I started by looking at the selling prices of similar cars. Two 2016 Kia Optima 2.4L i4 EX (Top) with similar mileage and good condition sold for AED 27500 in July and August 2024. These are higher trims than the LX (Mid) variant we are estimating. Next, I considered the offers accepted by sellers. The closest match is a 2016 Kia Optima 2.4L I4 LX (Mid) with higher mileage (222300 km) which had an offer accepted for AED 20500 in July 2024. Given that the car in question has lower mileage (188000 km) but is in average condition, I adjusted the price slightly upwards from the AED 20500 offer. The other offers for EX (Top) variants ranged from AED 28500 to AED 30000, but these are higher trims and not directly comparable. Therefore, I used the AED 20500 offer as the primary reference and adjusted for mileage and condition.
