Reasonable price for Stinger GT line + sun & sound package

[Nocostinger]

Did you just get a response, or did they actually perform the warranty repairs?
I've been getting reply... but then it seem to bounce between corporate & dealer, and then just gets forgotten until I call again... and again... and again. I may give up since the lease runs out in a few months.

Short version - I brought the Stinger to the dealer in June. Dealer says warranty repairs have to be approved by corporate, and I have to open a case. I opened a case. In September they "escalate" the case. Now I get an email every 4-6 weeks asking me very odd questions, for example, "Did you take the car to the dealer?". Then weeks later, "Is your car at the dealer now?". Then weeks later, "Have you always taken it to the same dealership?"

Yes actually. I had eyelashes, gravel and other crap in my clearcoat. While I opted not to repaint due to fear of f*cking up the chroma red, lighting them up on facebook achieved the effect. every time I went 72 hours without a response i'd share pics showing the stuff in my paint and the fact that they had yet to resolve my case.

So how did it get resolved? Did they repaint the Stinger?
My two open cases are 1) the fader issue, for which there's a service bulletin PS573, and 2) faded & cracked paint on the moldings above the doors. Discussed in this thread:

Paint Issues

I have a silver 2018 Kia Stinger GT. I like the car and it’s fun to drive but starting to have bad paint cracking along the plastic strips on the roof. Anyone else hear anything about this problem?

From MSRP to Invoice theres about $2,000 of negotiation room right there. More if you get lucky. After that it depends on the incentives available. Keep in mind, depending how you purchase/lease, you may be able to land yourself a GT with the 3.3tt for a little more money. My GT ended up being $500 more than a loaded GT-line....thats a no brainer right there.
Let me know if you need help in negotiations and figuring out your deal...i do this professionally.

Hi Nocostinger,

I am waiting to here back from two dealers tomorrow if they have had any luck on locating me a white GT Line. Even if I got a better deal on one of the higher end cars I still would rather have the GT line.

In doing my researh, I looks like all the dealers are sticking to the MSRP. Do you have any advise for getting a lower price? Much appreciated.

I just picked up my 21 AWD GT line for 34.5k out the door. I think the best strategy is to email multiple dealers and slowly work your way down to the one that offers you the best price without ever going into the dealer. It helps if you aren’t too picky about color either.

Thank you. Yeah, unfortunately I am am picky about the color, I wasn't even in the market for a new car until I saw the stinger a week ago. Then after doing some research I really want the new '22 with the increased horsepower to 300. I could only find one of the exact cars that I want, dang it, I'll probably pay through the nose on it.

Yea the dealer I went to had a few 22 GT lines in stock and wouldn’t negotiate the price at all so you’ll most likely be paying MSRP for the new model year.
