    Lease rates for March 2018

    That's a more winning proposition if you're ok with the higher cost for financing. At least you aren't taking the hit on residuals!

    Lease rates for March 2018

    Well that just means I'll go to the bank, cut a 20K cheque + tax, pay Kia, and sell it myself and make a good 5-6K. ;)

    Lease rates for March 2018

    Looks like this month's interest rates have finally started to come down a little. The 48 month lease has been my target. With 1% less, there is about a 46$ drop. That's still 884$ per month with zero down on 24K annual KM, which is a lot when compared to luxury marques' offers at much higher...

    Anyone noticed the Kia Stinger cost much less in Canada than in the US?

    That said, even with a big differential in price, nothing can offset the awful lease rates we are getting and their residual for the car.

    From the quick glance I took it seemed that the trade deal benefited the US more for sales in Korea than contributing to lower duty domestically. Which makes sense because the big 3 would never allow it.

    Anyone noticed the Kia Stinger cost much less in Canada than in the US?

    I could only find this for now that seemed to indicate some discounts, however it is on the low side for sure http://openroadautogroup.com/blog/hyundai-vehicles-now-cheaper-thanks-canada-korea-free-trade-agreement It could be a mix of this and what someone here suggested about deeper market...

    Anyone noticed the Kia Stinger cost much less in Canada than in the US?

    Hey, sorry to dig up this thread. My friend gave me a plausible reason: Canada has a trade deal with South Korea while the USA doesn't, which is why we get par pricing. It seems to also be the case with VW, which explains how lately their cars seem to price awfully close to USD number-to-number...
