Used Kia Optima for sale in La Habra, CA

A lot of the negative reviews on this place are a bit silly. In my experience from this past weekend, if you listen to the salesperson who you are assigned, bring all the documents requested, make appointments, and come fully prepared, you will have an excellent experience just as I did. I placed a 7-day hold on the exact car I wanted, and made an appointment to come test drive it and apply for financing a few days later. I spoke with my salesperson, Jerry Neyland, a few times on the phone before coming in, and he always had the answers I needed. He advised me on what documentation to bring with me, and when I arrived for my test drive appointment Jerry has the car ready for me. We took a quick test drive, I fell in love with the car, and we started the financing application. Since I brought everything we'd need, it was a BREEZE! In total, I was maybe at CarMax for 2 hours maximum. I had been stressing over it all week, only to find out it was all so, so simple. Jerry's customer service is second to none--he was friendly, quick, and understanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, and not once did I feel he was putting pressure on me or trying to "sell" me on anything. CarMax Buena Park gets 5 out of 5 stars for me, and Jerry Neyland gets 6 out of 5 stars! Overall an excellent experience in every regard.

I’ve owned a 2012 Kia Optima EX GDi 2.4L engine. Hands down, best car I have ever driven! After 8 years of daily driving and 135,000 miles later, she still handles like the day I drove her off the dealership lot. Very comfortable leather interior, that even though is years old, has not one crack or tear! Shifts smoothly, brakes smoothly and still has some get up and go when I put my foot down. Very safe car- Prior to this I owned an ‘11 Optima EX that I got into an accident in. The side and front airbags left me unscathed! All in all, I’m glad I went with Kia. You can never go wrong with that Kia reliability!

We love our 2020 Optima. So much for the $$. Good size, ride, and ample features including safety for the money. 2nd owner and my daughters commute to college at 34-35 mpg which is good for this size car. Unfortunately too many have engine failure with 2.4L (8-10k replacement) and nearing 60k warranty end I'm going to trade for a Honda or Toyota rather than roll the dice. A shame they can't provide a bulletproof engine with an otherwise awesome car!!

Amazing Kia team made everything so easy best places to get your Kia from . They treat their customers so amazing and kind . You can get an amazing deal for a car here . I would totally recommend you check them out .

This is now the second optima I have owned and I have to say that I am truly impressed with how KIA has improved over the years. The leg room in this car is fantastic and it's quite comfortable on long rides. Handles nice, has nice acceleration, rides smooth, it's great on fuel, and has very few problems. The interior gets some criticism from some consumers but what I love about it is that it sacrifices flashy exotic dashboard designs for genuine comfort and space. I would argue that the value of the newer optima models exceeds that of the almighty Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. I literally love driving this car and I miss it when I'm riding in someone else's car. The only issue I ever had was with my last optima, which was a knock sensor issue. Kia fixed it free of charge rather quickly and gave me no problems at all about it. My current one has over 50k miles and runs like brand new. You can't even feel the motor running when it's idling. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for more bang for their buck and for anyone who has 1-2 kids.

We came to the dealer twice before we’d decided to buy, and both times the salesman (Francisco) was informative and not aggressive. The dealer had many options available of the model we wanted, so we were able to find the one car with all the features we were looking for and nothing more. They also competed for our business by giving us a better deal than a Hyundai we were considering, which won us over. The car is such a pleasure to drive!

Great car so glad I bought it body style is sleek and very classy looking very nice interior drives very nice and smoothly and has Bluetooth

Amazing service! The service team was amazing and took care of the worries and needs that I? have.

I've got A 2&3 year old this car has exceeded my expectations. My Kia has so much room for the kids or just riding in traffic to enjoy the sun. I NEVER imagined I'd own a Kia but I'm so glad this is what I decided on. Ive always purchased vehicles solely on looks and mainly performance and the 2019 Kia Optima is on my top 3, It's great in city and on highways while also looking slick and almost like a much more expensive car. Love love the Kia, I gotta hand it to the engineers on this one. Plenty of space great gas mileage and is much more then your everyday original stock filled car options. I still feel like a kid rolling around in it. #STILLGOTIT#

