What did you pay for your Kia Stinger?

[th3n4m31zd4n]

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.

You must've not be looked at the big picture with my transaction. The main thing with my deal is the current market & my trade. If I waited until my lease was up or until the market was normal, I wouldn't of had a crazy amount of positive equity on the trade. I probably would've had no equity at all in fact. The key is that the higher current market price for my particular trade way exceeded the higher current market price for the Stinger, respectively.

Had it been pre-shortage, obviously the 37k price would've been too high and theres no chance I would've considered even going to the dealership to begin with. At the same time, you couldn't get a highly optioned GT with 10k miles for 27k OTD, pre shortage (at least in my area). I looked at many Stingers pre-shortage and kept up with their value since I was considering one then. They were still not even close to that. Even if you could of found one for that price, I would've spent the same money regardless due to the fact that there would've been no positive equity on the trade.

That should clear it up. If you still consider that "getting robbed", then you will probably consider almost every post in this thread as getting robbed. To each their own though. As you said, your money is yours and mine is mine. Either way we both have a great car

Maybe I'm mistaken but I think he is looking at the big picture. OTD doesn't mean much if you're including the trade in value in it. How much would you have paid not including the trade in? That is how much you paid for the vehicle. For example if your car was worth $35k and you traded it in and still had to pay 27k you bought a vehicle for essentially $62k.

Hello! I have been reading this forum for a while now and decided to make an account. I purchased my 2019 ceramic grey Stinger GT2 with 21533 miles for 43k back in July of 2021. It is interesting to see how little these cars are depreciating. Granted with the used car markets being crazy its not much of a surprise. I saw a 2019 Stinger GTS being sold for 45k this December.

Welcome, wish I coulda bought a ceramic silver car. Best color hands down imo.

 

[therockfrog]

Flying across WA tomorrow to pick up my Ceramic Silver GT-Line. Debated on used GT2 or this and I'm old and more practical. Sun in forcast. 300 mile drive home...varying the speed and RPM's...my wife is going to hate that. Paid MSRP 43K with AWD and S&S.

Picked up my '22 GT-Line this past weekend. AWD, sun and sound package, fully loaded in Ascot Green. OTD price was $41,640 after a $500 discount the dealer gave us due to their original quoting error. Also got a $1,000 rebate on top of that which helped get our payments under $500/month. Overall really happy with the whole deal.

Nice, picking up the same on Saturday, flying into Chicago to get mine. Where did you get yours?

Central Indiana so not too far region-wise. Good luck on your purchase! It's an amazing vehicle.

I bought my 2018 Kia stinger gt last year (last year in 3 days) from ball auto Kia in dan Diego for 28k!!! only had 29k miles on the bad boy and it was certified! besides the wild insurance payments, everything worked out pretty well.

I'm guessing you live in the Seattle area and bought in Spokane / George Gee Kia? Were you happy with the sales experience?

 

[Stingyou]

The basic vehicle was 53k. Something called the "Value added package" was 3800, Then all the 3M, tire and rim warranty , and all the other lil BS charges made it 63k. Then they charged me 1850 to transport it. That is all before tax. I may have paid more than anyone ever.
I kept telling them to be transparent with the actual vehicle price, cuz they always try to make it about the payment. I was in the finance office before I actually saw the numbers. I had already driven it and fell in love, so...
Similar to some marriages. You are so in love that even though you know you probably shouldn't be doing it, you feel like you better just get it over with and enjoy it while it lasts
Either way, the day after you feel some regret, like a night at the pub when you were a kid and realize how much money you spent the night before!
2022 Kia Stinger GT Elite Thunder Grey with Red interior.
On the bright side, it seems they hold their value very well

 

[Tiberius183]

Used 2020 Stinger GT AWD, black leather interior, dark metallic silver color, 19.5k miles. Paid $40k. Is that fair?

I'm in Spokane and bought mine at George Gee.
I had a great experience. I went and looked at one in 2019 but ended up needing a new truck so I bought a Tundra Pro and then last year contacted the Sales manager Taylor during Covid last fall on a Sunday morning . They got one in I liked with low miles from lease return.
I was laying in bed having Mimosas with my wife and showed it to her. She told me to Text Taylor. Within 15 mins he called me back . I told him what I wanted to pay for it and I wanted it delivered. He said they officially open in 15 mins and he would call me back.
He called me in 20 and told me he'd have it at my house in 45 mins. Certified Pre Owned with 17.9k miles on it

Bing bang boom
Me happy , wife happy, everyone happy.

Small world. I used to get my Honda serviced at the Ball Honda dealership. I miss living in San Diego. Want to move back there someday.

2022 GT-Line in Snow White Pearl over black interior with the Sun/sound package and carpeted floor mats. Paid full invoice (about $42,400) plus $800 for Ziebart rust protection. Not including tax and reg fees.

Traded in my wife’s 2019 CRV EX with 42k miles for the Stinger. Bought the CRV new for 28k and got 26K on the trade with about 19k in equity. Put down a couple grand and we pay about $370 a month for the Stinger.

Bought our Telluride from the same dealer and paid full sticker on that. They were adding a $2000 market adjustment but waived it for us.

definitely is a small world! I live in the bay area. use to live at riverside. once I saw the Kia I bought in San Diego I had to drive down there and buy it lol! workers are super cool and friendly! when I bought my car I didn't know a car is supposed to come with two keys so I never mentioned it. 3 months later they call me up asking where they want my new spare key to be sent out the blue!! very pleased with ball autos prices and workers.

The place I bought my Stinger from last year called me up and asked if I was still interested in getting a Stinger. I told them that since I already bought one from them I'm not really interested.

Thanks for your take on George Gee... sounds like they took good care of you. I'm shopping from out-of-town, so the circumstances are totally different (there's not the same incentive to good service as with a local customer). If, in fact 'therockfrog' bought at George Gee, I hope he'll chime in with his experience.

Price?

 

[ShaPoopieZ]

Price?

33,500. If I remember right. It was listed at 34,500. I tried to get 32,500 but they said they couldn't. It's a 2018 GT Awd one owner lease return. I was originally looking at GT1 AWD for 40,000+. At the time I was pretty happy with the dealer taking anything Off what they were asking.
In Eastern Washington with Covid I hadn't seen anything in stock for 10 months under 42k.
