Replying to: futura77339 (Aug 14, 2005 4:30 pm) Since this is the pricing discussion, you're more likely to find those who own the vehicle in our regular Kia Amanti discussion. That's the best place to ask your question.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions

Replying to: donatello57 (Jul 07, 2005 7:05 pm) Hi donatello,   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

Replying to: lee_w (Aug 13, 2004 6:38 am) Local Kia dealer in Buffalo area had blow out sale offering $9,000 off the Amanti. Had to have a kia or competing car to get the extra 2,000 tp get to 9,000. Local Northtown dealer was slick however they charged for gas and extra fees that werent part of the deal so look out for extra charges later on in the deal. The car is great!
#12 of 31 Buying a Demo by cars4mike Jan 10, 2006 (6:44 pm)
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.

#16 of 31 '05 Amanti 23,000mi by buy Jul 04, 2006 (1:29 am)
Just bought a used Amanti and love the car. I'm new to Kia and liked the idea of a used vehicle with decent mileage -- "luxury feature" at low budget price. I got the car at just under 15,000 which was significantly less than those showing on Autotrader.com and dealer websites. I thought I did my homework as I got a CARFAX report first and the vehicle shows as a rental- sold at auction to dealer, it would then go to me. It was represented that I'd get the balance of the 5yr. 60K mile warranty, but I didn't get that in writing. Would I still be considered the second owner (CARFAX shows 2 owners...dealer counts?) and/or does this make a difference to the warranty?   A bigger concern I have is the color. It was quoted by phone as "burgundy" fully loaded 15,995- no such color in the catalog. At first I thought it was the deep red rose, but it's almost black and has a hint of metallic burgundy. Even still, I wasn't concerned when I saw the car because the '05 Amanti brochure color sample seems dark and I had not seen a deep red rose in any showroom. In any event, the transfer paperwork shows the car's color as "mahogany" and anyone who has seen it in the past 10 hours that I've possessed it mistakes it for black. Does anyone know if what I'm describing is a "true" Amanti original finish? Despite the clean CARFAX report, I'm wondering if the car was ever in an accident and re-finished after body work. Would the CARFAX history show service by VIN from a rental agency or would rental companies handle their own body work without report? Also there exists the possibility that the dealer used it as sales car or whatever because it seems about 500 miles were put on the car from the time they purchased it at auction one month ago. I like the care so far, but am getting buyer's remorse because I fear that if the color is not true to Kia, it's not original, and that's for a reason. Unfortunately, I didn't connect any of this before the non-refundable purchase from the dealer. Also, assuming there was no accident or is no chronic or major problems to come with the vehicle, will it alter the trade-in value to have a unlisted color on the car? Comments ?? Advice??

Replying to: buy (Jul 04, 2006 1:29 am) The original Dark Rose Red is a very dark metalic red that looks black from a distance. The color, generally, can only be seen where the sun highlights the curves of the body. I'd say you have the original paint on your car.
