Is this a good buy? 2004 EX 4x4 with 5K miles! by captoats

A business partner of mine has access to about 20 2004 EX 4X4's with cloth interiors, moon roof, and I think ABS. All these have between 2 and 10K miles with most around 5K miles. $19.500 for any one of these sounds like a good deal to me for virtually a brand new rig. Really wanted leather but cloth at this price might be worth a look. Sound like a good deal to anyone else??

  ..... Nobody is lining up for these dudes ..
 
           Low mileage EX 4x4 Sorento's are going thru the auctions faster than Ted Kennedy is losing his memory ..... $19,500.? no earthshaker there .. with leather, slider and with the abs, they're only doing the low $17's at the auctions on a reeeeal good day ... $18,5/$18,9 would just about kill em' on the Retail side .....

Internet Prices for Sorento by hamby

I dont know what's up with these great internet prices you can get from edmunds, kelly blue book or cars direct. I researched my vehicle on these sites and they gave me the same TMV price at about 24,600. Dudes, I got mine for 22,300. My point is that one should not reley upon these TMV or blue book prices at the best deal you can get. If I had used one of their buyers I would have had to fork over and extra $2000 bucks.

TMV isn't intended to represent the best price. It's the average price paid for the same vehicle in your area. If you did better, that's great - congratulations!

My husband bought me a brand-new 2005 Kia Sorento for Christmas. The price was $22,115 and it had 4 miles on it. I had a Optima before this and loved it but he had an accident in it so I thought I may as well upgrade since I am getting a new car. I love it and can't stay out of it!!!
The price for these has really dropped here in the time since he bought mine - as I said with mine under $25,00 and it very nice. You see more and more people driving them now.

I test drove a Sorento 2/26/05. Nice ride. I donot know much about KIA. I am trying to compare it against a Toyota Highlander?
Is there any give and take on new car purchases and how do you know low they will go?
Any advice would be appreciated.

it is tough to give advise to other people, it is very subjective.
there is always give and take on prices and varies form dealer to dealer and time of month and dealer stock.
and always consider factory rebates.
then there is the question of your requirements.
ours were, 3500lb towing capisity, tailgate window opening separately from tailgate door, part time 4 wheel drive, NO full time 4 wheel drive, NO anti lock brakes, minimum of 8 inches of ground clearance and a few others.
be aware that there are different types of ALL wheel drive systems, some much better than others. then of course there are 2 wd versions also
what are your requirements?
we purchased a 05 sorento EX
a Highlander did not meet our requirements and would have cost around 28-29K
the sorento was 5K under that.
and with the 6/60 10/100 warrantee for us was an easy choise
along with the Highlander and the sorento we researhed many others as well

We just bought our new 05 LX 4x4 with ABS, floor mats, cargo tray, and first aid kit for $19,680 cash plus trade-in (95 Miata with 205K miles). The first dealership we went to (Ron Tonkin in Gresham, OR) pretty much laughed us out the door when we offered $18,500 and the trade-in; they wouldn't even come close to that number and said it couldn't be done. The closest they came for a vehicle with the same options was $23K, and would only give us $500 for our car. We just went down the road to the next Kia dealership (Weston Kia) and offered them the same deal, and they worked with us. We're happy with the deal we got, and we will do business with Weston dealerships in Oregon again. They were great!
 
The only advice I can offer is don't back down! Name the price you want to pay, and if the dealership can't do it, go on to the next one. Someone will work with you; don't let them intimidate you...and have fun car shopping!!
