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.

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) Comments??: Just one. I've got the '04 in dark Gray with the "Dove Gray" interior. While I don't drive all that much, just 13K so far, I can say that this Amanti is the best car I've ever owned. No BS at all... The best. In the time I've owned/driven it, there has been exactly one (1) warranty fix. A bearing. The dealer took care of it. I'm happy. |

Hi all... I just purchased this car for my wife... actually she picked color and model... with the Stability Control and Infinity Package for $24201 at Executive Kia in Wallingford, CT. I thought that I got a good deal. What do you people out there think of the 'deal'? PPB
