Analysis
The car: a 2020 Kia Optima LX FWD with 125,944 miles listed at Image Cars Incorporated (Fort Wayne IN) for $10,495.
The market: $492 below the CarGurus expected price of $10,987. CarGurus rates this listing Good Price against its comp set.
What to watch: Theta II 2.4L (2011-2020) bearing-failure history — verify. Theft-era key-start models need immobilizer check. At 6 years old with 125,944 miles, condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge on the grille — get a pre-purchase inspection before money moves. Verdict: BUY. The price is right for what it is, the model is a known quantity, and Image Cars Incorporated is an established store. Go drive it, verify the history, and don’t overthink it.
