Sell Your Kia Optima for Cash

Sell Your Junk Kia Optima for Cash

If you want to sell your junk Kia Optima, owners often see about $674 on average when the car is in scrap condition.

• 2015 and newer — $702 to $2,540
• 2008–2014 — $319 to $1,580
• 2000–2007 — $300 to $425

Why Junk Car Buyers Pay More for the Kia Optima

The 2.4L and 2.0L engines are common in Optimas and their parts move fast, so we buy junk cars for engines that still have useful heads, turbos, or valvetrains; those engine types appear in the line-up as 2.4L and 2.0L models.

Because some Optimas come with 6 cylinders, scrap yards pay more for blocks and transmission cores when a 6-cylinder core is present, and that can lift the return on a non-running car.

With 24 city / 32 highway MPG on many trims, fuel system components and catalytic hardware from the Optima stay in steady demand, which helps when you sell my car for cash for parts rather than keep paying to repair it.

Common Kia Optima Problems That Lead to Selling

There are 1,458 complaints and 8 recalls tied to this model, which is why a lot of owners choose cash instead of long repairs.

• engine problems — $1,500–$4,000
• structural issues — $2,000–$5,000
• airbag recalls — $1,000–$3,000
• latch/lock failures — $300–$900

If the cheapest fix on the list is $300 for latch work, selling now saves time and we offer free junk car pickup with the sale.
