• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

MY21 Aussie Release Date

Good luck with it. Given how poor car sales are you should have a good chance to get some dollars off. I got discounts on tint and interior protection, plus the mats as I mentioned and squeezed an extra $500 out of them on my trade on a 15 year old commodore with over 270,000km on it. That was 2 years ago when they were selling heaps. At the moment you’d think they’d almost give them to you just to register a sale but you never know. Just stick to your guns and be prepared to walk if they won’t play ball. There’s always another dealership down the road.
Yeah I think I can sell it on Carsales for about 4k more than what I was offered as a trade in. I don’t think I’d go down any protection route

Definitely always another dealership, I plan to get prices from 4
 
Would you mind sending a picture like Lesa did so I could see a breakdown of the discount they gave you? Would like to use it as a bit of leverage :)
Here's another example for you. I just stripped out all identifying information. Best of luck :)

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
No problems at all, gone up by $5k so offered $74,995 plus on road. Andrew Simms. Have you requested any pricing, keen to see if it's the same?
Talked to dealer today Andrew Simms Botany, same quote as you got. They're expecting their demo anytime now, apparently it's in NZ somewhere.

Delivery was supposed to be mid December but now they are saying 28/12-5/1. Will post pics when I eventually get it.
 
Organised a new MY21 Stinger as a fleet car through work - which I'll have full personal use of. Dealer says delivery won't be until Jan 12th 2021 at the earliest. (fingers crossed for earlier).

Of course, issue being, I only ever signed a MY20 contract (MY21 wasn’t even available in dealer when I ordered).

I basically got the current MY20 deal on a MY21.

Not sure it’s much help.

I’d check the build date on the car when it arrives because based on that contract they’re only obligated to give you a MY20 build. They’ll probably have them in stock still so be careful.

Thanks, I’ve got the car though and it’s the facelift.

If I rocked up to pick it up, and it wasn’t a 21, I would have walked away. Contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, wasn’t initialed etc.
 
@Reldas and @HowDarren ... curious what your Build Date is on your vehicles.

And also Wtf people.! Stop ordering ceramic grey. I think I've counted 4? or 5 on the forum already (myself included) going for that colour :D

1st of October

Haha I haven’t seen a ceramic grey in person other than mine. Seems only people on this forum buy them!
 
Just got a call from my dealer. My CERAMIC GREY (hahaha) Stinger delivery is expected between late December to mid January. Depends on how bad the holidays messes with schedules.

No haven’t enquired yet on price but let the dealership know I’m interested in seeing their demo when it arrives.
Just had a call from the dealer, they have one now - it is getting groomed. Said hopefully be able to view it this Friday, with the PDF to see if NZ gets all the featured advised.

They called me earlier today, they have it, and is getting groomed, should be ready to view on Friday. Even the dealer is unsure of the specs so will be using the PDF as a guide to check if it has all the new gear...
 
Great news everyone.

I've just got a MY21 Stinger GT in Micro Blue for $62,000 drive away! Thank you to those couple of users on this forum providing help/tips and their contracts.

Stoked is an understatement. Delivery is Mid Feb, just in time for getting off my P's and onto my Open License :)
