Never pay list on any car and use the rebate after finishing negotiation.
#137 of 191 Value Edition + A/C by crider3 Oct 11, 2007 (11:41 am)
Hi,   Wanted to find out if anyone tried to buy the "value" version of the car and had a dealer install the a/c on it. What was the cost and was it really worth it against buying an LS version ?

Replying to: crider3 (Oct 11, 2007 11:41 am) I have seen people write about buying the value version but I can't say much more. I believe there was someone who had the AC installed on that model. It should be under $1000.

Replying to: crider3 (Oct 11, 2007 11:41 am) I just bought a value version of the Aveo5. The dealer wanted $1,660 just for ac. I did not have it installed. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Nov 18, 2007 2:21 am)

Replying to: groverc (Nov 17, 2007 9:43 pm) Hit the parts or service departments of 10-20 dealers via phone or email towards the end of month for install of an ac on your model. See if you can work a 900-1000 deal.   Good luck --jjf   I just bought a value version of the Aveo5. The dealer wanted $1,660 just for ac. I did not have it installed.

I knew I wanted this car. It still took me four hours to get it and the dealership was rude to me.

The Value Editions and other non-AC basic model cars (Kia Rio, Ford Focus, etc) are produced in small numbers and when a dealer gets one they want to get rid of it quickly and cheaply. So they'll advertise a ridiculous low number and a hundred people will come to get the car but there will be only one to sell and it will be most likely sold for closer to sticker price and well before the ad is placed in the paper.   A Kia dealer here in DFW used to advertise their Kia Rios for $5888. Each dealer (they have 3 stores in town) would get one per month and they would run the TV spots all the time. At the time I was living in a hotel behind one of these dealers and I noticed a car with no hubcaps coming off the truck one morning. I checked it out, it had no AC, no radio, no power steering, no nothing. I knew it was the $5888 car and it was even in black. I went inside and tried to buy it for TWO HOURS. Finally they told me they couldn't finance it to me because their minimum financing amount was $5000 and I would have to put a third down, which would mean financing about $4400 and they simply wouldn't do it. I tried to have them add an extended warranty on the car (powertrain was covered 10yr/100K), window tint, floor mats, a radio, etc...I even offered to let them add the $2100 AC package which would have made the car at this point about $10K and even with half down it would be above their minimum and they flat out refused. Then the manager came out and said cash only. I had $3200 to my name at the time and couldn't do it.   The car was sold to the next person who walked in the door after me that morning, who also lived in the same hotel and was waiting JUST LIKE ME.   So if you want the stripper model, rent a hotel room by the dealership and wait it out!

Replying to: occupant1 (Dec 28, 2007 8:50 pm) That was pretty good but that dealer is crooked. I don't believe they can legally to you that it has to be financed or cash only or whatever they said. I have read about these dealers hiding these cars in the back and trying to get more money, etc. I wouldn't even pay $1,000 for their accessory A/C. $2,100 is a total rip-off for A/C especially when its 1/3 of the cars price to have it added. Generally most people don't want the A/C on this value leader type car thats how the customer saves money, but $2,100, thats ridiculous.
