    That seems like an amazing deal. Check prices at truecar.com for details but I think that may be less than invoice.

    I took the TrueCar.com price and then shopped around, with each dealer that I visited willing to undercut the other by several hundred dollars. Truecar price on my vehicle as optioned was around $16889 without mats, interior lighting, and locking wheel nuts. Got it down to $16.5 and thinking of signing on Saturday. I'm wary of Grossinger Kia in Lincolnwood so while they offered that price, I went far to the suburbs. I'm in the Northshore.

    That sounds like a great price. I leveraged True Car back in April on a 2011 Optima. It was a great asset in the negotiation.

    Let us all know how it turns out on Saturday!

    Went to Napleton Kia in Elmhurst, IL to buy the 2012 Soul+ for 16.5 but seeing the Moss Green for the first time in daylight, I just could not pull the trigger and sign the deal. Stopped by other dealers but none had any Soul+ in stock. I guess I'll have to think about whether I can live with the color or put a deposit down and ask to locate another color.

    went to look at a kia soul automatic at my local kia dealership in Coatesville, PA the salesman was quoting me 16,500 for the base model. I dont have the best credit and need a co signer. The car seems great but is this a good deal.

    stanbearpig, look up your car at www.truecar.com to get pricing in your area. Your credit has no impact on pricing, only the rate you'd pay to lease or finance. In my area of South Florida, invoice on a 2012 Soul+ Auto is aprox. $16,600 plus a $750 destination charge, according to Consumer Reports. Note that that $ figure is for a Plus, not a base. It was tricky to find inventory.

    Agreed. If you're in the Atlanta area, Kia Mall of Georgia is the way to go. Easy to work with and great people in the showroom. Just bought my Soul+, 6-speed manual and LOVE IT!!!

    Leased an Alien Soul Exclaim with spoiler/remote start/lighting/mirror for $269/mo including taxes. Traded my 2010 Acura MDX luxury gas hog for the little Guy who will be saving me a huge bundle of cash each month.

    Does anyone have any recent experiences for actual prices paid in 2016? Chicago suburbs?
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Any particular trim?

    I had a firm quote for an Exclaim with Umber for $25,500 and TTL of $1,000, but that was months ago. And that wasn't a common package for down here.
