#164 of 605 Re: low price [bumpy] by backy Oct 12, 2005 (3:14 pm)
Replying to: bumpy (Oct 12, 2005 2:07 pm) Aha! So the real price is $8995, after (let me guess): military rebate, college graduate rebate, dealer loyalty rebate (available only to people who own another car purchased at that dealership), Kia loyalty rebate, and who knows what else. Plus I expect this is one of those dealers who has a non-negotiable "documentation fee" of something like $595, and probably a non-negotiable "advertising fee" too. I've seen these kinds of ads before in papers from other cities. I'm glad dealers in my state don't pull these kinds of tricks (not all of them, anyway).

Replying to: bumpy (Oct 12, 2005 2:07 pm) $5995 (price includes all incentives and rebates, plus $3000 trade-in. Dealer retains all rebates and incentives. You will not get $3000 credit on your trade-in.)   I've seen this same advertising technique in our newspapers being used by a Chrysler/Dodge dealer. It is really one of the cheesiest schticks going.   Obviously the goal is to get you to stop and examine that particular dealer's ad. Whenever I see stuff like this, I immediately think: d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n   -SM Replies to this message: chuck1959 (Oct 13, 2005 1:12 pm)

Replying to: spectraman (Oct 12, 2005 5:02 pm) How do they figure in $3,000.00 trade-in before hand. IMO most people would want the rebate to be taken off the price of the car.
#167 of 605 I decided... by idrankwhat Oct 14, 2005 (9:35 pm)
...to go with a 2005 Accent GT. The deal was just too sweet to pass up. I got everything I wanted and they added cruise control. Paid $1800 under invoice.
#168 of 605 its not a joke by cougar7 Oct 16, 2005 (11:08 am)
because i went down to the dealership when i saw the commercial on tv and asked the salesmen and they really offered the car for about $6000, even though the true advertised price was $6988. i am not a Kia guy but if i was or if i just needed a car like the Rio i would have bought it. you have to believe me. if you want you can check out the dealership yourself. for a detailed description of the address go to bigredsports&imports.com. or i can tell you that it is in the city of Norman south of Oklahoma City on I-35.

Replying to: cougar7 (Oct 16, 2005 11:08 am) The URL was incorrect, but I did find the Web site for the dealership by searching on a certain search engine that starts with a "G". What I don't understand is how they can sell something they don't have. According to their online inventory, they have no 2005 Rios in stock. So if they did offer a 2005 Rio for $5995 at one time, they don't anymore.
#171 of 605 Anyone driven an '06 Rio yet? by allfiredup Oct 17, 2005 (6:20 pm)
Has anyone driven an '06 Rio yet? Kia hasn't updated their site with the '06 info yet, but Edmunds has. It's a helluva lot of car for the money, particularly the LX. I was shopping for something in the Civic/Mazda3 range, but if the Rio meets my needs I sure wouldn't mind saving $5k!   Anyone have any experience with it yet?

Replying to: allfiredup (Oct 17, 2005 6:20 pm) If you look back a little ways you'll see driving impressions from multiple people, including me.
#173 of 605 Re: Detroit News review of new Rio5 - 10/18/2005 by spectraman Oct 19, 2005 (3:42 pm)
Replying to: allfiredup (Oct 17, 2005 6:20 pm) Now... the $64,000 question is..... WHERE DID THEY GET A RIO5 TO TEST????   http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosconsumer/0510/19/F03-353600.htm The article is summarized by this paragraph:   "Too bad we don't give half-stars in these reviews. Because I might be tempted to give Kia four and a half stars for the Rio5. They have now polished their reputation so much in the United States that they almost don't need to keep giving buyers extras like a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and free 24-hour roadside assistance. But they still do. . Intangibles like that are all part of the total value equation, and the Koreans do that almost better than anybody."
