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.

Replying to: fatherted (Jun 20, 2006 10:08 am) I am in the process of possibly purchasing a 2006 Kia EX fully loaded from Sholz Kia in White Plains and saw your post. I was wondering if the price you got included any trade in or only rebates? I appreciate your time. Thank you, |

Just purchased a Glacier Blue 2006 Sedona LX from Corning Kia in Northern California. Total price paid inclusive of all taxes, fees & charges was $23,298 The purchase experience was a none like I have experienced before. When we arrived on the lot we explained to the salesman that we liked the LX but wanted to test drive one. He photocopied our drivers licences handed us a set of keys and told us to go for it!! We returned about 45 minutes later and the sales guy asked if we liked the van and did we want a price quote, which we did. After very little discussion to clarify if we wanted financing (we did not) or had a trade-in (no) he handed us a written quote proclaiming it was the best he could do and invited us to shop around. Total time at the dealer excluding the test drive, 30 minutes. Over the next two days we visited the six other Nothern Cal Kia dealers, and sure enough, none came closer than $150 to Cornings quote. Picked up the Sedona last night, and as a thank you we received coupons for 5 free oil chages. This time we are at the dealership a total of 40 minutes!! The total lack of pressure, arguments or intimidation was very refreshing. Hopefully the ownership experience will go as well. I would buy from this dealership again. |

| Hello all...we're not quite ready to trade in our '03 EX yet (we're waiting for used ones to start appearing), however, I wanted to pass along that at least in the Kansas City area, advertised prices in the paper for brand NEW LX's are $18,995 (NOT including tags & taxes). You should not pay more than that price or the dealers are getting too much of your money! Hope that info helps...Joan | |
