Hey anyone that’s in the NY, NJ or Ct area that is interested, Stung by Kia is holding a car cruise on Saturday May 30th 8:30am starting in Shirley, NY and cruising out to Montauk,NY. If you are interested let me know or we will see you there. There are a few cars so far coming out from south Jersey. Hope to see you there.

Anyone in Jersey know of a place where I can pick up some methanol? Looking for 99% to mix up some Solar Flux.

Edit: confirmed I can just use Acetone or 91% rubbing alcohol.

Thanks guys. I'm in Freehold

Hey Greg, I am in neighboring Manalapan. Where did you get your car? Any pricing breakdown? Central NJ dealers are being pigs on the Stingers. Did you do the lease buyout?

Ran into a Grey GT yesterday on 78 heading towards PA. Anyone in here?

Hey Hawk, see you are in Central NJ. Same here, I am in the market for a Stinger but the dealers around here are being pigs. Any pricing info you can share or delaers? Thanks in advance.

I picked up mine for $9500 under. I don’t play those “what payment would you like to have” kind of games salespeople like so much. Go in with a number and tell them to keep the car if they don’t like it.
If the Stinger wasn’t in the cards for me I would have been very happy in a WRX or a Civic SI.

If that Kia dealer doesn’t want you, maybe a Genesis dealer does.
These things need to move more now than when I bought mine. Don’t play into their games or arguments, stand your ground and move on if they don’t like it.

I called BS on their fraudulent $4300 addendum list too. Sansone caught a big fine for that a year or so ago and Freehold had County Consumer Affairs investigating the same earlier this year. They were trying to sell a left over GT2 for over 57K.

Don’t be fooled by any price worksheets either, if it’s not on the “truth in lending” carbon sheets it’s not a binding agreement. They tried that game with me too and registration was for a lighter GVWR vehicle and they conveniently left out the $600 doc fee.

All dealers in NJ are going to pull these tricks, just be careful.

Yes I hear you. Not new to the car dealership trick and have bought plenty of cars. I name my price and move on. Years ago I almost took the Freehold Honda dealer to court over pricing games. I too would pick up the SI but the wife and kids can’t drive stick. I loved my old 92 SI hatch and my 08 Speed3. Been driving a company car the past 6 years (Ford Flex) and eager to get back into something sporty with my new job.

Anyone with coil or coilover opinions after contending with our NJ potholes? I bottom out hard with stock suspension and wheels in my area semi regularly.

I know @Kato_the_kia_stinger has had his Stinger for long time now, not sure what your setup is besides fast.

I’ve absorbed as much info available online as I can and have had a few conversations about coilovers which I’m steering away from as of late. Just need some practical application to come to a final decision.

I am lowered in Eibach springs. I’ve been lucky so far with potholes.

No personal experience with them, but it seems like every time I drive by there, I see some expensive cars in their driveway. I would assume they do good work if owners of Mclarens, AMG Mercedes, and the like take their cars there.

Agreed. All I’ve found are stellar reviews. I made an appointment.

Curious to know what you get and the cost. Thanks!

I’ll let you know how it goes. We didn’t discuss shade or product over the phone.

Trying to get the stinger movement going out here in the east coast. I see a lot of meets and greet in West coast. Want to see if we can get together and start something. If you in the tri-state are reply to the post and let’s set something up.

I am located in Philadelphia. I have been wondering if there’s any stinger clubs or meet ups going on. I have seen some Dodge chargers meet ups near me at the local Home Depot parking lot.. Would love to get a few of us together before the winter arrives? #stingergtphilly
