#132 of 169 Re: found one... which state would I pay sales tax in... [rickyt2] by lok888 Dec 19, 2005 (1:53 pm)
Replying to: rickyt2 (Dec 19, 2005 11:16 am) 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?

Replying to: flipper24 (Jul 22, 2005 8:25 pm) 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.
#135 of 169 2006 Kia Sorento EX auto by leftcoast2 Feb 25, 2006 (11:26 pm)
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! Replies to this message: nvestg8r (Apr 03, 2006 7:34 pm)

Replying to: rickyt2 (Dec 12, 2005 4:28 pm) 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.

#139 of 169 Sorrento LX Rental by sandman46 Apr 10, 2006 (6:06 pm)
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?   The Sandman Replies to this message: lok888 (Apr 11, 2006 9:38 am)

Turned the Sorrento in earlier this evening to Enterprise. Totally unimpressed with the car. With only 7230 on the odo, the car shuddered from a stop when I started to accelerate. Very disconcerting. It sure moved once it got going and the brakes worked o k, don't know if it had ABS. The plastics were not up to Japanese standards and it wouldn't fit in the garage. The mileage was worse than I expected also. I did love the high seating position though...a nice commanding view of the road ahead. I wonder if the Sportage would be a better fit for me when the time comes. Still unsure about the long term reliability & quality of the interior parts though. Think I'd rather pony up a little more for the Rav4 or the CRV and get the Toyota/Honda quality. I know one pays a premium for them, but they do set the benchmark in the small ute class...hands down! Just my $.02 here after having driven the Sorrento about 100 miles.   The Sandman
