Say a consumer buys a vehicle for $20,000. But oops - the dealer also charged a $3,000 doc fee. Which is more useful to other consumers - the $23,000 figure or the $20,000 figure? I anxiously await your reply.

2005 Sedona EX Standard Options by philberto

2005 Sedona EX Standard Options Price Quote
 
19,425 bottom line (tag and title)
20,616 with 6% FL sales tax and 0.5% county surcharge on first 5,000 ($25)
 
Basic Breakdown on Credits and Charges
-3500 rebate
-1500 dealer discount
+400 service charge (dealer prep crap)
 
Is this a good deal? I like the proposed features of the upcoming 2006 Sedona, but price is not yet established and this new design does not have any track record. The added features look good, but I think the new styling with the slanted roof and "fly car" headlamps is not so nice. The 05 Sedona has a very nice look.
 
So, what do you think on the deal?

Speaking of track record, have you followed the Kia Sedona problems forum? You might want to look before you leap

Yes I have. I know the fires have been a huge concern. As far as I can tell, it's been on the 03 model. The alternator issue is covered. The battery issues are really minor. Anyone who refuses to change a old battery, especially when it is having trouble starting the van, can't cry when it explodes. You have to have some common sense.
 
Other issues have been covered. When I look at other vans, some of those complaints are far more extensive and NOT covered in some cases. Look at the EXPENSIVE Quest brake issues!
 
Overall, I do not see too many reasons not to buy this reasonably priced van.

For about $21,000 now you can get into an Odyssey or Sienna. Hey, to each his own. Best wishes

Well...the deal just got better. The dealer said I get another $1000 off for being a Caravan owner. The brings the 05 Sedona EX to 19,555 (tax included) out the door, Too good to resist !

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion.
I understand that you do not understand. I'm sorry about that.
I know I gave a lot of information. If you re-read it I think you will understand. I think most other readers understood.
For those of us who like the whole cost story, details in the letter body are necessary.
I think you are wrong about what I should write. It is my post.
If readers only look at the titles and skip the text bodies, then they will miss the intent of the writers.
Its just common sense.
Again, thank you for your post.
