My wife and I just recently got a new 2010 Forte Sedan SX in Spicy Red with all the options except for leather & homelink as it wasn't available on this vehicle. We really like the cloth interior anyway so we're not missing the leather option. As for the homelink, I really wanted that but it didnt' come standard however the dealer said they could order it & install it for $400 total. I thought that was a bit much so I'll wait on that.
We were debating on this SX or the EX in Dark Cherry (with similar options) which was our 1st color choice but the interior of the EX was far more mundane and lack luster compared to the SX. Plus we got the SX at a better price than we could have gotten the EX for so we're totally content. Anyway, here's the break down. We thought we got a great deal. What do you think?
MSRP: $19,890
Dealer Markup Price: $20,890 (not sure what the $1000 mark up is for)
Dealer Discount after haggling: $3,890
Dealer Price: $17,000
Kia Rebate: $1500
Price After Rebate: $15,500
Tax/Title/Reg in CA: $1900 (roughly)
Total Financed for 36mos @ 0.9%: $17,400
We could have gotten 0% financing but they said the price on the vehicle would be $500 more so we opted for the 0.9% as it'll save us roughly $250 over the 3 years.
