Been texting a dealer for months, finally got a new 2019 GT2 price down to $38,985

Used 2016 and 2017 GS Fs can be had with less than 20k mi for Gt1 money

Yep! Picking her up now. Panthera Metal GT2 with light interior. I thought only black and red interiors were available. My wife and I liked the light interior on the blue 2018’s. I told him I wish I could get the light interior still and was surprised when he said they had one in the exact color combo I wanted.

Wow!!!! That color option isn’t even online. What dealer? I’m in Austin, and would love to see your new baby

That is indeed a rare color combination. Can you post a photo of the window sticker? Would like to see what package did they have included to get that interior color. @Kgh31386

Congratulations

Dealt directly with the sales manager the whole time.

Kia South Austin. Dealt directly with the sales manager the whole time. When I first called them, I asked to speak with the sales manager, no sales guy involvement. He had been texting me the buyer's order and online numbers directly from his screen. Pretty easy dealing with them. The worst part was going through the finance guy and them trying to guilt or push me into buying all the extra protection crap. I told him,"dude you're supposed to tell me I bought a nice car...not that it's going to break tomorrow and you need $1600 in this or that protection to fix it." I'll shoot you a PM.

Hey, so i'm going through the process with the same dealership, but how long did it take you strike up the deal? They're making it seem like the deal is out of this world as it seem, but I'll will try to find other dealers that can price match your vehicle or the Ferguson location.

 

[Kgh31386]

I called him Wednesday evening and started texting back and forth. I provided him with the buyer's order information from the other dealer. Bought it 48 hours later on the last day of the month after 7pm.

Okay, thanks! Was it Derek you spoke with? He acknowledge that the deal did happen, but instead only offered me a GT1 for the exact same price. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah it was Derek. With it being the 1st week of the month, they may be holding out for a bit. The end of June may be good with it being the end of the month and end of the quarter for them.

Definitely agree. I purchased mine on Sat 30th June and the dealer I purchased my Stinger from came down a lot in the last 2 days of June.

 

[Kgh31386]

Keep in contact with Derek as you get the offers from other dealers.

My approach was bug the crap out of them instead

be respectful, contact a few dealerships. Be stern with your requirements in the deal but don't be a pest.

you will learn quickly which dealers want to play.

not all vin's are created equally. some have trunk cash, allowing certain cars to have better deals.

Forgive my ignorance but what is trunk cash and how is it unearthed?

Oh yes, definitely be respectful but firm. I bugged them but was definitely considerate.

 

[Cheenoh]

Thanks for all the tips and advice everyone! I will shop around, but still maintain contact with Derek and hopefully I can get a deal near the end of June.

Trunk cash is hidden money that is nowhere other than on some excel spreadsheet deep within the dealership. It's another level of rebate from the manufacturer to dealer.

Trunk cash is one of the reasons why my vehicle, 2018 GT2 AWD was $36.5K OTD. It's known as a unicorn. There are generally only a half dozen VIN's with trunk cash. So you either get super lucky, or you get super lucky.

Can I use my 33rd degree Mason pass to unlock these vintage #s?

 

[Dr_jitsu]

I am trying to see if they will replicate the deal. I don't qualify for the conquest incentive.

Is this different than a dealer hold back?

Yes, dealer holdback is different. They can usually dip into that, or give it all away.

OK - I just caught up on this thread and noticed your car has TAN LEATHER!!!! How the heck does that happen? Like someone mentioned earlier, it's not even a spec listed on their website. I would absolutely love to have the HiChroma red with tan interior. I would even pay full MSRP and special order one if necessary, but it's not even an option.

Oh, and congrats KGH! Beautiful color combo...
