Hi was wondering if your figure included dealer prep fee.
Here in Fl. it is 699
Also this dealer has clear coat protection at an extra 999
Your deal looks pretty good to me even if you have to pay extra for dealer prep.Joe

I went to or e-mail most dealers in the Phoenix area before I purchase my Sorento.
 
What I purchase was model 72422
 
               2005 Sorento LX 4X4
               Auto Trans
               Antilock Brakes
               Carpeted Floor Mats
               Cargo Tray
               First Aid Kit
               Tinted windows
 
    MSRP was $25135 price from Kia dealer in Avondale after rebate $19250 plus tax and licen and doc fees.
 
I was very happy with the Avondale KIA dealer
 
For my loan I used e-loan, before going to the dealer, It was fast and easy.

I closed a deal over the phone today for pickup MON July 25th. I have three local Kia Dealerships in my area. I worked with one until I felt I had them as low as they "say" they would go ($24,000). I then called the next dealer and they beat them by $1000. I planned on around 22,500, so I am a bit higher but I the third dealer said he could not beat $23,000.
 
Here are the specs:
Brand new, Silver, '05 EX, Luxury Pkg., ABS, Cargo Tray, First Aid Kit, Mudflaps, and they have to tint the front windows to match the back.
Price = $23,000 CASH does NOT include TTL.
I may try to get them to add the spoiler just before I sign the papers, just as an added kicker. p.s. This is in Nebraska. Is this a good deal???

Joe - There was no dealer prep fee on the Sorento but there was a problem. I decided to lease the vehicle and found that the residual value (48 month lease) used to compute the monthly payment was an abysmal 36%. I had also been looking at a Jeep Grand Cherokee and the residual for a similar term was 47% which brought the payment on the Jeep down significantly. My choice became simple. While I liked the Kia and all that you got for your money, it did not make economic sense. Car for car, I have to say the Jeep feels more secure and solid and clearly the auto community believes it will retain its value more than a Kia Sorento will. I ended up leasing the Jeep Grand Cherokee and am very happy with it.

I just purchased a few days ago from Avondale Kia in the Phoenix area after emailing and calling few dealers.
 
Radiant Red/Grey 2005 Sorento EX 4X2
 
Luxury Package
Auto Trans
ABS
Carpeted Floor Mats
Cargo Tray
Rear Spoiler
Tinted windows
Tow hitch
Side Step
Security System
 
With the $2000 rebate and dealer savings I was quoted 21,000 (msrp 27,925) not including TTL and so I went with it. The buying experience was good it was the financing part that they tried to make some more on. They added their detailing service and only presented 4 financing options. I told them I wanted the fifth that didn't include their insurance, service, etc. Overall a good buying experience.
