#66 of 169 New Sorento Owner by rocco56 Dec 04, 2004 (8:46 pm)
I recently purchased a 2005 Sorento EX 2WD with all options from a Central Florida dealer located in Brevard County. My experience was quite pleasant without the normal sales BS you might expect. I did quite a bit of web research using edmunds.com and other resources. I also checked with my credit union's fleet pricing deals. I had a good idea of what dealer cost was and what incentives and holdbacks were on the table. I paid cash for the vehicle so I also had some leverage. I offered my bottom line number, they countered with a slightly higher number and we split the difference. After that we negotiated a trade-in price for my wife's 96 Saturn. Once again, edmunds.com along with KBB were very useful in determining the value of the trade. Negotiations didn't take more than 15 minutes. I drove off happy with a fully loaded EX that cost me thousands less than MSRP and well below invoice. I even picked up the three year standard maintenance coverage for $200. Overall, a very satisfying experience and a great vehicle. Replies to this message: frustrated2 (Dec 19, 2004 3:44 pm) sheriff2 (Mar 08, 2005 6:09 pm)
#67 of 169 Attempt to buy a Sorento by tigerlil Dec 17, 2004 (10:04 pm)
My husband and I went into Elkins Kia in Bossier City, Louisiana and it was a huge disappointment. It's a small(ish) dealership and we were willing to meet them half-way for a fair price/deal, however they wouldn't even attempt to work with us. They insisted on a downpayment of $2500, offered only high interest rates and weren't even pleasant. The first and last time we go there. We were negotiating for a 05 LX-sports pkg. The whole "Gulf region" was out of the 04's.

Replying to: soccermom3 (Jun 27, 2004 9:15 am) how did you guys get below invoice. I talked to different dealers who will not go below invoice. They tell me this is what they paid for the car (which i know is not true) and that there is not much mark up in the vehicle. Since they wont budge on invoice then I am trying to have them throw in running boards, tow hitch, cargo mat which they tell me I can have at cost. I want it thrown in! Help! I am trying to purchase within next two days. thanks
#70 of 169 New 05 Sorento by smokescreen Dec 30, 2004 (9:28 am)
We purchased a Sorento in November in the Tampa/Clearwater area of Florida. It is a new 05 with 2-tone EX (blue/gold), the normal sunroof, ABS, foglights, and such. The only addon that I remember was the rear splash guards. Anyway we paid 22,800 out the door so the actual price of the vehicle was around 20,700. The window sticker was 25,053.

Replying to: smokescreen (Dec 30, 2004 9:28 am) well i just purchased (finally but still not happy with price after reading every ones messages). Purchased 05 Sorento EX Black and Gold. Sticker price was about 26,8 something. Added running boards (at cost to put on ourselves to save $100 bucks), and tow hitch, and cargo mat. Plus they have to go get in in columbus which is 2 hrs from where I live (supposedly at no cost which to me is part of selling a car). Out the door including tax was 25,6 something and I got 3.9% interest. Oh yeah and three oil changes thrown in (oh boyyy). I was trying to get them at least 25K OTD but they stated they would be losing money (which I know they wouldnt) since there is not much mark up in sorrento pricing. Plus taking money out for salesman and sending 2 people up to purchase vehicle. Oh well stress and games are over. My disappointment with soon go away. I hope. I will get the car monday so hopefully it drives well and is the vehicle I hope it should be. Take care everyone and good luck. (I needed you guys in the dealership with me LOL )

Replying to: jxd (Jan 02, 2005 7:04 pm) Thanks for your info. I saw some other msgs from guys that did even better, around 25 K few months earlier (mid 2004) for 2004 model. Well, also some scary reports, so now I will just stop looking for them. I do enjoy this car so far a lot, and hope it will last (so far emptied the first tank, 12.5 M/gallon - well, it is a big car). I hope it will last, since I like it a lot, and my main motivation buying it, was the great value - bad record would just screw the fun. M

Congratulation! It looks like people are paying what I paid ($26,100) two years ago for my 2003 EX 4WD, luxury package, ABS, self-levelizer, cargo tray and mud guards. I got no cash back or factory incentive at that time.
