Well, it may depend where you live. Winter sales for this kind of a vehicle are likely to be slow. I am in the general Portland/Metro area, have seen several, and was recently driving behind a silver on on the HWY! A fleet of Stingers, watch out!!! ; ) Secondly, Stinger sales should pick up...

Congrats!!! Which model did you get? My first thought was "So let me get this straight. Government covers our important needs, so we can spend money on toys... we are so screwed." Ha! Oh the world in which we live. Again, congrats! Just my cynical thinking kicking on in. NOTE: Just drove...

I once told myself I've never spend over $30k on a car - ever. Well, that was 20 years ago, and one cannot stick with the same class of car as costs just keep moving north, and regulations/requirements in cars keep going north. I owned a Mazda6 (2014) previously. GREAT sedan, highly recommend...

Congrats Tim! I am an Oregonian, and picked up a White GT w/AWD and DriveWise (safety tech pkg) + dealer tinted windows and XPEL-like protection on hood and door areas for $34,212 in Colorado. Was quite the road trip home (a blast really!). Our Democrats in the Legislator introduced our...

Contgrats Tim! Looks like a GT, AWD w/18's, correct? Mine is a GT (white), AWD, w/DriveWise (safety) package, 18's, and Red on Black interior. I'm bummed about the PacNW and other locations being "forced" to purchase 18's rims with All Season tires. Really think the 19's look better (IMO). Some...

Interesting.... Here is what I have and it should be good thru the end of October:

"Everyone is tracking us all the time, it's the world we live in. I wouldn't worry about [it]." Well, I'm not so sure I'd worry per se about the car. Dearlerships have neither the time, care, or resources to be tracking people. If your car gets stolen, it could be helpful for hunting it down...

My understanding is that every modern car has GPS built-in regardless of whether you the consumer have access to it or not. Law enforcement can turn it on to track the car down... This is so bogus and a clear violation of the 4th amendment right to privacy I don't know where to start. But there...

Hello Gmrz, Lots of spots in these threads here on how to calculate the math. Check it out. In short, I'd start with invoice, which on a GT2 is$48,213. Add in the lease cash, which is $7,700 for a good credit worthy soul like yourself I'm sure ; ) That mean you should be starting with a...

Wow, that is out of my league. Someone from Texas in the know help out yumdump! What portion of the lease did you pay your $2,400 tax on? Was that your license and reg and NOT the sales tax? Or was it a sales tax just on the lease amount, and not the residual?... Hmmm...

Wow, I would have loved to have found a GT AWD w/ADAS with 19's... Alas, I'm in Portland, OR and there was nothing up here. CA? Nope, 95% RWD only. I picked mine up in Denver and still it had the 18's... Ugh. Did they change that for the 2019 model year? I doubt it. But I am glad I got the...

Okay, so learning time for both of us (I hope!). Mine is also an AWD, but I'm guessing you do NOT have the DriveWise package, correct? Every AWD GT I have ever seen, I discovered that KIA Marketing (in their infinite wisdom) decided go All Season Bridgestone's and 18" rims if and when the GT has...

"Tire pressure is just cool man..." Sorry, I live in a state that smokes pot, so some of that must be floating my direction... Not to digress too much, but yes, DUI's have more than doubled in the sate since it became legal. Okay, back to tire pressure. I've never had a car that has EQUAL...

Indeed. I went from Denver to Portland, and the pressure, once in portland was down quite a bit. I'm shocked by the 36/39psi for AWD front vs rear pressure. interesting...

Depends on the model. I got a GT w/AWD, and got $6k off from KIA, and then another $3,500+ from the dealer. So made more sense to finance. Until the conquest cash arrived, I would have leased and bought out. But with another $3k on the table, it didn't pencil, so the flat out purchasing made it...
