Most of the SXs I've seen have the Convenience Package (Automatic Climate Control, rear window sunshade, heated seats, power passenger seat) and Premium Package (Infinity 6CD audio system, SIRIUS and Power Moonroof). While I would kinda like Moonroof, I think I can live without either package. I'm thinking about offering $15k OTD for it....any input???
Note- the $15k out-the-door price wouldn't include sales tax because the car is located outside of the state where I live. I will still have to pay Georgia sales tax on $15k when I register the car within 30 days of purchase.
Obviously you're getting a better sound, seating and climate system with the EX, but you're also getting a car that"s two model years older (within a month or so), will soon be outdated by a spectacular new car, and has 5000 miles on it. Also, 5300 miles is a bit high for a demonstrator.
I haven't priced the Edmunds calculator, and I know the cost of used cars has risen quite a bit lately, but I think you're at least $1500 too high.
So are my 12k rates correct and what are the actual 15k rates?
On the ex w/ tech package and ex turbo. msrp is 27/29k
I just want to get a feel for the lease prices on this car.
I like the cloth seats, but I also like dual zone, heated mirrors, compass, fog lights.
Surprisingly, I really liked the proximity key the first time I tried it. I thougt it was a useless gadget, but it grew on my quickly.
About $1900 difference in sticker for the LX vs. EX with no toys.
Car stickered at $28,975 with Premium Package, Floor mats & Cargo Net. Dealer Discount was $1,985 & I qualified for Competitive Rebate of $500.
Bottom line selling price was $26,490.
Tax: $1,589.40
Doc Fees, PA Tags & Tire Tax: $217.65
Total Paid: $28,257.05
My sales person at Wyoming Valley Motors made the entire process so easy. The dealers in Pittsburgh couldn't find me a Corsa Blue SX without Navigation, so I searched dealer websites for one until i found this one in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5 hours away. (They actually had 7 SX's!) I sent an email asking about the car. They replied promptly it was still on the lot & when I wanted to come drive it. I verified optional equipment on my next email. On my third I asked for a price. I had the price in about 5-10 minutes of receiving his first response to my inquiry. No high pressure. They held the car til i was off on saturday with a minimal deposit. Though I did not trade my Toyota in, they were spot on where other dealers were giving me for my trade.
I am offering $26,600 + NC 3% tax and tags.
Any information, ideas? Thank you!
28,580 for the SX fully loaded plus tax and tags. Threw in the Ipod cable for me too.
The salesman said it was simple interest. I'm not too concerned because I primarily took out the loan to get the Kia Finance $500 credit, and I expect to pay the loan off in 2 or 3 months. Then I'll take off the collision/comp and go back to running liability & uninsured/underinsured only. The upgraded alarm might come in handy without collision/comp because they will pay for the vehicle if stolen. Anyway, drove it home today; have over 450 miles on it already. Some things are superior to the Saab, some things not. The synchros are excellent, red illumination on stereo, not so great, and since I cannot see the steering wheel buttons at all, except for phone button, I had to memorize all the buttons today. That is truly a design defect, IMO, but rather easily rectified.
Guess what? I am saying the same thing right now - and a TL would be 10K more! The Optima is amazing with all of it's features!! Many of the things it has are not even available for any car in this price range. (Bluetooth streaming audio, heated rear seats, cooled front seats, etc..)
I had two concerns going in to this purchase - the "left pull" issue and the "hard seats". I am satisfied with both of these right now. No left pull - and the seats are just fine. I mean come on - this is a car - not a recliner.
Warranty - 10/100,000 power train and 5/50,000 bumper to bumper is great.
The car is hard to find - equipped the way you want it and in the right color / wheels. I spent about 3 weeks looking at dealers within 100 miles of my house. The good news - the EXACT car I wanted showed up at my local dealer. The bad news - when I asked for the price they wanted $3,000 over sticker. Come on - I thought the industry was past that. I would think the Kia dealers would all be pumped up that they had a hot car - and new customers! I will never visit this dealer again.
The even better news for me - the car I wanted got traded to the dealer I bought it from. That dealer made a great deal with me - and we did it all via e-mail. I got a buyers order sent to me via e-mail and when I arrived in person - there were no games. It was nearly painless. The dealer was about 90 minutes from my house - in Rockford, IL. It was well worth the drive.
I managed to get $1,000 in Kia rebates and the 1.9 % financing.
5 days into the new car - and I am loving it!
Also - a couple of you mentioned a $500 financing incentive. Is this still on? I can't find it listed on Edmunds or Kia's sites.
Actually, it's a new car. It should be more comfortable than my 10 YO car. It's not. As for the left pull, killed in action has issued a TSB on that.
Enjoy the car.
What was your final price before TTL?

Trade in equity - $98 (turned in a lease)
Tax, tag, doc - $1,448
TOTAL - OTD -- $29,231
Another dealer called today and I told him they beat his price by $2000 he said they didn't make any money on this deal and maybe lost some.. said he could not match it
Either your dealer is going out of business selling a very hot car at a loss(hardly) or the dealer that called you is lying. Guess which one is correct.
Anybody else having issues finding Optimas at a reasonable price?
I'm finding it impossible to get the color/package I want at a fair price. Same goes for the Sonata. Not to mention dealer responses and approach is terrible, many places don't even respond in a timely manner. I'm somewhat in the same boat...almost seems I should wait till the 2012s. Is September a concrete timeline for that?
I've had better luck finding the Sonata Turbo's up here and getting a price under MSRP, but frankly, I don't like looks of the Sonata as much as the Optima and the option packages on the Sonata aren't great (i.e. you can't get the SE with all leather or heated seats). The Sonata's I have found are in colors I don't like with interiors I can't stand (wine color for example).
I'll probably just stick it out until the availability is better. I refuse to pay MSRP or more for something that I should be able to get for a grand or two less. I might just start looking at a Mazda 6 Grand Touring or a Ford Fusion V6 AWD for the same price.
I like both cars and it would likely come down to which turbo I found first in my color scheme with options, and best price. Seems that Kia, although cheaper, isnt dealing as well as Hyundai is. I am hoping the forecast is greater for both, because I'm with you, I am not paying MSRP.
A real slimy experience but am happy that we ended up with a positive buying experience with the local store.
