Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

[Bharat]

Thanks for the reply.
Yes it's a top of the line GT. MY 19, Aurora Black, with the Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
The GST has to be added on to the total price.

Drive away price including GST is currently about 66K depending on your location. They’re offering you a deal of $ 64 625 GST inclusive. So they’re knocking off about a grand plus throwing in the tint, dashcams and mats. It depends on what value you place on these add ons. I wouldn’t say they’re offering you a bad deal but some people have done better and quite recently. I think someone recently paid about 61-62 and got the bi-modal exhaust thrown in? I’d be checking the quality of the dash cam and the tint also. Keep screwing them down, they don’t want to see you walk out the door.

I agree, ask for paint & leather protection & bi-modal exhaust see how you go may score one of these, also FYI Stinger is now standard with Michelin tyres since June/July 18.

Is anybody happy with the Nav on the Stinger that it does not drop of letters as you type and if you don't know how to spell the rd or suburb correctly it won't give you suggestions similar the Nav in daughters 4 year old ceratto is heaps better

Agreed its sh#t it doesn't have preemptive text really annoying. My garmin's sh#ts all over it. I can't seem to find addresses I know are there.

 

[pdmit]

Yes 60k plus car and the Kia Rio has a better Nav system go figure

 

[Taffy]

Yep, couldn’t agree more with the nav setup, it’s awful. I wonder if they will bring a software update for it at some point?

 

[Flameangel]

Great, so when I go from my 6 yr old Optima which was the top spec at that time and has a crappy nav system , I will be trading it in for another crappy nav system. I was so hoping the Stinger would have a good one.It costs over $200 to get it updated during a service too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re in the middle of an important discussion about nav systems here if you don’t mind.

Of course I’m kidding, that’s great news mate.

I wonder why they are free in the Stinger and you have to pay over $200 in other models ?

Not sure, but I was told by my dealer they are free & I’ve already had one update with no charge. When you do your deal nut this out in your negotiations & get it in writing that way there is no conflict to what the Sales Dept. tell you that may differ in the Service Dept.

Wow, I 'm going in with a long list of wants and a contract for them to sign My purchase date could be getting closer, hubby said I could get one after his bike trip with his mates to Tassie. That's next month.

Woowho, lets get that list started, strike out what you don’t want:

1. 2019 Build.
2. Free Map Updates...for life.
3. Bi-Modal Exhaust.
4. GT Floor Mats & Rear Hatch Stinger Mat.
5. Mud Flaps.
6. Front E Badge, E Wheel Centres & Rear Stinger Script.
7. Ceramic Coat Paint Protection & Leather Protection.
8. Darkest Legal Window Tint.
9. Driveaway with the above for $58K less Trade...worth a shot to see if they bite

Now that's good news to. Boy this thread has got a real cheery feel to it tonight.

Bike trip sounds like that movie with John Travolta Road hogs or something.

That is exactly what I want, you read my mind, I'll print off this list and see what happens. Maybe I should walk in in tight jeans, high heels and showing a bit of cleavage , think it will work ?
