Paid $9999 for a base model 2008 RIO with 2 free oil changes and a couple of Kia Tee shirts.
Needed a work car and this more than exceeded my expectations.
Dealership was great. Hope to deal with them again when my wife needs her next car/ van / SUV.
thanx

I bought a 2008 Kia Rio5 SX Hatchback. It is an automatic, no power options or special features except floor mats and wheels. Cost $22K
The window had a decent rebate to 13400....automatic, ABS and spolier...SX
When I went to get the 0% loan for 60months, they swapped and said I didn't qualify.
So they offered me 1.9%.
Then when I asked why the price went up, they said it was "either" the interest or the rebate.
Then I had to discuss the rebate cash offered on the KIA website, and the salesman acted as if he wasn't aware of that....gee whiz,,,,he sells KIA's everyday, and didn't know that. huh?
I then didn't hit the monthly payment I wanted and tossed down $1,000 more.
I was also a bit concerned about how they made the famous Warranty sound not so good. As if it was a maze of requirements to satisfy the Warranty....OR ELSE!
or else the Warranty is VOID!
the scare tactic or is it real? I don't know. I added extended KIA warranty to have $0 deductible and go the 10yr...though after reading the Kia Warranty manual I am not sure this was a good deal or not.
After all the smoke and mirrors...
I walked off paying $288 a month at 1.9% for 60 months. $1,000 down.
Its a 2009 SX with ABS, brand new.
It wasn't a really fun experience. Its been 10yrs since I bought a car and the shell-scam game seems to still be in full force.
I'm a college student looking at cars, and I found a used Kia Rio the other day. It's a 2007 model with 64k miles on it, and they were asking for $6,000 for it. It comes with only a 60-day warranty from the dealer, but there's an optional extended warranty that will cover it to 100k miles.
Does this sound like a good deal? And can anyone give me a rough estimate as to how much the extended warranty will cost?

The buying process was very painless. I went to the Kia.com website and used the Search Dealer inventory link. I found the car with the exact options I wanted and clicked Request a Quote. The quote was provided via email within a few hours on the VIN# of the car I already checked out on Kia.com.
The price was much better than what other dealers were quoting me over the phone. When I arrived the price never changed from the quote and there were no bait and switch tactics used.
I asked them if it came with the $500 Kia Financing rebate. They said they could do it but the rate would go up 1%. It was basically a wash. Many other dealers had touted the $500 rebate. However, none of them mentioned that it came at the expense of a point on the financing deal. I checked the Kia website and there is no manufacturer's $500 "financing rebate" on this model. It is a dealership incentive (which really isn't much of an incentive).
Cute car and nicely appointed for this class. Good luck shopping!
I'm looking at a 2013 EX trim. I see your subject title says "lease" or did you purchase? When you say "fully loaded" is that inclusive of the rear assist camera; Do you have leather or premium cloth interior? If you got leather WITH the rear assist you got a great deal!! Was there a financing rebate offer or dealer incentive? 17,000 including TT&Fees?! How'd you get that deal, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for taking time to reply! I live in Atlanta.
The car is red with tan/black interior. I think it's very sharp in that combination. I have nearly 800 miles on the car now and love it so far.
Congrats on your new sled...enjoy!!!
