Replying to: caseybea (May 10, 2006 2:08 pm)  The 06 Sedona is light years ahead of the 05 Sedona in so many ways (power, MPG, safety, features, interior space, etc), you did the right thing going with the 06. My local dealer was also practically giving away the 05's, and it did not seem like people were very interested. DO NOT get the paint protection or undercoating. I have purchased about eight brand new vehicles in my life and have NEVER purchased any of these dealer scams. Congrats! Keep everyone posted on your new van.

Replying to: dc_driver (May 10, 2006 6:25 pm) Agreed 100%. I *always* buy my vehicles (not that I've bought many- 4? 5?) in the Fall, when there are always tons of sizeable rebates, etc. Sadly, I cannot wait, as I need a vehicle now. Thanks for confirming my dollar figures above. Also, thanks for confirming my thoughts about not getting the dealer add-on moneymakers...

Replying to: caseybea (May 10, 2006 7:59 pm) Even though I bought an Odyssey a few weeks ago, I am impressed with the Kia/Hyundai vans. As fast as these vans are getting, maybe we can drag race sometime and see which van comes out on top

Got it last night - Sedona EX (Red). See my recent earlier post regarding exactly what I paid. No surprises - they of course wanted to sell the protection package(s), but didn't push it too hard - my sales guy KNEW my answer already. Only downside: I discovered while preparing to leave, that the driver-side sliding door does not "click and stay open" like it should- the little latch/switch doesn't work. Meanwhile, the sales guy was pressing me to give him top scores on the Kia survey........ (it's so pitiful to hear the survey sob story..). I ended up telling him that I'd be MUCH happier doing the survey if he could arrange for a free oil change or two (hey, 40 bucks is 40 bucks) since I was leaving the lot with a new vehicle that had an issue (and I would have to find time to come back and have it dealt with). I got what I needed- now just gotta find time to go back there and have them tweak or replace the switch so it works (no charge, of course). Was that a huge financial victory? Certainly not, but it was the principle of the thing.  Anyway, the sales dude earned 10 stars anyway because overall, he was VERY knowledgeable about the vehicle when I was first looking at it, and best of all, he wasn't pushy- you have no idea how much that turns me off. He knew I was well-prepared, and we got along fine. Thus far, I'm incredibly happy with the vehicle- I programmed the homelink transmitter to open my garage last night- pretty cool feature......

As a current owner of an '04 Sedona EX(Wife's van), I'm in need of a new vehicle for myself. This vehicle will be used for work. I get a monthly allowance of $400 and they pay for all my gas(Company gas card). I was thinking about a number of options for my wife and I would take over her Sedona for work. Now I'm wondering about simply buying a leftover '05 LX if one could be had really inexpensively. Has anyone heard of any screaming deals out there? Craig |

| Supposedly the dealers have '05 Sedonas for something like a $5,000 rebate- which is pretty darned good........... | |

Last time I checked the Kia website, the rebate was indeed $5,000 on 2005 Sedonas -- at least in my state (Michigan). So you should be looking at $5,000 below invoice, maybe even further below invoice if there's any competitor or loyalty discounts on the 2005 Sedonas or if the dealer is simply willing to deal below invoice to get a really old, previous-generation van off his lot. So you should be looking at a 2005 at a pretty good price. |

I'm about to purchase a Kia Sedona EX and would like to know if anyone knows what the advertising fees are running in Southern California.

I've been researching the Sedona for months and finally talked DH into a test drive last week. He fell in love with it, and this is a man who sold Dodge Caravans for a living and despised them. I've Internet-queried several dealers in the area, and their price quotes for the EX, including destination charges and no added packages, run from $23944. to $25144. Unfortunately, the best quote is from a dealership over 100 miles away. We're planning to use our home equity line to purchase, so won't qualify for any rebates or incentives. What do you think?
