#165 of 174 First Car by carlover20 Oct 13, 2007 (10:36 am)
I am in high school and am looking for my first car. I want AWD or 4WD because I live in upstate New York. I have been looking at the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. I have recently come across a Kia Sorento. I like the looks of the Kia better than the Honda or the Toyota but am worried because of the bad fuel economy and underpowered V6. I would get the 2004 because that was the year consumer reports said it was reliable. Can anybody give me any advice on which one to get. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Oct 14, 2007 8:28 am)

#168 of 174 Buying a new 2007 SUV in April, 2008 by pesco Apr 26, 2008 (6:31 pm)
Hello, thought I'd run this by everybody for some thoughts...   I'm looking at a 2007 Kia Sorento EX 4X4 with Luxury option package. It is a demo with 5200 miles.   They want to sell it for $28k, minus $3k rebate. I thought it was pretty laughable. I think I could probably get a 2008 for this.   On sites like Edmunds I can't get a TMV amount for a new 2007 vehicle. And there aren't any values for Certified Used 2007's.   It seems like there should be a deep discount on a car that's last year's model (especially since the 2009's are about 3-4 months away) and since it was a demo car that has over 5k miles on it, it's just hard to know exactly how deep a discount it should get.   So here's my math, I want to see what people think:   2008 Kia Sorento (NOTE, 2008!) National Base Price: 24,790 Optional Equipment: 2,760 Destination Charge: 700 Total for 2008 with options: 28250   Subtract depreciation (10%, pulled out of the air): 2,800 Subtract mileage ($0.15/mi): 750 Subtract Cash back from Mfr: 3,000 Total adjusted total for 2007 model: 21,700   Thanks for any feedback.

Replying to: pesco (Apr 26, 2008 6:31 pm) Okay, so I bought a 2006 Sorento demo (never titled) with all of the bells and whistles in May of 2007 with 5200 miles. This is the same as your situation, just a year later....   Sticker: $31355 Rebate to Dealer: - 4500 Net 26855 Price paid w/o TTL 20800 Net discount $6055   Basically I got 22.5% off the sticker price after adjusting for the rebate. Using the same math, a similar deal would put your 2007 at $19557. Be sure to check the internet for the official KIA rebate, it may be higher for the year old model.   It all depends how bad they want to get rid of it and how bad you want it.

Just got an estimate on a 2008 Sorrento base LX    MSRP: $21,870    No additional options: $15,998 + TTL   Is this good? Replies to this message: robert135 (Dec 14, 2008 8:46 pm)
#171 of 174 price by robert135 Dec 14, 2008 (8:46 pm)
Replying to: godwheel (Aug 27, 2008 6:59 pm) as of this writing, talked to a few dealers, that would go down from the $21,780 on the Kia Sedona LX Base to $20,990 and then because of the $5000 cash back rebate, if you applied that to the price, you get $15,990 + TTL + doc prep (aka "dealer profit") fee.   If the doc prep/dealer profit fee isn't too bad, thats about as good as it gets.   I mean, at least I called all over the place, and most dealers insisted that they were going to include various fee's and options that I didn't want. I only found a few that would really sell the car at this price. Even carsdirect.com came back at $16400 in my area, allthough they are doing the deal at $15990 in the Los Angeles area.   Its definately a standard low end price, but...I searched for three weeks and didn't find anyone to beat it, and I contacted about a dozen dealerships.
#172 of 174 Good Deals at Community Kia! by bfreeman333 Mar 09, 2009 (7:56 pm)
I got a 2008 Kia Sorento with Automatic Transmission and Rear Wheel Drive for $22,250 at Community Kia, with an additional $5,000 factory rebate...making the grand total only $17,250!! I thought this was a great deal, so I figured I'd post it here   Check out their online inventory of Sorentos! http://www.communitykia.com/inventory/search.php/ID_communitykia/TYPE_new/PAGE_1- /SORTBY_price/MODEL_sorento/
#173 of 174 Laaaaame by bfreeman333 Mar 09, 2009 (8:01 pm)
Haha right after I posted that last messege, a buddy of mine from Florida showed me a link that had a Sorento offered at $18,019!!! With the $5,000 factory rebate on top of that, too...making the grand total only $13,019 if you live in Coral Springs, FL!   http://coralspringskia.autofusion.com/inventory/search.php/ID_coralspringskia/TY- PE_new/PAGE_1/SORTBY_price/MODEL_sorento/   Now I feel dumb for paying so much...but it's not like I'm going to go out to Florida just to get the vehicle! (I live near LA)...
