What did you pay for your Kia Stinger?

[Cameron_417]

I’ve loved it so far. Sorry someone ruined it with a pin stripe. If it makes you feel any better I’ve got 5 holes in my front bumper from dumbass dealerships putting on license plates.

The stuff dealers do sometimes I swear..........

I decided to lease my 2022 GT2 because there was a $5k lease incentive - so it knocked the price down to almost a GT1. I'm just glad they didn't try to sell it to me over MSRP - I hear that's what's going on at a lot of dealerships. The funny thing is, while I was there they took a look at my wife's 2021 Sorrento and offered her so much to trade it in (so much more than she owed) that they made a deal to take her car and put her in a brand new 2022 Telluride - same monthly payments and no out-of-pocket. The used car market is out of control. Even better story - they had a 2022 GT2 with 3k miles on it and were selling it for $3k over what a new one was because it was considered "used" - that's how messed up the used car market is right now.

I love our Indigo, got it new in June 2020.. the only thing dealer put on it was tint and their dealer sticker on the back which peeled right off.

I'm really glad I got my Stinger right before the chip shortage. I paid $35k with taxes and fees for my brand new 2020 GT. Not bad for a $43,000 sticker car at the time. I was just thrilled that I could still buy a fast car without all the extra crap on it. I was shopping the C43amg and the M340 but didn't like all their extra stuff.

See, I wanted all the "extra crap" as you call it. I had to stay under 40k though, so a new gt2/gt1 wasn't in the cards for me. The screen in the base gt is horrendous. And not having nav in a car that costs 36k (what I paid for my base 2020 awd gt new) is a joke. Glad I upgraded with the better screen and nav, which is fantastic. Only cost me 500 total plus sweat equity installing it myself.

So you basically paid MSRP?

They added some questionable "upgades". Invisible Vin and some kind of paint treatment for $1100, but then with the rebate a slight discount it ended up right about at MSRP. I did have to go 3000 miles to pick it up though. But that made for a nice trip home to get acquainted with her. I really love this car.

Well, in today's market, that could be considered a 'steal'. Where do you live & where did you buy (seriously, 3000 miles!)?

(Note: I think it's been mentioned before in this forum, 'what you paid for your Stinger' w/o the 'when & where' renders the info a lot less meaningful.)

I bought it from Executive Kia in Wallingford Connecticut. I live in San Diego. All the dealers in SoCal had "market adjustments" added to the sticker. Some will pay it. Not me. There is no car that I would overpay to get. I searched nationwide. City Kia in Orlando Florida quoted me $68730.87 including tax for the same car but in RWD. I told them no thanks.

There is an Import Dealer here in Eastern WA. That is bringing in 2022 GT2 from Canada.
They all have under 200 miles.
Not sure what that does to the warranty being from Canada
But they have all of them at 54,500

Here's the carfax for that car you linked... 'interesting' history to say the least...

 

[ShaPoopieZ]

Strange. I wonder what's the deal with all the other 2022 Kia's they have.

Sketchy... don't think I'd want to take title to that car! Carfax was from the listing on their website, so you can probably access the others there.

Last month I bought a 2018 Kia Stinger GT AWD with only 10,xxx miles for $37k. 1 owner. It also has a good amount of options like the advanced driver assistance package (Forward Collision Avoidance, Forward Collision Warning System, Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist System, Lane Departure Warning System, Driver Attention Warning, High Beam Assist, Blind Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Auto Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers) and a few other minor options.

I traded in a Challenger Scat Pack that I was leasing. I had about $12k positive equity in that. I rolled that $12k into the Stinger. After taxes, fees, etc. I was at $27k out the door. I know we're mainly talking about the purchasing price of the stinger without down payments, etc. on this thread, so I think $37k was a good price given the very low milage and many nice options, despite it being a 2018. The KBB/Truecar fair purchase price was like $38.5k at the time. Also with the used car shortage and crap, that took away some of my negotiation leverage. I've taken a look at the market near me a couple times since then, and it still seems just as good of a deal, if not better. I could've maybe got them down another $500, but I was already pleased by how much positive equity I had in the Challenger; I was expecting a bit less based on my research.

Nonetheless, I'm happy with 27k out the door for an 18 Stinger GT AWD with 10k miles for essentially nothing out of pocket.

How do you guys think I did (Keeping in mind what the car market is like these days)?

 

[ShaPoopieZ]

That

Here's the carfax for that car you linked... 'interesting' history to say the least...

Looks like the wrong CarfaX for that car. It calls out a Rear wheel drive , Color Gray.
This is a awd Ascot Green. .
All the other Carfax for the units they have appear correct.

Not that I'm looking to buy . Just was sharing.

I'd say ya did pretty well


I got my 2018 GT Awd 1 owner lease return certified KiA used with 17k miles. It doesn't have any of the extra driver aids but I really wasn't planning on them anyway.
They wanted 34,500 I got it out the door taxes and all for 33,500. With brand new pilot sport S's as well.
I hadn't seen any prices like that for the 2 years I was looking . Even the wife with was happy with that.

Glad to hear that from another stinger owner's perspective. Not to mention, the insurance is way less than my scat pack was.

Sounds like you did really well too. Definitely pays to do your research. I was looking through this thread and other threads, and some people are really paying what I'd consider crazy amounts.

Like I said, I paid that for a 2020 awd gt brand new. So imo, you got robbed. No way I'd be paying what you guys are paying for these cars in this market, 60k for a gt2??? . If I hadn't crashed my car I woulda been fine driving my Grand Prix until the market got back to "somewhat" normal.

At the end of the day, as long as you feel you got a good deal, that's basically all that matters cuz it's your cash, not mine.
