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! |

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. |

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: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) 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). |

Replying to: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) In regards to the LX with the aftermarket leather they told me they offer a warranty included for the leather if it ever ripped or prematurely wore out. There is no extra price for the warranty. But we decided to get the EX since it more features for only a few bucks and the V6 was about 1K more and we would be going on many trips w/ 5-7 people including our kids quite often. If anyone wants a breakdown of what we paid for the car I will post it up so you could compare deals. Just reply and ask for a post. I don't know how to start a new message so thats why its here. Thanks again. |

So one dealer an hour away has offered me a price of 19,691 on a Rondo LX V6 with third row seat, convenience group, and carpeted floor mats. I might try to take the floor mats out of the deal, as we'd be replacing them with heavy-duty rubber mats anyway (3 kids), thought I guess they add some soundproofing on long trips! Adding the $750 financing rebate, the final price would be $18,941 plus tax and plate. While that's not one of the wildly low prices I have read about on this board, it sure beats the $20,300 price that my local dealer offered. Anyone have any thoughts??? |
