Is this a reasonable deal on a 2018 new GT1 (OMG the car is absolutely gorgeous in the white color with black leather!!)

2018 GT1 - Loaded!
sticker is 48200

invoice is 45400

sales manager knocked off another 500 from that bringing to 44900

then another 3000 off for GT1 bought this month

Final number is 41900 and he will also seal the paint.

OTD including everything (Dmv, Taxes, plates etc) = 45,330.

Thank you so much in advance for any feedback it is greatly appreciated!!!

Is that factoring in this current finance offer?
Manufacturer to Consumer
KIA Motors Finance Bonus Cash
$2,500 Cash to Customer

OR

Bonus Cash
$1,000 Cash to Customer

$500 below before rebates on a 2018 is not a good deal. I'd ask for at least another $1500 off

I agree with Johnny, $500 below invoice is a terrible deal. You can get that any time of the year. Try cross-shopping with another dealer to see if they'll offer steeper end of year discounts.

Yeah that's not good specially since there have been reports of people buying GT2s RWD for 38k OTD on a lease.

Just got back from dealer, dropped OTD price by 500 bringing it to 1000 below invoice plus the 3000 owner loyalty rebate for the 2018 GT1 ( he says there are NO rebates of any kind for the 2019 GT1)

this is his bottom price. a 2019 GT1 in ceramic silver is 4800 more OTD at 49,743.

Thanks again for the help guys I'm all ears

Tell another dealer to beat that price [wink]. Then call back to the first dealer and tell him you got a better deal and see if he'll beat it.

If this could be of any help. I had two offers from local dealers recently, about a week or so apart.

Dealer 1. Car is a blue '18 GT2 AWD with an MSRP of $52.6k. Price is $40.5k + TTL
Dealer 2. Car is a black '18 GT1 RWD with an MSRP of $46.6k. Price is $36k + TTL

In both cases, the discount hovers around 23% of the respective MSRP. The offer from Dealer 2 was received earlier today.

Wow!
I emailed 2 other dealers in the area with 2018 GT1's offering to buy with 2k below invoice plus the 3k owner loyalty discount for the MY18 Gt1 (putting both around 40.5k before TTL) and heard nothing from either of them! These are 49k cars MSRP
I see you are located in OH, can there be that much of a difference in pricing compared to CT? OR do you just rock as a negotiator and I well Don't!!

dealer dropped more off this morning and found me another 2500 KMF rebate in addition to the 3000 rebate earlier.
I am now at 41,990 OTD including all taxes, DMV fees etc.

Getting very happy now! [:)]

Don't do this. ^^^

It's a really crappy thing to do to a sales person that you want to treat you with respect and help you after the sale. It's things like this that contribute to dealerships treating customers poorly.

Sell you mine for $40,00 only 44,000 mi on it. JB4 tuned, Borla exhaust, air intake, ( maintenance free) oil catch can, cover under the engine top corners so the jb4 doesn’t get wet, upgraded Navi maps and software. Get a loan and a bank check and it’s yours.
