What did you pay for your Kia Stinger?

You are likely dead on with your assessment. NEVER give a dealer any information. If they ask what you are looking at, just let them know "other brands." And if you want to do your homework, find out who owns these dealerships you are working with. Even if different, they are a long-term family network (literally) brotherhood going on.

This is why I am a huge fan of just dealing with dealers via emails. And do NOT let them know you are shopping out of region. Even when out of your local sphere of dealers, don't let others know you are from out-of-state, etc... if possible.

Remember: When is a dealer lying? When their lips are moving. ; )

Sorry to be so harsh on dealers, but their sole goal is to extract every dime out of your pocket as possible, nothing less, and help you feel like you got a great deal leaving the lot. I've never talked to anyone who thought they were screwed. Everyone I know says "I got a great deal!"...

Looking at this thread, it appears GT's are going for about $3k off sticker (close anyway). Not bad for a brand new rig. It will be quite fun seeing and exposing how much people are paying as move forward through 2018!
Hi MM. Do not be sorry about being truthful about car dealers. I had a horrible experience in purchasing my Stinger down here. I was told utter lies face to face and he didn't bat an eyelid. When later I backed him into a corner he said 'You've signed the contract" Kia Australia were uninterested. My advise: Treat the dealerships as a war zone, do your homework first and stick to your guns.
 
Micro Blue GT2 AWD for $50,399 (sticker $52,550). Took the lease cash and got monthly payments of $629/mo for 36/10k with $2k down. Plan to buy it out probably within the first year.

Red GT2 AWD for $49759 Plus $300 Processing Plus TaxTitleTags. Literally got up to walk out the door over their insistence on adding $950 for Nitro air bullsh*t and their generic wheel locks! Optioned Remote Start, Puddle Lights, wheel locks and Mud Guards.

Nice deal! You got much better port options than I did... I only got rear bumper applique (dumbest thing ever... and to think they charged like $90 for that...) and carpet floor mats.

TL,DR: I had the exact opposite situation by trying to get the best deal from multiple dealers. I'm 99% certain they worked together to stifle the sale.


That happened to me when I bought my VW ten years ago. I wanted a model with a rare feature combination, called a few dealers, and they seemed to figure out that I was the only person in the region that wanted that specific car. The dealer that had it on the lot basically held it hostage, so my local dealer couldn't swap with them.

Is that the port-installed remote start, or an aftermarket model? I don't think we've heard much about the Kia option, other than that UVO doesn't allow you to start it from the app.

This is the one that Kia offers for $495. Not aftermarket. About my options though...THEY HAVE NONE IN STOCK! Like, why on earth would you KNOW you have 5 Stingers coming and not have any of the optional stuff ordered? I have a feeling that if there's anything about this purchase that'll go south, it's going to be this. They said they have to order the mud guards, puddle lights and remote start. I'm annoyed as f**k to have to go back there and sit while they install it whenever it arrives. But I'm not going to let this sour my happiness of buying this gorgeous car.

Micro Blue GT AWD. Cargo Matt's / Net / Tray wheel locks, drive wise package, all season tires. Quote was MSRP + options = $43,720. Manager gave me 1k off because he messed something up on the original quote (it was completely unexpected!). So it was 42,720 before incentives. 0 down, 36 month 12k, TX taxes (full amt) came to $630 a month. They paid my first months payment and over stated the mileage by 400! Upgrading from a fully loaded 2015 Corsa Blue Optima SX. Still sitting in the showroom waiting for them to clean it up! So happy!!

Congratulations! That lease payment seems high compared to what others are posting. Did you say $630 a month?
 
Got it. Thanks. Enjoy it. My local dealer finally has one in stock. A base silky silver model. Not the one I want. I will wait a few months.
