2006 Sedona EX with Options by activecow
Jan 22, 2007 (10:23 pm)

I just got an internet offer from Car Pros Kia in Pomona, CA on a 2006 Sedona EX with the power package and premium entertainment package for an out the door price of $24,000. This includes the $4000 rebate and additional incentives (which I'm not sure what's included).
 
I've also been offered $24,600 out the door on a 2006 Sedona EX with the Power and Luxury Package.
 
These prices almost matches what typer_801 has outlined for the EX model.
 
If these are good prices I'm leaning toward the $24,000 from Car Pros just because I want the DVD system. However, is it worth getting the $24,600 luxury package and then adding a DVD add-on (Costco has a DVD add-on for $700 with 10.2" screen which includes installation)?
 
Thanks.

Could you tell me what you ended up paying. I am also in the Cincy market and went to Kings and Fairfield and so far the best they will do is $7k off of sticker. Were you able to do any better?
 
thanks

I ended up getting my Sedona for the $19,090 price before TTL. That was on an EX with an MSRP of $26,495. Total discount $7405 (as shown above).
 
Email me privately for more info (typer_801 at yahoo dot com)

Just wanted to thank everyone here for all the info. I'm going to do battle with a dealer in the PHX area sometime during the next few days and this info combined with all the stuff at www.carbuyingtips.com makes me feel much better prepared.
 
If anyone cares to share why they preferred the EX over the LX, I'd appreciate it. Unless you want the upgrade packages, is there really a reason to go there?
 
Thx again,
SJ

To me the biggest items the EX adds over the LX is foglights and 17" wheels. Some of the dealers I have been talking to the deals are not as good on the EX over the LX as the EX's are starting to get scarce and especially ones with the power package.

typer_801, did you buy during January?
 
I don't know if it would be worth waiting til February. At some point, the incentives are reduced once inventories are cleared out enough -- at least that is what I have seen in the past on other models.
 
It's too bad Kia isn't running its customer loyalty cash right now.

Potential deal - looking for feedback by bluedevils

Local dealer has 1 2006 Sedona EX left, base model plus the Power Package (power sliding doors and power liftgate). MSRP $27,265.
 
We mentioned trading in our 2002 Sedona EX and they 'offered' $5500 after looking it over -- AND after my wife told them what we owe on it! Oops. I think we might be able to get $7,000 for the van if we sold it ourselves, but that's about it.
 
Salesman offered $22,265 on the new 2006 EX -- exactly $5,000 off MSRP.
 
We told him that wasn't compelling enough to pull the trigger. He asked what was, we told him $20,000 on the new EX which is $7,265 off MSRP. He left his desk and came back in 5-10 minutes and said they could do that.
 
We are mulling it over this weekend before deciding to proceed. Not sure if we feel like taking on the cost of a new van.
 
Any thoughts on this deal?
 
We have not yet priced insurance for the 2006 EX and I am worried it will be pretty high. Although the 2002 Sedona is a safe vehicle, the insurance rate has been pretty high compare to other vehicles we have received quotes for.

Here are the items I've observed as additional equipment included on the EX over the LX.
 
EX Additional Equipment:
-Solar (Heat Rejecting) Glass
-Alloy Wheels/Michelin Tires
-Power Seats (Driver & Passenger)
-Woodgrain Dash (plan black in LX is preferable IMO)
-Auto-on Headlights
-Fog Lights
-MP3 Capability/Cassette Player
-Overhead Trip Computer
-Chrome Trim on Tailgate
-Power Rear Vent Windows
-HomeLink
-AutoDimming Rear View Mirror
-Heated Mirrors
-Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel/Shift Knob
 
That's all I can remember, but there probably isn't much that's substantial beyond this. Definitely worth the extra money, but none of them are "must haves".

another big difference is 17" wheels/tires on EX compared to 16" on the LX. This is a substantial difference as it will actually improve the ride and handling of the vehicle.

This is a difference, but I don't think it will improve both ride and handling. The 17" tires are lower profile, and hence should give better handling; but with less sidewall flex, will transmit more road imperfections and hence diminish ride. It's a personal choice whether the improvement in the handling outweighs the reduction in the ride.
