Backup camera, Bluetooth phone and audio, a 5-inch LCD touchscreen, USB and aux inputs, six-speaker audio with a CD player and 16-inch aluminum wheels — that's what the LX badge brought to this Optima, and it's all still here.

Under the hood is the 2.4L four making 185 horsepower, paired to a six-speed automatic with dual shift mode. The number that stands out, though, is the odometer: 34,010 miles on a ten-year-old car, roughly 3,401 a year. Somebody drove this one gently — short trips, close to home — and left a lot of road ahead of it. Asking price is $12,719.

Clean Fleet Report drove a 2016 Optima LX 338 miles and called it "a strong entry in the extremely competitive mid-size car segment," with praise for how much equipment Kia put on its base models. CoPilot describes the redesigned 2016 Optima as "a noticeable improvement over its predecessor" and "one step closer to the category benchmarks, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord."

We'd rather you check it yourself than take our word for it. Take it to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection — we welcome that, and we'll make the car available for it. The Carfax vehicle history report is yours to read in full. We invite the scrutiny because we expect this Optima to hold up under 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. Come drive it and see what you think.
