It?s just sales tax and it sure looks like they took the 6.25% when I signed the lease. About $2,400 right there on the contract.

And yet I have a receipt from Texas saying taxes have already been paid. So why am I paying them again!?

HELP! So I bought out my lease and I went to the TX tax assessor to change the title and they are trying to charge me tax! Is that right? Didn?t I pay tax when I got the lease? I have a sales tax receipt showing $2,400 from TX DMV. I am very confused here!

Sounds too low. There will be a catch. Perhaps a lemon law car (branded) or a demo car, or an accident car, or certified used, or a mistake, or even a bait and switch. Let us know though we are all very curious because nobody here had gotten $9K off that?s for sure!

My first time in to a Kia dealer too. Likely won?t be back after my Stinger experience comes to a close :)

Good luck. Just remember to not tell them you want to lease until AFTER you negotiate the final sale price. They will try to act like they are giving you the cash back when they aren?t. That comes from KIA financial not the dealer. So I would recommend getting them to come off their price at...

Unless you put the $2,000 on a cash back credit card at the dealer because then you get the points!

That's a crazy story. I had similar pain in my purchase but ended up getting the deal i wanted. Be persistent and it'll happen. What a bunch of jerks. I am pretty sure that your ?first months payment? doesn't disappear. It still counts as a payment so there is less to pay (35 months...

That dealer sounds no fun. Pressure is never good for the soul. I would recommend making a road trip out of your experience and use a dealer that?s farther away but easier to work with to close the deal entirely over the phone and email.

Thanks Rob!

Murlin was a huge help guys. If you are able geographically, you won?t go wrong working with him. He was texting me back and forth as I went through the process. He encouraged me to take the contract home and look at it without the pressure. I should have done that but thankfully Ancira made...

Ok! Good news (and a little bad). Went to Ancira in San Antonio. Decent experience until the end. I will get to that. I got a Ceramic Silver GT2 AWD sticker $52,515 for $49,515 after some back and forth. I rounded: Texas tax of $2500 Registration fee of $260 Doc fee of $150...

Well, I am getting a message that COSTCO doesn't have any dealers in my area. San Antonio is a large city. No dealer here !?!?

Thanks Matt!!

Makes sense Went to World Car KIA in San Antonio today. They offered $500 off MSRP on the fully loaded AWD GT2. I am not impressed. I told them to email me if they changed their mind and walked out in a friendly but decisive manner. What next? That?s a pathetic discount.
