Replying to: fortyfiver (Sep 18, 2005 4:01 am) If you really just wanted to record the call instead of picking a fight with the phone rep, you should have recorded it without telling him. It sounds like you knew he was going to say what he said. Kia's customer service phone system is no better or worse than anybody else's. They are all like that, and the person on the other end of the line rarely, if ever, has any authority or knowledge to resolve customer problems.

Replying to: fortyfiver (Sep 14, 2005 6:07 am) RE the security stripe...you can confirm with Kia, but if it is a mandatory dealer installed option, they back it with the 5 yr/60k bumper to bumper. That is what was on the bug gard info I was given. However, if it is just something aftermarket that the dealer sticks on to increase his profit margin, I'd guess you'd have to press Kia hard if it failed and the dealer won't make it right. From Kia website: "All Genuine Kia Parts and Accessories are designed and manufactured to provide a precise fit and years of trouble-free service. Kia stands behind this quality with a 5-year/60,000 mile warranty when the Parts or Accessory is installed prior to delivery of your new Kia vehicle. Parts or Accessories installed by a Kia dealer after vehicle delivery carry a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty or the remainder of the 5-year/60,000 mile warranty, whichever is longer. For the do-it-yourselfer, the warranty is 12-months, unlimited mileage. See your Kia dealer for further details." |

Replying to: bluedevils (Sep 19, 2005 3:27 am) Remember the flap over Monica Lewinsky getting recorded? Some states have very strict wiretapping laws while with others it is just due regard. I don't think I'd record someone without knowing my state's rules...but I agree with the rest. Sounds like 45'er just needs to vent. Must admit that the more automated the world gets, the less personal it seems. I'm sure there are a few folks working for that dealership who actually DO care. The trick is finding one who is in power to do something about it. I'd try talking to my local newspaper reader advocate to see if they have any leverage. Bad press is almost always a way of getting action. |

Since '05 models are still stuck at the dealer lots, what is the best price I should expect to get on either the LX or the EX? Some people here have said they got their EX models for really low prices. Is it really possible to get an EX with ABS for around $17,000? I was quoted $200 under invoice minus the $3500 rebate, which puts it around $19,000. I could understand getting the LX model for that much.

Replying to: coffmlu (Oct 29, 2005 1:37 pm) How much is a Sienna with comparable equipment? Anyway, here is what my original post looked like: Post # 140 Best deal? $ 16560 for EX with Sunroof, ABS, DVD by averigejoe Jul 14, 2005 (6:08 am) Reply | E-mail Msg Brand new 2004 Sedona EX with anti-lock brakes and sunroof and dealer-installed integrated DVD entertainment system, window tint, and pinstripe. MSRP was $ 24,020 without dealer installed options. The DVD was an additional $799, window tint $299, pinstripe $299 so full dealer sticker price was $ 25,417. That was not my purchase price. September 2004 purchase price was $ 16,700 including all items listed above. That does not include tax, license, nor the $350 document fee. (As part of the $16,700, I figure I paid $100 for the window tint and $40 for the pinstripe.) To complete the deal, I also bought a service contract for an additional $180. It prepays up to 12 oil and filter changes available during the first 36 months of ownership. $15 for each dealership oil change seemed like a good deal to me. There was no trade-in. Rebates totalling $4500 were assigned to the dealer to arrive at the $16,700 price. Anyone get a better deal?

Replying to: averigejoe (Oct 28, 2005 12:01 pm) I didn't really like the loud road noise and the small cargo space. Also, you can't move around the second row seats making it difficult to get in and out. I also calculated that this van will probably end up costly me a couple thousand extra dollars in gas compared to a more fuel efficient van. I'd have to get an incredible deal to make up for all of this. Maybe later in year, but I won't wait that long. |
