07 LX I-4

Okay, we made a deal on a Rondo, finally. Very bad weather and an "abundant" family schedule held us up a bit, but we got it at last. Had to leave Louisville for a decent deal and any assortment in stock. Went to Car Town Kia in Nicholasville/Lexington, where they had an excellent but rapidly selling stock of '07s. '07 LX I4 2-row with "Convenience Package". Monroney sticker (MSRP) put it at usd $19,220. There was indeed a dealer "gross profit" add-on sticker of $899 for and "Appearance Package" and $499 for "AMA". Neither was explained and the "AMA" thing remains a total mystery. That whole sticker disappeared instantly when we told them it had to go. No argument from them at all. Rebates of $2500 on the '07, and $1500 "loyalty" for having a Kia already. We had our '05 Sedona LX with 34K miles in excellent shape for trade. We spent a couple hours with a drive and some bartering, ending up with $16,800 for the Rondo, including 6% KY sales tax, license and title fee (which is about $10 in KY). It made the price of the Rondo around $15,800 which was about $800 more than I would have liked. There are reasons we opted to settle though, not the least of which is they gave us $10,000 for our Sedona, and that exactly paid off our remaining loan on it. (We went in front-heavy on the Sedona.) I only expected $8000 for the Sedona. So our total deal, out the door, was $16,800 with no hassle to sell our Sedona ourselves. I seriously doubt, in this area, we would have gotten any more than $9000 for the Sedona in a private sale. Kias just aren't that hot around here except among "those who know", and the Louisville dealer(s) have made them very unpopular. EVERYONE around here knows about the continuing, nagging problems with '05 and earlier Sedonas. Yeah, I know, there are many of you who will say we could have done better or you did. We're pleased and that's enough. We got what we wanted in a new car. Car town was a hoot to do business with! The experience was almost fun, and at no time did we feel pushed or trapped. We bartered, both sides, fairly openly, and the Sales Manager was accessible. We made it plain up front we had no intentions of financing through the dealer or Kia since we already knew we were "pre-approved" through our credit union at a rate lower than we could get through them. Quite frankly, Car Town provided the best actual sales experience I've had in years form a dealer. Yes, they made money. No deal if they don't. If you're in the north/central KY area and in the mood for a Kia, I'd recommend Car Town. Oh, they do ALL the typical dealer tricks and strategy. Go prepared like you should with any dealer. I'll post some early impressions on the Rondo over on the "Kia Rondo" section. One interesting and humorous incident with the Rondo before we ever got it off the lot. This was not the same one we test drove. That one had an "appearance enhancement" on the left rear bumper wrap that consited of a BIG rub and deep scratches, with yellow paint included, so we took one of the two other one of identical equipment and color. (Around here, right now, an '07 LX I4 will be red or silver.) Well, for reasons we couldn't explain at first, the remote lock fobs wouldn't work at all, nor did the liftgate latch. Started it up and found no center console lights and no radio. Soooo...that indicating a fuse, we went to the inside fuse panel and were still mystified. I poked around the manual a bit and settled on that "Memory" fuse. It was pulled partly out, leaving the circuit open. The fuse is there just for that reason - to cut off the memory functions running full-time in these cars, to save the battery when the car is parked long term. With the recent cold weather/blizzards here, and these cars on the lot for three weeks, the lot guys pulled the fuses. No one told the sales people and since we closed our deal hours after the service guys left, no one knew. I pulled the fuse all the way and popped it back in, and all was well. Good thing I still know something about cars!
