Thanks MurlinatorR, you were very clear - thank you. I never, ever, considered a lease until two weeks ago, I when I started figuring math with the Lease Cash, and if it made sense to lease/purchase same day? Alas, all the interest pretty much chews up the lease cash. Add it all up, and...

Thanks MurlinatoRR! That is one area that makes me hesitant on the 10yr/100k warranty, is the requirements. Must I buy the factory filter or just meet the specs outlined in the manual? And are the specs outlined in the manual or no? Gray areas scare me. Yes, it will make them happy but must I do...

That is dealer baloney. It's a program, not per vehicle pricing. It is (my best understanding): Invoice - $500. That is the Costco system. It isn't per-vehicle, sheesh... They just know they can get a LOT more than that right now and don't want to sell at the price. Personally, I would complain...

My understanding is Costco is - generally - $500 below invoice (however they get there. Rebates, etc... just get $500 below and that's all they need to do. Thus, purchasing as Stinger right now has a $750 rebate. Dealer could sell at Invoice and give you $500 off, keep $250 or give you all of...

Speaking of the Kia warranty, probably a topic for elsewhere in the blog, but while I'm here... I've heard if you change you own oil, and do you own maintenance, keep great records and record what levels of product you use - and make SURE they meet Kia's required standards or that warranty is...

Realities today are such that car differences, in many instances, are down to splitting hairs. Once upon a time, when the main choices in the automotive world were compact, mid-side or truck (with a few variants beyond of course), BMW, Audi and Mercedes were focused on luxury, power and...

That would be - possibly - correct. It's called Car & Audi for a reason you know. ; )

Interesting... You'll want to try and find out if the Costco program is $500 below invoice - on any vehicle, always... I say this because the dealer said the Costco program is only $250, but another said they got $500 off invoice via the Costco program. That's a big deal, because they also said...

Congrats! Nice work on the below invoice!

Congrats on the new Stinger BTW!

Uh, is this a dealer garage or?... Reminds me a warehouse by the docks where stolen car parts are swapped... No offense to the dealer, but I've never seen a dealer shop look quite like this.

When Han tells Chewy to "Punch it!" the whizzing of the stars and associated noise is light speed. That's a feature, not a problem. NOTE My Mazda 6 also has this. A host of cars do... It's a feature. Use it.

Wait, what?!... Sorry, hyped up on a bit too much caffeine last night.

Well, it could, which in all seriousness would not be good for people. Boy do people have issues with how to manage money, but I digress. This is the fun positive world of the Kia Stinger (silly me!). So, yah, it won't ruin my budget, it will just cause me to save for longer. We do not believe...

Exactly! I drove a 2.0L Premium back in early December and was throughly impressed. I decided I could spring for the Premium goodies. I just needed to save longer. Then, in early January I stopped by a dealer and talked with a really laid back sales guy. The manager came over, who was also very...

Ah, well if you have the Drive Wise Package, you nailed it. Congrats!!!

Agreed, but there is a pause I hope you didn't miss... ? Limited Slip Differential (most won't ever notice) ? Auto Dimming Side Mirrors ? High Beam Assist ? Heads Up Display (Okay, that is a massively cool feature - and you can change it's colors) Not seemingly a big, big deal, BUT there is...

I drive a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring. 97k miles (4yrs 2 mo old). Great car, far too much road noise. Thankfully, the Stinger is indeed quieter! It's not as quiet Buick or a Lexus ES350, but that is NOT what I'm looking for! I'm about 6-9 months out, and nothing was catching my eye, and Mazda is...

AutoByTel has the invoice pricing, but NOT for accessories like this link has. Fantastic! Thanks - and congrats!

I'm no lease guy, but have you considered using the Lease Cash as an option? For the GT1, it's $5,800... Get the dealer to knock off that $1,000 and that's $6,800 you are now playing with. What the "lease cash" (from Kia Financial) does is lower the MSRP. The GT1 MSRP is USD $43,250 - $1,000 +...
