Dealer Markup

[Lefty]

I am thinking of ordering with Hendricks from out of state - you think all went well? No last minute mark-ups or surprises?

I'm kindofvrethinking my endorsement. The saleswoman is quick with an attitude. She often ignores emails until I call the GM. I assume she thinks I don't have the balls to contact GM. Last time she ignored important emails until I told her I was contacting GM. The important emails were in regards to her lease rates being fubar. Off by $50 month. When I proved her rates were off she just said it was an accounting error in residual value for a lease. I honestly do believe it was a mistake. Now she is ignoring emails on a warranty issue. There is a salesperson there named Mitch who wasn't even my sales person that has been more helpful than she has. If your looking to get wined & dined, Hendricks isn't the place. If you can put up with their bullsh-t, you can save some money.

Yup. Purchased last summer at msrp. "Mr. Hendrick never sells his vehicles over msrp" I was told. At the time they refused to provide KIA financing rates and there weren't any services or packages I was forced to buy, so it was at msrp plus dealer fee. Due to my experience with the SM and finance guy however, I refinanced a week later. Got the right price, experience was just terrible tho.

All the dealers in the SF Bay Area and LA Area are charging anywhere between $2k - $6k mark up above the MSRP. I called a dealer in Houston, TX and they are not doing that. CA is the only state that it is charging extra for this car. I guess is the law of supply and demand.

AZ dealers are charging up to $10K!

Bumping this thread - originally they thought it was a sensor issue but it was misdiagnosed once I brought the vehicle back for a 2nd round at the dealership. Been driving a loaner almost 2.5 weeks...

Parts come in tomorrow and will be replaced same day at KIA's dime.
