2021 Kia Forte

2021 Kia Forte GT-Line VALUE PRICEDOne-owner history, no accidents reported, sporty GT-Line styling and priced to make sense for the miles.This 2021 Kia Forte GT-Line has 116,435 miles and comes finished in Snow White Pearl with a Black interior. It features the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, CVT automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.The history is a strong point on this one. CARFAX reports one owner, personal use, last owned in Virginia and no accidents or damage reported.Even with the higher mileage, CARFAX gives this Forte a Great 3-Year Reliability Forecast, placing it in the Top 25% of comparable vehicles with a low predicted likelihood of repair.What We DidRather than simply clean it up and put it on the lot, our technicians inspected the Forte and addressed a substantial list of items, including:New spark plugsFresh oil and filter changeNew front brake pads & resurfaced front rotorsFour-wheel alignmentBalanced and rotated all four tiresReplaced driver's seat belt buckleReplaced right-rear body opening gasketReplaced tire mobility kitNew key-fob batteryReplaced glove-box stopperAdded front license-plate bracketVirginia state inspectionFull professional detailDuring its initial inspection, the engine had a misfire on first startup and the oil level was found low. The oil was topped off and the misfire did not return. Our technician recommended replacing the spark plugs, so we replaced them along with performing the oil change.What You Should KnowAt 116,000+ miles, this isn't being represented as a perfect five-year-old Forte.There is a scratch and dent on the right-front door, some peeling paint near the turn-signal bezel, and the driver's seat shows cracking and wear. The rear window tint is also darker than normal.We're telling you about those things because we'd rather you know them before you drive across town or across the state to see it.The CARFAX history backs up the ownership story: it has remained a Virginia personal vehicle since new, and the history shows maintenance including oil changes, tire service and alignment work.The bottom line: this is a higher-mileage Forte GT-Line with some cosmetic imperfections, but it's also a one-owner, accident-free CARFAX vehicle that we've inspected and put real mechanical work into before offering it for sale.No hiding the miles. No hiding the imperfections. And no hiding what we found or what we fixed. That's Total Transparency at Steven Kia.
