Replying to: mr_orting (Apr 07, 2007 10:04 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?

Wow, 2 replies already? That was quick. Thanks, guys! Sorry, I haven't heard of BJ's? Are they in Western Pennsylvania? Do Costco and Sam's Club have the same deal? And I did show the dealer the e-mail from the hour-away-dealer offering a better price, and he said, "If you can get it for that price, take it, we can't sell it to you for less than what we offered you." I'm just worried that my husband and I will rearrange our work schedules to get out to this other dealer, and they will try to rip us off and not stick to their e-mail offer. (Sigh) Saturn is getting more appealing...

Yesterday I helped a friend purchase a 2007 Kia Rondo EX V6. Her Rondo had the premium package ($1200) and the leather package ($1000). The MSRP with those options was $22,995. The invoice is $21395. The purchase price was $20,800, which is $595 below invoice. We got this price without the $750 rebate that we did not qualify for because we did not finance the car through Kia Financial Services. By the way, we live in the Chicago-land area.

The Kia Rondo seems like a very interesting option compared to buying a large minivan. Does anybody know, if the second row would be able to accomodate a booster seat, regular car seat, and an infant car seat. I don't feel like the 3rd row would be safe for car seats and small chidren. Appreciate any feedback.
