Proud new owner of a Kia Stinger

It was a difficult road where dealers played games and tricks and I even considered going for a different brand. Finally found a great dealership with reasonable fees and no 'added dealer markups'. They even sell their cars without adding a single item from the factory; sounds weird, but that is a breath of fresh air from all the 'nonsense' you typically see.

The car is gorgeous and is incredibly comfortable as well as fun to drive.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for educating me on the leasing / buying process.

Congrats! I assume you are doing the lease to buy? I got my car one month, one day ago and like you, ran into dealers trying to play games and send me bogus numbers. Glad you found a great dealership and ended up with the car you wanted. What sort of deal did you end up getting?

I was going for $2k off factory msrp (dealer discount) and then factory rebates. They honored it, as well as kept all other fees in line. The MF was a little bit higher than I would like, but i'm going for a lease buyout, so it was not a major concern.

I was never going for a lease, so keeping the cap cost down was priority.

Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT!! Have any pictures yet? What did your Stinger replace?

Welcome to the hive and congrats on your new Stinger! Lease buyout is definitely the way to go if can line up the cash or financing that doesn't detract too much from the lease savings. Please post pics of your new sexy beast when you can!

Good to hear, what State are you in?

Funny, no pictures yet. I was in an Optima SX-T, black as well. I'll get some done after I find a good spot!