I walked into LA Auto Exchange wanting to test drive a few cars I saw listed online. When I walked in, my wife and I were greeted by J. I told him we were having a baby this summer and needed to get something safe with some more cargo space than our Corolla. J was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He had all the charm and charisma, without the pushiness and insincere cue cards and talking points of a phony salesman. This was something I was ready for as I’ve had a lot of experience in car dealerships that were less than stellar. He was totally transparent and forthright from the very beginning. No hidden fees, no BS add-ons and what have you, he just spit the straight facts. J’s demeanor totally disarmed me, and all in all he was extremely accommodating to my pregnant wife and I. Not only J, but the majority of the staff at LA Auto Exchange were very friendly with an overall positive vibe in the atmosphere. This includes the manager, who was this super buff guy who’s name I didn’t catch, but he was extremely sweet to us and let us hold the car for a few days while we sorted our bank stuff out. He even congratulated us and shook our hands as we left the dealership. They ended up putting a giant bow on the car and having us take a photo, which may seem like overkill to some, but for us it showed a personal touch that makes you feel like part of their family. These guys truly put care and attention into the vehicles and customer service. Walking around the lot, you can see they take very good care of their vehicles and take a lot of pride in their work. This isn’t the typical car dealership you’ll find in LA. I’d highly recommend stopping by here if you’re looking to purchase a car. I will likely return when it’s time to trade in the sedan. Thank you LA Auto Exchange, and a specific shout out to J!

I got the 2020 KIA Optima S trim. The car is great! This is my first car and the safety features helps me out a lot. The backup camera works really well thankfully because I can’t see see anything out the back window lol. I’m in the military so I drive her around a little more often than usual. The car holds up well. The car is very comfortable as well I drive her back home (15hrs) and have no issues at all. The fuel economy is great as well get around 530 miles on a full tank. The car is not a race car so I wouldn’t expect that kind of performance. That being said she is pretty fast and handles great! I got mine in 2021 for about $24k with around 23k miles on it. For the money I’d definitely say it’s worth it.

The sales person was very friendly and helpful. They had the car I was looking for, but during the test drive, it developed problems that were not a reflection on the repairs they are responsible for. I would recommend them if I were asked.

When I bought this car, I has No idea I would Be driving it this long. It was supposed to be for me then my daughter in college. Life happened and this car has become my life long friend and had to get daughter a different car since I could not afford anything else. I’m so thankful for my car and will always buy Kia from here on out.

This is my 2nd Kia Optima I do not like the windows because all 4 of my windows are working itself down and they're telling me I've got to pay for this it should be a recall by Kia

Came to STG unsure of what vehicle I wanted. Carlos allowed me to test drive a few different cars, even driving us to another location. Left with the Jeep of my dreams! Anthony the manager was also extremely helpful and informative. Would recommend!

Loved the Optima after upgrading from a Forte due to highway issues with it. Lots of room, dashboard has all the bells & whistles you could want. Quick pickup, gas mileage is great if you aren't using the A/C which burns gas fast. It's a great car and I loved it! Unfortunately turning it in after nearly 3 years due to mechanical issues. Battery went after 1 year of use, starter just went on it 2 days ago, collision warning system keeps shutting down while just driving with error message. Everything was covered under warranty, but I never had these fast problems with my Toyota's. Trading it in tomorrow for something else. Plus they did away with the Optima line.

Had a great experience at STG. Carlos was helpful, knowledgeable, and allowed us to test drive different vehicles. The manager Anthony was also very helpful. Will be back in the future.

Leased new, car is very comfortable. HUGE ISSUE with Nexin OEM tires. Had to replace all 4 tires after 13500 miles due to wear. Dealer would not replace until I purchased new tires. OEM tires were rated at 70,000 miles and Nexin company offered Sox $143.00 total toward new ones. Replaced with ANOTHER BRAND TIRE,cost apx $800.00

I purchased a used Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG from the Carmax in Costa Mesa, CA about a month ago. I started out by calling the Carmax and reaching a sales agent. She worked with me by setting aside the car so that I could fly down to pick it up. She picked me up from the airport about 15 miles away from their dealership. When I saw the car, I found some minor cosmetic issues with the car and Carmax assured me that they would repair them at my local Carmax in Roseville, CA. I will be writing a review about that Carmax as well. They issued me a form stating repairs to be done at my local dealership. I informed the salesperson that I would be pushing the car a bit and she was fine with it. After the test drive, the car seemed to be in great condition, so we headed in for the paperwork. The appearance inside of the dealership building did not convey a welcoming feeling though. It felt like a warehouse with desks in it. The people within the building were nice and friendly though. The paperwork was pretty quick as I already had a loan check from the credit union. It took about 30 minutes and then I was on my way. Overall, I would say the experience was positive.

My 2016 Kia optima EX with all the options is every bit as good as my 96 Camry LE. The only reason why my rating is not 5 stars across-the-board is that there is a slight oil consumption that will be fixed through my dealer. Excellent 4 door with the 2.4 naturally aspirated engine.

