What would your initial offer be for this car?

Just wondering where I should start. I qualify for $2000 conquest cash as well.

The MSRP is about $750 higher than it should be. The $2k worth of crap they added on is worth only a few hundred dollars and I wouldn't even consider it part of the deal.

If this were Jan-March 2018 I'd pay $50k. Today I'd start at $46k, and wouldn't pay a dime over $48.5k.

I agree that the items over and above MSRP are total crap and a sheer profit grab. Delete this fantasy asking sticker-- you didn't ask for any of that stuff. Actual Kia mats aren't that expensive either. $46-48K is in play. The dealer will try every way to get back some of the lost dollars from deleting the extra sticker. Watch your buyer's invoice for additional dealer prep, BS, and doc prep fees. Good Luck!

To be honest, if a dealer has tint and wax on their cars at that price, I would just find another dealership. I feel like you have to start the deal by discussing their scam of add-ons and it just seems like it would be a hassle.

QFT.

I assume the tint and paint protection would be removed. I won't pay that. I started with this dealer just because they are closest and this is exactly the car I want. I'm not afraid to walk. I appreciate the replies.

I would probably run away after seeing the dealer increased the price with all the crap they put.

I agree with the others saying that I wouldn't waste my time with a dealer that adds tons of upcharged options to a car they're selling.

My advice would be to find the car you like in your local area (your city or nearby cities) and get the dealer's lowest price (dealer discount BEFORE incentives). Aim for $5k off MSRP. Usually the highest volume dealers will be more likely to hit the $5k mark, so find out which dealers those are.

If no dealers in your local area are willing to do the deal, widen your search to the highest volume dealers in your state. Then the bordering states. You will eventually find a dealer that will do the deal for $5k off MSRP. Then you can choose to either use financing cash back incentives or lease cash incentives (with buyout). Probably the best way to do it for a current model year. For previous model years, you can probably get more than $5k off MSRP.

Very good info, thank you.
