Replying to: jmorgart (May 16, 2006 1:36 pm) I think the number is $5000 cash back for any 2005 models and $500 for current Kia owner plus dealer's discount. Replies to this message: tonnes (Jun 06, 2006 10:05 pm)

Replying to: lok888 (May 17, 2006 10:29 am) The '06 Sorento can be had pretty cheap right now, especially if you don't get one without options. Here's a dealer advertising one for under $15K: http://tinyurl.com/khark   I'm curious about the '07 however. New engine, interior/exterior styling changes, more safety, etc. However, I see it won't be available with a manual transmission - bummer. My guess is that we won't find prices near as good for the '07's.

Like to know what a 2006 Sorento EX Loaded is selling for at this time. Since gas at $3.00 per gal, and the Sorento POOR gas milage. What 17 to 21. I would consider buying at around $18,000. What does everyone else think?? Also, the 2007 when are they out? I heard they get better milage, and have a more powerful engine. Has anyone hear this??

Replying to: lok888 (Apr 18, 2006 10:10 am) I was thumbing through this sight and stumbled upon these entries. I have a 1999 plymouth voyager 142k on it that I'm trading in next year. I am interested in the kia sorrento, can you share your experience with your car? Is it giving you good bang for your buck? I'm so disgusted with chrysler and their poorly made cars. I'm looking to switch to the SUV and I'm pretty excited about this model. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Sep 26, 2006 6:09 pm)

#153 of 169 Got a good deal on the, dealership experience left a lot to be desired! by sharkman1972 Oct 19, 2006 (5:04 pm)
I got our 05 Sorento last Oct for about 20k fully loaded with all the bells and whistles at that time. Then I got about 3K knocked off for all the dealer incentives so I paid 17k plus trade-in so My Kia cost me out the door about 9K But man getting there was a nightmare, they tried to pull the "bait and switch" technique on me and a few other fast moves to give us less extras but pay the same price.....I won't even go into how little they wanted to give me for my trade-in. Bottom-line is that I paid attention to all the little fancy foot work the car sales man did and the Finance guy tried to do. The finance guy at one point yelled at my wife and I calling us idiots for calling his bluff. Well push came to shove and the stores general manger was there and he had to smooth things over with 2 very pissed customers and realized that the money making tactics would not work in this situation, so he offered us every deal, incentive, full trade-in value on my car and made sure we had a fully loaded car the color we wanted to ensure he kept us as a customer. I never had such a bad experience with a car dealership before, it really made my doubt the quality of a KIA vehicle. So the day we take delivery of our brand new 05 Kia Sorento that is supposed to be “Fully Loaded”…….it was missing all kinds of things, such as the rear spoiler, floor mats, step bar, mud flaps, cargo net, and a few more things. I am not sure if they really did not know that all these things were missing or maybe we would not notice until it was too late, but regardless I noticed right away and the car salesman (same guy who sold us the car) tried to tell me that the Sorento we agreed to purchase for the money we paid was the one right in front of us and it does not included all those extras. I then pulled all my paperwork and looked and saw that everything I mentioned above was typed into the contract and once again the dealership tried to pull a fast one on us. At this point I just wanted my old car back and told the general manager that I was going to make a formal complaint against his employees to the state and City for dealership fraud. At that point he was begging to make this all right, I just wanted what we agreed upon and wanted it all done right away. He tried to get me to agree that I would not make a formal complaint against his dealership, I refused but they did rectify everything in the end and it only took 1 extra day and a big headache. Oh yeah they never removed the plastic that covers all the floors in the SUV, to this day I still have some plastic covering the floorboard.. I will never go to the KIA of Glendale, CA. Dealership again and would recommend that everyone to go elsewhere. I would recommend a Kia to people the Sorento has been great, every time I have driven it it has been a fun SUV, it is mainly my wife’s car and she loves it, as long as she is happy with the SUV then so am I.

Replying to: jmorgart (Aug 24, 2006 10:14 am) I just bought a new 2006 kia sorento in January of 2007. I have had some problems already, that the dealship caused. They had to repair some scratches on the roof of the car that they did, they burned up the rear defrost by placing the temporary tag over the led for the rear defrost, they changed my oil and did not replace all the bolts in the engine protection cover, and I have been complaining to them about poor gas mileage. I have been getting 12-14 mpg since Feburary, they kept telling me that it is common. I took it in last week and to date of April 16th, 2007, I have 5100 miles on it. They just found that the number 4 cylinder head is misfiring and had to replace the spark plugs with Platnium GCK plugs??. So far no improvement. I think I will be calling KIA Customer service about this one. The vehicle drives great, however I have been at the dealership over stupid stuff since the 2nd week of ownership. I do not belive if this keeps up I will ever buy another foreign car. Gas mileage is horrible. Consider a honda crv if you need an suv.