Kenny and the staff were amazing! Very helpful and customer service was up to par. Thank you!

Plenty of legroom (I'm 6'4"). Reasonably quick and good handling, of course it's not a sports car. Gas mileage 31-32 on my commute, 35-36 on the interstate at 75 mph. Probably the best value in this size class, I didn't see any need to pay the premium for a Honda or Toyota.

Just purchased a used 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD custom and Joseph really helped put the deal together and a reasonable amount and made everything smooth transition. Shoutout to the sales manager (forgot his name) that finalized the OTP for my vehicle.

I have a 2006 Kia Sportage LX with 100,700 miles on it. As you can tell, I don't particularly drive much. But my Sportage has been VERY reliable. (I call it "Ole Faithful.") In 15 yrs I haven't had to put much money into it. Other than a set of tires, a battery, and regular oil changes, I've had to put in an AC condenser and a power steering pump totalling about $1200.00 which isn't bad over 15 years of car ownership! When I decided to get another car for long distance road trips I immediately added the Optima to my short list. My priority was a mid-sized car with great safety ratings and features, and comfort. The other vehicles I considered were the 2019 Accord, Camry, and Sonata. After MONTHS of research I decided on the Optima S. I LOVE. LOVE, LOVE this car, and do not regret my choice one bit! It checked ALL my boxes, plenty of interior and trunk space, technology features, and of course safety (blindspot, rear cross traffic, lane keep assist among others). And as far as value for the money, Accord and Camry couldn't touch it. The gas milage is listed as a bit less that the Honda and Toyota, but I have been getting between 37 and 39 mpg highway, and 32 to 34 around town, so I really can't complain at all. I'd highly recommend adding this car to your list, to anyone looking for a mid-sized family car.

David Reyes and Brad / service Manager were amazing to work with. Went in for an oil change and 2nd key program since the car did NOT come with a 2nd key. Got my car back with in 2hrs. The norm now a days.

Like buying a car from a friend, actually better! From the first friendly text to driving off I had a smooth and easy experience. They seem to have competitive prices and good cars, too. Go see Izzy for your next car.

Just traded in my 2013 for a 2018 with less than 18,000 miles on it. I loved my Optima and wanted another. This one is nice, but missing the heated steering wheel my other EX had. I like the looks of the cabin on my 2013 better than this one, but it’s not bad. It’s a smooth comfortable ride, good on gas and has some nice safety features. Definitely not disappointed.

After a long day of car shopping and having several terrible experiences with pushy sales people and cars with issues, we ended up at this dealership. We were greeted by Allan who was a dream to deal with. Brought us several options, was thorough and knowledgeable about every car, had a great personality and never pushed or proded us. He came through and gave us a great deal. We had already been pre-approved, but AJ in the finance department worked the numbers and got us a better interest rates than our credit union. I've bought many cars, and they went above and beyond, making us feel so comfortable and right at home. Best experience ever. I'll go back again and again to purchase from them!

I just purchased a 2018 Kia optima from a used dealership at first I was concerned. But it only has 48,000 miles on it. Now 51,000 I always thought Kia was a girl car. But as a man. I love it. It has plenty room in the back. The car runs smoothly and I like the safety alert it gives when another vehicle is to close on you. I didn't want to drive it to work but the gas mileage is much better than my 2004 Ford escape . I've had my Kia almost a month now and I'm still trying to figure out how to work the features. Yes I recommend this car. Even if you get one with 100,000 miles on it. It would still run great

Very happy... will buy from there again when it's time to purchase another car

I love it!!! Very comfortable, smooth great ride. I look forward each day to drive my car. It may not be brand new, but it has 8400 miles on it and is such a pleasure!!

In 2008, my folks bought a new Chrysler Pacifica Limited. The car sales man was great. He knew all about the car and showed us everything about it. The dealership it's self is beautiful and super clean. They also have AWESOME cars inside in which you can sit and mess around in. The overall rating is a 4 BECAUSE, it is so hard to get a hold of these guys to take the car in. We've called 4 or 5 times to only leave messages that have never been responded to, so we are planning on just going there whether they want us to or not!

There's pro and cons with this car. I love the fact that this car is very good of mileages save so much fuel , I lived in San Antonio and we drove this car with full tank to Corpus Christi its about 2 hours and half, almost 145 miles away, then we came back still have half full of a tank. My deslike about the car is the front passenger set, its kinda very low and there's no other way of adjusting it. ( Blind spot)When changing lane specially to your rare left side ,you literally turning your head making sure there's no other vehicle. Other than that??The car is good to drive.
