#165 of 605 Re: low price [bumpy] by spectraman Oct 12, 2005 (5:02 pm)
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."
#174 of 605 Very comprehensive review of the Rio and Rio5 by spectraman Oct 21, 2005 (1:01 pm)
Here's a very detailed and informative review article on the Rio and Rio5.   http://www.autobytel.com/content/shared/articles/templates/index.cfm/article_page_order_in- - t/1/article_id_int/754   It paints the Rio5 in a favorable light, BUT... the shortcomings that are described (that I *know* aren't in the Spectra line) would make me think twice of purchasing a Rio5 if KIA tries holding the price line anywhere near the $15k mark that a Rio5 SX with power pack and automatic trans will list at.   I only paid $13,373 (not including tax and dest) for my Spectra EX just last year!   The Rio5 equipped as described above had *better* come in somewhere between $11-13k (not including tax and dest) to keep my interest.   -SM
