At $7,719, this 2015 Kia Optima EX is the most car per dollar we have on the lot right now.

The EX badge is the reason. Autoweb's road test notes that the 2015 Optima EX — which stickered at $24,100 new — added 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control and leather seat trim over the base LX. This one carries all of that, plus push-button start with smart key entry, a power driver's seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear seat A/C vents and upgraded solar glass. The rear vents and the dual-zone controls are the kind of thing you stop noticing you appreciate until August in Central Texas, with a back seat full of kids coming off a ball field. The transmission is an automatic.

It has 143,317 miles on it, which works out to roughly 13,029 a year across eleven years — highway-weighted commuter miles, and we price it accordingly. That's an honest number, not a small one, and we'd rather you look at it straight.

So look at the car straight, too. Take it to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection — your shop, your choice, and we'll hand over the keys for it. Read the Carfax vehicle history report yourself; ask us for it and take your time with it. We invite that kind of scrutiny because we expect the Optima to come back from it fine, and because a car at this price should have to earn your trust rather than ask for it.

When you're ready, we can talk extended warranty options and GAP coverage, and we work with financing for every credit situation — cash buyers are just as welcome. No pressure, no runaround, just a friendly conversation and a set of keys. Come drive it and see what you think.
