Dealership was Van Grifith Kia in Granbury, TX. They were GREAT to say the least. I actually made the deal over the phone and then simply showed up with my blank CapitalOne check and filled it out. They had all the paperwork ready so I was in and out in about 30 minutes.
BTW, be wary of putting any trust in Edmunds True Market Value. The TMV for my Sorento as equipped is $23,967 including all rebates. As you can see I got my Sorento for over $2,500 LESS than the TMV.
thanks for the great idea.... I have started the e-mailing processes today in New York and I am looking forward to the benefits... Thanks for posting I am so excited for my new sorrento...
I'm looking for a Solara convertible now, but the dealers want too much.
"The list price of this Sorento is $24,440. I CAN OFFER IT TO YOU NOW FOR $19,999 plus ttd.. I hope this is what you are looking for." and "DIFFERENT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE, LIST PRIC EIS $24,440, EX 4WD WITH SUNROOF, POWER SEATS, SIDE AIRS Bags, CD PLAYER, POWER EVERYTHING, KEYLESS ENTRY, ALLOY RIMS AND 100K MILE WARRANTY."
I may take this $20,000 quote if I don't get anything better.
Look at the internet quote I got! .. ugh
MSRP 29,310.00
Discount/Incentives 4,503.00
Sales Price 24,807.00
DC 7%/procesing fee/tags 2,106.95
Frieght 670.00
Total out the Door 27,583.95
I will sell you the Sorento EX 4x4, with the
Luxury Package, Sunroof, Keyless Entry, Step Bars, Fog Lights,
Leather , Spoiler, Side Air Bags, C/D player and Cassette, and the
10year 100k warranty. The MSRP is 29,310 and the price for you is,
out the door including freight and 7% DC tax for 27,583.95.
I’m only willing to pay $22,500 at the most .. he must be crazy or maybe I am! But hey it's my money and I want to get what I want if I'm paying cash! :mad:
Well I checked the blue book retail price and that was $23,370 so if he added discounts to it I should not be paying more than $20,000. I guess I have to negotiate when I get there .. ugh.
I also saw a used one that was almost fully loaded with 500 more miles (4,816) than this one with a list price of $22,995 in Baltimore, MD - so I know the price they are quoting me is to high.
Guess I had to do my own research!
Offer is as follows:
Base on EX 4x2 = $22335 (MSRP = $24,100)
ABS = $531 (MSRP = $595)
Cargo Tray= $57 (MSRP = $75)
Leather Pkg = $804 (MSRP = $900)
Total = $23,727 (MSRP = $25,670)
T, T & L 1,842 (Tax @ 6.5%) ($1,968)
Minus: 3,500 (3,500)
Net cost: $22,069 (Invoice) vs ($24,138)
Seems fair and simple. Would be curious if anyone is getting deals under invoice. Seems like a great car for the money.
My main conern is how many problems are showing up for this car and that they are major in nature in many cases. Any feedback would be appriciated. Thanks.
offer was $200.00 over invoice $23,575. ($26,585. sticker price)
traded 1997 ford explorer with 120,000 mi.
dealer gave $4000. (about $1000. over edmunds price)
got the $2000.00 rebate.
out the door for $17,575. plus a $64.00 processing fee.
hope that helps
e-mailed the dealer looking for a specific color indigo blue, they contacted me the next day, by phone. Had 2 more phone calls over the next 2 days. Bought the car on the phone, dealer delivered the car, mind you I live 80 miles from the dealer. Had 2 minor problems that required a trip to the dealer. In and out of the service dept in 30 min. Without an appointment. :shades:
Here in Fl. it is 699
Also this dealer has clear coat protection at an extra 999
Your deal looks pretty good to me even if you have to pay extra for dealer prep.Joe
What I purchase was model 72422
2005 Sorento LX 4X4
Auto Trans
Antilock Brakes
Carpeted Floor Mats
Cargo Tray
First Aid Kit
Tinted windows
MSRP was $25135 price from Kia dealer in Avondale after rebate $19250 plus tax and licen and doc fees.
I was very happy with the Avondale KIA dealer
For my loan I used e-loan, before going to the dealer, It was fast and easy.
Here are the specs:
Brand new, Silver, '05 EX, Luxury Pkg., ABS, Cargo Tray, First Aid Kit, Mudflaps, and they have to tint the front windows to match the back.
Price = $23,000 CASH does NOT include TTL.
I may try to get them to add the spoiler just before I sign the papers, just as an added kicker. p.s. This is in Nebraska. Is this a good deal???
Radiant Red/Grey 2005 Sorento EX 4X2
Luxury Package
Auto Trans
ABS
Carpeted Floor Mats
Cargo Tray
Rear Spoiler
Tinted windows
Tow hitch
Side Step
Security System
With the $2000 rebate and dealer savings I was quoted 21,000 (msrp 27,925) not including TTL and so I went with it. The buying experience was good it was the financing part that they tried to make some more on. They added their detailing service and only presented 4 financing options. I told them I wanted the fifth that didn't include their insurance, service, etc. Overall a good buying experience.
MSRP after options & dest. charge is $30,045.
Invoice (after options) I believe is $$27,793.
I know there is a cashback of 2500 on the 4wd OR 2.9% (APR)for 60 months. (although I read somewhere this may be 1.9% now... not sure...
what can I realistically expext to pay? (excluding cash back & special aprs) THANKS!!!
I have found a 2005 4wd Kia Sorento EX.
has ABS, Luxury package, load leveling, rear spoiler, first aid kit... the price I have been offered (after $2500 man. rebate and $170 doc fee) is $25,900. does this sound like good deal? also I live in AR and I am buying in OK... how does sales tax work in that case? which state would I pay in?
You pay the AR sales tax once you register it in your state where you live now. The DMV will figure out the market value to determine the sales tax you need to pay. So is this cheaper if you buy in OK than AR after tax?
They tried to nail me on financing thru their bank. I walked out, they called me back; told me they'd sell it at that price if I got my own financing which I did. After reading a ton on the internet these past few days, the lesson learned is NEVER finance thru the dealer. They're moaning that they're losing money on the deal, but I believe Kia is giving the dealers large incentives to get rid of 2005 stock.
In Nov. 2004 I bought a new Sorento EX, 4WD, luxury pkg., Load Leveling, step bars, spoiler, tow pkg., ABS, tray for $24,087.

