Dealer Markup Kia Autosport of Pensacola - Pensacola, Florida

[Marcelo]

All GT1 and GT2 have markup of 4.000 USD.

Initially the salesperson told me the only way to have one is paying the markup. He told me if i didn't play, he will sell to another person and bla bla bla bla.

I told him, sell it. I don't pay more the MRSP.
I didn't like the way the treated me.

Maybe they don't realize they are selling a 50k car, it's a different customer.

Nonsense! I ordered mine last week at $1,000 UNDER MSRP.

my GT2 was 2000 below MSRP. And i know should be more.

Those guys became so greedy.

Good job! Mine included a generous trade-in allowance, so the numbers came out.

Is a very good deal, i just put my number to show how those guys are greedy in just one car.

I'm not american and seems weird the way the salesperson treat you. I don't think they are prepared to sell 40k~50k car.
I went to Cadillac(I was looking an ATS-V too), it's so different.

In my area (NY Tri-State) there are now 370 Stingers in all models and colors available, time is on your side. Having a dozen sitting on the lot es no bueno, they're gonna have to come off the ridiculous markups if they want to sell cars, and soon.

They seem to be most abundant on the coasts (NY, PA and CA, WA, OR) Very few in the MidWest, and a few on the showfloors that have been there a while. I haven't seen any on the roads so far. I find that rather strange, because in "fly-over" country, we have the best roads for driving a performance sedan as opposed to the moving parking lot driving in the big cities. If I lived there, I'd have a Prius or hire a driver. But salaries are much lower in this part of the country for similar jobs, so the relative sticker price here is a much larger percentage of income than on the coasts. I suspect our market is potentially smaller for $50,000 cars.

Well, you can get in a base model for $32,000, right? We also have those things called "ports", that surely helps.

Thank you for the information, @Marcelo! It's greatly appreciated...
