I'm considering a V6 ($1500 competitor bonus), and would use the 1.9%, 48 mos., w/ $500 rebate. That would be $2k off msrp. An additional $4k off the msrp seems unlikely, even for the fully-loaded SX, doesn't it?
Any thoughts--or better yet, anyone with personal experience--on this $6k discount, and what particular shenanigans are involved to actually get it?
Thanks!
Do these deals actually exist and, if not, why is Kia allowed to advertise them? My credit score is in the upper 700 range. Is there a good way to approach these guys to get this advertised price?
Here in the O.C. of California, Kia Depot advertised unbelievable purchase deals. So I went in w/cash and they kept giving me the runaround. When I offered the full purchase price advertised, they kept me waiting for ever. So I walked into the managers office & asked what was taking so long. They then jacked up the price & tried to get me to finance. I said absolutely not, went to another dealer and got what I wanted.
Good luck. I love my Sorento.
They want you to finance through them, so don't tell them you will finance elsewhere until the end.
Just my 2 cents.
I stopped by my local Kia dealer today to test drive an EX V6 FWD and was really impressed. Options included on it were premium 2 package (sunroof, roof rails, backup camera, leather seats) plus a few other add ons including side rails, cargo cover, cargo net, and wheel locks. Sticker price on it was about $32k, I was offered $27.5 which included $2500 in rebates. I said I would think about it, and left thinking it was a pretty good deal until I came on here and saw some more expensive EX and SX versions being sold at similar rates.
Do you think this is a fair price? I am under the impression that I can do better here.

Can you please let me know what the residual and money factor is on the Sorento LX V6 w AWD for a 36 month lease and 12k miles per year?
Thanks
Finally pulled the trigger on a 2011 EX V6 AWD with Premium 2, sidesteps, rear bumper cover.
MSRP $33.5K, price before sales tax, title, etc. was $28.1K. Qualified for the $1500 competitive bonus, $1000 rebate, and $500 with 0.9% 3 year Kia Finance.
Thanks for everyone's experiences!

Advertising is deceptive. I saw a 2012 Sorento advertised for $18,997 recently, but that didn't include $800 freight, a dealer added $495 appearance package, and a dealer added $795 Paint and Fabric protection package that they added to the advertised stock vehicle. It also included every single rebate totaling $3K. In the end, if you back everything out, it came to just over $24K, which was almost the exact MSRP on the window sticker.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Good deal? I hope so!!
The car is FWD with the new GDI 4 cylinder. Rated at 22/32 mpg. After 100 miles around suburbia stop and go driving I'm getting 21.5. Very happy so far...
I am looking at a 2012 Kia Sorento 2.4l EX AWD with no packages installed.
The MSRP is 28,835; Invoice is 27,700; Rebates (that i qualify for) are $1000 + $500 - so that makes my price before taxes and tags - 26,200
My out the door price including 6% sales tax and 228 registration/title fee is 28,000.
Do you guys think this is a good price or am I being ripped off here? Thanks!
Paid $25,963 out the door. Used all the discounts from the factory, totalling $2,500. Remember that tax is on the negotiated amount before the discounts. Financing was 3.9% Milwaukee area.
I just bought the same car (2012 LX V6 AWD) in Vermont with 3rd Row Seats and 7-seat carpeted floormats for $24,895 off the lot after $2500 in incentives (so really $27,395), plus $100 "dealer document fee" and the tax and title stuff.
Drove it right off the lot, through Hurricane Irene damage, on a 300-mile roadtrip. Super smooth!
Good luck and happy hunting!
Sorento EX FWD V6; third row seats; cloth/leatherette; cargo net; cargo cover;ec mirror w/ compass & homelink; wheel locks; roof rack cross bars, tinting...
25,991 plus TTL (1890 tax is 6.25%). Includes $3000 incentives/rebates.
MSRP is $28, 525 Dealer Cost is $27,220
Thanks, Angela
I think I just bought a nearly identical car and I paid $25,325 which included $2000 in rebates. I didn't get the cargo net, cargo cover or any of the other extras you have so your deal is $670 higher because of those additional features. Seems like a pretty fair deal to me.
Thanks for the response. How do they calculate tax?
25,992 + TTL - Downpayment
or
25,992 -downpayment +TTL?
Thanks,
Angela
Now that I look at the number again, I'm thinking you could do better on this deal. I was comparing your deal to mine and it looked very similar BUT you are getting $3K in rebates. In my region (Southern Cal), Kia is only offering $2K in rebates so you should pay $1K less than me.
Your price breaks down like this:
$28,992 negotiated price
-$3,000 rebates
$25,992 + TTL (and tax is calculated on $28,992)
My deal was this:
$27,380 negotiated price
-$2,000 rebates
$25,380 + TTL
The numbers to compare are what I'm calling "negotiated price". I think you should only be about $600 higher based on the fact that you are getting the cargo net, cover, wheel locks, etc. But you are actually $1,600 higher ($28,992 vs. $27,380). I think you should be able to negotiate another $1K off the price you have been offered. Good Luck!
You are right, I COULD have haggled another $800 off the price. I shopped his price around several dealers though and even tried the Costco dealer who was a different auto group than the one I purchased with, but I got tired. The Costco dealer would have sold me the car for $800 less IF he could have found the car I wanted, but there weren't any coming in to or close to Texas any time soon.
Ah well, it is what is. Those sales guys get you all excited and worked up when you get there huh? I love the car though. I can't wait to use it on our first trip.
Thanks for your help! I think next time, I'm just going to go straight through Costco...

Looking at the website, the only way to get third row is to add the leather and navigation package, which makes the car way too expensive. For some reason you can get an LX 4 cyl and get a third row but not for the 4 cyl EX; let me know if I am wrong.