Good luck....right coast, nc
The Sandman
I wonder if the Sportage would be a better fit for me when the time comes. Still unsure about the long term reliability & quality of the interior parts though. Think I'd rather pony up a little more for the Rav4 or the CRV and get the Toyota/Honda quality. I know one pays a premium for them, but they do set the benchmark in the small ute class...hands down!
Just my $.02 here after having driven the Sorrento about 100 miles.
The Sandman
was up the steering wheel and drivers seat were trashed.
I traded it for a Highlander hopeing for longterm durability. So far so good.As to Sorentos I now have an 03
Sorento EX 4wd which had 38000 on it and it was and is like brand new.It is much higher quality than any American
car I have owned.It absorbs bumps better than the Toyota
and it's quick/light steering make it a breeze to park.
I have two very good SUVs now but gas prices make me wish
I had an economy car.I like sitting up high and all the bells and whistles that comes with the Luxury Package but
poor gas mileage is the price you pay.The Toyota with 3.3
ltr averages 20 and the Sorento with 3.5 ltr averages 15.
I'm curious about the '07 however. New engine, interior/exterior styling changes, more safety, etc. However, I see it won't be available with a manual transmission - bummer. My guess is that we won't find prices near as good for the '07's.
We have some other Kia Sorento discussions that encompass much more than just Prices Paid..

Bottom-line is that I paid attention to all the little fancy foot work the car sales man did and the Finance guy tried to do. The finance guy at one point yelled at my wife and I calling us idiots for calling his bluff. :mad: Well push came to shove and the stores general manger was there and he had to smooth things over with 2 very pissed customers and realized that the money making tactics would not work in this situation, so he offered us every deal, incentive, full trade-in value on my car and made sure we had a fully loaded car the color we wanted to ensure he kept us as a customer. I never had such a bad experience with a car dealership before, it really made my doubt the quality of a KIA vehicle.
So the day we take delivery of our brand new 05 Kia Sorento that is supposed to be “Fully Loaded” .it was missing all kinds of things, such as the rear spoiler, floor mats, step bar, mud flaps, cargo net, and a few more things. I am not sure if they really did not know that all these things were missing or maybe we would not notice until it was too late, but regardless I noticed right away and the car salesman (same guy who sold us the car) tried to tell me that the Sorento we agreed to purchase for the money we paid was the one right in front of us and it does not included all those extras. I then pulled all my paperwork and looked and saw that everything I mentioned above was typed into the contract and once again the dealership tried to pull a fast one on us. At this point I just wanted my old car back and told the general manager that I was going to make a formal complaint against his employees to the state and City for dealership fraud. At that point he was begging to make this all right, I just wanted what we agreed upon and wanted it all done right away. He tried to get me to agree that I would not make a formal complaint against his dealership, I refused but they did rectify everything in the end and it only took 1 extra day and a big headache. Oh yeah they never removed the plastic that covers all the floors in the SUV, to this day I still have some plastic covering the floorboard..
I will never go to the KIA of Glendale, CA. Dealership again and would recommend that everyone to go elsewhere. :mad:
I would recommend a Kia to people the Sorento has been great, every time I have driven it it has been a fun SUV, it is mainly my wife’s car and she loves it, as long as she is happy with the SUV then so am I.

Is this a good deal? I believe that the rebate is $4500 now although I don't see that posted anywhere. The rebate was not part of the deal; I'm assuming that the dealer took it direct.
We are seriously considering purchasing an '07 Sorento EX or '07 Sportage EX and thus, I am VERY interested in your purchase price. Could you please tell me if your new Sorento is 4x4? Do you know how much below invoice Kia quoted you? Also, was the $2,500.00 rebate a "graduate" or military rebate in addition to base manufacturer rebate?
Any info. on final Kia Sporento purchase price from you or others would be GREATLY appreciated right now ASAP. Thanks!!
