What did you pay for your Kia Stinger?

[BIG-D]

Where are you living where a gt2 costs 70k? Never seen any Stinger costing that much. That's more than a Tribute, Scorpion, Grand Tourer or GTS.

That's base C8 Corvette money. You do you with your money but that sounds like you got bamboozled.

Australia !

It used to say that in our avatar profile !!

And why the f*ck would I want a C8 corvette ???

I have been a FORD guy all my life

 

[BIG-D]

Now we only have KIA's in the garage...

Ohhhhh, ok that explains it. You guys pay a lot for your cars. I mean, we do too cuz everything is overpriced nowadays but 70k, that's extreme.

I was a Pontiac guy my whole life now I own a Kia Stinger and a Ford Lightning. NEVER was a Corvette fan until the C8 came out. Now I want one. I'd be happy with a base 1LT.

Things change, that's how life goes.

There is no such thing as a GTII in Australia

There is only a GT. It is the top of the range 3.3L TT Stinger. That's it.

A Stinger in Australia is slightly cheaper than in the US when you take into account exchange rate.

As of today, October 1, 2024, 70,000 Australian dollars is equivalent to approximately 48,243.30 US dollars.

Blue 2019 GT AWD. It was a corporate executive car, owned by KIA. It had a little over 18k miles on it, and full 10 year warranty. I bought it March 2020 for just under $30k USD.

Same here. Drove my '89 5.0 since new until 2018 when I shopped the new Mustangs, but the Stinger prevailed.

Nice!

I'm about to hit 30k on my 2020 gt. So glad that it'll be paid off this year. Was planning on paying it off last year but I had to replace a roof that my insurance wouldn't cover due to "wear and tear" like it was a set of tires of something. God do I hate insurance companies.

Bought my 2021 GT1 AWD November 2024 in Pennsylvania, US for $29,500 with 30,000 miles. For some reason I am now the 4th owner. Car had some issues, but I have fixed them all and modified it to what you see below. Love it!

Love the micro blue. Wish to God I coulda found that color when I went to buy my Stinger brand new. All they had was white, black and pantera metal

Ceramic silver, micro blue were my top choices, followed by red.

FYI, I looked for a Stringer for almost a year before I found one. The whole time I was looking for red, but the blue caught my eye one day. Saw one for a great deal and when I went to the dealership on a whim. Say it sitting out front and I was like "oh yeah". I was a little hesitant about the color for a while after I bought it (instead of red). However, now, I can't imagine it in any other color.
