Replying to: bluedevils (Feb 05, 2007 11:42 am) 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.

Replying to: perezi (Feb 08, 2007 6:14 am) $20,000 for an LX with the factory DVD Entertainment package and aftermarket leather seems like a fairly decent deal to me. In January, a base LX was going for around $17,000 or maybe $16,500 if you bargained hard. I think the DVD package invoices for around $1,000, and another $1,000-1,500 for leather puts you in the mid $19s based on January numbers. People haven't said much lately about February deals, but someone mentioned the dealers don't have as much unpublished incentives from Kia and so the pricing isn't as good in Feb as it was in Jan. Good luck and let us know how you do. |

Replying to: rachluvjun (Feb 08, 2007 10:20 am) That said... I am surprised you thought the dealer was obligated to provide a loaner car. There is no such law, and most vehicle brands do NOT offer loaner service. Some dealers are nicer than others and will give loaners in certain situations (e.g. if you complain a lot, if your car is in the shop for several days, if you have a collision repair)...but this is a dealer-by-dealer basis. Point being, you should NOT be hating on Kia about this. You didn't do your homework in this area before buying the van.

Beavis, I am really sorry to hear about your experience with your sedona. I purchased a new 2004 in May of 04. It has 80,000 miles on it. I have never had a problem. I still have the original brakes on the van, I just purchased a new 2006 EX with the power package and luxury package in velvet blue from Jack Miller Kia in North Kansas City. The MSRP was 29,895. I paid 21895 plus a 199 processing fee that included the 30 day plates. I only have 500 miles on it. So far, it seems great. The gas mileage is better than I expected, I averaged 21.69 in cold weather bucking a wind on that first tank. We really appreciated the heated seats. I did the entire transaction online. I drove down to KC from southern MN to pick-up the van, We spent no more than 20 minutes in the dealers place of business, John |

What are Kia dealers aroung the US adding on to cars to boost profits and essentially lie about the showroom price? Here in Louisville, there are four Kia Stores, all owned by the same auto group, Montgomery Motors. EVERY Kia sold by them WILL have added a $79 "stripe" package, AND, a sort of "RFID" device that mounts under the dash requiring you to swipe a plastic RFID card to get the engine to start. No alarm, no tracking system. It's a SWITCH. It is labeled as a "security" package, and of course, it is. It's even added to '06 and '07 Kias WITH the factory alarm system. But this ain't no "Lojack". Lojack actually WORKS, and it's a full grand cheaper. Even the after-market "Theftstopper" system only runs about $350 installed. I've seen similar systems to these at flea markets and on-line for less than $50. The ONLY thing it does is disable/enable the starter circuit. There's no GPS or tracking service. The price? $1695!!! Bear in mind you CANNOT purchase a car from this group without this ad-on. They will not put a Kia on the lot or in the showroom without it. So, the newspaper/TV/radio price they advertise on a 2006 Sedona LX is $16,990, but there is no car and never will one be at that price. The total is $16,990 plus the stripe plus the $1695 RFID. This is three years now they have done this I know for sure, since it's on the 07 cars, too, from Rio to the top. Tax, license, papers fees on top of that. Any other dealers around the country do anything like that? I can buy a Kia in other nearby cities within a hundred miles or so without this shakedown, but of course their bottom line price is somewhat higher than what these stores advertise to give them more profit in the package. But at least that's HONEST and still doesn't come up to the local Kia store total purchase scam! (Add-on isn't even considered in any trade-in price since it's a junk gimmick one could buy for $50 on the internet.) Sometimes the total purchase experience prohibits buying some cars in some geographic areas. (One of these store's service departments also includes $80 for an "oil system flush" in each 12K warranty service and will only take it out if you make them - otherwise they don't tell anyone it isn't needed for Kia warranty and isn't needed at ALL in modern engines.)
