I've done it.

[crg]

Lease paperwork is all done, and the dealer has the order. Interestingly I was to negotiate a (slightly) better price through my local dealer than the lease company's tenders, so we have gone with that.

Gory details:
MY20 Stinger GT, Slinky Silver with red interior.
Accessories: rubber mats, and got tow pack and roof racks as "just in case" items, but I imagine mostly they will be left off unless needed. Leasing company threw in paint protection and tinting. Am getting the X-Force Varex exhaust fitted straight after taking delivery (got it packaged up as part of the lease).

So, hoping some time mid September I'll be cruising around happily in a new Stinger!

Super good! "Slinky" Silver. That must be a special "Limited" color variant!

Nice job mate. Congrats. Images and impressions to follow I'm sure. Be keen to "hear" your thoughts on the xforce. Enjoy soon, cheers

Yeah I see you're also interested in the X-Force. I'm slightly concerned about drone with exhaust mods as I've read comments about it, but from the videos I've seen it sounds nice either open or closed, and I'm coming from a diesel Carnival so I figure it can't be louder than that! My impression is that it is about the same volume closed as stock, but with a slightly nicer tone. We'll see if video translates to real life...

Well done, no excuses for not coming on the Sydney/NSW drive days. I'll put you down as a "yes". You'll be in the right demographic as the rest....."Old"....ish

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Just got a pile more paperwork to sign - thought it was a bit easy.

Just received word that ETA is early next week. Not sure if that is before or after accessory fitting.

Sigh. Delivery being held up by back-order of tow-bar. Might be taking it home without and getting it done later.

Picking up tomorrow at 4pm. Very excited! Taking in to exhaust guy on Saturday for the Varex.

Well done, If time permits see if you can drop into Bunnings Rydalmere carpark Friday 7.30pm > there should be a few Stingers there.

Towbar?
You do realise they have to cut into the back of your car to fit it.

Congrats on purchasing your Kia Stinger! The silver and red combo will look fantastic! If you are interested in checking out some cool aftermarket parts while you wait I suggest checking out our website www.k8stingerstore.com. We have a huge selection of aftermarket products to help make your Stinger unique. On a side note, Way to go on packaging the exhaust in there alongside the rest of the package. I wish I would have thought of that one!

The price of utility? Well yes I can see it if I lie down on the ground, but not from any usual angle. At least they didn't have to disassemble the dash to fit an exhaust system (which in my case is getting fitted on Monday).

Heading out west this weekend for an impromptu drive in the country to test it out. I'll try to get some pics to post on the "Where did you go..." thread.
