30. Dan said that Rick would be the sales person who would be taking care of us upon our arrival. We arrived around 10:15, and were greeted by Rick. After introductions Rick took us outside to show the truck. Just walking up to it I was smiling and already loving it so far. Rick did a walk around showing me every scratch (really just a couple surface ones) or nick on the bumper. Dan had done a very good job describing the truck and any thing that one might consider a flaw on it. The interior looked just about in new condition. The detail person(s) did an outstanding job on the exterior and interior. And pardon the pun, but they paid attention to every detail on it! Then I got to give it a good test drive. On the interstate, through town, and some curvy roads. When we came back to the dealership Rick asked what did I think. I just smiled and said we want it and lets go do the paperwork. Rick took us inside and began the process of purchasing the Tacoma. Rick put us at ease with his calm manner and made us feel like we were old friends. Rick went over all the particulars regarding the purchase, explaining in detail what the paper work presented meant. After everything was finished that Rick had to do, he ran the paperwork to the dealerships financial personnel. Then we were escorted to that office and did the official signing of all pertinent documents. Then the truck officially became my responsibility as the new owner. Then, a problem of my own doing. I didn't bring my tag to transfer. Rick came and saved the day. Rick was able to furnish a tag to get me home on with just my word to bring it back the following Monday. I was driving back home by 1 o'clock. Dan and Rick, due to their professionalism, honesty, demeanor, and go the extra mile and always doing the right thing for me has gained Toyota of Gastonia, a customer for life. That you can count on! We've told all our friends how well we were treated by everyone and one is even going to contact the dealership for a future purchase, I can only speak for myself, but I was totally impressed with the whole process!

I think I will have this vehicle for years. I love the way it drives and the feel of it. Thank you for the assistance

I love this car. Rides beautifully even at 75 on interstate. So economical. Comfortable. Great for the average family. Better than the Camry I owned.

Traded in a 2012 I had similar to this car for the 2015 version because I wanted a sunroof. I also liked the color and the fact that it was sporty. Got lots of compliments driving it, was comfortable an really hate to get rid of it because I liked it a lot but trying to purchase either a classic car or a motorbike for the summer plus I really could use the cash!

17 inch wheels give fairly rough ride the stock tires are not very good in the snow 2 inches deep Elaine control automatic turns off at just the wrong moment but works fine most the time mine seems to want to hug the right Side of the lane

My wife and I came to Victory Chevrolet to buy a used car. Joe Harrison, the salesman, spent hours with us going from lot to lot looking at various used cars. When we finally agreed on one, we couldn't come to terms on it. I mentioned that we were close to an offer we had at another dealership on a new car. Bryce Gandy, Vice President, then put together a deal using various incentives beating the other dealer's offer, an offer we couldn't refuse. At times I wondered during the roughly eight hours we were there, how many times do they go to this much trouble for nothing? Joe and Bryce were great, and made us very comfortable during the whole process of making the deal. Then I thought, how long will it take in the finance office. Randy Lee made the purchasing process quick and efficient, more so than any new car purchase I've ever made. Joe, Bryce, and Randy made this the best and least stressful new car buying experience (7 total) we've ever had. Thanks to Victory Chevrolet for being a first class business!

I've only had it 1 month but love it so far. It is a basic model but rides good, plenty of room, gas mileage is pretty good, looks beautiful.

Quick and great service done right! Provided a great loaner, explained the process, checked and fixed a factory call backs. I recommend to come here if you want it done right!

This car has everything I need. I love the integrate and hands-free features. It's very roomy. It has "get-up-and-go" when I want it, etc. I love it.

Great experience and nice selection of late model cars. Friendly staff. Wasn't sure if I would get approved but was approved in just a few minutes.

I love the room in the backseat ,my husband is disabled and uses a walker, there is plenty of room in the backseat to put his walker. Love the way it drives and all the bells and whistles

I just bought a new car from your establishment and I could not be happier. Brandi Hardin was professional, sweet, nice, helpful, all around wonderful. Brandi listened to our needs and actually guided us along the path we wanted to take. She was mindful of our concerns and pleasant to deal with. She worked with us on every detail of the car buying process. Brandi even followed up woih a phone call the next day to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend JTs KIA of Rock Hill and Brandi.

great mpg it is a good ride for such a small car I drive 100 miles a day and average 40 miles to the gallon driving in country at 55-60 mph

Car was sold already, but Harvey took time to get back to me. Their dealer fee is more reasonable than most. Would like updates in internet sites that are more timely.

I bought the lowest trim LX with 6 speed manual. The standard features are impressive. I use the heated seats and heated steering wheel almost every chilly morning. AC, PW,PL,Cruise, 8" touch screen,steering wheel controls, 4 wheel disk brakes,heated steering wheel and seats.....The tech in this ""base" model is unreal. I would have had to pay $7K more for a Corolla with the same features. Excellent value, design and well built. The interior is very nice with soft touch surfaces. The exterior is sporty. You won't be embarrassed to own this compact car. Kia Forte is a pleasant surprise and not a secret any longer for those who recognize value. Less moving parts under the hood because it's a non turbo. It'll run forever without issues and Atkinson cycle will save you gas . Good city run about and do not regret purchase.

