 2003 Kia Optima SE V6


$3000.00 OBO

This car is a great runner the engine and transmission is perfect. The car has 131,000 miles on it and very well can last another 100,000 miles if you take care of your vehicles. This was my wife's car, we are expecting another baby in a few months so we purchased a van for the extra seating, that is why we are selling the car.

Strong runner, Heat & AC work as do the power windows and power seats, we just had replaced the high pressure power steering hose on the car.

The car check engine light is on, my wife did take to autozone around 3 months ago and they told her it was a O2 sensor.

The auto locks do have a issue where they engage automatically a few times when you don't want them too. You can pull the fuse and just lock and unlock the car with the key, but that is up to you.

The airbag light is on, I never had that checked or cared to, most of the used cars I have owned over the years that light always seems on.

The right and left sides of the rear bumper has paint peeling on each side

Two tires on the car will need to be replaced, they are ok now, and you can drive on them, but they will need replacing before next winter.

The car is real nice and does run well, other then what I have listed it just has normal ware & tear that you would expect from a 2003.

The car in fair condition on Kelly blue book states it is worth about $3300.00
I feel it is better then in just fair condition. So that is where I came up with my price.
Any other questions feel free to ask.

If you are looking for a great runner that looks decent then this is the car for you.

Paypal deposit of $500.00 is required Immediately after auction end, the rest of the payment is due in cash when you pick up the car within 7 days after auction end. 
I will take cash ONLY, so no personal checks, money orders etc..

No games & serious buyers only, I have sold a car on here before and had no problems. So I figured I would try again. I describe everything in detail and to the best of my knowledge, that is why I have 100% feedback, so you can purchase with confidence.

Kia to green-light GT and Provo for production?

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Kia is looking to inject a bit more performance life into its brand, and according to Auto Express, the company is looking at creating sporty models based on two of its recent concept cars, the GT four-door from the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (shown above) and the Provo hybrid hatchback that debuted in Geneva last week (inset, right).
"The GT is close to being approved and going into production, but, as with all our cars, they have to be developed on a sound financial footing," Benny Oeyen, Kia Europe's VP of marketing and product planning, told Auto Express. When it debuted, the GT four-door was powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6, reportedly good for 389 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The Provo, on the other hand, could stand as a sort of halo car for the company's B-segment offerings. It would ride on the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Rio compact, though Kia says it's eager to keep the concept's gasoline-electric powertrain intact. "Our brand is currently rational, but there's space for a B-coupe," says Oeyen. Of course, the company would indeed have to look at different naming possibilities for its B-segment coupe, since the week-old Provo is already stirring up some controversy.

Kia's second Super Bowl commercial lets booth professionals have their revenge

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

This is more like it, Kia. After last year's highly successful Adriana Lima-infused Super Bowl commercial for the Optima, we weren't that impressed with this year's Super Bowl ad for the new Sorento called Space Babies that Kia showed us earlier in the week. Its second spot for this year's big game, however, gave us a chuckle.
Called Hotbots and starring Miss USA Alyssa Campanella as a futuristic robot, the ad plays out a fantasy that we know for certain has crossed the minds of many booth professionals. These are the attractive set of women and men who plant themselves next to new cars at auto shows. More than just eye candy, they're usually extremely well educated on the product's specs and features. Despite that fact, they have to put up with constant oogling and questions like, "Do you come with the car?" What this T-1000 won't put up with is fingerprints on her shiny new 2014 Kia Forte, and she does something about it. Watch for yourself below.

Kia recalls 9,700 new Sorento models for potential front axle failures

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Kia has announced a recall on the 2014 Sorento due to an issue that could lead to a broken right front driveshaft on certain models. Only models equipped with the 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive are affected by the campaign.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that Sorento models built between January 7 through March 12 of this year may experience broken axle shafts that could lead to loss of power or cause the vehicle to roll if parked. According to the Detroit Free Press, a total of close to 9,700 units are being recalled, but that number is closer to 9,300 for customers in the US.
Kia says that it has had one incident with an internal vehicle that experienced a separated axle shaft in addition to 10 related warranty claims, but it says no accidents or injuries have been reported. The recall campaign will begin next month. Scroll down for the NHTSA recall notice as well as an official statement from Kia.
