Anyone savvy enough to frequent these forums is NOT dumb enough to pay more than 10% interest on a car loan. You must be joking!
Good luck!
I have been looking for a Optima EX base model. How much should i pay for a good deal ? I am in Southern California. Also for a Optima EX lease $279 including tax $0 sign-in for 36 months and 12,000 miles. Is this is a good deal ?
Thank you for your helps.
Maybe try for the miles and some oil changes, etc. Can't hurt to ask, right?
Good luck.
I am looking to buy (not lease) an EX with premium package (no tech package) in SoCal. So far I have been quoted $26,100.00 out the door. TTL is about $2400, so the price I would be paying is $23,700. I think that's how that works.
Decent deal?
Thanks!
I was looking at a EX-Turbo with Prem/Tech package, and was quoted an internet price of $26,500 (including all rebates... financing with Kia, competitive trade-in, etc.) from an original price near $30K. Well, I didn't have a car to trade in, so assume the quote was for $27,500.
When I got to the dealership, this car had been traded and was no longer available.
I test drove an EX with Prem/Tech (non-Turbo), and I was just as happy with it. Final price (including all other rebates/incentives): $25,300... not including taxes/title, etc.
Based on everyone's feedback, I considered this to be a fair price. So thank you! And, I am happy with the car. Looking forward to driving it daily & keeping it for some time!
I'm trying to decide what my response to this would be, the $26,500 sales prices sounds like it would be quite a good deal, so maybe I'll say that I'll take it for that and see if they at least come down to $27,000. What do you guys think would be reasonable? I'm looking to buy towards the end of the month/quarter, so maybe that will help with pricing as well?
1. When we got there, we did not show excitement
2. We only looked at the SX turbo
3. Don't discuss any money with them until you are ready to make a deal (when he asked questions about how much we owed on our trade or any money, I simply said "I'm not sure, but I can get the info when I need to")
4. Don't be afraid to leave if they can't make the deal you want.
5. It helped we had our own financing when we got there.
Good Luck!
Thanks.
Some people actually pay for those dealer add-ons, God bless 'em.
You'd think that when someone submits a price query thru Edmunds that the "Internet Managers" at these dealerships would realize that you've seen the deals available and not come back to you with ripoff attempts of MSRP or very close to it.
I just purchased the regular Optima EX here in Dallas for $25.5k, including TT&L. The asking price was nearly $29k including TT&L.
I thought I got a pretty good deal until I read your post. Nice work!
I had pretty much decided I was going to get a Sonata, and was only going to test drive a Kia before my purchase tomorrow. So, I walked in for a test drive, and walked out owning the same car.
Somebody, please tell me I got a decent deal!
MSRP: $30,545
Rebate: 1000 competitive + 500 financing
Price after rebates: $26,190 before tt&l
Discount off MSRP: $4355
Hope this helps!
Their initial offer was $27,835 and then I qualify for the same rebates plus $500 if I lease and another $500 since I'm a vet, so the final price would be $25,325, but that doesn't include the $595 acquisition fee.
I'm debating how I should counter this offer since it seems to be a decent price to begin with and I would pay about $11,200 for the full lease:
- $9,774 depreciation (residual 53% or $16,146)
- $321 finance charge (money factor = 0.00021
- $289 doc fee
- $157 RMV fees
- $630 taxes (6.25% rate in MA)
This is just one resource I could have used:

I had went to the dealer yesterday and i saw one i really liked they said its 25,220 i don't believe it is worth that much.. i was also going to pay in cash.. so what do you all think is a good price also getting a military discount.. so how much?
thank you

