Buying Online by mac9902

I placed an order through Cars Direct for a EX 4WD with luxury package and ABS. The good thing about Cars Direct is that they lock in a price. They then search for the car in your area from dealers they work with, so it isn't like you buy the car sight unseen. You actually have to go to the dealership to get the car.
 
I ended up negotiating a better price myself using information from Cars Direct, Edmunds, and several other car buying websites. One web site in particular has some fantastic information, but I don't want to advertise the web page. If anyone is interested they can email me.

Steve, my email address should be public now - you don't show an email address either.

I also bought mine via internet. I actually send email to several local dealers. I told them what I want and waited for the responds. Then I compared the numbers with the pricing info (invoice & MSRP) from Edmunds. I had a deal when we both agreed the price and fees. I have been using this method when shopping for my '03 Camry and '04 Sienna. I paid no service fee to nobody.
 
sonnyrocker - I agree with you. But there is nothing to lose with this approach. You don't order or sign for anything unless you see it. This actually saved me a lot of time if travel to different dealers and negoiate. And it is interesting to see how much you can beat the dealer. Of course, they are always the winners.

2003 LX 4WD by rukrayz2

I live in Augusta, GA and found a 2003 Gold Sorento LX 4X4 in Jersey City, New Jersey with floor mats, luggage rack, stripes, automatic, alloy wheels, and 3200 miles on it .... for 16,900 !!!!!! Needless to say I used my VISA to hold the car and flew up 2 days later to close the deal, and drove it back home. I found it on the internet at Hudson Toyota in Jersey City, NJ. I'm the second owner I love everything about the car except gas mileage. I've had dome folks who own Acura's and Lexus's SUV's do a double-take. I think KIA should sell an EX without the plastic cladding. They look classier... well at least my gold does. Great Car !!!

2004 LX 4WD Sport by gchua

5 speed, Sport package, plus mats, cargo tray and tow hitch for 19,600. List was $23k plus. With the owner loyalty rebate, you can take another $1k off.
 
Off topic - outrageous deal is on the Optima. They have it for something like $10k (about $7k off)!
 
This is at Quirk Kia in MA. They are the largest dealer in the country so get "extra" incentives.

We bought today!! by valval

We bought the ice blue/gray, ABS, lux. package, first aid kit, spoiler, cargo mat and side step bars for $24,330, sticker was $26,775. We gave up the additional $1000. rebate to get 60 months 0% financing. Gap insurance for the life of the loan was an additional $495. I'm confused on the gap insurance though as it only covers amount financed, not the $5000. down payment, so I'll have to call them about that tomorrow.
We bought at Gettel Kia in Sarasota, Florida. The salesman, sales manager and business manager could not have been any better - it was worth the 1.5 hour drive!

I bought my 2004 EX 4x2 last weekend for $3500.00 under invoice. I was at a delaership that wanted to offer me much more for an LX than what I bought my EX for!!! Avondale Kia is the place to go, I used their internet / fleet department, called him up, told him what I had been quoted before, he laughed and said, " how is $3500.00 below invoive?" Needless to say I told the other dealer where they could go....and drove the extra 45 minutes to Avondale. The Internet manager told me that they have people fly in from all over the place to buy these cars.....check them out you won't be sorry!!!!

Finance Probs and Bargaining by tcshel

I live in a smallish sized town and have poor credit. I wasn't able to get approval for a car loan through any local banks or credit unions but Kia has approved me for a Sorento. Since I have to go through them for financing, do I have any bargaining power left in buying my Kia or do they have me by the you know what?

Of course you have bargaining power. Make a good deal with dealer then go for the loan.

Price paid for KIA EX automatic by 3rdowner

I am in Denver. I bought an 04 EX auto 4x4 with ABS, running boards, front wind deflector, rear cargo mat for $21,600. The only additional $ was for tax and license fees. Two other dealers would not talk turkey. My price reflected the $1500 regular rebate, plus the $1000 rebate 'cause I owned a competitive SUV. After a week's worth of double checking the numbers, I feel I got a great price. PS, so far the vehicle is fantastic. Suberb workmanship. Tho not broken in yet, I am getting 16-17 mpg in town and 22 on the road.
