#1 of 40 Kia Spectra5: Prices Paid & Buying Experience by loco5 Mar 17, 2005 (9:06 pm)
I wanted to post my experience and pricing paid for my new Spectra5 I purchased this week.   $16965 was MSRP for the 2005 Kia Spectra5 manual tranny. This included the options of Sunroof, ABS, Cruise, and Floormats.   I negotiated the price of $15114, which is 3/4% over invoice - cash back incentive of $1000.   I did all of this via the web as I test drove one over the weekend and decided that was what I wanted and I proceeded to email all dealers and negotiate for the best deal.   Thanks, Keith Replies to this message: kaisabuk (Apr 22, 2005 11:55 am) tom71 (Oct 17, 2005 12:42 pm) oknitro (Nov 20, 2005 11:48 pm)

Replying to: loco5 (Mar 17, 2005 9:06 pm) The sticker price for my Spectra5 was 17,500, We got it at 13,880. The test drive was an instant sell, but we had no money for a down payment so we were going to wait, but they kept throwing offers at us. Then we finally caved and and bought the best looking, handling, driving car for the cost. I just wish my fiance wanted a 5 speed.

Hey everyone! I just purchased a 2005 Spectra5 about 2 weeks ago. So far I am really impressed with the car. Very quiet,handles good,great gas mileage! I was wondering if anyone has mod their cars? Does it void the warranty?? I was happy with the price sticker was 18,000 cause I got it with sunroof and sport package I think it said but then I got a 1,000 rebate! I got it in black and wished now I would have gotten it in spark blue..lol..oh well..

Replying to: rsxyjade84 (Apr 19, 2005 9:47 am) don't do anything that you can't change back before you take it to the dealer for repair work...Like lowering it would be a warranty void-er. Chipping would too. I too like the lighter colors on this car...they show off the body line that runs from the front over the wheel and along the side.

Replying to: chrisducati (Apr 20, 2005 1:23 pm) I bought the Silver Spectra5 fully loaded minus the ABS. The sticker price was 17,500, we got the car for 260 a month, no down payment and Lojack installed. They gave us a price of 13,880. The term of the loan is a little long because of the lack of a down payment, but it worth every penny. The more I drive this beauty, the better it rides. I test drove this baby and fell in love right away and only read reviews of other cars. It was the best value of all the cars out there. Where can I find new emblems for this car, I would have to bring it back to the dealer and make appointments and I have no time for that, I just want to order one.

#7 of 40 red Spectra5 by smalltown Apr 25, 2005 (8:00 am)
Bought Saturday morning, automatic, sunroof, cruise control & floor mats. MSRP was $17540, minus $610 dealer discount & $1000 rebate. This dealer does not negotiate from their advertised price which, in this case, is well below Edmund's TVM. After the test drive, I had two 5-minute phone calls over the next two weeks before deciding. The dealer is 90 miles from me. Other Kia dealers are 85-100 miles in different directions. So comparison shopping is not worth my time or expense. I also bought a Hyundai Accent from this dealer three years ago base on a firm price quote in an email, which took two minutes to write. This dealer handles 15 brands, including Mazda, Nissan, Chevy, Lexus and Jaguar. They are all sold the same way.

Replying to: smalltown (Apr 25, 2005 8:00 am) How much did you actually pay for the vehicle? You mentioned the MSRP, but never gave the actual dealer set price. Replies to this message: smalltown (Apr 26, 2005 10:12 am) kaisabuk (Apr 26, 2005 11:34 am)

Replying to: kaisabuk (Apr 26, 2005 6:27 am) $17540 - $610 - $1000 = $15930 before taxes Replies to this message: kaisabuk (Apr 26, 2005 11:34 am)

Replying to: smalltown (Apr 26, 2005 10:12 am) Wow I can't believe that a car place can charge that much for a car and not even let you haggle. How do they stay in business?
