Trade in: the Kia Optima
No Kia Optima is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The Kia Optima for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
The Optima in everyday use
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
Good uses for the Optima
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Optima answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Compare the years of the Optima: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. The years table on this page shows where the Optima changed.
When you know your dates
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Kia Optima from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Kia Optima for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Kia Optima
Does CarmaCars sell the Kia Optima?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Kia Optima before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
