#215 of 383 Re: Kia Rondo Price Quote [alamocity] by mr_orting Aug 15, 2007 (4:33 pm)
Replying to: alamocity (Aug 15, 2007 12:30 pm) It's in the ball park for the Seattle market area. I paid $17,351 for the same vehicle + cross bars. Now there is $1,271.13 to be accounted for. Is that sales tax + rebate. You will pay a delivery charge and a group advertising fee. Now what is not being dislosed to you is that the dealer is getting a sales bonus for meeting quarterly sales figures and an end of year inventory bonus to clear stock. At the $17,351 figure, the dealer makes about $350 on the deal if he meets his quota; don't know how much Kia is paying for inventory clearence. You might want to look at fightingchance. com for some intelligence on the matter. Replies to this message: alamocity (Aug 15, 2007 6:54 pm)

Replying to: mr_orting (Aug 15, 2007 4:33 pm) The $17,000 figure does not include the sales tax of $1063.00, the balance covers title, registration, and state inventory tax (.002543 times car price). Have tried that site before and quite honestly I found the information they provided to be lacking.
#217 of 383 Kia Rondo LX4 - Price by rangav Aug 26, 2007 (11:20 am)
On Aug 23rd, I paid 17051 for LX 4 Cyl with Popular Equipment, Convenience packages, 3rd row seat and 4 piece carpeted floor mats. Then they added 349 doc fee. Destination charge is included. This price is after 1000 rebate (2.9% 60 months). Kansas City area. Replies to this message: 2bigdogs (Sep 01, 2007 4:25 am)

Replying to: rangav (Aug 26, 2007 11:20 am) I just picked up my new Rondo LX w/popular equipment (AC, cruise control) yesterday, in central southern NH I paid 16450, negotiated from a sticker of 18,888. I received both the $1000 cash back plus $750, and 2.9 - not sure how they did that but they were insistent that I got both. I compared prices in the area and no one could touch that deal. I drove almost 50 miles to that dealer since the local one in the seacoast is the typical BS artist/hard sell type and I did NOT want to deal with them. I got the color I wanted with the options I wanted (and Rondos in this area are in very short supply), so I'm happy. I just hope it can deal with snow in the winter, I'm used to 4WD lease, but couldn't afford to buy one this time around. The only thing added to the cost of the car was $27 for the state title fee - no big $250 fee for "office processing". This dealer is the bomb!
#219 of 383 Rondo Lease by dschuver Sep 19, 2007 (7:42 am)
Do you know if there is any special lease programs on a the 2007 Kia Rondo. Specifically, I am interested in a EX, V6, premium, leather package?    Do you know the residuals and money factors for the above vehicle on a 24 or 36 months (12,000 miles/year)?

Replying to: dschuver (Sep 19, 2007 7:42 am) My understanding is that lease programs are ALWAYS money down the drain, especially when the warranty is good and the quality of the vehicle is high.

Replying to: dschuver (Sep 19, 2007 7:42 am) I didn't check lease prices, but I've been leasing GM's for ten years, I didn't want to lease again, and if I was going to buy and pay for something for 5 years, it wasn't going to be GM. I never put money down on a lease, and AFAIK most Kia leases require money down, but the payments I ended up with are around $260, so you could hardly go wrong with buying one.   I went from 6cyl to 4 and I don't even mind it - the 4 cyl is one zippy little engine, I hit 70 without even realizing it on the highway. The reviews said the 6 cyl isn't worth the extra money, unless you plan to tow. So far I'm very happy - ask me again after I drive in snow.
#222 of 383 Press Request by KarenS HOST Sep 28, 2007 (5:19 am)
A reporter from a national newspaper is hoping to talk to consumers who purchased a car recently instead of waiting, fearing that prices may rise as the dollar weakens. Please reply to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than Monday, October 1, 2007 with your daytime contact info. Replies to this message: mr_orting (Oct 25, 2007 7:19 am) 204meca (Oct 25, 2007 10:49 am)
#223 of 383 Mr Orting - Are you out there? Help needed in Bellingham. by 204meca Oct 24, 2007 (11:13 pm)
Your info on your Rondo purchase was very informative & helpful. I would go the Fighting Chance route except I need to trade in my Ranger pickup, so I could not get a firm price via fax & phone. However, I live in Bellingham & will am talking with Smith Kia about a Costco price which is basically $300 over invoice (including shipping & advertising costs. But I think I can do better than that, especially with Oct 31 just around the corner. So far I am not impressed with the 2 sales guys I have spoken with They are young, polite, but very laid back & do not seem very eager or motivated. They certainly are not pushy! Any chance you can divulge the name of the sales manager you dealt with? Thanks.

We had the same isse but with a VW. We sold the car in less than three days with an ad in the Tacoma paper.   >However, I live in Bellingham & will am talking with Smith Kia about a Costco price which is basically $300 over invoice (including shipping & advertising costs.   [Gill] That's the standard Costco price I found when I faxed around or I got MSRP.   >But I think I can do better than that, especially with Oct 31 just around the corner.   [Gill] He can go down $1,099 under invoice and still make a good profit if he makes his numbers for the quarter. You might also want to consider taking a 07 once the 08s come out. The factory gives a nice discount to the purchaser just to clear inventory.   >So far I am not impressed with the 2 sales guys I have spoken with They are young, polite, but very laid back & do not seem very eager or motivated. They certainly are not pushy! Any chance you can divulge the name of the sales manager you dealt with? Thanks.   [Gill] The person's nane was Jason and he is the finance manager for the Kia operation and their chevrolet dealership in Everett. But, since you have opened a conversation with two of the salesmen, that might complicate things a bit since they would be entitled to some of any commission.   I can tell you, that you probably won't find a better car than the Rondo. We went on a 9,000 mile road trip across the country to the east coast. Loaded with luggage, my wife and I as well as two 17 year olds, and crusing consistantly at 70 to 75, I got 29 mph on my I4. Around town here, I get 25. Not one problem with the vehicle now that I have 13,000 + on it. We are well satisfied and considering giving the car to our twin grandsons and we will get a Sadona.
