Kia Sedona Prices Paid and Buying Experience

• Wow, I can't touch anything like the prices quoted here

  Written by: grrldriver on Sep 15, 2011 8:38:42 AM

  For starters, every dealer was out of 2011 Kia's by June. The lowest I saw was ONE 2011 EX, advertised for $23K, list $30K (or something like that), yet people posting here seem to be getting TEN THOUSAND OFF sticker price. WTF? Furthermore, what I want is a clean used Kia. I was told they had the worst resale prices in the industry -- literally, the lowest. But USED Kias (and ... Read More

• You CAN buy a new van for $20K (approx)

  Written by: grrldriver on Sep 2, 2011 7:12:19 AM

  I have been offered brand new Kia Sedona LX vans for $19,999 (NE Ohio area). Also someone mentioned the Mazda 5, but that is not truly a van but a station wagon with sliding doors; it is VERY small if you are used to a regular minivan. The problem with the Sedona LX is that at the base level, they have stripped out everything that makes them nice -- no alloys, ... Read More

• Looking at New Kia Sedona 2011- should I wait till 2012

  Written by: aa0526 on Aug 31, 2010 10:40:30 AM

  I am looking at a new Kia Sedona 2011. The 2011 has a new 3.5 v6 instead of the 4.0. The new engine has better mileage - I think 18/25 vs 17/23 for the old. My issue though is the styling. The 2011 is a pretty much carryover from the 2010/2009. But with Hyundai and KIA revamping its entire product line, I am guessing that the 2012 would get a complete ... Read More

• 2009 Kia vs. Odyssey vs. Sienna

  Written by: sporttime on Sep 4, 2009 10:06:34 PM

  Thanks for the info. With the relatively slim difference in price between an Odyssey EX-L and a Sedona EX with comparable options, sounds like the Honda would be the better long term value, right? Is it true that shopping at the end of the year (from mid-Dec. on) is better in terms of less customers and better ability to get price breaks from salesmen needing to hit end of month and ...

• 2009 Sedona

  Written by: sporttime on Sep 4, 2009 12:12:44 AM

  I was offered $500-$1,000 below invoice + TTL on a new 2009 Odyssey EX-L; solid deal? I wanted to get the $1,250 factory to dealer rebate but unsure if they'd go lower. I might be able to do better with another dealer in the $30K range and then factor in the rebate and a possible trade-in? Still want to drive a Sienna and Sedona again. I like the looks of the ...

• Advice for a 2009 LX

  Written by: dudette3 on Aug 30, 2009 7:04:00 PM

  Hi! I am looking to possibly purchase tomorrow. I am wondering what others are paying for a new 2009 Kia Sedona LX, no additional options. The MSRP is 25040 including destination - I am a bit confused by this because the edmunds site lists MSRP as 22040 including destination. The salesman said the price would be around 22K +TTL, but may be able to get a good deal as they are ... Read More

  It was a new 2008. 20 miles on the car. Kia of Mt. Olive. I got the last 2008 Sedona. The 2010s should be arriving shortly, so I'd think there may be incentives for the 2009s soon.

  As far as Kia's go, according to my research compared to Honda and Toyota. Kia is basically the same van. In my area we have a lot of older Kia's. I agree that before the turn of the century Kia may not have been the way to go. BUT if you look at how long it took for Honda and Toyota to make a name compared to Kia, (getting ready to ...

  Isn't big screens in the back fantastic! Now let me ask you something... are you quoting your model or the current model? Correct me if I am wrong but don't you have an 06 from the previous design? Maybe I am wrong but I thought I remember you mentioning this. I hear ya on the lateral grip, and 0 - 60 times. But I can pass on that for saving over ... Read More

• 2009 vs 2008?

  Written by: bosmike on Apr 16, 2009 10:06:09 AM

  Dumb question here. Are 2009 Sedona's on the dealer lots? Everything I see online (including Kia.com) refers to 2008 Sedona as the current model. Reason I ask, I received some online quotes for an LX. I went into another dealership (one I didn't ask for a quote yet) to do a test drive on my lunch break. I mentioned I had some quotes already and when I told them the lowest ... Read More

  Amen to that brother! I can deal with (too many) minor problems with my 2006 Sedona because my Kia dealer's service dept. is up to date and well trained. We like our Sedona and we are lucky to get good service from the dealer.

  I have no clue about the lights...I would be thankful if they could just train the mechanics at the dealerships to fix the ones they have already sold! Many of us have not had much luck with that. Also, Consumer Reports new issue rates the Kia Sedona is one of the least ones they would recommend. Too many owner complaints. Not about the engine, but about all of the other things, ... Read More

• 2009 or future Sedona?

  Written by: dcibrando on Jan 5, 2009 11:14:44 AM

  I read where the 2009 Kia Sedona will have a navigation option... but do not see this for the Entourage? Is this true? Also, does anyone know if Kia (or Hyundai) will be updating their minivans in the future (interior, exterior, etc.). Would definitely like them to move from the greenish middle dash lights to the blue like in the other Hyundai's thanks!
