Replying to: craigmri (Oct 27, 2004 2:03 pm) Thanks Craig! The original sales guy that showed us the van, gave us bad info, and never followed up just called me. He's throwing in a year's worth of oil changes so that we're not unhappy. If it makes you feel any better, our sales tax is 6% which is $1,400 on this vehicle.   So what do you think about that $700 advertising fee? Do you think that's a real figure? Hard to believe KIA would charge $700 extra per vehicle to the dealer. The sales guy was still talking about how I got the car for $500 under dealer cost....

Replying to: bluesky2 (Oct 27, 2004 3:26 pm) The Advertising fee sounds like BS to me. As far as getting the Van for $500 below dealer cost, I think they are trying to make you feel like you robbed them but believe me they made money. Probably not alot but they didnt lose anything you can be assured.   Cant wait to read your first post after you pick it up saturday.   Craig '04 Sedona EX

Replying to: bluesky2 (Oct 27, 2004 3:26 pm) Congrats on what sounds like an excellent deal.   I hope you enjoy your Sedona as much as we have enjoyed ours.   We are looking at the Chevy Malibu Maxx and the advertising fees on the legit-looking printouts the salesperson gave us show about $400 in fees. $700 sounds like much more than normal, but I do think it is fairly common for the dealers to pay the manufacturer a few hundred bucks per vehicle for this sort of thing.

http://www.edmunds.com/news/column/lowdownlowpayments/59651/artic- le.html   Looks like you got a good deal.   RE the $700 advertising fee If it was on the Kia invoice, it was probably the dealer's share of national advertising charge. If it was added onto the invoice, it is probably a "suggested" fee meaning he is recouping profit on fees he paid to advertise, and it was negotiable. (Whether he WILL negotiate is another matter).

bought my wife an 04 sage green/silky beige sedona ex with spoiler and everything but the tow pkg.from Bill Byrd Kia in Hoover,Al; including rear dvd entertainment for 23499.21 which included tax, tag and title. salesman was great and made my family very comfortable doing purchase process, they even bought my family dinner after some miscues on the dealership's part after vehicle was not ready to be picked up as promised. even recieved a full tank of gas to boot. bought the van as an early xmas gift for wife in oct. got 2500 rebate then saw they increased rebate by 500 but arranged my own financing 60 mo 4.39%. interest rates increased in the meantime so, i think i did ok what are your thoughts or comments.   ezyone4u Replies to this message: craigmri (Dec 24, 2004 2:08 pm) ezyone4u (Jan 01, 2005 8:56 am) bluedevils (Dec 29, 2004 6:11 am)

Replying to: ezyone4u (Dec 24, 2004 8:18 am) EZ,   Nice choice in color combo.....We have the same colors. Its very rich looking. Soun ds like your out the door price was quite good. I'm assuming you got the ABS and leather.   Craig '04 Sedona EX Replies to this message: ezyone4u (Jan 01, 2005 8:56 am)

Replying to: ezyone4u (Dec 24, 2004 8:18 am) Sounds like a pretty good price, assuming your tax was at least several hundred dollars of the $23,500 total.   The sage green / silky beige is a very upscale look and my favorite Sedona color combo. When we bought our 2002 EX, we chose the Dark Emerald Green / Silky Beige sight unseen, and it was much brighter than we expected when the van was delivered. The Sage Green is much more like what I wanted, but it was not available in the 2002 model year.   Congrats on your van and on finding a solid salesperson.
#113 of 544 Rebates and incentives by whippet Dec 30, 2004 (7:51 am)
I am curious as to whether new incentives & rebates will be offered to replace the current ones which expire on 1/3/05. For the Sedona, there is the $2000 cash back and the $1000 competitive bonus for owners of certain vehicles. It doesn't look like I am going to be in a situation to purchase a Sedona by 1/3/05 since I have been unable to sell my current car. I am guessing that similar rebates/incentives will replace the current ones, but if they dropped the competitive bonus for example, that $1000 may make me want to wait for later in the year. I also imagine that any new incentives/rebates won't be posted or advertised until 1/4/05. Replies to this message: bluedevils (Dec 30, 2004 4:25 pm)
