  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I'd like to get out of my lease early (1 year left) and have seen some of the lease swap sites. Has anyone here had any experience with swapping/transferring a lease either with one of these sites or just face to face? My payment is very low but I've got the EV itch and want to go all electric...
  2. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Well it has been 4 years with the SX and I have to say that I really enjoyed the car. I still have not solved the sticky steering issue, but it is very infrequent...one of those things you know the dealership will say they could not detect it.... I decided I would buy the car out from the...
  3. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    After having a lengthy discussion with my wife, I'm considering pursuing the "option" to downgrade my current lease, which is a 2015 Optima SXT. I'm a year into the lease, and based on KBB, I'm right about even between amount owed on car vs. market value (~$23,000). My current monthly payment is...

    My lease has 4 payments remaining. We recently leased a 16' Buick Enclave to replace our 13' Optima Hybrid and the dealer is sending us a check to cover the remaining 4 payments on the Optima. The value of the car is WAY LESS than the buy out of our lease so no trade-in for me, no option to sell...

    We have a 2015 Optima EX we leased that we put the k5 badges on. Curious when the lease is up and we probably get another Kia do we have to remove the badges and put the original Kia badges back on..

    I leased my 2015 Optima LX. If I decide to purchase the car after the 3 year lease is up (highly likey) will the 10 year, 100k powertrain warranty still remain? Or will I be the 2nd owner and just have the 5 year, 60k powertrain warranty?

    Hey all, So on a road trip to the northeast this past weekend, I was unlucky enough to get a nice sized rock kick up and smack the daylights out of my windshield. Now I have a roughly 1 inch (tip to tip) ninja star-shaped chip/crack. Here are my known facts: This car is a lease, only 3 months...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hello, I was recently involved in an accident. I was rear ended. I don't believe my car will be totaled. But because my car is a lease, how will this affect me? Even if the car is repaired back to manufacturer specs, will the car be worth signicantly less than the same car with no accident...

    Hi all, I have had my Optima EX w premium package/NAV and am 24 months into 36 mth lease. Problem is I am about at 36500 miles, so have hit the mileage limit. I should be driving less miles so I do want to lease again. Went to the dealer and they rolled in the 13 payments left and for $100...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey guys, This weekend I had scheduled for my 30K mile maintenance for my 2013 lease, which was due to end in July this year. While I had the service done, I scheduled a quick test drive with a sales associate in a new 2015 model. For months now I've been debating on whether to buy out my...

    This is my first post on this forum although I've been browsing for quite a while. I live in NJ and I will soon be turning in my 2012 SX Turbo. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with lease return inspections especially involving a inspection company called "AutoVin". I've seen some...
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey all, I received a call from my local Kia dealer, informing me of Kia's early opt-out for my current lease (the offer ends in March). I have about 6 months left on the lease, and I was originally considering buying out the lease at the end, as I really do love my '13 SXT. However, with...
  14. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So, I'll be trading in my 2012 SX this year. I stopped by the Kia dealer and checked out the 14's. I don't really like the rear lights and the "Turbo" on the sides (why would they do that?). Looking at other cars like the Fusion Titanium and Gen Coupe. Everything else is out because I require...
  15. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey guys I know there is a similar thread about how much everyone paid for their Optima but I was hoping to start a thread strictly for lease deals. Post your monthly lease price EXCLUDING TAX and how much was due at lease signing. Please specify if you had a trade-in. I didn't lease my car...

    Hey folks - Just got a 2014 Optima LX in Titanium Silver on Sunday. Leasing for $235 per month for $36 months ($2000 down). Never thought I'd lease, especially a Kia! I've never stayed in a car for more than 2-3 years, so entertained the idea of a lease. Originally had my heart set on a...
