Well we are still debating which Sorento to buy. I have a dealer who is quoting me 23,023 plus TTL on a 2005 EX 4x4 and I am thinking that the extra warranty and fewer miles are probably worth the 2500 over the 2004 model. I am a servicemember in Iraq trying to guide my wife through the buying process back in the states, I will be out of the loop on a mission in a little bit so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Bought an 05 EX on May 28th, 2005 with the following options: Leather, ABS, cargo tray, and rear spoiler. MSRP was $26,440 and I paid $21,440 for it. Deal was real easy as the dealership had a special of $5K off MSRP on any Sorento with no catches; no dealer add-ons or the like. Deal was about $750 less than the best deal I could find anywhere else in the DFW area. Dealership was Van Grifith Kia in Granbury, TX. They were GREAT to say the least. I actually made the deal over the phone and then simply showed up with my blank CapitalOne check and filled it out. They had all the paperwork ready so I was in and out in about 30 minutes. BTW, be wary of putting any trust in Edmunds True Market Value. The TMV for my Sorento as equipped is $23,967 including all rebates. As you can see I got my Sorento for over $2,500 LESS than the TMV.

Can anyone tell me what they paid in the DC area for a 2005 Sorento practically fully loaded? I am going to do the email thing and see what happens. I got one quote from a dealer before reading this message board that says: "The list price of this Sorento is $24,440. I CAN OFFER IT TO YOU NOW FOR $19,999 plus ttd.. I hope this is what you are looking for." and "DIFFERENT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE, LIST PRIC EIS $24,440, EX 4WD WITH SUNROOF, POWER SEATS, SIDE AIRS Bags, CD PLAYER, POWER EVERYTHING, KEYLESS ENTRY, ALLOY RIMS AND 100K MILE WARRANTY." I may take this $20,000 quote if I don't get anything better. |

A dealer (Tyson's Corner, VA) is offering me a fully loaded demo with auto start, cargo net, tow hitch, side bars (everything) - 2005 EX 4wd Sorento that has 4,300 miles on it. He says the MSRP is $30,845 and offering it to me at $24,900. Do you think I can get a better deal out of him. I am paying cash (well with a check).

Replying to: bek1 (Jun 21, 2005 11:55 am) Look at the internet quote I got! .. ugh MSRP 29,310.00 Discount/Incentives 4,503.00 Sales Price 24,807.00 DC 7%/procesing fee/tags 2,106.95 Frieght 670.00 Total out the Door 27,583.95 I will sell you the Sorento EX 4x4, with the Luxury Package, Sunroof, Keyless Entry, Step Bars, Fog Lights, Leather , Spoiler, Side Air Bags, C/D player and Cassette, and the 10year 100k warranty. The MSRP is 29,310 and the price for you is, out the door including freight and 7% DC tax for 27,583.95. I’m only willing to pay $22,500 at the most .. he must be crazy or maybe I am! But hey it's my money and I want to get what I want if I'm paying cash!

Replying to: gdub2 (Jun 23, 2005 11:03 am) Well I checked the blue book retail price and that was $23,370 so if he added discounts to it I should not be paying more than $20,000. I guess I have to negotiate when I get there .. ugh. I also saw a used one that was almost fully loaded with 500 more miles (4,816) than this one with a list price of $22,995 in Baltimore, MD - so I know the price they are quoting me is to high. Guess I had to do my own research!

Am shopping for 2005 EX with ABS, leather pkg and cargo tray. I was faxed by the Bloomington dealer their Sorento pricing sheet showing invoice and msrp. They are willing to do invoice on all items as well as base. From that they deduct $2000 factory rebate and an additional $1,000 competive bonus because I currently own a Jeep. Seems simple to me. Offer is as follows: Base on EX 4x2 = $22335 (MSRP = $24,100) ABS = $531 (MSRP = $595) Cargo Tray= $57 (MSRP = $75) Leather Pkg = $804 (MSRP = $900) Total = $23,727 (MSRP = $25,670) T, T & L 1,842 (Tax  6.5%) ($1,968) Minus: 3,500 (3,500) Net cost: $22,069 (Invoice) vs ($24,138) Seems fair and simple. Would be curious if anyone is getting deals under invoice. Seems like a great car for the money. My main conern is how many problems are showing up for this car and that they are major in nature in many cases. Any feedback would be appriciated. Thanks.
