#25 of 544 take a drive to UTICA NY! by smulvey Aug 17, 2003 (7:49 pm)
The dealer in UTICA NY has at least 20 Sedonas sitting on the front row!   UTICA is a dying town as far as joblessness. They must figure people gotta have cars and Sedonas are a great value.   I highly reccomend you check this out and maybe you can get some service ,maybe it could be a stock sedona delivered via your local dealer but without goofy add-ons.

Bought my 2003 EX in Nov 2002 via the Internet from Pence in Richmond, VA. Absolutely no hassles from them. They split the cost of dealer added accessories with me, and even cheerfully refunded the cost of the front mudflaps since the 2003 model already has them in front as std equipment. (chg from 2002). Although I missed the rebates, no buyer's remorse here. Good van for good value. I now have almost 13k miles on the van, and will be buying another one when this one expires, if it continues to do well.

We are thinking of buying our first Sedona. Does anyone have any recommendations for (or warnings against) Kia dealers in the DC metro area?

Don't have DC Metro experience, but remember that there are plenty of dealers out there, and don't let one 'force' you into a vehicle that you don't want. It didn't take much looking for us to find what we wanted (that leather was a deal killer), and as luck would have it, that dealer was willing to work with us.   And if the SE Pennsylvania and Delaware dealers weren't going to be helpful, I was more than ready to go into Maryland. So from DC Metro, you have Baltimore area, Annapolis, and Northern VA, should give you a wide range of choices.
#30 of 544 What was your out the door price? by tray114 Sep 15, 2003 (10:00 am)
I'm looking to purchase a 2003 Kia Sedona. I live in NJ.   I don't want to spend more than $22K. Am I reasonable? Is it available for less?   Also, what are the finance rates available now through Kia (for a 48 month loan with $5000 down)?
#31 of 544 tray 114/ prices by smulvey Sep 15, 2003 (4:01 pm)
The Kia dealer in Utica NY has them for $ 17000
#32 of 544 ljcs - pricing by bluedevils Sep 15, 2003 (6:13 pm)
You should be able to do quite a bit better than $22,000 (before tax).   There's a $2,000 rebate on 2003 Sedonas right now. According to the Kia website as of right now, APR is 0% to 36 months, 0.9% to 48, and 1.9% for 60. You can choose rebate or low APR financing, NOT both. Do your own math to figure out exactly which is a greater benefit for you; this depends on the alternate APR you'd get elsewhere and how much you are putting down. Current Kia owners get an extra $1,000 cash back. This has actually caused me to think about buying another Sedona, even though we have absolutely no need for one! My rough guess is a loaded 2003 Sedona EX could be had for less than $20,000 including the $2,000 rebate and extra $1,000 owner loyalty rebate.   On 2004 Sedonas, there's a $1,000 rebate or low APR financing as follows: 0% to 24 months, 1.9% to 36, 2.9% to 48, or 3.9% to 60.   Incentives end 9/30/03, but like other manufacturers will probably be extended.   With decent credit, looks like you could get 48 month financing around 4.25%. Most folks would be better off taking the rebate and arranging their own financing - 4.25% is pretty darn good. That's Peoplefirst.com's (they are now a Capital One company) current advertised rate; it's a quarter-point lower through Costco if you are a member.   Edmunds' True Market Value (TMV) calculator pegs target price at about $500 over invoice, not including rebates. On a loaded 2003 EX with all but rear spoiler (I don't like it): $24,845 MSRP $22,625 invoice $23,063 Edmunds TMV   I'd shoot for invoice since the 2004 models are hitting dealer lots. $200-400 over invoice shouldn't require much haggling at this point. So after the $2k rebate, you're looking at about $20,600. A loaded Sedona is a tremendous value at that price.   Borrowing $17,000 at 4.25% for 48 months, that's $385.74 a month, total interest costs about $1,515. At 1.9%, it's $368.07, total interest costs about $667. So you save about 850 bucks taking Kia's financing, which makes the $2,000 rebate the far better choice for almost all Sedona buyers.   I wasn't planning on doing the math for you, but I'm bored.
#33 of 544 pricing/destination by chris209 Sep 15, 2003 (9:26 pm)
Thanks Bluedevils! Didnt see you mention destination charge. Should I expect to pay that as well? I am looking at 2003 sedona lx with abs. $19,198 - $2,000rebate =17,198 + $300 ($200-400 over invoice) $17,498.? Or should I be able to do better?

Sounds like some killer deals!   Steve, Host
