#85 of 174 Sorento by ra_moen Mar 07, 2005 (9:58 am)
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!!

I just purchased a 2004 EX with LUX package and AWD, side bars, spoiler and tow bar. $23250.00 plus tax & license. Southern California. Too early to tell a lot, but love the car, ride is a little abrupt, but it's an SUV with real off road ability so it should be stiff.

I am looking to purchase a 2005 LX, the dealer is offering 22,300 OTD. This doesn't include AB. I am purchasing in the metro atlanta area. Is this a good deal? Possibly wondering if I could get EX model for that price? Replies to this message: ra_moen (Mar 23, 2005 4:22 pm)

Replying to: hogie1 (Mar 20, 2005 5:09 pm) Are you financing? Do you have a trade-in? We just bought an LX with ABS for 19,680, but we paid cash. I would recommend that if you are going to finance anything on the vehicle, do it before you go. That way you will have the same leverage with the dealer you would have if you were paying cash. It's all the same to them. Still, that price doesn't sound outrageous. If you are going to pay that price, I would suggest asking them to throw in some extras (maybe an extended warranty), or see if you can't get an EX like you said. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!!
#92 of 174 What does everyone think is fair by pumpkinjack Mar 31, 2005 (7:27 am)
Hello,       I am looking at buying a 2005 Automatic LX 4x4 w/ Sports package. The Kia website price is $25,170 before any rebates or dealing. It looks like about $1,000 markup over invoice. I would really like to get this for around $22,200 plus tax (I guess)has anyone recently purchased a 2005 LX Automatic recently, I see a lot of prices on this forum for between 19,700 and 22,300 OTD but I don't know if these are automatic or not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Replying to: tima (Feb 28, 2005 5:49 pm) On 4/8/05, I purchased a 2005 Sorento EX 2WD w/ leather seats, ABS, cargo tray and 1st aid kit. The list price was $26,460, and I paid $23,000, including the rebate. My local dealer is a Dodge store that only keeps a handful of Kia products in stock, so you may be able to do better at a higher volume dealership. I had a relatively pleasant experience with the saleswoman I dealt with, but then I went there prepared to buy only if they met my price. Don't go car shopping without a clear idea of what you want and how much you're willing to pay. (I learned that the hard way.) I researched this vehicle class fairly thoroughly, and I just kept coming back to the Sorento. I also test drove the Mazda Tribute, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4, and the Kia Sportage. Now I can only hope the research results in a pleasant ownership experience. I did like the Sportage, but it's not as comfortable as the Sorento, although it has some great standard features, especially the stability control system. I love the looks, the ride, the seats, the cargo capacity, the power, well, just about everything my Sorento. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: pumpkinjack (Apr 13, 2005 9:58 pm)

Replying to: riobravo (Apr 12, 2005 3:03 pm) Hello,          Thanks for the reply. So I guess that you negotiated about $1400 off of sticker after the rebates then. That isn't too bad, I was only shooting for about $1000 or so though. (But that is on an LX ), so I don't think $1000 or so after rebates is too bad. I never overpay for cars, the only reason I am having any debate at all is I usually buy my cars from one salesman at one dealership, but they don't have Kia and the Sorento is the only vehicle I like right now. I don't know where you live, but Pittsburgh is a bad place to buy cars. Especially lower cost 4WD, everyone here needs 4WD for the snow, but since there is prolific unemployment here, no one has any money to spend, so Kia is doing great sales numbers here Thanks again.
