Used Kia Optima for Sale in Columbia, SC

We are messaging to praise Ayan Martin for assisting us in the purchase of a new automobile. No offense, but automobile purchasing is usually a horrible experience. Perhaps it is a reflection of the dealership as a whole, but we encountered two wonderfully professional people as we purchased our new car. Specifically, Ayan Martin was a pleasure to work with and we would be delighted to do so in the future. Additionally, the business manager was most helpful and efficient in finalizing our purchase. We are extremely pleased that we purchased our new car at Galeana Kia and will be referring others to Ayan Martin in the future!

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

John was very professional and knowledgeable. I will come back to buy a vehicle from him when I'm ready. Don't ever let him go. STAND UP GUY! John Jennings, I'll come back just for you.

Really impressed with this dealer especially our experience with David Bugosh. David was very professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful! See David for your next auto purchase at Fred Anderson Toyota of Columbia, you won't be disappointed!

I enjoy the car very much thus far ...what concerns me though is the fact that the 2.5 litter that I have in my optima had a recall for lower end knocking .... which turned out to be a huge recall

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.

I am impressed with the Optima, as I was interested in a Cadenza coming in. This size turns out to fit me well. I highly recommend this car.

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.

Went to look for a used car for my mother. the sales guy was good and had lots of cars for us to look at even tho we didn't buy.

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.

rotors get rusty and sound like their grinding when applyingbreaks, expensive to fix. 16500 current miles . Rotors quality is poor. Check before buying. Thanks

I started looking for a new car (because my step-daughter was inheriting my vehicle) in the winter of 2016. It took me until July of 2017 to find a car I adored and a dealership I trusted. Ironically, I traveled all over NC and SC to find a car, and ended up buying from a dealership less than 5 miles from my house. My salesman was Allen. Allen was professional and courteous. When my wife emailed him about the vehicle (she saw it online), he responded to her email immediately. He was honest and forthcoming, and I appreciated that. He was knowledgeable about the car during the test drive, and answered all my questions and then some. He worked with me negotiating the price, and afterward, he helped me schedule the paperwork in advance because I was planning on heading out of town for the weekend. Even though he had sold multiple vehicles that day, he made me feel special and important. Every question I had, he had a response that assured me everything would be OK. Not to mention, within the first week of having the car, I found a small (the size of a grain of rice) piece of paint missing from the driver's side door, and Allen told me I could bring it in and have it repaired, free of charge. And that is precisely what happened. When I texted, he texted back; when I called, he answered. He was truly amazing. Mr. Joseph really helped me understand the financing portion of the purchase - even though I was paying cash, he simplified the process and broke it down so I could understand it. He even helped me purchase a service package, and explained the benefits. His efforts saved me a ton of stress and even more money in servicing visits over the years. He was great! Overall, this visit was so easy and stress-free. I would certainly recommend this dealership! A+ all the way!

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

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)!!!!!

I received a call from Curtis Smith on Wednesday... He got me riding in a brand new 2017 KIA forte by SATURDAY! He was able to get me approved quickly and easily with zero down. I had my two daughters age 2 &3 with me which was major struggle but he remained patient anf had a great sense of humor about it. I will definitely be recommending Curtis with JT'S KIA to all my friends and family. Great job!

Met my needs as anticipated at time of purchase , I wanted good gasoline mileage and a CPO warranty. The bickering I purchased met all of my requirements.

My car fits my personality and my salesman quickly identified the perfect vegicle for me. Than you Calvin Worthy. I will shop with you again.

You get FIVE stars from me, which is highly unusual! We were going to the Orangeburg dealership for our oil changes, but they are only open Monday through Friday and don't do nearly the same amount of "checks" ya'll do! The employees at JT's Kia have been nothing but really, really helpful. Even though I have to drive 30 minutes more to reach ya'll, I'll do so! Have a great New Year and glad to five you FIVE STARS! (I normally give three stars, at best!)

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

Excellent customer service! Great response time on repairs. Bill Foster is the man you need to see to get your needs satisfied. Won’t let you down. Wes

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.

job was done in a timely manner , letting me continue with my day , good costumer service with a smile

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.

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.

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.

Great dealership and great product. I highly recommend KIA and Galeana to anyone.

The Kia Optima is hands-down the best car I have ever owned very comfortable stylish classy it’s always been my dream car now I drive one! Lucky Me my next car will be a Kia optima!

Sales person and manger were very friendly and helpful. We went into the dealership knowing a particular Honda CR-V Touring was what we wanted. First I test drove a similar Honda CR-V Touring which gave us a lot of insight in the features and feel of the vehicle. The dealership needed an hour or two to locate the mislabeled keys for the vehicle we ultimately bought. That vehicle was test driven by my wife and she was very pleased. It had all of the equipment we wanted, the exterior color (modern steel metallic) was acceptable (ideally wanted lunar silver metallic) and the gray interior was exactly what we wanted. We went through the standard process with Adrian, our salesperson, who showed us the list price and asking if that was okay, then on our initiative the price was reduced to that advertised on the internet and a short time later( after Adrian discussed it with his manager) an additional $300 off (instead of the $594 I requested) to arrive at the final price. This process is boiler plate for almost all dealerships. We sat with the finance manger to complete the paper work. We opted for the 8 year full warranty which included all routine services. In addition to SRS, ABS, TPMS, VSA and EPS, this vehicle had the more advanced features of ACC, BSI, CMBS, LDW and LKAS., With so many complex systems, the longer term (8 years vs 3 from factory) insurance including ALL mechanical and electrical (not body) repair and maintenance for $2550 extra was considered a good deal. I would certainly go back to this dealership.

It is a major upgrade form the ‘02 Jeep I used to own; very modern! I like the fact that it is hands free device.

Got my car there on time and it was promptly taken back. A young man came out to tell me the results, that the part needed was in stock, the cost to fix the problem, and the length of time needed. Repairs were made and I was on my way. The young lady offered to walk me to my car. I didn't need that , but it was a thoughtful gesture. All in all--a good experience. However, a couple of times in the past, my car was vacuumed and washed or rinsed. That' okay--just thought I'd mention it. Thanks!!

Lexus options at a Kia price and 36MPG!! 73,000 Miles since new and not one repair. Incredible value for the money! I have owned Three Kia's and loved them all.
