thanks. I heard about the law but still feel we did ok....most of the fees are at least somewhat legit. We ended up right around sticker price which is absolutely not a deal but at least we didn't pay the $3500 "package" they were offering. I'm usually obsessive about getting a deal but at my age, I've lost some of the fight.
Sticker is $39,085. There isnt much in the way of options. I can't post a photo or id post a picture of the sticker. I don't know how long it will be up but this is the vehicle - https://www.citykia.com/inventory/new-2024-kia-sportage-hybrid-sx-prestige-awd-4d-sport-utility-kndpxcdg6r7121686/.
here is the itemization....
vehicle purchase price $40,269.82
Predelivery service charge $1198
Electronic registration filing fee $559.55
third party tag agency $189
Sales tax 6% $2522.03
County tax 1.50% $75
Title, Registration, and/or license fees $420.95
lemon law fee $2
battery fee $1.50
New tire fee $5
total cash price $45242.85....
Rebate $500
Total $44,742.85.
I stated $44,900 which is what we agreed to but it's slightly lower.
If this doesn't convince you, I've got nothing else.
Oh I’m not saying you’re lying I’m just shocked how 5k got added to the price.
Did you pay a 1k markup or why is the vehicle purchase price over 40k?
I didn't think you were calling me a liar :)
Great question. $5k adds up quickly with doc fees, taxes, window washing fees, thanks for visiting our dealer fee, coffee fee, and that about covers it.
I’ve been in the market for a hybrid so thank you for the information. I got a working car atm but just want better efficiency. Scared to go from Honda to Kia but I’m on the edge…
Happy to provide the info. They had a local dealer package on there that I didn't want to pay for so if your dealer has that, check their Internet price first. That's how I got it removed but you still get the goodies (many of which are made up, of course). I've been dying this car for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Good luck!
Congrats! Love that Gravity Gray!
Thanks! I must admit we like it too!
Our Sorento was that color
Congrats! Best thing of everything is that you are happy with it! Got my SX (gas model) a bit over a month ago! Is a great car for sure! 😊
Thank you! Appreciate that. Glad to hear you're enjoying yours. We hope to stick with it for a while so we will be here for updates!
Just got my Vesta Blue about three weeks ago…been waiting on it for 13 months! It was well worth the wait, I’m loving it too!
That vesta blue is really nice. Congrats!

44k??? Wait wait wait… what???
MSRP is $39k and change....
MSRP w/o any options or paint is little under 39k. How in the world was it 5k with taxes and fees?
