#19 of 67 Kia Forte SX with Power Sun Roof by mndconn

Jun 03, 2010 (6:16 pm)

Just purchased on 6/1 from Battlefield Kia in Gettysburg, PA a 2010 silver Kia Forte SX Sedan automatic with a power sunroof and only 49 miles on it. Asked that the ipod cable be included which it was.
 
Did not have the auto-dimming mirror, leather package or cargo net or tray.
 
Sticker: 19,890 plus a few hundred for dealer appearance package, etc.
Total before negotiation: 20,100
Final price with 2,000 in rebates and negotiation: 16,583
 
16,583 was their first price to us and I knew going in that anything in the low 17s was a heck of a deal! Then they found a bank to give us 3.24% 60 month financing. We came home to double check all the price and loan numbers since this seemed pretty low... confirmed it and went back the next day to do the paperwork.
 
I found the buying experience very good, hassle free, and pleasant. I do wish they would have done a better job cleaning the car before pick-up. Dirty windows and a few bits of pretty visible dirt in the trunk showed that the windex and vacuum did not get a lot of use when they prepped it for delivery.

I really like this car after trying out the hynudai elantra,
 
but price they offered i thought was too high..before taxes $16,004 includes rebate, OTD was around $18,560
 
This had nothing extra was just standard EX. I was actually surprised they did not try to hard sell us, they let us go pretty easy.
 
I know I can do better then that

the reason that they were probably relaxed on the high pressure sale is because the forte's and forte koup's specificly are pretty hot cars right now.

#28 of 67 Forte ex Fuel Economy pkg by sarcophilus

Jul 07, 2010 (4:14 am)

I purchased my Forte on the last day of the CARS program and was out the door for 18.5k. Got $4500 trade in and put 1k down. Was very happy w/ vehicle. 2 weeks ago was stopped in traffic and was rear ended by Chevy Tahoe going 45mph or so I was told. Walked away from it relatively unscathed. Rear crumple zones absorbed shock but now car is totalled. Will definitely be getting another Forte ex w/ fuel eco pkg. What is best price anyone has got in Southern US within last month or so?
