Used Kia Forte for Sale in Wood River, IL

Went in for an oil change. They couldn't have been any friendlier. Went to waiting area until my ride would arrive. Wi-if was available, free bottled water, TV, coffee, and vending machines. Salesman (Larry) was very friendly as I looked at a few showroom cars. Surprisingly, they called me that my car was done before my ride arrived! Not only was it finished, but they had washed it, too! When I went to pay - they told me about their 4 X Oil Change Special - it was barely any costlier than 1 oil change!

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.

Jeff did a fantastic job. I loved that he didn't in any way try to pressure me into the sale. Definitely one of the best car buying experiences I've ever had.

Took my 2002 Prowler in for repairs and these guys are the best, because my car is out of date they tried every avenue they could to find my part that no longer existed. I needed this to pass inspection so they wrote me out a form to get the state to understand my problem and got me a deferment.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

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

Buying a car is stressful even if you have a lot of experience. Historically, it has been time consuming, emotionally taxing and most of us go into a dealership with far less knowledge than we ought for a purchase of the magnitude of a car. Salespeople have (understandable) pressures to move inventory and even the most fair-minded is looking to get the highest price they can get away with. It is harrowing at best. With my experience with Carvana, all of these stresses were eliminated. I browsed inventory as widely or narrowly as I wanted, for as long as I needed. I could dictate pricing ranges that were suitable for me. The car I received was *exactly* the car I examined online, right down to some inconsequential bumper scuffs. Beyond this, and *absolutely unlike* any other online business, I could speak to a *real human being* within a few minutes of calling (I had six or seven conversations with Carvana agents over the 3 1/2 weeks from car selection to car receipt). They either had the answers at hand, or researched them and replied promptly with a follow up call. Delivery coordination and drop off (and test drive) were *painless no pressure* experiences???all preparatory contract paperwork was prepared in advance leaving only title transfer stuff to take care of. It took 45 minutes, tops. (I transacted entirely in cash, so I cannot speak to the process when there is financing.) Honestly, the biggest delay was on *my* end getting the insurance transferred (having to wait on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes). The car was 100% was described???absolutely no surprises. The images on the web site for my car were not stock images. What I saw was what I got. Naturally, it was clean, filled up with a full tank, with new tires and the whole nine yards. Even got a ???free??? Carvana reusable coffee cup and key chain. Nice touch. The part that I found the most extraordinary was the 7-day money-back guarantee, which pretty much covers a change of mind unless you get into an accident or drive it a ton (over 400 miles, and even then, they???ll take it back after a modest per-mile-over-400 charge). All in all, I was dreading buying a car (and selling my used one) and Carvana made it pleasurable. I am absolutely recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers and I hope (as a relatively new company) they keep up the excellent work.

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.

Yes, where do I start. Do I start with this being the best car buying experience I've ever had? That would be too obvious. But it would be the absolute honest truth. I think that everyone is so used to going to the dealership. Being there for 8 hours (you should get paid for being there you're there so long). Sales people trying to up-sell you on every little thing that you didn't ask for. Just an all around miserable experience. Then you go to carvana.com. You put in exactly what you're looking for. Exactly what you want to pay and presto you have a wonderful car. I believe it took me 45 minutes to do this entire transaction. From first going on the site and finding my 2016 Chervolet Equinox (maybe 15 minutes). To uploading my paperwork (5 minutes). To being approved (5 minutes). To having the car delivered, taking a test drive and signing the papers (20 minutes). It was the best transactions I've done since finding my husband. I've told everyone I know about this. We've watched videos of other people getting their cars. Too funny. Thank you Carvana for this wonderful experience. Can't wait to get my Husband a car now.

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...

I could not believe how easy - and fast - buying a car could be. I decided a used car was for me, so I started looking online and at local dealerships. All I can say is that that experience was enough to put me off the whole process. Dealer add-ons. Limited or no warranty. ???What are you willing to pay???? Enough!!! I saw an ad online for Carvana, which I had never heard of, and thought ???what the heck.??? Such a great find! From the quick and easy search, to no haggle pricing, to easy payment (I was able to pay cash online, but they also offer financing), to a no-risk 7-day return policy AND an additional 100-day warranty on top of that! There was nothing to lose. It took only a few days for delivery - to my home! - and the paperwork was handled in about 5 minutes. They even had a notary show up! They handle the registration, too - no waiting in line at DMV. Bottom line: I love the car, I got it at a good price, and it could not have been easier. Actually, it???s scary how easy it was. I have to stop myself from looking more on he Carvana website, lol.

I have now had this car for a month, and I really like it so far. I'm getting great mileage compared to my previous car (old car 18mpg all around, new car 26-29 city - 35-39hwy) and it really helps when having to fill up. I have gone through just a full tank in 3 weeks - getting 340 miles per tank or so depending on if I drive it like a jerk which I rarely do. Only negative is that the salesman told me that the car had Kia's EVO system in it, and it does not. Just the standard touch screen which isn't a huge deal to me. Overall impressed, and happy with this car.

