Default FS: 2012 Kia Optima SX Turbo (Premium Touring Pkg) - Snow White Pearl. BEST DD!

Year: 2012
Make: Kia
Model: Optima
Price: $24450
Mileage: 10350
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): NJ
Color: White
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: Front Wheel Drive
LS Engine?: Car has other engine

Figured I would give a forum member a shot before I trade the car in the middle to end of next month (Feb). I have a car on order and this is going to get traded in once that car is delivered.

This car is Snow White Pearl with Black leather interior.

The premium touring package includes: ($3k Option)

- Panoramic Sunroof (Gloss Black)
- 18" Touring Luxury Wheels
- Infinity Audio System w/ 8 speakers & Sub
- UVO Powered by Microsoft Infotainment System
- Rear Camera Display and HD Radio
- 4 way power front passenger seat
- Driver's Seat Memory
- Heated and Cooled Front Seats
- Heated rear seats
- Power folding outside mirrors


The car's specs if you don't know is FWD.
Engine: 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo – 274-hp at 6,000 rpm and 269 lb-ft of torque between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm.
Weight: 3340 lbs
Gas Mileage: Car uses REGULAR 87 Octane and achieves 22/34 mpg


I can sit here and rant and rave about the car, but do a google search... seriously this is the best daily driver for under $42,000. This car stickered new for just under $31K.

Car has 10,350 miles but is being driven until the middle to end of next month.

Every auto magazine/website has rave reviews for the car and so many dealers still can't keep them in stock. Honestly the Snow White Pearl Touring is probably the hardest combo to find because they are so sought after.

The car handles great, has great brakes, and is quite quick.


Asking $24,450. Basically the lowest mileage, premium touring optioned, priced 2012 Optima SX out there in the USA!

I am located in North/Central NJ. Have a lot of experience shipping past cars and buying this way, and also can meet buyer at Newark Airport (20 minutes from me).

If you need a loan, see penfed.org - 1.49% to finance this car!! The best rates out there. Many forum members use these guys.

People asked about maintenance ... just change the oil every 5k with 5w30 or 5w40 full synthetic. I use the euro pennzoil ultra 5w40. awesome oil!

Car was sold and agreed on a date to pick it up and then backed out even after purchasing plane tickets and won't return my messages or calls.

Holy crap that thing is nice. I've been impressed with the newer styling from Kia and Hyundai. I drove a rental optima last year and thought it was nice. I had no idea they could be had like that, or with a turbo for that matter.

Boy am I not having luck with buyers. I was contacted on Sunday by a wholesaler... said he was going to come pick it up today because his partner was just getting back into town. So I haven't bumped any threads or anything. Calls me this afternoon and tells me he expects to pay about $2K less... I go why in the world do you think that, you knew the price and told me you are coming to pick it up today, all week long we kept in touch..

So its still for sale. $24,099 is the new price. Crazy low for the options, miles, and condition!!

What do you know a second person who going through financing, spent a bunch of time speaking to them then stops returning calls to even let me know what happened after the 2nd attempt to get financing I assume fell through.


Please have finds ready, pre approved, or otherwise.

Have you posted this on autotrader? Thats where I was looking for a used model before I went with the 2013. The big reason I went new - not much difference in cost, but the warranty doesn't go down like it does for the 2nd owner.

I even test drove one from autotrader, but we were not able to meet up for a sale (I test drive it while driving through Virginia on vacation - car was 7 hours from home).
