These federal records are not an input to OAV’s price verdict.
These records describe the 2020 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-18.

Reported title-brand history on this vehicle (salvage, theft). OAV indicator from reported history events — not an official title or NMVTIS report.
Is this 2020 Kia FORTE LXS a good deal?
OAV verdict: Unscored
Why: Listed at $12,995. This vehicle has a reported branded/salvage title; OAV does not assign a price-to-market verdict to branded-title vehicles. Listed 65 days.
Market price position
This vehicle has a reported branded/salvage title, so OAV does not plot a price-to-market position for it — a branded car prices below clean-title comparables because of the title brand, not the market. Any comparable figures shown elsewhere on this page are clean-title reference only.
Branded-title price context: Branded-title FORTEs like this typically sell ~11% below comparable clean-title vehicles. The market range shown above is for clean-title cars — this listing's price reflects branded-title history.
Branded-adjusted estimate: $8,705 – $17,765 (clean-title range scaled by the branded discount — an estimate, not an appraisal).
Comparable vehicles nationally recently sold in an estimated 10–48 days.

About This 2020 Kia FORTE
Listing updated: Sep 18, 2026Listed by an independent dealer in La Crescenta-Montrose, CA · On lot for 65 days · VIN verifiable at NHTSA
This used 2020 Kia FORTE LXS is listed at $12,995 by my auto sales and leasing in La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91020. It has 46,536 miles on the odometer (dealer-reported, not independently verified by OAV). The exterior color is Black. It features a FWD drivetrain with a 2.0L I4 engine and CVT transmission.
OAV does not assign a price-to-market verdict to branded-title vehicles. This listing has a reported branded/salvage title, so its price is not rated against clean-title market comparables.
This vehicle has been on the lot for 65 days.
Analysis powered by OAV's patented inventory standardization technology (U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477). Verdict methodology ptm-verdict-v1 · snapshot Sep 18, 2026. The patented comparable band is the input; ptm-verdict-v1 is the versioned OAV rule set that turns it into this verdict.
Market context
This listing is part of OAV's broader La Crescenta-Montrose, CA sedans market analysis. OAV compares vehicles by local and regional price-to-market ranges and comparable count; days-on-lot and demand signals are shown separately, not as verdict inputs.
How this deal is rated
OAV compares this 2020 Kia FORTE against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:
- Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by a meaningful margin (OAV's minimum-gap rule); a listing below the floor by less than that margin is Fair Price.
- Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
- Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.
Listings show OAV's PTM-derived deal quality and live market context. OAV-claimed dealers manage their listing profile and route buyer inquiries directly. Paid OAV partners can surface additional verification signals, but commercial participation never changes a listing's Price-to-Market verdict, eligibility, ranking, or confidence.
How this listing is verified