We bought a 2012 Honda CR-V LX with 16,671 miles recently. The entire experience was first rate: From searching online for the right vehicle (price, features, condition) to the buying experience and through delivery. Everything was accurate and straight forward. Our new car met all expectations when delivered: Clean. No apparent defects.The items listed as imperfections were barely perceptible. Our test drive before accepting the car was flawless. Our delivery person was friendly, professional and informative. After delivery, I took our new car to our long-time trusted mechanic for an in-depth inspection. He was impressed with all aspects of our new car. His only comments were associated with (1) light under-body rust and original equipment tires with few miles, plenty of tread, in good condition but six years old. All manuals, one full feature key, and one valet key were provided. (Two full feature keys would have been nice.) Documentation of Carvana's 150 point inspection was not provided. This, too, would have been a nice addition to complete the sale documentation. All-in-all, close to a perfect buying experience! So much so that I'm looking forward to purchasing another vehicle from Carvana in the near future.

I love my new car. My last car was a sorento and I was looking to save money and my new changed was perfect for that.

Great Deal, Great Competence. I love my Go Mango Charger R/T, with the blacked out windows, roof spoiler, 19” wheels, and then that sound of the rumble of power!

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

We bought a 2017 Kia Forte. Our sales guy, James, was great. He helped us with all of our questions and found us a good car for our family. Our finance manager, Jason, walked us through the whole process and secured us financing. Thank you!! I would 100% recommend!

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.

Kenny Ladd in the Service department is just wonderful! Helpful and friendly. Definitely going back for future services!!!!

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.

We had a great experience with Gary as our salesman. He sold us the truck 14 years ago that we traded in.. The night we purchased it went smoothly and we were assured we would be given a fair deal on our truck. Next time I will have the dealership tell us ahead of time what they will give us because we had a 2004 1/2 truck and my hubby was looking at trade in values for a 2005 but Jamie said the vin # pulled up a 2004. We ended up getting about 3,000 less than we thought. It wasn't really anyone's fault, just something to learn from. The only other thing we missed out on was $2,000 worth of rebates because the night we purchased was the first 2019 truck the dealership had sold. We couldn't get a 2018 anymore. Not anyone's fault but a bummer that we couldn't get the rebates because obviously nothing is being offered on a new truck. I would definitely buy from these guys again. They treated us fairly and gave us a fair deal.

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

Daniel was awesome. Just looking to shop for a new enclave and I felt comfortable with the good information that he was able to share.

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

Our experience at Lou Fusz yesterday was amazing!! Steve Miller responded to my inquiry on Thursday and we had a car on Friday within our budget!' I told Steve during our first conversation to not waste my time or his if he could not meet my budget and he had options within my budget. The finance manager Ryan was wonderful as well, made sure that we qualified for the best financing available and within our budget. Thank you to the entire Lou Fusz team!!!!

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 have nothing negative to say about my purchase, received a better rate than expected, Dave Chadwick was awesome to deal with, found me the best rate possible, I would consider it a new car rate for a 2015 used car. Dave could of stopped at the Kia certified rate, but found a local credit union that crushed Kia's rate. Shannon McGuire was great to deal with, hooked me up with a set of new floor mats, after the sale I got home and noticed that the car did not have any, and he was very knowledgeable about the car. Do yourself a favor, and remember to take your old plates off your car, this is my first car purchase in over a decade, and after all the excitement of buying my first newer car in 10 years, I forgot to take my old beat up plates off my trade in. The car was taken to auction with the plates on it, and I received a nice little picture of my old 2007 beater in the mail crossing the New Jersey Turnpike which set me back 65.00 bucks, the car looked just as great on the east cost, as it did in Jefferson County. I will go ahead and claim 65% responsibility for this, maybe 70%. I have no idea how my 325,000 mile car made it to New Jersey, I thought it was going to blow up driving from Herky to South County to trade it in. Despite being out 65.00 bucks and my wife screaming at me for being a irresponsible xxx, I have no problem taking my business back to Suntrup Kia South. Ok maybe 75% my fault on the plates.

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

We haven???t had a car in 15 years moving from Chicago, so we were excited to find something that we loved. Caleb is THE BEST! He was professional, helpful and even came in on his day off AND stayed late (because we forgot to get insurance) 🤦🏻??? I would recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a fantastic experience buying their car. Thanks Caleb!

Purchased new and am now going on 104,000 miles. Super reliable, peppy, and affordable. Other than replacing brakes and new tires, the only maintenance needed has been oil changes and suggested manufacturing maintenance. Trunk cargo is HUGE. Great in snow with snow tires. Unfortunately, the engine just started making "ticking " noise. Guess it's time for another KIA!

Great to have Saturday service! Drop off was easy and the care was clean when I came to pick it up. Great facility in the St. Louis area.

Great experience at Carmax at Mid Rivers in St. Louis. We were looking for a low mileage 2014 Toyota RAV4 and we found the SUV we wanted on the lot. In total it was the fastest we have been in and out of a dealership after buying the SUV.

this car you cant beat fuel mileage it gets it gets 38 to 45 mpg on a long trip we bought it one day and lift for virginia the next and we both love it
