I got my '04 Amanti 6/29/05 through a dealer auction direct purchase. Yes, I purchased a vehicle w/o actually seeing it, or driving it first. In fact, I was looking at SAAB 9-5's and Volvo S80's instead - So, why did I opt for the Amanti? My auction connection said that I could get a loaded '04 amanti 24k miles for about $13500 w/o sunroof. I thought about it and said, wait that is the one with Leather, trip PC, airbags everywhere, everything. More importantly the 10yr/100k warranty is what sold me. Now, you must also know I know my KIA's...I also have an '04 Sorento and love it (except for the HORRIBLE gas mileage 13/16 tops). It really is a little too early to say if I LOVE the Amanti...but, when I got the car with 24k miles, for $13080....I was less nervous about the purchase. The car was a rental, and I am in process of getting service records for Enterprise (we'll see). The only items I am a liitle upset about are that my car has no sunroof, heated seats, and ABS. I guess these are options the rental co's don't need or want to pay for. the car may need a brake job and I will need to get a 2nd new KeyFOB ($10 on ebay and $50 for dealer programming), and new key ($50)so...I feel I got a "good deal" so far on the overall purchase if that is all I have to stick into it right off the bat. The car does drive very smooth, and I am impressed by the overall size of the interior. Reminds me of what a lincoln might be sized like. It's big, that's all I know. Well, let me know if you think I got a good deal or not...I am curious. I KBB.com...the value. It looks like my car might have a trade in value of close to or little more than $13k and could retail for about $22k.

every time I use the key fob to get back into the car the mirrors go to a different position, it might memorize it one time but then the second time I push it, it goes to a different location. is any body else having a problem with this?

Replying to: donatello57 (Jul 07, 2005 8:05 pm) Inoticed in the Amanti post mentioned he purchased a former enterprise rental car. This is a gray area in KIA warranty book. Is the second owner still good for a 5/60K on a former rental car? Would appreciate an accurate answer as I'm looking at a similar situation for my son. Keith |

Got my first price on an '05 Amanti demo w/all options, 6K miles. Sales rep claims invoice is $27,512 (edmunds says $26,990) and w/rebate my price is $25,512. How much more of a discount should I reasonably expect to get because it is a demo holdover with half a year's mileage? Thanks.
