I am curious what most people are paying for their Koups. Did you pay Sticker, more, or less? I stopped and looked at one on my local dealer's lot and they actually had the price marked up $1,400 do to "market adjustments." Given the current economy, that definitely took me by surprise. Just curious what kind of deals everyone is getting. I didnt notice if the koup was an sx or not.
Got to edmunds.com and do a True Market Value Survey for your area. I paid 200.00 lower than the TMV for my area. I also made them take off the Dealer added crap b/c it was waaaaaaayy overpriced.
thanks..MSRP is 20,300 and 19600 is the TMV for my area. that dealer wanted 21,XXX and I am not sure it was even loaded with options...what crooks lol.
Has anyone purchased an SX Koup around the Dallas/Ft Worth area and could recommend a good dealer? I just moved here about six months ago and I'm not familiar with any of the dealers. Thanks in advance!
Hammer your dealership for at least $500 off sticker before you even get going. They'll do it, at least they did for me. I got mine right when they came out, ended up waiting close to 3 months for my colour to come so be prepared for a bit of a wait if you are picky with colour
If anyone is a COSTCO member, they have a auto buying program. Online you can pick out the car you want (make and model) and they will refer you to a dealer. You are suppose to get and pay the invoice price. I paid $195 (USD) over invoice according to my calculations. Still a great deal, and would never have gotten that price on my own. Add ons such as remote start and alarm I got at cost.

Weasel, was there any promotion impacting the price when you made your purchase?? Looking from the KIA website, with taxes and everything it comes to 27500~.
yeah! that's what i am saying!. whyklef is right. it's 27,500 (canadian Dollars) including freight and taxes. so i was wondering how did you got you'rs for a less 4,000 dollars
Ok so I bought my Forte Koup today... Won't be having it before a month and a half... minimum that is!
I pretty much paid the retail price + 7 per month and I got:
Koup SX Black
Key Starter
Sherlock Protection
Winter Tires + Winter Rims
I personally feels like I could've got more but I really had a great buying experience and being a salesman myself, I appreciated the professionalism of my salesman which was a thousand years more efficient then the first salesman I saw that tried to hustle me in charging me higher then retail.
