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

We just purchased a 2006 EX. I had been requesting quotes for several weeks, both on the '06 Sedona as well as the '07 Hyundai Entourage. Of 15 dealers contacted, only five responded with firm quotes. Lowest was Schaumburg Kia. 2006 Sedona EX, Power + Luxury, $27,722 before incentives, $700 below dealer-invoice (marketing costs are almost a grand around here). They also did a dealer-trade with a dealership 200 miles away to get the color-combo we wanted. We leased for 36mos/45K miles. Deal was structured very simply -- $27,722 + 7% sales tax - $2,400 Cap Cost Reduction from Kia. Money factor was almost 0 (0.0001 or some-such). Residual was 39% (36K mile lease would have been 40%), and drive-off cost was ~$2,000 (includes $1,000 cap cost reduction). Monthly lease payments are $425. Purchase experience was overall good. We got the usual scratch/dent/ding/interior protection shpiel, and the whole process took a bit longer (about three hours) than I think it should have, considering we had all the numbers worked out before we walked in there. Recommended. If the van holds up to the good impression we got from it, we'll be happy van owners for the next thre years. |

Just started the shopping process for the 2006 Sedona EX. Went to a new dealer on the North Shore of Long Island (Habberstad)... They quoted me "bottom line" pricing as follows: EX with POWER package: $27,265. Based on the current (August) incentives, I would qualify for $2000 cash back and 4.9% financing. The sales rep insisted that there were absolutely no "add-on" fees and that he couldn't drop the price below his "bottom line"... I haven't checked out Atlantic Kia or AutoWorld Kia yet... Does anyone have any advice for me? ... as I would love to work the deal to get Power and Luxury for under $25K.... Is that still possible? |

New to boards...I am ready to purchase the 2006 Sedona EX Luxery model. I test drove it and was impressed. My question is, does anyone know if Kia is coming out with their 2007 models. If so, I might be able to wait until the dealer in town does their "left over inventory" sales. That is how I picked up my Sephia 9 years ago. I saved $5k by waiting a month. My dealer currently has the model I want for $33k. I can do without the DVD player, but the price is still over $30k. Maybe I should search for a better dealer? You all seemed to have paid much less.

| I had posted "fuel salling problems" that I had with my mini van in earlier messages. Long story short, had the vehicle for 12 months, 14,000 miles, left me stranded twice, once out of town and it was in the shop for a total of one month in the year that I owned it. What good is the so called "best warranty" if they can't fix the problem the vehicles develop. I looked into suing Kia under the lemon law, but it was gonna be risky because (according to my lawyer) Kia would send a master mechanic to inspect the vehicle and if he did not find anything wrong, then I would not have a case, and since the vehicle did not stall all the time it was not a risk I was willing to take. I traded the vehicle for a new GMC Envoy XL and I could not be happier. Like they say "You get what you paid for" I was fooled by their warranty, but hey! you live, you learn. | |

Visited Kia dealer on south shore of Long Island... Shopping for an EX with Power and Luxury... 28,500.00 base + 112.50 fees +2,458.13 sales tax (8.625% in my area) -2,000.00 rebates ($1000 competitive, $1000 bonus cash) ========= 29,070.63 to be financed at 4.9% with no money down. Please share your thoughts on this? Does anybody have any ideas on what the September incentives will be for the Sedona?
