Replying to: caseybea (May 19, 2006 3:14 pm) When I drove my 2003 first time on salted roads on the East Coast, my Sedona wheels had marks on them from the salt, and the start of some pitting. It took me several hours to polish most of the marks out. That is when I went on-line to buy the steel wheels. I already knew I was going to buy all season snow tires. Now the tire place does free rotations at change of season. Good luck with your plan on running the alloys year around. Frequent washing will help. Might recommend that you coat the alloys with a good metal polish before the start of winter to give yourself a fighting chance come spring. |

Hi, folks, I just found this forum and we're about to spring for a new 2006 Sedona EX with Power Package (PK) in Glacier Blue. We're getting Costco pricing from Kiefer Kia in Eugene, Oregon, which is supposedly $500 over "invoice." We're paying cash for all but $5000, which we plan on financing through Kia at their 3.9% APR rate. Here's the deal we are getting, which after reading some of the recent posts here, may not be so much of one as others are getting: $26,265 MSRP for base EX $ 1,000 MSRP for Power Package (PK) - power doors, hatch ------- $27,265 MSRP total Kiefer Kia claimed "invoice" for above model: $25,752 $ 500 Costco price ------- $26,252 ($ 1,000) Kia incentive --------- $25,252 $ 218 DMV fees -------- $25,470 OTD price, all fees I thought this was a good deal and gave the dealer a $500 deposit over the phone to hold it, since this is the exact model and color we want, and there's no other ones around like this in the area. Questions: 1. Is this a good deal, or could we have done better? 2. Now that I've given them a deposit, is it too late to negotiate further?  TIA. - MG

Replying to: motogeek (May 26, 2006 5:12 am) $27,700 -1000 Kia Incentive + 3.9 financing if I want it. $26,700 Plus I can get the 2K off for competitive rebate.. That was just a note to the internet person asking what I could get one for. I think I can do much better yet.. Deal seems pretty similar to yours.. Good luck! SB |

Replying to: motogeek (May 26, 2006 5:12 am) We just paid $23699. out the door for the base Sedona EX in red, and we didn't get any of their rebates, incentives or advertised 3.9% financing. We originally test drove this model at Keifer Kia in Eugene, Oregon last week, and then started putting out feelers over the Internet for competitive pricing. To make a long story short, our salesman at Keifer checked with the "big boss" and couldn't or wouldn't come close to any of the offers we received from out of town. He lied about the invoice price, I suppose assuming we didn't know any better, and when I confronted him about it he stopped responding to my emails altogether. Meanwhile, two Internet dealers in the Portland area starting playing hardball with each other for our business, which got really exciting. A particular saleswoman at Weston Kia in Gresham won us over and made our buying experience truly enjoyable. HOWEVER, there is an ironic addendum to this tale. My husband wanted to know why the car we were buying had 161 miles on it, and it turns out Weston Kia had to do a dealer trade with Keifer Kia to get the exact model and color we wanted. They had to drive it from Eugene to Portland, and we had to drive from Eugene to Portland to pick it up and bring it back! And yes, you guessed it folks.. We ended up with the exact car we had test driven in Eugene a week earlier! For convenience sake, we would much rather have bought the car through Keifer, but we feel that in our case they were deceptive and not people we wanted to deal with. In your situation, I believe you could probably shave a few hundred dollars off your final price if you were willing to go to Portland, but you would have to weigh the potential savings against the cost of your time, gas, and aggravation to get there. I don't know about negotiations once you've made a deposit, but you can get your deposit back if you change your mind. Good luck! |

Great to find this forum as a new 2006 KIA Sedona owner! Price paid for an EX with luxury and power options from Ryan dealership just outside Philadelphia: $27,750 less $2,000 competitive rebate less $1,000 financing rebate (3.9%) for a total of $24,750 not including the usual taxes and tags, etc. We internet shopped two local dealers, maybe could have done better? But Ryan had the color (olive gray) and leather (tan) combo we wanted. Excellent buying experience from start to finish with this dealership and would recommend highly. Compared to Odyssey EXL this new Sedona seemed like a bargain to us and after a few days behind the wheel very pleased with performance, features, finish and styling. |

| My wife and I live on Long Island, Ny and were looking for a 2006 Kia Sedona Ex with all three packages. We own a 2003 Sedona Ex with 49K trouble free miles on it but fell in love with the new model. So, we went to and called 6 dealerships and none of the dealerships had a Sedona with all three packages in stock. At the time [before 5/31] there were great incentives $2000 owner loyalty, 3.9% financing plus $1000 cash back for financing through Kia. We figured with a good deal on our trade, the rebates and financing, and some haggling to try to get it below invoice we would go for it. Since we didn't find anyone with it in stock we have to wait because the new incentives are not that good. The incentives that expired on the 31st of May were very enticing the new ones you can't combine the rebates with the financing,the financing is a higher rate, and you don't get the $1000 rebate for financing through Kia. Hopefully, they will come out with better incentives went these expire. | |

| We just got our fully loaded Sedona EX with Luxury, power and Premium entertainment packages. MSRP $31,365. sold for $250 under Dealer Invoice, less $1500 rebate. Total price before tax, etc $27,710. A great buy, at least $5000 less than a comparably equipped Toyota or Honda. Most pain free car buying experience ever. Found car on Internet last night at a dealership 50 miles away (Fairfield Kia). Was given the best price without any negotiation whatsoever (Most dealers were at $200 over invoice)and the car was delivered to my doorstep. Fairfield Kia is highly recommended. I hope the car lives up to expectations. | |
We got ours 3 weeks ago, EX fully loaded with Power, Luxury and Entertainment packages in Sunset Gold. Beautiful van. Got a great deal, paying $24300 after rebates at Sholz Kia in White Plains, NY. Very good buying experience.
