I have recently began a hunt for “my” next car (replacing my CC), and have decided that I want to try and hack a Stinger GT AWD, $43,000 MSRP.
It will be primarily for my brother, for his college commute. He is 19, and I want him to drive something nice, safe, that can merge well from ramps and pass without much effort. He thinks my CC is very underpowered, and I want him driving something he likes.
Any car inputs welcome. Open to other vehicles as well. Preferably 300+ hp.
So far, I have only been to 1 dealer physically. For a 36/15 lease, they started me out with $679 and got down to $576, saying this is the absolute best they can do. I am trying to stay at $430-450 maximum a month, with 1st month DAS. Here is the question.
The first dealer told me that the lease cash ($6400) cannot be combined with conquest ($3000). I was really surprised, since there is a separate finance rebate. Plus, why would it matter if I buy or lease? Conquest assumes owning another brand. Are they lying?
Any good strategy to talk to Kia dealers?
I showed them a few other dealers selling this car $31,000 (MSRP is $43,000), but was told that this is for buying only (yet, lease cash is $2400 more than for financing).
How much off % msrp is within reason before rebates?
If conquest cannot actually be done with lease, this was my idea. If conquest can be added, should be much easier for them to make this real.
On the Kia payment calculator, it seems like it is combinable. Kia dealers are atrocious and there isn’t really a strategy. They all suck (just some more than others).
Regardless of whether their calculator lets them stack, Kia financial won’t allow it. Read the fine print for the conquest rebate, it says “Offer not compatible with lease offers.”
$450 will be tough but possible if you find a Stinger that has been sitting on the lot for a long time. May need to contact a bunch of different Kia dealers.
Because certain rebates only apply specifically to a lease and some apply only to financing. VW is the same way (different set of incentives for lease vs. purchase).
I don’t Kia Stinger GT deals very closely, but I don’t think that’s realistic (esp at 15K).
The conquest cash isn’t combinable with the current lease cash. I’m in the same situation looking for a good Kia Stinger GT deal and have a dealer that is promising they can get me at $404/month after interest and tax, I’ll see when I go in the dealership to sign
Interesting! I have a friend who works at BMW. Best he was able to do on a loaner was $479 a month with 1st month DAS. I know I can do MSD’s, fees upfront, but do I really want to?
This is just a daily for my brother. He will use it for college commuting. I don’t think he needs a super expensive car for that purpose, yet I don’t want to get him a Corolla because he is going to hate me afterwards He is a young and attractive guy. He needs a girl magnet.
S60 T6 is hard to find. Most are 2020s.
I was really thinking Stinger GT, because it’s really flashy and stylish. Accelerates well.
I don’t want him having issues merging onto ramps and passing trucks on the freeway.
There are some great deals on ioniq EVs right now that would make for an amazing college commuter vehicle and he’ll be a chick magnet for all the girls that love some virtue signaling.
I promised him a $450/mo budget. At this point, I told him to find a car, and choose the one he likes. If he can find a Stinger for that price sure. Can’t, then oh well. He will have to settle for a IS300, or something similar. Not getting him a new A7. That will just do him a bad deed.
