Try to keep the trade-in vehicle out of the equation. It also is useful to keep license, tags, registration, tax out of the equation since those vary by state. Need to keep them out of the discussion to have an apples-to-apples comparison with other buyers around the country.
 
$20,000 seemed like a good target for a 2006 EX with Power Package (MSRP $27,265 if I recall)...in January. Someone reported maybe the unpublished $1,000 factory-to-dealer incentive is NOT in play for February, so they may not have as much room to get close to the $20k.
 
Excluding license/tags, you were quoted a price of about $22k. That sounds too high.

How much should I be paying? by sjon64

Hi. I'm going to probably buy a 2006 EX with the DVD Entertainment System and a Sunroof added. The total cost with financing over a 60 month period, taxes (8.5% in NY,) included in the payments is $30K. Do you think this is a good deal? Or does my dealer have room for improvement? Thank you.

Correction. I did some recalculating and I would be paying $23.5K for the Sedona. Any advice out there if this is a good price or if I can do better? I would appreciate it.

The EX stickers at $26,265. With little negotiation you should have no trouble getting down to $20,000. That would mean you would be paying $3,500 for a DVD player and sunroof. My suggestion is to go to Circuit City where they advertised a roof mounted DVD player installed for $499. I am not positive on a sunroof but I would think you could get one for around $1,500 installed even from the dealer. My target price for what you want would be around $22,000-$22,500.

Break down the numbers to make analysis of your offer easier.
 
What is the price of the vehicle, WITHOUT tax?
 
As brian1 said, you should be able to get a 2006 Sedona EX for around $20,000. You should be able to get DVD and moonroof installed for $2,000 or so.
 
If your $23,500 price includes tax and the interest on your 8.25% vehicle loan, that sounds very good. Actually, that would almost sound too good to be true.

I did some calculations on the financing end of the Cars.Com website. If my calculations are correct, the price I would be financing would be $23.5 because that amount plus 8.5% sales tax at 7% for 60 months comes to $504/month. My deal is at $500 so pretty close. Thank you all for responding by the way. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for clarifying.
 
Financing $23,500 for what you are getting sounds too high, as brian1 mentioned in his post.

1st of all - I eventually purchased a 2006 Sedona LX from Delray Kia. Although the sales process wasn't perfect, it was significantly better than my treatment at West Palm Kia.
 
To close out the story - I finally contacted the GM at West Palm Kia. Most customer unfriendly General Manager I have ever met. The dealership is running ads saying that if you can't reach a deal, come see him. GOOD LUCK.
 
In his last email, when I threatened to take my complaint to the Better Business Bureau - he called me a bigot (couldn't be further from the truth, but I have it in writing). So before you go see Mr. Chris Rodrigues (he gives his name on the radio) think again and do your homework on this dealership. They don't deserve anyone's business.

I went to a kia dealership in jersey yesterday 2/8. They offered me a 2006 LX with DVD package plus they were willing to change out the interior (after factory) to leather. (the mrs. wants leather interior) They said they would give it to me for 19,995.
We are still looking around in our area but there don't seem to be too many 2006 sedonas left.
 
We are trying to decide if we should move on this or keep looking.
