We purchased a 2004 EX in March with just leather & abs, no moonroof so they do exist. Good luck in your search for a used one.
#75 of 466 Positive purchase experience by brewer Jul 20, 2004 (1:55 pm)
We bought a 04 LX in Feb this year. We did a lot of research on the web before we even went to a dealer. Started off with the Caravan (we also have a 93 Voyager with 163,000 miles) and they wouldn't quote us anything below $26,000!!! Started looking at the Kia Sedona's and liked what we read. Went in to test drive one and came out with a new 04 for $16,900 - total cost- no trade. Have 8,000 on it now - and no problems at all - we love it. I enjoy the way it handles. Gas mileage is lower than we wanted but still not bad, 20 city and our last trip was 23 hwy. Buying the Kia was so easy - one price for the LX and one price for the EX. We opted for the basic LX with no add-ons. Replies to this message: xvrm (Jul 20, 2004 6:57 pm)

Replying to: brewer (Jul 20, 2004 1:55 pm) I, too, opted for 04 LX with no add-ons. Mine is Sage Green, was purchased May 16th, has 2500 miles on it now. I, too, got a price of $16900 -- total cost -- no trade. I am just SOOO happy with my Sedona. It has a great ride, is quiet, peppy engine and 5speed automatic. I think it's a luxury vehicle -- and the price? A steal!
#77 of 466 Amazing Sedona offer! by craigmri Aug 01, 2004 (6:59 pm)
Replying to: viper168 (Jul 31, 2003 2:19 pm) Local dealer is offering new 2004 Sedona EX for $16,000 plus tax and tag(this price includes all rebates and customer loyalty offer). This is for an EX with no leather, Sunroof or ABS.   Has me considering trading in my '02 EX on a new '04. Ya'll think I'm crazy??   Craig Replies to this message: craigmri (Aug 02, 2004 3:06 pm)
#78 of 466 Traded in Sedona on another Sedona!!! by craigmri Aug 02, 2004 (3:06 pm)
Replying to: craigmri (Aug 01, 2004 6:59 pm) Traded in our '02 EX with Sunroof and ABS. We had 21,000 miles on it and they gave us $12,000 trade. We paid $12,900 for it 6 months ago(we bought it second hand from a Ford dealer) so I was happy with that trade.   We bought a new '04 EX with Leather, Sunroof, ABS, rear spoiler and Tow Hitch. Sticker was $25,755 Before rebates we got to $23,651. Then we get $2500 factory rebate then another $1000 owner loyalty and we're at $20,151 plus tax(we paid tax on the difference of the trade and the new van so we saved a little there.   Overall I'm pleased with the deal. We originally purchased the used '02 Kia to see if we would like one before buying new since we realize the new one will depreciate significantly. Since I knew I got a good deal on our used '02 I knew if I wanted to trade it in I would do OK. basically the Kia passed the test so we wanted a decked out new one.   The wife wanted the Sage Green/Beige combo so thats what we got with the Beige leather interior. basically the only option we didn't get was the DVD entertainment system. I didn't want that anyhow because while in the Smoky mountains(we're there alot) I wanted the kids to look out the window and enjoy the scenery and not the DVD movies   A couple of things already seem to be not right on the ride home. there is a subtle vibration in the 55-65 mph speed. I suspect a wheel balance issue. The other issue is the air conditioning didn't work coincidently when we left the dealer but began to work just fine after 5 minutes. We'll keep an eye on that.   Been a long term Hyundai owner since '88 having owned several Hyundais and now the Hyundai/Kia relationship is still drawing me to their great vehicle values.   Craig '04 Sedona EX
#79 of 466 How is this price? by monty2222 Aug 13, 2004 (6:46 am)
Went to Kia.com and submitted my exact specs to four dealers for quotes. Two dealers responded. One wanted me to call for more info, but the other had exactly what I wanted on the lot and gave the following price breakdown. MSRP $26,585, Dealer cost $24,540, selling price after rebates $21,040. This is for Sedona EX, White/Platinum, leather, DVD system, 4-wheel antilock brakes, spoiler, tow hitch. I understand from the website the rebates are $2,500 or 0%, plus $1,000 owner loyalty or competative rebate. I will also be trading my 96 Grand Caravan, and am assuming the price they gave does not include this yet(wholesale about $3,000). Any comments welcome (soon). Going to the dealer SATURDAY.

Replying to: monty2222 (Aug 13, 2004 6:46 am) Monty,   That price sounds about right considering your getting the DVD system. As for the Trade in......Your probably better off selling it on your own if you have the time and patience.   Your gonna love the Sedona.   Craig '04 EX Sedona
#81 of 466 Option question by monty2222 Aug 17, 2004 (5:26 pm)
When you hit the Finance office to sign the papers they always offer a sheet of different additions for the vehicle (alarm, payment insurance, fabric protection, etc.). One of the options was chip protection, which I understood to be something applied to the front on the hood and side mirrors to prevent rock chips and scratches. Anyone select this option? Is it an adhesive film they stick on? How does it hold up? Replies to this message: bluedevils (Aug 18, 2004 10:13 am) monty2222 (Aug 19, 2004 7:51 pm)

Replying to: monty2222 (Aug 17, 2004 5:26 pm) Never heard of that one. I would not buy it unless they show you good materials on what it is, what it does, how long it lasts, guarantee, etc. And only if the price seemed reasonable.   When we bought our 2002 EX in February 2002, the 'finance guy' did not try to sell us a bunch of extras. It was quite pleasant, actually. Replies to this message: monty2222 (Aug 19, 2004 7:51 pm)

Replying to: bluedevils (Aug 18, 2004 10:13 am) I found some info on the products. Here is one: http://www.clearmask.com/ I need to see this stuff on a vehicle before I would try it. the 3M website gives a list of professional installers, and there are some near me. Maybe I will stop by.
