I am looking to buy a 2005 Kia Sorento EX, with 4wheel drive, and ABS, with Luxury package, side bars, and tow hitch.
MSRP after options & dest. charge is $30,045.
Invoice (after options) I believe is $$27,793.
 
I know there is a cashback of 2500 on the 4wd OR 2.9% (APR)for 60 months. (although I read somewhere this may be 1.9% now... not sure...
 
what can I realistically expext to pay? (excluding cash back & special aprs) THANKS!!!

I wanted to follow up on my last post.
I have found a 2005 4wd Kia Sorento EX.
has ABS, Luxury package, load leveling, rear spoiler, first aid kit... the price I have been offered (after $2500 man. rebate and $170 doc fee) is $25,900. does this sound like good deal? also I live in AR and I am buying in OK... how does sales tax work in that case? which state would I pay in?

I think the price is good. I paid $26000 (out the door price) for my full loaded 2003 Sorento (same equipments like yours) three years ago. I didn't want self-levelizer but dealer had only one fully loaded in the lot. The price was just dealer discount, no rebate and incentive back then.
 
You pay the AR sales tax once you register it in your state where you live now. The DMV will figure out the market value to determine the sales tax you need to pay. So is this cheaper if you buy in OK than AR after tax?

I just closed a deal (in CT) on a Black 2005 EX, Luxury Pkg, ABS, Cargo Tray, First aid kit, Spoiler, Tow Hitch (I had them add in, TTL--> out the door at $23,550.
 
They tried to nail me on financing thru their bank. I walked out, they called me back; told me they'd sell it at that price if I got my own financing which I did. After reading a ton on the internet these past few days, the lesson learned is NEVER finance thru the dealer. They're moaning that they're losing money on the deal, but I believe Kia is giving the dealers large incentives to get rid of 2005 stock.

I just paid $21,386 for a 05 green and beige Sorento EX 4x4 auto, with ABS, sunroof, cd and cassette, and cruise control. There are a number of these at Kia Dealers in New York. I traded in an 02 Sportage. I have to say the ride is so much smoother than I expected. Acceleration is great as are the brakes.

Today was the first time I went to look at this vehicle. I'm in S.CAL. I really respect all of your posts as this is also my first time at this site. I'm glad I found it. The numbers are I got are up around $28K+ T T L. Of course I want all the features 4X4,luxury package,towing. My question is, should I wait longer into the year to see the $22/24000 figures? I also have a 2003 volvo S60T. Should I sell that on my own or trade it in. I owe about $7500 on it. I appreciate any input as I'm not savvy on buying new autos. Only did it once before. Thanks a bunch and happy motoring!

I worked out a deal yesterday for a TOP-o-the line EX Sorento with 4K miles on it.(dealer car) Sticker was 30,493, and we got down to $23.8 with rebates et al. But i still didn't buy it...I think you can get a fully pimped out EX for under 23K....just my opinion.

Summer is the best time to by foregin as new models start as well as rebates are offered. Yes, sell your own. I have used cars.com and had excellent results on two vehicles.

Sorrento LX Rental by sandman46

I got a Sorrento LX from Enterprise this evening and it's a real blast to drive. It's a bit to big and tall for me with my bad back and all, but I now know that a small sport ute might just be the ticket for me. I'll still enjoy the ride for the 3 or 4 days that I'll have it though. Doesn't Kia make a smaller sport ute now?
