Buy a MY18 Stinger now or Wait for the MY19 in September ?

@AV8R waiting until around EOFY was definitely a good decision. Was pretty happy with it - able to negotiate a reasonable amount off and get decent finance rate as the deal was secured just before July.
 
Well done & congrats on your purchase glad to offer some insight, you obviously did a good deal then, so what did you end up ordering, colour etc, again welcome to the club.

Hi Stinger GT SS - Yes it was a extremely good deal It will be ready in 2 weeks May build date, Pearl White GT with the extras you mentioned to go for.
I promised not to mention prices until I pick up the car ;);) but lets just say I made a few salesman cry :cry::cry: and there is a slab bet on price with another dealership lol :sneaky::sneaky:

4.5% interest rate:):)

@D-C sounds like you beat me. Please leave now before I get even more jealous haha. 4.5 is a very good rate.
Haha sorry Daniel I won’t mention the price then, in saying that you did get yours for a really good price well done, what’s your build date ?
4.5% is a awesome rate was very happy with the outcome.

I think I’ll order the exhaust from Unichip and purchase a JB4, I currently have this on my BMW 335i making some big power. How many Kim’s should I run it in before adding the extras ?

Thanks

What is a Stainless Steel luggage pallet? Im aware the MY19 comes with Michelin but thought that was all they upgraded.
It was quoted by the sales dealer, I cant tell you exactly what it is as it is still to be released.
Here's an extract from a Motoring article that mentions the updates to the MY19.

"Beyond the transmission, European buyers, and this is likely to trickle down to Australian cars too, will get a frameless 8.0-inch infotainment screen with a stainless-steel insert added to the cargo area. Kia UK is also looking at a new exhaust system like the cost-optional exhaust that’s already available to Australian Stinger buyers."

If you do Not need a car right Now, you should wait. Than you can see what the 2019 Stinger offers and if any 2018's are left you can decide what is the best buy for your money

Congrats on the purchase Hiro.

How much did you pay at which Dealership?

I deciding on whether to buy from my local dealership at a premium or get a car broker to find it for cheaper.

Try a broker first, John Cadogan can do it, also shop around @FitR6 got a GT a couple of weeks ago $5k less only 3hrs from home base, you then use your local dealer for warranty/servicing etc....win win all round for you. You have the $$$ they want it, while you are in this position, you have the power. Remember this, there is a KIA dealer in OZ that will take your money on your reasonable terms...good luck.

I tried John Cadogan and two other fleet dealers and they couldn't get a better price than I got myself due to small supply and large demand of this car.
