There's no telling what the January 2005 rebates will be, but there will definitely be SOMETHING. Most manufacturers change the rebate programs monthly. Sometimes they improve for the model you are considering, and sometimes they don't.
 
I wouldn't be worried about 'missing out' on the Dec 2004 incentives.
 
Are the figures you quoted, for the *2005* Sedona? I thought Kia was advertising $3000 Sedona cash back on the radio these days. Maybe that is on 2004 models, or maybe it's region-specific for me (Michigan).

yes after reading reviews the leather just made the van feel like we were driving something alot more expensive and the woodgrain trim just adds to the feel of luxury. my wife really loved the color combo as well as my 14 y/o daughter as green is her favorite color and the two tone breaks up the monotony of the solid color paint scheme. the abs was a must have especially after reading about the weight of the vehicle and our insurance gives discounts for safety features.
 
my offer at the time of purchase 22831.00 before tax, tag, title(ttt). the dealer came back with a counter offer of 23499.21 including ttt and it was too good to pass up at the time and after arranging my own financing and beating the dealers offers on that by 3% i felt i did pretty well.

Update on rebates and incentives by whippet

Well, I just found out what the rebates & incentives on the Sedona will be for January 05. It is $1900 cash back (down from $2000) on 2005 models and the Sedona competitive bonus program (additional $1000 for owners of certain vehicles) is not currently being offered. Looks like I'm going to hold off on the Sedona for a while. It will be interesting to see whether the two dealerships I have had contact with will want to maintain that contact knowing that I won't being buying anytime soon, or whether they will be OK with staying in touch over the next several months.

Whippet,
 
Your patience will most likely pay dividends as the farther into 2005 we get the closer we get to the release of the redesigned '06 Sedona. I have no doubt they will be giving away the '05's at that time.

Seems like a good price. In March 2004 my Sedona EX with ABS and sunroof had an MSRP with freight and handling of $24,040. I negotiated a price of $18,868 and then subtracted a $3000 rebate and $4000 trade-in allowance for a 1998 Windstar with 85,000 miles. Final take home cost with tax, DMV charges, etc was $12,958.20.
 
For the home oil change enthusiasts, I found the Kia oil filter (26300-35501)on a Hyundai parts site for about $38 and change for a case of 10. Of course there is shipping to consider but it was less than half the price of the dealer who charged $10.07. https://www.hyundaipartsonline.com/index.php

aaf,
 
You mean you got your Sedona(which had a sticker of $24,040) and after the rebate you got it down to $15,868(before your trade)? No offense intended but this doesnt sound right. Was this a demo vehicle?

Hi Craig,
I have the window sticker, purchase contract and odometer disclosure statement in front of me that all indicate it was a new 2004 Sedona EX. I verified the build date via the VIN on the Kia website. BTW,I also was given free routine maintenance for 36,000 miles.
I bought at the end of the month in March of 2004, paid cash and allowed my trade to go for about $1000 less than I should have. However, I think I got a good deal and I never met a car dealer who didn't make a profit...so I see it as a win-win situation.
I think the best tip I can give is to use the dealer invoice as a starting point for negotiation on a car. Research vehicles that are having trouble picking up market share and buy where there are a lot of vehicles on the lot at the end of the month in a slow time of the year. The most important thing is to always be ready to walk away.
I think that just as they give rebates to customers, they have dealer incentives to move stock. It just happens that the Sedona is a great value and I bet it gets more and more difficult to negotiate a below invoice price as the public becomes more aware of that fact.
