Used 2005 Kia Optima for Sale

This is a standard, basic car without a lot of bells and whistles; but it really gets the job done. I have put on a lot of miles and, even though the car is older, I haven't had any problems with it. Maintenance is easy and inexpensive. I get good mileage with it, but the gas tank on this car is small! It's a quiet car, which I actually don't quite like, because sometimes when stopped at a light I'm not sure it's still running. The car handles highways well; and it's fantastic on dirt roads (I draw the line at mudding, though). The body has held up really well, especially considering what I put the car through. The interior of the car is not really family-friendly! I am female, and I think the car fits me quite nicely, but a guy might not be as comfortable since the seats are not really roomy. Also, the car is a two-door which would make it inconvenient for those with small children or babies that need to be in car seats. The trunk is a good size - I keep some camping gear in there at all times, a stash of books (about 30 of them!), a roadside emergency kit, spare fluids, tap shoes and hiking boots, random junk, and still have room to throw groceries in. Unfortunately, I found out after a minor crash that parts are difficult to find and expensive. Overall, I consider it a perfect car for me--something that will get me where I am going when I need to, and allow me to have fun my way.

This car is good quality. I have had it for years, and have not had any major issues. I like that it doesn't break down as frequently as others of its age. I don't like the non-essential feature's quality. Heating and air is spotty, and the CD player broke. These things are minor for me, though, as the car is still in great driving condition. Upholstery has taken a bit of a hit, the drivers seat has a small tear due to the amount of use, but again that is minor.
