Wonder if this applies to leases as well? Either way, dealer cash isn't something the customer sees directly, but could help with negotiating off of MSRP.
Heh maybe I could get a smoking deal on a late build 2019 and not have to fix my sunroof...but that's giving them another sale. Maybe not haha. And definitely not the other one on their lot they used to compare to mine which was also noisy.
Since this is only happening for 3 weeks I would guess they're desperately trying to clear out all of the 2019s on the lot to make way for the 2020s. I'm sure they don't want a repeat of last year when dealerships were swamped with 18s while taking delivery of 19s.
There's still a bunch of "new" 2018s sitting on dealer lots throughout the country. This should help to move them as well.
I think they are still making 2019s, I just bought my red GT2 two weeks ago and brought the car in for a remote starter and saw my exact car getting delivered to the sales lot. I guess I was impatient and should’ve waited longer even though I love mine
As far as leasing goes on these, the residual values and the money factor are prohibitive, unless you can get the dealer to come up with some BIG discounts!
Someone made the comment that "the dealership is KIA's biggest enemy." I agree. The car is awesome, but the dealerships and service departments are rough at best.
