#162 of 265 Re: latest experience [skiingyac] by taximom5 Apr 19, 2007 (5:43 pm)
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 265 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).

Replying to: al1991 (Apr 22, 2007 5:29 pm) I just want to thank everyone for the input. My wife and I decided to go with a EXV6w/ leather and dvd player from aftermarket. In Regards to the posted prices, the prices given to me was invoice, he even showed me the invoice sheet with all the options at MSRP and Invoice. He also said he had to move a lot of cars this month. So we felt comfortable with the price. 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.
#169 of 265 a reasonable offer? by taximom5 Apr 23, 2007 (4:01 pm)
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???
#170 of 265 Towing behind a Motorhome by bprenderson Apr 23, 2007 (4:21 pm)
Can the Kia Rondo I4 w/ 4 speed auto trans be towed 4 down behind a motorhome like the Honda CRV?   Thanks, Bubba Replies to this message: conwelpic (Apr 23, 2007 5:15 pm)
#171 of 265 Re: Towing behind a Motorhome [bprenderson] by conwelpic Apr 23, 2007 (5:15 pm)
Replying to: bprenderson (Apr 23, 2007 4:21 pm) According to the owners manual, the front wheels must be off the ground. It can only be towed with all four wheels on the ground temporary (max 40km (25mph) and maximum 25km (15 miles). Unfortunately the Honda CR-V has the upper hand on this one.
