Buying two Kias at the same time

[Travis Wills]

My wife has finally decided to sell her beloved 2016 Infiniti QX80 Signature edition and my 2016 Q50 lease ends in December. Therefore, we are looking to get into a fully loaded Telluride SX and a 2019 Stinger GT2 AWD.

We got a ridiculous(surprisingly good) offer from Vroom for her QX80 so she has a substantial amount of positive equity that we don’t want to be driving around with anymore.

If we trade her car in then we get a tax credit for a car that we buy. That wouldn’t apply to a lease.

For the Telluride you pretty much have to pay full sticker for the model she wants with brown interior but the finance interest rates are not bad. The leases have high interest rates but the residual is quite good.

For the Stinger the lease cash is over $10k plus dealer discount. However, we would technically qualify for the loyalty(telluride)$3000 and the conquest(Q50)$3000 rebates for the Stinger. And I do believe you can stack those rebates and take the zero percent financing. That would get me to a really low payment on the Stinger.

Has anyone else been able to get a great deal by buying two cars at once? My local dealer has tons of GT2 Stingers collecting dust on their lot but they haven’t been willing to advertise deep discounts just yet. They sell their SX Tellurides the second they hit the lot. There is almost no chance of getting a Telluride with brown interior from them. We will have to really search to find one.

I'm jealous. If we ever got the Telluride down here, I would buy it in a heartbeat (for the wife of course.) They look fantastic. I already have the Stinger so I can't complain I suppose.
What is the sticker price on a fully loaded Telluride?

My wife wanted the Ford Expedition and she said “There is no way I am buying a crappy Kia”. She finally watched a video of the Telluride and said “Just buy it”.

The Ford stickered at $75,775. The Kia Stickers at $49k fully loaded with a very low interest rate. They wanted to charge us 8% with an 800+ credit score for the more expensive Ford.

Honestly, the Telluride is a no Brainer if you can find one. The first dealer I called said they wanted a non refundable $5,000 deposit for their brown interior Telluride. I hung up after I heard that.

Can't believe the cost of the Ford. Would always buy a Kia over a Ford here in Australia.

gt2's probably go for 5-6k (10-15%) off MSRP at best, then you apply the 2 manufacturer rebates, and take low % financing from there. telluride, pay MSRP

Agreed! I think Ford has gotten a bit over their skis with their 2020 Explorer pricing. $60k for a Ford Explorer just does not make any sense to me...

Having just bought our Telluride, our dealer was able to get the exact one we wanted from another dealer out of state by trading for that one with a Telluride they had on hand. He was saying that outside of pure luck, it’s really the only way to get one from a local Kia dealer with the options you want instead of waiting 3+ months (we got it the next day).

We absolutely love the Telluride, which was a big reason why I started looking very closely at Stingers. I opted for a used GT2, but needed to drive a state away to pick that one up myself.

I ordered one today because we need some very specific specifications. He said it could be up to 10 weeks. However, that actually would be ideal for us since we will be getting out of our current cars then.

My dealer said they can’t combine the loyalty with competitive rebates. Does anyone know if that is true?

Has anyone got a $10k discount plus the zero percent financing on a Stinger?

Did your dealer say you could take advantage of the current deals that Kia has going, or did they say you would be relegated to take the deals that Kia has at the time of your delivery? For me, my dealer said I would have to take the deals that happened to be around at the time of delivery if I decided to order one and wait for it.

Yes, the price will be based on the deals when I take delivery. I don’t expect them to get worse. Car sales are not really strong right now.

They won’t combine the Loyalty and Competitive, it’s one or the other.

I bought a Telluride and Stinger at the same time. But an EX Telluride and Base Stinger (with options).

I was able to negotiate the price on both, but probably because I am in sales myself and know how to pull the right levers.

If I were you, I would concentrate on the price of the Stinger. Tell them you’re happy to pay MSRP on the Telluride (because they know they are going to get that anyway), but you want a deal on the GT2... hold your ground and demand the price you want (at least 10% off MSRP, but probably would be asking for 15% off at this time of year... MY20 are around the corner, and dealerships are likely looking to push the remaining MY19s they have left). You should end up with a great deal with buying two $50k vehicles at once.. but if not, tell them you’d be happy to go to another local dealer to see what they can do... they will stop you right there. Also, I would make sure you are negotiating with the sales manager AT LEAST. But if you can, ask to talk with the GM and negotiate with them.

Final Pro tip: if you really want to gamble, get there when they first open in the morning and during the last week of the month... spend all day, literally ALL DAY negotiating the price.. drag it out until the last 1-2 hours before they close... then once you’ve agreed on a price, and your in the finance managers office about the sign the paperwork... get up and tell them your getting cold feet. The GM will do just about anything at that point to make it happen (within reason).. that’s when you ask for all the options you can think of (remote starters, all weather mats, cargo nets, trunk liners, etc.)

Once they’ve gotten that far, and had their entire sales team working hard for 8 straight hours, they won’t want to let that $100k deal fall through.

Just keep in mind, when you’re buying two brand new cars at once, YOU have the leverage... and there are plenty of other dealers around that would love to sell two new cars in one deal. And don’t be afraid to remind them of that.

Hope you get a better deal than me
