Hi all, I have a 2018 Optima EX leased for $249 a month. Lease is up in November. I’m very interested in the K5, however my research so far reveals a very expensive endeavor. I wanted to start a discussion about the handover of the Optima line to the K5. I was excited about the AWD as well being in…

That certainly does look much better than I have seen. I am curious to know if this will hold true when you speak with the dealer. This is with the premium package, correct? Maybe see if you can get a window sticker from them.

@nym1 No premium package; just the Wolf Gray w/Red Interior, Carpeted Floor Mats and Wheel Locks. But it’s the first dealer that has gone down anywhere near that much off MSRP, so if I were to decide to wait for more inventory to get more options, I’d already have identified the dealer giving the …

Full disclosure for the mods, I work at a Kia dealer, leasehackr member since '18. MF and rebate are correct, but residual at least here in Ohio at 36/12 is 64%. They likely won’t discount the car that much and is probably a gimmick including the KMF finance incentive or plus destination etc. I r…

Hi @bigdaddydb , thanks for the info. Do you think that the discount on the remaining Optima SX supply will be negated by the high demand for limited volume?

Thanks so much for the info! Not all that surprisingly, the dealer didn’t give the breakdown I requested … instead, I got the “schedule an appt to come in and meet with our manager to go over pricing”. I am leery of any dealership that won’t give up-front pricing, and I really appreciate you takin…

Regarding the Optima SX, first you have to find one…then you have to find one that has the Summer Sticker. I believe as of yesterday the inventory finder on Kia.com is denoting the inventory that has the sticker (extra bonus cash). We are a high volume dealer in a competitive market so my mindset …

Recent numbers I’ve received are residual 58% for the GT-line and 310 MF on a 36/12(I think). That MSRP is $28,555, sales price is not much less. It sounds like it will be expensive regardless and it might be worth considering financing. I want to see what the AWD option brings.

Looks like I’m actually going to get a GREAT deal, thanks in large part to the info that bigdaddydb provided! GT Line w/Premium and Carpeted Floor Mats, MSPR $28,555 (so exact same as you’re pricing) coming down the $340s for 36/12 with $0 DAS, even including first month’s payment. On top of that,…

I see a 2019 optima sx around here, new. Looks like no longer factory incentives. How does dealer sell this if it’s more expensive than 2020?
