Replying to: tourist1292 (Jun 05, 2009 9:27 am) Again, this is about buying a 08 Rondo used or new right now." I agree with tourist1292, lots of talk about depreciation (especially irrelevant 1 yr depreciation) but not nearly as much about all the other factors. 0% financing on a new vehicle is a huge deal, nothing comparable for a used vehicle. EZ to do internet search for a new vehicle and know all details of the vehicle (color, options, condition "new"), with a used vehicle, dealers and private parties are very inconsistent in listing features and conditions which means more phone work, footwork, travel to distant towns and arranging independant vehicle inspections. A great price on the wrong car is not a good deal. |

| Ok Ladies and Gents: I just paid $15,500 for a new 2008 Rondo EXV6, with the 3rd seat and Premium Package, plus cargo tray and roof rails. Did I get a good deal? Two other dealers I was working with wouldn't go below $15,900 and this guy wouldn't take $14,900. So my head is still swimming in numbers, and fees, and holdbacks and factory/dealer incentives...I did get the $4,000 KIA rebate (obviously) but when I see KBB saying they're worth 10 - 13K -- I'm not sure I got the deal I was expecting...it's so hard to know what options people are talking about...So did I do good? | |

Again, by comparison, my 2007 LX I-4 (no cargo tray) cost me $16,800 20 months ago. So you get a new 2008 with a bigger engine, 20 months later, for $1400 less than what I thought was a very good deal for mine? That's terrific!

Replying to: tootsdonovan (Jun 10, 2009 1:42 pm) I live in the mid-west and I only use AC a few days every year. In addition, I have the windows tinted last week. Even in the last couple days above 80F, it wasn't too bad even without turning on AC. |

Ooooooooooooh....I'm so excited! I just picked it up! Rides like a dream. Really quiet and lots o'pep! The salesman and I had a comedy routine with the interior dome lights (getting them to fade off..) and getting the headlights to shutoff automatically when the key was removed...but other than that it was a good experience. I WAS a hard bargainer -- I had 3 dealerships competing against each other and when one dropped a price -- I pitched it to the other 2. When I walked in to pickup the car, they gave me a standing ovation. Howz the window tint applied? Thinking about doing that -- I noticed the moonroof was tinted...Did you get it done at KIA or outside place?