This was one of the best car buying experiences that I have ever had. Todd and the other staff at this store were very pleasant to work with.

I love the driver lane assist and the fog lights and the moonroof! Also the Apple Car Play makes it so much easier to access phone. the trunk space is AMAZING!

Bought this car a day ago and behind the wheel is peeling not to happy about this at all but love the outer look and the seats and drives great

This car is amazing, it looks like a luxury car on the inside, drives really smooth, looks very sleek on the outside. It’s great on gas.. i love my car.

More luxury more sound system Volume more boom no back window the speakers no cruise control or heated seats passengers have complained not enough air conditioner coming back the backseat

Looks small but has lots of space inside. Very comfortable. Good performance. Lots of helpful features. Used it for grocery shopping, long distance trips. Hauling computers to LAN parties etc...

Love the lane assist, apple play ,three driving modes, easy steering and shifting, ride quality, low highway noise, best car I have ever owned for the money

I have been car shopping for a out 7 months now, and a friend referred me to Hendrick City of Chevorlet.. Ebony Board greeted me with the most amazing smile. ... Immediately I knew she was going take care of me as of I was at home.... a made me feel very very welcome a d didn't pressure me about buying.. She stated that she wasnt a salesman ..but that she was a customer service expert ... I would rate City of Chevrolet 10 starts because of Ebony.. Someone give her a raise . But I really enjoyed the hospitality from everyone... I will be coming soon to purchase my vehicle.....

This is a pretty good car for the price. Fuel economy is very good. It performs well. I would consider buying another Kia if it was from a different dealership.

I've been thinking about how to write this review without making it too long. There is just no way around it. It might be a little long.. I'm a retired senior citizen with a limited budget. My wife and I searched the internet for over two weeks researching the car we wanted in the Charlotte area. We found many but either the price was too high or the miles were. Then we thought we found it at Adams. They had a lot of good photos, we loved the color and it was a top of the line model. It had extras like leather interior, a moon roof, and a 12 speaker sound system with 360 watts of power! (I was a teen in the 70's and that thing can really put out some some great sound!) It also had low mileage and a great detailed carfax. I called to see if it was still there and it was. I told the person on the phone THAT was the car I was interested in and it had to fit my monthly budget. I told them what my monthly payment could not exceed and if I drove there to see it I needed to know it fit my budget. The next morning I got a call telling me they could hit my number and to come on down to see and test drive it. We went down, drove it, and loved it. Of course I just knew they were going to tell me my payment would be either what I told them or a few dollars more. Not only did Jason Dunham (Sales Manager) come in and tell me my payment would be $20.00 BELOW my budgeted number, but also he gave us a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty at no additional cost! Also, our final price included sales tax and licence fees. It was raining when we I got in to drive it home. When I got home I noticed a small "scuff" on the left corner of the rear bumper. My wife said "oh let it go! it's nothing..." After I reviewed the pictures and it wasn't there I called Adams and told them "I know I took possession and took it off the lot and take full responsibility for doing that, but can you do anything?" Well, Jason told me to bring it back and they would look at it. I brought it back and Jason said"of course I will fix that". So I took it back for the repair. Since we have such a unique color car and it is 3 years old they decided if they only pained that corner there may be a problem with a perfect match. Therefore, I had to leave it overnight as they decided to paint the entire bumper! No charge to me! It is a perfect match! I have bought many new and used cars over the years but NO ONE has ever treated me with such respect as Jason, and Henry. If you are looking for a great car for a great price you need to give Adams a try. You will not regret it!

This car meet all my needs. Excellent customer services in the dealer Phil Smith Kia that give us a lot of previous information that made us feel a proud owner. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology. Very quiet, and smooth

I just want to thank Mr Renee for his professional act of kindness in quick process in get me and my wife???s our Grand Caravan we are so happy and excited about our new vehicle you and Amanda and Mr Jeremy were great thanks again God Bless you guys.😄😎😅

We have not had theForte a little over a week. To this point the only issu is getting used to the layout of the controls. Being a creature of habit sometimes it takes w while to get used to something new but so far everything is great.

Love the fuel economy of this KIA Forte the ride is nice comfortable and quiet it has all the standard features needed for a EX except cruise control and a spare tire would be nice instead of a inflation kit other than that it is a well liked vehicle I hope it gos 200K miles time will tell of the longevity of this Kia it will be well maintained and cared for

James Lawrence made my experience absolutely amazing. I couldn???t have asked for a better salesman. One of the Best experiences I have had buying a new car. I will definitely be recommending you guys! Thanks James! You rock!!😊

This car is an awesome car with great features. I enjoy all the diffrent things it does it good on gas and has great power for speed. Very comfortable.
