Dealer Markup Kia West Edmonton - Alberta, Canada

[breid5921]

I may buy from this dealership but not sure yet as they have alot of inventory coming in. But Kia Edmonton west in Alberta Canada was very good rather then one tidbit, I was shown a light gray Stinger GT premium. (I forgot the colour name) but it was sold in the showroom and we spent at least a hour going around the car, salesmen was very helpful and took the time to show us everything and even let us start it up in the showroom. But I asked how much it was and he said "im pretty sure this one was $56.000 without taxes" i looked on the website and it was listed at $51 and change, so I'm not sure if it was marked up and they will try to mark up future inventory or the salesmen messed up, hopefully the latter. But that's my experience so far.

Let me know! I was looking out at Kia Sherwood park. Maybe we can have them go head to head on a group buy

I was pretty happy with my experience at Go Auto South Edmonton. They are the other premium Kia dealership in the city.

Sure! If your going to buy one AND i am going to buy one-we buy at the same time to give a dealership an opportunity to sell two stingers- for the best price of course.

I went there too and they had a identical stinger. I wanted to take it on a test drive but they wouldn't let me as they "want to keep the kms low for the buyer" since they only had one. But luckily when I do shop there is 3 Kia dealers in Edmonton thay have stinger inventory.

That buyer was me haha. They've only had one stinger physically in their dealership to sell.

You could probably buy anywhere, but I would service your vehicle at the premium dealership. Non-premium dealerships aren't certified to service the stingers and K900s (I'm told). Also, if you are doing a special order, the premium dealership will get priority for its orders over the non-premium dealership.

Oh you bought thay eh. I promise I didn't mess with any settings haha. But yeah i mentioned the car I wanted and they said oh you'd probably have to do a factory order which makes me believe they won't get much inventory. But Kia Edmonton west told me they are getting at least 6 In the next 3 months. They have two regular GTs in stock as we speak but not sure if I want the lesser model. I never knew about the premium dealers.

I have preordered the white one from Sherwood Kia.. so if I don’t take it it will available.. I’m torn between the stinger and G70.. but if my weed stocks don’t come back I may have drop both.!, lol just kidding I’m buying one of them .. lol

I'll be having the car for years lol. I think donuts will come next year. Did that dealer try to mark anything up?

 

[Thebiggouda]

I want to be able to physically look at the black and red, and compare to the dark grey and red. Are you thinking of placing the order in April, or buying from dealer stock (if there is any?)

Depends, I'm unfamiliar with ordering from the factory and don't know if there is an extra charge but if I have to I'll buy from dealer stock. I'l go to Calgary if I have to. They have lots their

Not that I’m aware of. Go Auto seems to have I higher ethics level than the other dealers.
