Kia Rondo LX 4cyl. Invoice price - 18,954 per Carsdirect.com. Price I paid - 17,600 OTD. I think I got a decent deal.

Am I ever envious of you guys in the States. Here in Canada, it's almost unheard of getting a car for under invoice price. I ordered my Rondo for about $600 under MSRP or a grand over invoice. As far as I know, that's about as good as it gets for a new model car at this time of year with no rebates or incentives being offered (there's the $500 grad program, but I'm way too long in the tooth to qualify for that  ). I live near the border and I've read about how to purchase a car in the States and potentially save thousands of dollars, but I just didn't have the time (or patience) to go through the hassle. |

Replying to: mr_orting (Apr 07, 2007 11:04 am) I bought my Rondo at Kia Autosport in Albany, GA. I was lucky because the owner needed two cars to make an Incentive and it was the last day of the month. I had a price and I stuck to it. The owner followed me out to my car and made another offer which I turned down. At around 10:30 that evening he finally gave in and met my price and then I asked for him to toss in dark window tinting, which he did. I have done this with Toyota and Hyundai in the past for a corolla and an elantra respectively and they would not meet or even come close to my price.

Well, we decided that we do want to buy a Rondo , but boy, is it frustrating dealing with the dealers! I signed up for on-line price quotes, but none of the dealers would quote a price--they all want me to show up at their dealership. Grrr. I finally fussed at them via e-mail, and 1 offered an LX 6-cylinder with 3rd seat and convenience group for 19,052, and one offered an unspecified Rondo for 18, 995. But I haven't been there yet, so I don't know what tricky little extra fees they are going to try to tack on. And the dealer closest to me that I did go to (and I brought all my consumerreports and edmunds.com downloads)only offered me $400 off of MSRP, even after I told him that I wouldn't discuss the MSRP, that I was only willing to discuss a price based on the dealer invoice. Double Grrr.  Needless, to say, I walked out. (Nicely--I shook hands with him and told him truthfully that I'd gotten a much better price at a dealer an hour away.) He's had that Rondo on his lot for 4 months now, you'd think he would have been happy to get rid of it. So--am I doing something wrong, is this just part of the gmae I hafta play?  Anyone have any advice?
