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. |

Replying to: averigejoe (Oct 29, 2005 5:49 pm) The best I can get on a Sienna is a couple hundred under invoice, putting just the base level model (with cruise control and roof rack) at about $21,100 after the $1000 rebate (add more for window tinting). I couldn't hear any outside road noise when I drove it and their is a ton of room in the back. The fold away seats are nice too. I could live with the Sedona though if only they could give me a much better price.

Replying to: coffmlu (Oct 29, 2005 6:10 pm) Is an Odyssey out of the running? I hear they are roomy, handle really well and are powerful and fun to drive. I did not really shop for anything but the Sedona because I was convinced only it had the equipment I wanted for a price I'd be willing to pay. Oh, and the warranty was a big reason too. |

Replying to: windnotastar (Nov 24, 2005 5:05 am) 2. How much is the Windstar worth? A trade-in makes it tougher to figure out how good a deal you are getting on the new vehicle. Look up the Windstar's value -- both private party sale and trade-in value-- on a couple sites and see what they are going for on autotrader.com. If the dealer is offering $1500 for it, chances are they will try to clean it up and get $4000-5000 for it on their lot and you might be able to get $3000 for it on your own. 3. Did you arrange the 6.6% financing yourself, or was it offered by the dealer? If the dealer offered it, chances are you could do better arranging your own. They might have gotten a 5.5% or 6% rate from one of the banks they work with and are pocketing the difference and offering you only 6.6%. |

| I bought a 2005 Kia Sedona LX with the Value Package (keyless entry, captain's chairs, roof rack) and ABS brakes. Price $19,500 including tax, title, tags. This $19,500 was after the rebate. Was this an acceptable price or could I have done better? | |

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am considering purchasing a usd 2005 Kia Sedona. I am looking for a replacement car for my used 1992 Toyota Camry. It's not broke yet but has 147,000 miles on it and I'd like something larger, safer, and more reliable for my child. We'd love a mini van for all the usual reasons plus we had to evacuate Florida for a hurricane last year and it was no fun for all being stuffed with our most precious belongings in my hubby's 4 cyl Mazda protege! I could really use some advice. We can get a 2005 Kia Sedona Ex from a private individual w/ 250 miles on it for $16,000. It is also loaded with leather/moonroof and ABS. It does not seem to be a crash or flood car. I checked the carfax and also reviewed paper work. It was bought north of us locally where there has been no flooding etc. He got it due to family pressure but really wanted a truck instead. The guy owns a recreational trailer park near a local attraction. Appears very authentic. Anyway, with tax and title it would be approx $17,320. We can geta new 2005 from dealer for $19,604 w/tax due to $4200 rebate. It would be an LX with convenience package but no moonroof/leather/ABS. On the used there would be a 4 year warranty (one year used up) and no 100000 power train (only original owner gets this). It's a tight call. Should we go with the new and get the new finance rate and the total warranty package as new? Or save $2,300 and get a very lightly used but lose some warranty. Also, the old car does have all the bells etc which retails for $2000 extra so.... we could then be saving $4000 or so total. But we don't have to have leather and moon roof. ABS is the thing I will really miss... On top of that, I wonder if I shouldn't just wait for the Kia end of year 2006 sale with the redesigned MPG savings etc. So far my car is still going. It has been a great car for the last 12 years. I literally bought it from an old lady with 5000 miles on it. It is just getting old and I worry about safety etc with child. And God help us this summer if we have to evacuate again. Any advice appreciated so I can move on Thanks! MaryL Mom to one 4 year old

Replying to: momcar (Jan 10, 2006 11:12 am) How did you arrive at $19,604 for the new 2005. Did you take the rebate off invoice price? With the new 2006 model coming out I would think you may be able to get a better price. If you can wait....I would wait for the new and improved 2006 model...though you probably won't get the discounts currently offered on the 2005 models. Good luck. |

Replying to: momcar (Jan 10, 2006 11:12 am) ..I have twin 4-year olds, so we traded in our pickup and got a Sedona ('03, EX w/every bell and whistle). We've really enjoyed it and feel extremely safe with our kids in the vehicle. Our family loves it. Here's what I would do: with the 06 Sedonas coming out (which appear to be great, but more expensive), I would go to the dealer and offer to pay about 19K MAX for a vehicle just like the USED one you're considering (an EX..with sunroof, leather, and MOST DEFINITELY, ABS). The rebates are big right now, and to be honest, we paid 19K (in late December of '03) for the Sedona EX model I just described, totally decked out.  Paying that amount for an LX is TOO much, in my opinion. Good luck!

Replying to: joanc (Jan 11, 2006 1:07 pm) The dealership was offering LXC's for 14,995. I offered that price plus a discounted price for the upgrade to an EX plus the additional items. I live in Minnesota, I was working for a few weeks in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. I bought the van over the internet from dealer in the Dallas area. All the paperwork was handled by FEDEX. My wife, daugthers and grandson flew into Dallas. I had arranged for a reservation service taxi to pick them up at the airport. My wife wrote the sales person a check, and they were on their way to the Rio Grande Valley. They spent no more than 30 minutes at the dealer. I will never visit many dealers looking for deals. I can negotiate with several dealers at one time on the internet. We love the Sedona. We have driven, new Cadillacs, Fords, and Chevrolets. We have 51,000 miles on it. We are thinking about the new 06. Several of the kids would love to get their hands on the 04. Hope, this helps you evaluate your deal. |
