Hey guys,

I don't know much about Kia Optima other than they look like a nice sporty car. I was looking on craigslist to buy a used one a stumbled across a nice black one with 116k miles on it. The owner said the engine was rebuilt due to the recall.

Would you advise me to stay away from this or is the rebuilt engines more reliable? If so, with good care, how long can I expect this car to stay running even with high mileage?

Thanks for the help!

Engine has lifetime warranty on it due to said recall. So it's kinda a null point. Same odds as any for problems to occur except it has a 0/low miles engine.

As long as the price is right, no problem as long as the a/c works at idle and no cel on.
