Newb!

Just as I was about to pull the trigger on a GT2 AWD I found out more info on the 2019... The changes are minor but they appear to ones that were already present outside the US for 2018. WTH Kia. I'm probably going to be waiting now. It may seem petty, but if I'm going to buy a loaded vehicle it should actually be loaded...! Specifically the surround monitor, wireless charging and a black interior in a black car...
Dealer, of course, is trying to be aggressive on the '18 pricing.

Gt1 also has a lot of the gt2 options, like ventilated seats.

18 GT2 and 19 GT1 will be similar in features... but yeah, the 19 has the 360 cameras which is neat. You'll get a far better deal on the 18 GT2 AWD.. some are going for as little as 39K

I found 4 red gt2 for 40, 1 for 39. Now if the damn back would call me back I can plan a road trip for this weekend

 

[DiabloStinger]

Those are great deals.

What's the break down on those prices? Sounds like the lease rebate before taxes and fees?

Dealer 1 "Price includes: $400 - Military Program. Exp. 10/31/2018, $3,000 - Competitive Bonus Program"

Dealer 2 "$5000 off MSRP, All rebates applied advertised pricing is on in-stock units only and includes all applicable dealer discounts, manufacturer discounts, and incentives. Price excludes dealer fee of $899, tax, tag, title, and electronic filing fee; as well as, dealer installed options which is the $1,895 Vehicle Protection Plan (includes: Lifetime Window Tint, Lifetime Car Washes, Nitrogen Filled Tires, Custom Pinstriping and Door Edge Guards)"

These are both gt2 for $40k. That 2k dealer option could be negotiated off.

That sounds about right, dealer is taking off 10% from the MSRP and loading on 5k worth of rebates. After tax, title, and fees it's going to be around 43k, if you finance the entire thing with their 2.9% rate it'll push it to around 45-46k.

If you go with dealer 2 you gotta tell them to take that pinstripe off, man they look bad on these cars! At least IMO.

Yeah, I thought so which is why I'm waiting it out. Last offer I got 2 weeks ago was MSRP ($52580) + misc BS to price at $55,275. Then $5000 discount, $3400 rebate to get to $46875. Tax, title, tags, fees brought it to $51936. I walked. They still have 3 black GT2 AWD on the lot, been there for a long time, each with 200+ miles on the ODO due to test drives, etc. The Kia offers seem to be better in Oct than Sep, so I may go back. I have multiple vehicles so I'm in no rush.

 

[RUFFSTUFF]

I should go back and demand no BS add-on price, a dealer discount, Kia competitive discount, Kia loyalty discount, and $1000 cash discount. Oh yeah, and Military discount. Make that the starting point...

 

[Audible Silence]

Funny cuz I don't see any stripes or door guards in the pic. They probably add it when prepping the car if nobdy says anything during nagotiations

The loyalty and competitive don't stack afaik. It's either one or the other

 

[RUFFSTUFF]

Whenever I see the add-on craptastic sticker I ask about it and usually the first 2 replies are nitrogen in the tires and pinstripes... To date none of the cars have had pinstripes and plain Florida air is 80% nitrogen so...

 

[Audible Silence]

I'm in to too, palm beach area

I'm sure you're right but I looked into it and it's not that clear. The competitive offer says you can't stack Specialty Incentives and the Owner Loyalty Bonus says you can't stack Owner Loyalty incentives. Both say they can be combined with Low APR or Cash offers.
Either way, the worst they can say is no.
