What discounts is everyone seeing so far?

What are SX sorentos going for at that lot? 63 is outrageous... no way a dealer will have that many tellurides, but hopefully they start to sit on lots in the coming months.

Yea crazy....Earnhardt Kia in Phoenix. Looks like 33ish for a FWD SX. Never see that many Tellurides but 25 or so would be about right. Saw a dealer in Florida with that many already.

SoCal loosening up a little? I'd take that deal now even though we all know things will be drastically different in 6-8 months. There is a dealer around hear (AZ) with 63 Sorentos on his lot. I hope no one is buying the Kia will restrict build numbers on the Telluride line a few dealers are pushing.....

Word is that Kia has already cut back Sorento production in favor of the telluride.

Not a big $$ difference and you get better looking car.

The conquest offer ($1000) is expiring today, as per kia website??

We just picked up an EX and got $750 off MSRP along with the $1,000 competitive rebate and $1,500 financing rebate (2.9% for 60mo).

 

[the4mula]

Hmm Interesting. I was told that you can only get the $1,500 rebate for financing with Kia Motors finance at non promotional rates. So they might have not told the truth. This looks like I could get 1.9% at 48 months and $1,500 off. Thanks for sharing this!!

I think the promotional rate is 0.9% for 48. You should get the $1,500 if you go with the 1.9% for 48mo.

And when you do the math, the net total by taking the $1500 and the higher rate is better thank no cash and lower rate. Excel has loan amortization tables that you can use to calculate.

could someone attach here that Excel loan amortization table, thanks!

@arckal Here is an online Auto Loan Amortization Calculator. Just enter in your loan figures and hit Calculate

Thanks, I have also got similar app but with more control and it also generates amortization:
Car Loan Amortization Calculator With Auto Amortization Schedules

But get this no matter which app you use they both clearly shows getting KIA finance with rebate is better option due to it reduce the loan amount and taxes so your monthly payment is what I believe should be smaller rather then total interest you paid. In this case I have tried both with and without KIA finance rebate and tried both interest rate 1.99 and 2.99 so I could see monthly payment was around $15 (in my numbers, yours may be different) lower when I opted for KIA rebate and did 2.99/60 months.

That was my finding as well. It should also be noted, depending on your state, manufacturer rebates are applied after state taxes. In the Republic of California, the state taxes the sell price (this is the negotiated price between you and the dealer). Afterwards, manufacturer rebates are applied. Others referenced on line calculators, I can still supply my XLS sheet, but will need to clean it up as it has customizations that are specific to my deal.

Looks like all incentives are gone from Kia website.... Guess will have to wait and see if with the launch of Hyundai Palisade and Ford Explorer if Kia launches anything again.

 

[mrmac]

It often takes a couple days for the website to update.

Worst case scenario not expecting any incentives at this time. Don't think Kia will take down the incentives and provide similar ones couple of days later. I may be wrong here.

The same scenario happened many times with the Stinger.

 

[Lisa & Bryan’s Telluride]

Be prepared, you're going to love it when you test drive it! But then again, if you don't I guess it will make things a lot easier, lol. The salesman I dealt with at the Kia dealership was very patient and not pushy at all, but I found that I knew more about the car than he did, which was a bit strange to me considering it's such a highly anticipated vehicle. This was my first time test driving a Kia but I was a bit amazed that he was a unsure of some of the basics. Other than that it was ok. Maybe because it was pouring rain and I was the only customer there so it was a pretty mellow experience. Please come back and tell me how you felt about the Pilot test-drive vs the Telluride.

I had the same experience at the dealer.I knew way more than the salesman

Like he said, just talked to my GM. Military, loyalty, and Conquest remained constant through April.
