Replying to: taximom5 (Apr 19, 2007 2:04 pm) I'm interested in purchasing a Rondo, but may wait until 2008. My current car, a '92 Taurus wagon has been good to me but it's not made anymore. On that deal, I had the dealer's cost with me and negotiated UP from that. Forget the MSRP! I had a very good experience with the Ford dealer back then. He totaled everything up, said "I think I'm entitled to make $350 on the car" which I felt was reasonable, and we made the deal. I hope my next car will be that easy! Good luck!

Replying to: taximom5 (Apr 19, 2007 2:04 pm) I hear you, taximom - what a lousy experience.   I wish you success in connecting with a Kia dealer who will have the integrity to offer you a clear price on the car you want!

Replying to: taximom5 (Apr 19, 2007 2:04 pm) Taximom5, if you are willing to go 7hrs to Chicago, are you willing to go 6 hrs to DE? I can hook you up with the salesperson who gave me the deal I got, it was the same car you're looking for except I got the I4 not the V6. Drop me an email if you would consider going to DE (my email in my profile), and I will talk to the guy. Replies to this message: taximom5 (Apr 19, 2007 5:43 pm)
#161 of 262 The dealer's response by taximom5 Apr 19, 2007 (4:45 pm)
Here it is:   "Like I mentioned before there are items on edmunds.com and consumer reports that are excluded from the invoices.    These are the item that comes standard on the 3-row LX/V6 Rondo that are not included on these websites.    Convenience Package = $250 Bumper Step Protector = $55 Cross Bars = $175 Carpeted Floor Mats = $75 Marketing Allowance = $563 Total = $1,118    It doesn't matter where you purchase your Rondo all the invoices are the same. If you go to Kia.com and input all the standard features on a 3-row LX/V6 Rondo with cloth interior your total M.S.R.P comes out to be $20,665. I am not making these things up.    If we can help you out please let us know.    Thank You Internet Sales Mgr"   Note: I test-drove a 3-row LX/V6 rondo with cloth interior, and it did NOT have any of those features that this dealer is calling "standard" (and charging $555 for!). So he is out-and-out lying.   I'm not even going to bother replying to him. He's out!

Replying to: skiingyac (Apr 19, 2007 4:41 pm) That is not a bad idea at all, skiingyac. We wouldn't be able to go until the end of June (which would be better timing $$-wise anyway). Only trouble is, we don't have family to stay with in DE, whereas we do in Chicago (as well as grandparents as built-in-babysitters).   Gee--can't we import your dealer to Pittsburgh??   BTW, what is the yac in skiingyac?
#163 of 262 Dealer made me an interesting offer, need help. by al1991 Apr 22, 2007 (5:29 pm)
Hi. I'm new to the board and have a question re:Kia Rondo LX and EX. I've gone to a new dealership located in queens NY. Anyway, here is the breakdown of his offer: Kia Rondo 4cyl LX: 16,895 425.00 3rd Row 1000 Leather(aftermarket install) 1000 DVD Player(aftermarket install) 595 Destination charge. TOTAL=19915. Dealer is also giving the (750cash back w/ 3.9apr 60 months) I'm curious if I should take this offer because I worry about the aftermarket leather(we MUST have leather)install since the LX doesnt come with leather. Is it worth it? We'd be saving a decent amount over an EX w/ leather. We really like the price but is it something that can void the warranty or anything like that. Also: Does anyone have pics of an LX.All I see are pics of EXs. Thanks a lot.

Replying to: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) Someone else will have to respond about your price. About the leather. The dealer won't be doing it, so find out who will and go see the kind of work they do. No, it won't affect your warranty on the car, but find out if you'll get a separate warranty for the leather seats from the company that's doing the work or will the KIA dealer stand behind the seats with the 5 year/60K mile basic warranty.

Replying to: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) Everything I reference is according to the Seattle market.   >Hi. I'm new to the board and have a question re:Kia Rondo LX and EX. I've gone to a new dealership located in queens NY. Anyway, here is the breakdown of his offer: Kia Rondo 4cyl LX: 16,895 [Gill] That seems a little low for the popular installed accessories. A little research might flush out exactly what they are offering.    >425.00 3rd Row [Gill] This is low. That option is usually $700-750.   >1000 Leather(aftermarket install) [Gill] Check elsewhare. Auto upolstery shops out here are doing for $700-800 and they have the exact match on the colors.    >1000 DVD Player(aftermarket install) [Gill] Close. I was just in Circuit City this morning and they had one on sale for $750 and installation was included.   >595 Destination charge. [Gill] A little low, but in the ball park.   >TOTAL=19915. [Gill] What's missing from your list is the $350 group advertising charge.   >Dealer is also giving the (750cash back w/ 3.9apr 60 months) [Gill] That comes from the factory, not the dealer.    >I'm curious if I should take this offer because I worry about the aftermarket leather(we MUST have leather)install since the LX doesnt come with leather. Is it worth it? [Gill] Only you could answer that question. Since it isn't factory installed there may be no credits at trade-in time.   >We'd be saving a decent amount over an EX w/ leather. We really like the price but is it something that can void the warranty or anything like that. [Gill] Only as it may relate to a claim on the seating.    >Also: Does anyone have pics of an LX.All I see are pics of EXs. [Gill] The EX is exactly like the LX except for more crome in the grill, 17" wheels and little more molding on the side. Hard to tell them apart at first glance.

Replying to: mr_orting (Apr 22, 2007 6:01 pm) Actually its very easy to tell the EX & LX apart by looking at the front, the EX has fog lights, the LX doesn't.

Replying to: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) Almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?   I guess the best you can do is to read ALL the fine print, and also make sure that this is a purchase price, not a lease price (I had a dealer try to do that to me once).
