05 Sedona LX with Value PKG, ABS and DVD for $18,850 after rebate by begacjj

Hello,
 
Yesterday I purchased a new Sage Green 05 Sedona LX for $18,850 after $3000 rebate and before tax and licensing with the following options:
 
Value Package
ABS
DVD
First Aid kit
 
MSRP was $23,485.00
Invoice was $22,035.00
 
After rebate we ended up paying $3185 below invoice so I think we did good? First new car we purchased and it was a breeze. I ended up finding the dealer we used in Kirkland, WA through this site and they were able to offer me a much better deal than the Kia dealer closest to me. Salesman also threw in two roundtrip Airfare tickets to anywhere in the US including Hawaii and Mexico. The only catch is you have to stay a minimum 7 nights at specific hotels and condos but the prices are fair. All in all was very satisfied buying our Kia!

Congrats. That sounds like a good price on that Sedona. You got a lot for your < $19k. Hard to get such a nice package for that price in any other minivan.

We just bought a new 05 EX for 19899, after rebate 15899. Doc fee was 299. 16198 for a new EX!!! This dealership seemed it wanted to move stock. I'm sure they still made $, but how?

Edmunds does not currently list dealer invoice on kia.
 
What is the dealer invoice for the Kia Sedona LX and EX?
Appreciate the help.

It's in Braintree MA 02184. One thing I forgot to mention, the price didn't include sales tax. Hope this helps with your negotiation- good luck.

Sedona 2005 EX by jazacmom

Called the local Kia dealer concerning their ad in this weekend's paper. It says Base price for 2005 Sedona EX (w/leather, sunroof, abs, and more) is $26,880. Then they say take off the $4000 Kia rebate and another $3882 for their own discount. I called, they said to yes take off $7882 off of sticker price....Now my question is, do any of you who are in the know, think that I do just that...take it off of MSRP, or do I offer lower..closer to invoice..and then subtract the discounts?
 
Thanks in advance.

Don't get confused with apples/oranges. The $4000 rebate is yours exclusive of the deal you reach with the dealer. If you choose to use it as downpayment, or whatever, it is the deal between Kia and you, not the dealer. $26880 sounds a bit high for the options you quoted unless there is an entertainment package.
 
 However, if you can get it out the door for $18998 plus TTL, that is a pretty good deal no matter how you slice it. You might haggle for some other options you want, like a bug/stone protector installed, spare keys, hitch or something else. All in all, even if you take the deal "as is" you're getting a pretty decent deal.

Okay, so is the extra $3885 that they are offering a deal between Kia and the dealer and separate from any haggling that I may do to get closer to the invoice?
 
thx.

That's the very question I have asked.
 
I would say the extra $3885 off is the difference between MSRP on the KIA that no one should pay and dealer invoice. The problem is I have been unable to locate the dealer invoice amount for the LX or EX. (Edmunds no longer lists the dealer invoice amounts except on the option packages).
 
Without the dealer invoice amount you are left to wonder how much above or below dealer invoice you are paying.
 
As far as a dealer offering an amount off MSRP that includes a rebate its just a sales tactic. At the end of the day you need to look at the contract and see the bottom line price. For example the dealer may at contract time throw on destination charges which one could argue are or are not part of the starting point of MSRP or other add ons like "etching". If you are unsure of what to do ask for the contract to be written and get a copy but do not sign it. This way you could post the actual numbers and get feedback from the informed members here at edmunds.
 
A buddy of mine has an offer on an EX with DVD for $19,500 and he asked me if that was a good deal. I posted on edmunds to get the dealer invoice and once I obtain it I will find out his exact option packages and have him get a written estimate. Having this information and adding the dealer invoice price available on edmunds I can tell him the price above or below dealer invoice. After that its up to him how much he pays above or below that amount. Just not enough info right now.
