No Dealer Markup Great Experience at Luther Kia - Bloomington, Minnesota

[Sarge2070]

I initially stopped into another dealership called LUPIENT KIA of Brooklyn Park MN on 02/09/2018 to see a GT2 in person after all the positive online reviews about the Stinger. The sales guy Andrew at LUPIENT tried to back end the deal and rose the price on the car by about 5K.

I walked out immediately and drove 20 minutes south to LUTHER KIA of Bloomington MN. The dealship was neat clean and well organized. The sales staff was professional and responsive. They had a large number of every variation of the Stinger and lead with their first, only and best price of $52,000 plus tax and license which is the TRUECAR fair market price in this area of Minnesota. We drove out with a SPOTLESS CLEAN new GT2 in under two hours from when we walked in the door. Night and day difference.

Thank you for the review and congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! What did your Stinger replace?

A 2017 Accord EX-L V6. Was also a nice car with decent pickup (mid 5's 0-60) but definitely was not swimming in the same pond as the Stinger style or performance wise.

That's a nice vehicle! I have a 2016 Touring V6. I kinda love it - but you're right - it doesn't drive anything like the Stinger. Totally different car. But I do really like the way the Accord looks. The new one - not really as much - but it's growing on me (I guess)... So you came out of one practically brand new car to get in another. That's like the story of my life - but I swore I'd keep THIS new car at least until I wasn't upside-down on the payments. I'm not sure if I'm going to hold out much longer once the 2019 Stinger hits showrooms...
