Replying to: krutm (Nov 07, 2007 3:45 pm) According to the post from ISELLKIAS there are two oil change intervals. One is for no stop/go or long distance trips,(7500 miles) and one for stop/go driving i.e. city, where engine is turned off frequently. He did not mention what that stop/go mileage interval was. Personally, I change oil/filter every 3K miles, regardless of what the owner's manual says. Outside of one battery failure, my present car has 63K with NO problems. According to posts on the consumer ratings page, Kia is very, very strict on changing oil (according to that posting) within 5 miles of recommended mileage, OR they will not honor related warranty claims. This posting may be a little over the top, but check with your dealer to see if this is correct or just the requirements of that owners' dealer. From the various postings in the consumer ratings pages, warranty service for obvious defects may or may not be easy to obtain. From the number of postings on the Spectra consumer ratings pages, it seems like many folks have experienced difficulty in trying to get warranty repairs. |

Replying to: krutm (Nov 07, 2007 3:45 pm) My experience has been very positive in that respect. I'd strongly recommend dealer only servicing. If a warranty issue comes up, you've got records to prove that a defect exists since only the dealer has serviced the vehicle. This policy can avoid disputes over who's responsible for the work. Is it more costly? Definitely. Does it pay off in the long run? Definitely. |

Ok I have a price of $11,990 on a 2008 Spetra EX manual with cruise. I'm thinking from my research so far that this is a pretty good price. It's about $1,000 less than Edmunds TMV for my area on this car. What do you all think?????

Replying to: roscoe62 (Jun 16, 2008 1:18 pm) Also email 5 or more hyundai dealers within 100 miles of your home (hyundai website) for bids on an elantra gls with pwr pkg manual or auto (16000 or 17000msrp) and see what you can do last week of the month. Some dealers around the country have been letting them go for 12000 and 13000 and they are a significantly better car with more options std. Good luck --jjf Ok I have a price of $11,990 on a 2008 Spetra EX manual with cruise. I'm thinking from my research so far that this is a pretty good price.

Murray Kia in Conshohocken, PA has new 2009 Spectra LX with Air Conditioning and Automatic Transmission for $11,865 + tax and title fees. They are also offering the EX with Automatic Transmission for $12,865 + tax and title fees. I was going to get the Lx for my daughter but for the price difference I think the EX is a better deal? What do you think? Are these price's good? They can do either one at 0% for 60 months for $1000 more than the sale's price. They said it is because Kia reduce's the rebate for the 0% promotion.....Is this true? So far there internet guy has been great. Here is there website with the specials on it Murray Kia. Let me know what you guys think. There hasnt been any activity on this forum for some time. Thank You |

Replying to: eddie149 (Apr 30, 2009 6:49 pm) That's a good deal, but not quite as good as a written offer to sell I got for a new 2008 Optima LX (4 banger) for $12,914 and some change, which would be out the door. |