Also, are you sure you can get the mil discount on a used car?
BTW, the residual % Hyundai uses on 3 year old cars is at most 60%. So if you know the original msrp of that car, offer them 60% of that number (plus a bit more since it has LOW mileage)
It is plain and simple
used
2011
im paying in cash
msrp on this car is 23k highest and 20k lowest
these things all go into consideration, and they wouldn't even go to 20k
we left and told them if they are willing to negotiate to call us cause that is ridiculous i can get a 2012 brand new one for that.
what do you think i should do
this car is fully loaded
and is less then the price the dealers offered.
mine was plain... crazy much!!
Now, I accepted this car because of two reasons. One, I assumed that all the cars at the dealership had those dealer add ons and there were no optimas stripped down to the bare model. I really wanted the bare model but I wasn't aggresive. The second reason is because I never even considered an upgraded model from the lx because i didn't wanna spend any more many than that. I didn't know that the difference was only 1700. And in my case, $715 of the options I paid for were included on the EX so if I was willing to pay for those addons to the LX, I might as well have spent an extra $1000 for the EX so I can get leather seats, push to start, rear events, and auto up and down windows.
Bout time I realized all that however, I had already driven the car off the lot. I wanted to make this thread last night when I was agonizing so bad about how I felt like I got ripped off. Why didn't the sales guy tell me to just go ahead and get an EX even after I told him I was interested in possibly upgrading to leather seats. I was going through this thread and other forums and it seemed like 95% of people got a non-LX optima so thats what prompted me to look at the EX in the first place and question my purchase. I wanted the EX so bad that I was willing to pay an extra $2500 to get it because I knew I would always go on regretting not getting it from the start.
Friday morning I made a call to the dealership asking if there was any way I could still upgrade to an EX. They were surprisingly pretty easy going and the manager let me sign off on a deal to trade my car in for an EX at $1100 more. So I was really happy about that. Its not even that the EX would make me THAT much more happier if I got it from the start, but I surely would have went the next three years wondering how it'd be like to have an EX over an LX. So I feel pretty grateful for the manager letting me trade it in cause I know he did that as just a favor for me.
So I paid about $22700 ish before TTL for an Optima EX with 6.9% interest over 6 years. I def don't plan on paying it off in 6 years though. I'm gonna try to pay it off in 3 years max. So I'd be paying about $650ish a month for that route. I'm gonna try and get it refinanced online or through another bank. Anyone have any tips for where to look for that?
OTD price was about $24300. I put $3200 down.
And just to be clear I still dont have the EX. He let me take the LX back home after I signed off and told me to come back tomorrow to pick up the EX because it has to be transferred from another dealer. So technically there might still be a chance I'm getting screwed on this, but I did sign all the finance papers again so hopefully I'm good to go.
Is $22,700 before TTL/$24,300 out the door a fair price for an EX?

Back in march 2012, I originally wanted to purchase the optima 2012 LX with convenience package. I bargain the price to be a total of 22k out the door, no finance/trade, PAID cash. By the way, I'm located in So. Cali.
However, the LX wasn't available on the lot, and had to be transfer from another dealership (90 miles away). This is because i wanted the titanium silver color.
After a week of waiting...i called the dealership and my car wasn't there yet, i was furious because they had promised me within a few days. Anyways they asked me to come in and look at my other options.
They offer me a EX trim with the color i wanted, however i had to paid an extra 1k. Which is 23k total out the door, i sat at the dealership and ponder for a while to see if it is a good deal or I'm getting scam. Eventually i calculated everything and compare what i would get more with the EX, such as keyless entry, push start, dual ac, power seats, garage link sys, cargo net, appliques, wheel locks.
I ultimately agree to it and paid an extra 1k, all in all i felt good about the decision and really happy with the EX trim.
Hope sharing my experience help you as reading yours helped me. Thanks.
I believe with 25k you could have added the premium and tech package for that price.
I hope this helps you, let me know what you negotiated with.
For me if i would have added the premium package, the highest i would offer is 24k, just try it and see what the dealership answer.
So all in all, I got the Optima EX for a 36 month lease, 12,000 miles a year (my wife and I calculated we drive 10k miles a year for just work driving, and since this will be our work driver we should have some miles left over every year to waste on other car rides...we have a family Pacifica for the trips and kid hauling) for exactly $260 a month. Who made out on this...did i get the deal or the dealership??
I ended up getting a new 2013 black Optima LX for $19,700 with a 1.9% finance rate. We wanted leather so that was added on for $1,300 but it's aftermarket. This deal was out of Columbus OH.
This is our first Kia and we chose it over the Accord. Hopefully it lives up to all the great reviews!
From what i can tell here is what i am looking at:
Base price with touring package and net and cargo mat: $30,670 (internet price listed on dealer website)
Sales Tax: 7.25% =$2,224
Tittle & Reg:$460 (used edmunds calculator)
Competitive Bonus Discount: $1,000 (Kia website)
(kia website shows $1,500 for model 55282 with options 81,82,83. What does that mean?
Down payment: $6,000
Total before financing: $25,354.00 (Kia website)
Financing APR: I'm going for 2.9 at 70 months through kia. Will that get me an additional $500 discount? Can the special APR be combined with the competitive bonus discount?
Anything else i should consider? Extra fees? Maybe additional discounts? Is the base price reasonable?
I got 270 a month for 72 months, with 1000 down.. 3.9% which is really good for 72 months i guess.
