2001 Kia Optima

4 Cylinder, 2.4L MFI DOHC Engine with 65,000 original miles
Automatic Transmission
Power Windows
Power Mirrors
Cold AC
Clear Title (this is not a salvage vehicle)
    
The Good:
This really was my grandmother’s car so the miles are original. She gave it to us several years ago with only 35,000 miles on it. We’ve had it several years and it now has 65,000 original miles. The vehicle runs well, has good tires, a good battery, good heat, cold AC, and has not given us problems. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles so there is no reason to think it will not continue to run well. Timing belt was changed at 40,000 miles. No leaks.

The Bad:
This vehicle is 12 years old and is showing its age. It has dings, scrapes (most of which I’ve tried to show in the pics), and squeaks. The driver side door was backed into and is dented. However, this does not affect the function of the door—it opens and closes without a problem. Additionally, the air bag light just came on in the last few weeks and stays on (I’m not sure what that means). The power windows work but they tend to go up slowly and one of the rear ones is really slow (sign of age). The driver side seatbelt also does not like to recoil all the way back in but still functions properly.

The point in giving this detailed information is not only so you will be able to make a properly informed decision but also to make sure you realize this is not a perfect car. However, if you are looking for a reliable run-around car then this may be what you are looking for. Check out my feedback rating and bid with confidence!

Terms:
You are welcome to come and inspect the car. I live in Avon Lake, OH (about 20 miles west of Cleveland). However, if you bid on the vehicle, then you are responsible for that bid. Non-paying bidders will be reported to ebay.

A $200 deposit is due through Paypal within 48 hours of the auction close. Arrangements to have the vehicle picked up should be completed with 7 days after the close of the auction with balance due at pickup. The balance can be paid by cash or cashier’s check (no personal checks).

Reasonable offers will be considered at any time up until the auction close.

Kia builds one millionth vehicle in the US

Sun, 14 Jul 2013

Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG), the plant that produces the Kia Sorento crossover and Optima sedan, celebrated today as a Snow White Pearl 2014 Sorento SXL rolled off the assembly line at the 2,259-acre site, marking the one-millionth Kia to be produced on US soil.
Located in West Point, Georgia, KMMG was Kia Motors America's first manufacturing plant in the US and represented an initial investment of $1 billion. The plant started producing the 2011 Sorento on November 16, 2009 and is responsible for the creation of 11,000 jobs in West Point and the surrounding region. Production of the Optima sedan, Kia's best-selling car in the US for the past 18 months, started at the factory in 2011, and, in 2012, the completion of a $100 million expansion upped annual vehicle production capacity to 360,000.
"Building one million vehicles in less than four years is a tremendous achievement and one that each one of our more than 3,000 team members can take great pride in," said Byung Mo Ahn, Group President and CEO for Kia Motors America and KMMG.

Kia continues run of Soul special editions with Red Zone

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

The 2014 Soul has come on strong since its introduction, going so far as to become the Korean automaker's top-selling model last month, but Kia isn't wasting any time in creating a little extra excitement for its boxy hatchback. Although the name is a little wonky, the Kia Soul Red Zone marks the first special-edition model for the second-gen Soul, and its styling is meant to mimic the 2012 Track'ster Concept, the showcar that inspired the design of the 2014 Soul.
While there's no pigskin or AstroTurf (or any other football-related references) to be found on this car, the Red Zone package consists of a distinctive white paint scheme with bright red accents. The red theme continues on the inside with contrast stitching and piping acting as highlights to the otherwise all-black interior. The 2014 Soul Red Zone goes on sale early next year, and while official pricing has not been announced, production will be limited to just 2,000 units.

Kia unveils Horki sub-brand in China, kicks off with concept car

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

While we were busy ogling new vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept, Maserati Ghibli and Hongqi L9 at the Shanghai Motor Show, Kia was busy unveiling an entire brand. Through its Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Yueda Kia (or DYK), the South Korean automaker has introduced its new Horki sub-brand and a concept car, simply called the Horki Concept.
The name Horki comes from the combination of two Chinese characters "Hor" and "Ki," which translates to "China driving." As this suggests, the brand will only be offered in China, and this concept sedan shares its platform with the 2014 Kia Forte. We didn't happen to catch the car live at the auto show, and apparently neither did Kia, since it only provided us with some drawings rather than live (or even studio) shots of the actual concept car. Thankfully, our friends at Newspress managed to ferret it out, so we have a couple of live pics to share after all.
