Used Kia Optima for Sale in Asheville, NC

We looked for about 6 weeks and spent hours at 7 different area dealerships. We were wanting to upgrade from the Kia Soul we had to something that would seat an extra person comfortably and had AWD and most importantly, something that would fit within our budget. We were very specific and upfront as to what we could afford. We had "fair" credit (634) and a fixed monthly budget. We went to Hyundai of Asheville because we had purchased most recently there. Horrible experience! Lots of young, wet-behind-the-ear staff. We were told in a very condescending manner that we had "unrealistic expectations" and that was after we were pressured into staying past the time we told them we couldn't do what they offered. We went to Kia and had a great experience with Ben Brendle, but weren't able to get an APR we were comfortable with financing. Brandon Braswell said he'd keep working on it. A couple weeks went by and we received a phone call saying that they had something for us. We returned to Paramount Kia and met Jodi Biltoten. We arrived about 6:00pm after my husband got off work. Jodi showed us an AWD 2015 Sorento with less than 25,000 miles and certified pre-owned. We test drove it and it was exactly we had been looking for - complete with optional third row seating for extra passengers. Jodi was very knowledgable and extremely helpful and SUPER nice. Brandon Braswell was able to take our Kia Soul in trade and worked with banks to get us an APR that was 2.0% less than what we'd been offered at the other dealerships! Jordan Ogle was very thorough with explaining our paperwork and answered all questions. We have been thrilled with our deal and new-to-us SUV. Thanks again for all your hard work, Jodi, Brandon, and Jordan. Especially since we were there until 11:00pm...3 hours after closing! Paramount Kia has the same great customer service and professionalism that they claim to have in their advertising.

This car has EVERYTHING! I purchased the EX with the Premium package and there's not really much more I could even think of putting into a car... maybe massaging front seats? That's really it. I bought this car primarily for commuting in and out of the city and I don't even mind sitting in traffic anymore. I just slide open the sunroof, turn up the music, pop on the ventilated front seats, and take my foot off the gas while the stop and go cruise control deals with the congestion. The only gripe I really have with the car is that it's slow to accelerate from a stop. The engine doesn't lack for power, but when you really need to make that turn before the next wave of vehicles blocks your path, there is about a 1 second delay after you slam on the gas before the vehicle will launch. Could definitely lead to an accident if you're not expecting that delay. Otherwise the drive is smooth and it accelerates quickly afterwards. 100% recommend this car to any budget conscious techy.

Knowing we had to find a more efficient car, and the fact both our gas guzzlers were worn out, led us to Paramount. We gathered all the information we could and found the the Kia Soul was a great all around vehicle for active folks. Also my friend who doesn't like anything.....has a new Soul! We were very spoiled by everyone at the dealership and didn't have to do anything but sign on the line! Cool huh? Thank you Anthony and all for your great help! Love the car and who knows, I might get to drive it some day! Sincerely, Dale Corn.....🤗

Our experience with the Hunter staff was pleasant. They were not pushy and were helpful in getting the car we wanted. The only recommendation for improvement is expedition of the finance process. Otherwise it was a good experience.

The OPTIMA 2015 was a good car to own for me. The look and color was right, driving the car felt sexy with speed, I saved a lot of money on gas. BUT, the passenger seat was too low. NEEDED the SEAT Lumbar support and Seat Cushion Height. OVERALL NICE CAR TO HAVE. PS The maintenance plan was Affordable

I HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR A TOYOTA TACOMA FOR MONTHS THAT WAS NOT ATE UP WITH MILES AND OVER PRICED, STOPPED BY KINGS AUTO SALES ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON 10/2/16 AND TALKED WITH GRAYSON ABOUT A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT WAS ON THERE LOT. HE SHOWED ME EVERY INCH OF THE VEHICLE AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. WENT INSIDE AFTER DRIVING IT AND GRAYSON SENT IT TO ONE BANK AND GOT ME APPROVED WITH A 3.99% INTEREST RATE. GREAT PLACE TO BUY, AND VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. GRAYSON WENT ABOVE AND BEYOD TO HELP ME WITH MY PURCHASE. VERY FAST AND EASY! CALL THEM BEFORE LOOKING ALL OVER THE PLACE FOR A VEHICLE.

Great car and great stereo system, one of the best good on gas as well. The car is also fast believe it or not, I was surprised.

Charles (C.J.) and I scheduled a time to meet this Saturday. He was prepared to meet with me that morning. We drove several cars to make sure I was receiving the car that would be best for my family. The trade-in value we received for our two cars was generous, and I received the employee discount that is being advertised right now. Even the monthly payment is reasonable. Thanks, Sunshine Chevy!

Very clean and fast, I can’t wait to do a long family trip in it. My oldest fell asleep after school after about 5 minutes

I got an absolute steal on a low mileage lifted Tacoma that's the envy of all who behold its magnificence. I couldn't be more proud of my truck, or more pleased with Sam & Dave's. I contacted Sam & Dave's through their website and got a response from Jonathan within hours. I called him and told him which of his trucks caught my eye, expressing that it was near but not quite within my budget. He was direct and no-nonsense in responding with the lowest price he could offer, with no sales pressure whatsoever. I struggled over the next week to find a better deal on the same truck anywhere from Southwest Virginia to South Florida, both from auto dealers and from private owners. I couldn't. My credit union loan agent was even impressed with the price. Jonathan continued to honor the price he quoted me with steadfast honesty. There were no doc fees or any other unpleasant surprises: the price he quoted was the exact dollar amount of the check he accepted (not including tax and tags of course, which I'll handle at the county clerk's office back here in TN). He even agreed without debate to fill up the gas tank, give it a wash, and replace a missing tire valve stem cap while we completed the sale. A few people have given Sam & Dave's unfavorable reviews. Most seem to come from customers expecting the reliability of a new Honda from cars of unreasonable age or mileage. Caveat emptor, people. If your budget is less than 10 grand, you're going to end up with someone else's problems. On the other hand, if you limit your choices to vehicles with low mileage, I think you'll be pleased with Sam and Dave's.

This car is awesome. It has pretty much everything I wanted. The only thing is there is not a charger port in the back seat of the vehicle.

I LOVE my 2018 Kia Optima SXL. Car is fully loaded. 360 degree camera, Nappa Quilted leather, led exterior AND interior lights, pano sunroof, rear USB ports, front AND rear heated seats, front cooled seats, rear sun shades, and etc. Brought the car used from a reputable dealer in Ohio, got a GREAT deal, saving thousands! Test drove a few of its competitors ( Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Chevy Malibu) . This car wasn’t even on my list. I am so HAPPY HAPPY , oh did I say HAPPY with my first new car purchase...and my family and coworkers are. My recommendation... if you’re looking for a mid size car, test drive on of these! Thanks Kia for making a Stylish, spacious, sexy, sporty, and safe car ( the 5 S’s)!!!!!

Chad Baldwin and Carl Searcy were the epitome of GREAT customer service. I stopped by, without an appointment, and they assisted me in a very timely manner to the best of their ability. Although they couldn't immediately fix the problem, a moon roof which wouldn't close, they were able to give me a temporary fix, until parts could be ordered and a final repair made. Hunter is blessed to employ such a fine group of guys! Keep up the good work!

I am a big and tall guy 6'5 and I had plenty of leg room in the 2019 Kia optima. I am a tech guy so I love all the tech features in the New kia optima and the panoramic roof is nice! The engine has get up and go and it's a 4 cylinder! Roomy trunk, just a great car
