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 | |

O.k. so one of the dealers here in town just got in what my wife wants. Red Sedona EX with all 3 packages. Dealer tells me they will give me invoice pricing minus rebates so I'm thinking this is a slam dunk if my trade values out right. They send me the invoice price of $29,638. Edmunds lists it at 28,895. The internet salesperson tells me that there have been 4 price increases that Edmunds hasn't kept up with and offers to fax me the invoice.. What should I do here? Believe them or run away while I still have my money? Thanks!

Host: any idea why Edmunds is behind? Should I pay that $568.00 Marketing Allowance? That is the regional advertising fee. It's a legitimate cost to the dealer, and is part of the real invoice.

I found this area when I bought my Pontiac G6 a few weeks ago. I saw this group and thought I would mention that I bought a Sedona EX, a 2002, in DEC of 2001. I drive about 85 mniles a day and have 100K plus miles on it now. I had not had lot of trouble out of it and still love it. It has all the options available at the time except sunroof and rear spoiler. I bought it when I was visiting my son in Pensacola, FL. I paid 19K and change, can't remember exactly now. I called back to VaBch, where I live< to see if dealer could match price. I prefer to buy local if possible. They were 3K more than in FL so I got it there and drove back to VA. Below are the issues I have had. When it was about a month old I got a stress crack in the windshield. Of course the dealer wanted to say it was road hazard, but I knew it wasn't. It was cold one morning and when I closed the door I saw the crack happen. I finally told the service guy to fix it under warranty or get the KIA rep out to look at it. I did that after the guy was using a manafrying glass to try and find a point of impact along the crack. It pissed me off, but that was a dealer thing and all dealers will try and say road hazard when it comes to glass breakage so will have to claim in on your insurance instead of them fixing it under warranty. I had a shifting problem, it did not alway shift into 4th gear. that was at about 70K miles. I forget how much that cost me. I was a little upset that it wasn't covered under the 100K warranty. That is what the dealer said anyway. But it wasn't a lot to replace it. I think 200.00 or so. I also had a new filter put in the transmission and new fluid put in it. that was another 200.00 or so, but I consider that routine maintenance. When it had about 90K miles on it I had the timing belt replaced. That was rip off as it is on all cars. That cost me 450.00 or so. But I had a timing belt break on a car once and it put a vale through a piston, so I don't take chances with them VaGator
