Hi, I just registered with the forum in anticipation of my purchase (tomorrow if I decide to accept the deal).
I wanted to get a few opinions as to whether I am getting a good deal in relation to what others may have paid. I am trading in my 2007 VW GTI 2dr hatchback 2.0T with a 6-speed MT. I purchased it used and I also rolled a little negative equity from my GSXR into the loan. I owe about $16442 on the GTI and they are willing to give me $13k for it (this is the highest I have found at any dealerships). This leaves me with about $3500 in negative equity to roll onto the top of the OTD cost of the Forte. - I guess I should mention it's a 2011 Kia Forte 5dr (or 4dr hatchback) SX with a 6-speed MT and a sunroof - I have negotiated them down from ~$23900 OTD to ~$22500 OTD (They told me this price includes the fee they will incur having my car shipped from either KIA directly, or from another dealer; destination fee?)
Taking into account my negative, does this seem like a deal I should take? On a side note, I am fully capable of making good decisions, but it always good to get an outside opinion. Where better to go than people who actually own the car I am looking at?!
Thanks for any response(s).
