    ***OFFICIAL*** June ONLY KMF Program

    Thanks MurlinatoR! Looks like most programs are about the same. Slight changes, but nothing dramatic. I'm liking - again - only a one-month program! Here's to waiting for my "big move" months of August/September or October!...

    MAY ONLY Stinger programs

    I'm not that familiar with Kia's regional programs (or if they even have them at all?). It appears Kia only has monthly bi-monthly national finance and incentive programs?... At least of the KMF promotional sheets, that's all I've ever seen. I bring this up, because while the NE has finally...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Just want to give a big shout out to Matt! I was about to do the same Costco post when you beat me to the punch (great minds think alike - Ha!). Nice work Matt. Anyone can basically run with this process and then work the lease from there. Fantastic! NOTE: I also went to Costco for a...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Couldn't agree more with Matt. I would start on the internet, or call to find out who the internet sales person is (or fleet person) often the same salesman/woman. You have the invoice, so when I purchase (fall/winter) I will start with 3 or so dealers Interent folks via this process: Step 1...

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    I'll be a first-time Kia buyer due to the Stinger for sure. That said, saw a Ceramic Grey GT2 at a Lowe's over the weekend. A gal and her boyfriend/husband were walking towards the Stinger and sure enough it was theirs. She just purchased it. We talked and discovered it was the exact GT2 I test...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    I was just thinking the comments were about Kia not being a quality brand - stick with the Mazda brand then. But that's not what anyone was saying. Yes, so many family members, including me, own Mazda's and love them. That said, my vehicle history has been pony/sport wanna-be sedans, etc... Not...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    Ah, gotcha. Thanks! And yes, very much aware of JD Power's initial quality reports (IMHO Kia needs to do a much better job advertising that - letting it go to waste far too much. Their MARCOM group needs to know consumer massively value JD)... That said, I know my 2014 Mazda6 w/103k miles on it...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    Well, I drove the Stinger 2.0L Premium back in early December. I was pretty impressed by the pickup and that it didn't feel heavy and sloth-like, much like my previous 2006 Nissan Maxima (great engine, but that was about it!). It felt really solid and I thought that might be my next car... Then...

    Would the Kia Stinger see a second generation?

    Since I do not have permissions to start a new thread (pretty sure I had it before, now I don't... not sure why...), I'll throw in my news here: I was commenting on an auto site regarding the Stinger, and a few replies back and forth between me and another, and he said Kia is discussing killing...

    Around Halloween, eh?... Spooky!

    MAY ONLY Stinger programs

    Thanks for this information! Interesting, as the $2k Factory to Customer cash starts to tip my scales against a lease/buy-out solution right now. Sure, 2.9% vs .9%, but I take my 60mo loans and pay them off in 36-42 months, so being about about $500 in interest over 3 - 3.5 years, I can live...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Makes sense. If getting a version with Heads Up Display, I can only assume it can be changed to MPH from KPH... But the physical odometer wouldn't get very good... Warranty - that would be a big no-go. Thanks for the heads up (not display of course). ; ) ~Mark

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    Oh, and as for your second question: 2nd question, do these lease incentives "get better" the closer to the end of the 2month window? No. At least not so far. For the Stinger, KMF has provided a static two-month Leash and Cash + Finance incentive sheet. It doesn't change at all for two months...

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    No... Sorry to make it confusing. The dealer either gets a one-time $150 in cash from KMF by using the lower Money Factor, or they make about $250- $300 by using the higher Money Factor via the deal (and not getting $150 from KMF). Hope that helps. In other words, the .0004 is only going to add...

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    Look at the Lease Sheet. Notice the Reserve? The dealer can tack on .00040 to the Money Factor rate. .00208 is the current MF for a base GT RWD US Stinger. Throw in .00040 to that, and it's .00248. That is EXACTLY what they are offering you with the .00248. Now, they either get this money, or...

    How many people are waiting for the 2019 Kia Stinger due to missing features?

    I have heard nothing of the 2018 - 2019 model changeover time period. I would assume since it launched (stateside) somewhere around October (if my memory is correct?), it will likely be in the late fall time period once more... I am really interested to see what Kia does with the configurations...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    Located in Portland, OR, I'm thinking about actually purchasing in Canada (BC)! I may go to the Alberta provence as their taxes may actually be a bit lower... Why would I do this? BC has two taxes totally 12% on a new car purchase. The US has an import tax of 2.5%/3% but $800 credit back for...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    That's good to hear. In the heart of Beaverton, OR, where Nike and Intel, Adidas North American and Daimler Trucks North America are growing (some like weeds), there seems to be very little urgency with dealers willing to do much in pricing terms... Iowa. Must be a bit different!

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    I concur with Matt. I just shopped 3 dealers locally for a new Mazda CX-9 for my Mom & Dad. Seriously nice vehicle... The local guys must be selling too well. Dinking around $350 off sticker, etc... communicate from scratch emails, won't stay in the same thread. Forgot who I was. Just pathetic...

    Hello! Moving to New Zealand and Stinger is a strong contender

    It's a great drive between Rohan and Mordor.
