Calavan Kia West

I went to this Kia dealership on Tuesday Jan 12th 2012. I had already visited 4 other dealerships in Douglas County the day before (all on Thornton Rd.) Like many car buyers I was simply interest rate sho I had already visited 4 other dealerships in Douglas County the day before (all on Thornton Rd.) Like many car buyers I was simply interest rate shopping, and I had a fixed price of $14,000. They had a 2011 Kia Soul for $11,998, and of course they tried to get me into something more expensive, but after looking at 3 other vehicles, and being told that I couldbn't get the payment I was looking for (no interest rate clarification, no identification on finance companies, nothing) I decided to inquire about the Soul for $11,998....I asked, "what would the total be on that car if I brought a check from my bank?", response, "about $15,000." So I was facing $3100 in tax tag and title fees, but yet finacning that vehicle was going to cost me %20 interest (still no name on the finance company) and that my payment would be somewhere in the ballpark of $381 monthly for 72 months....so lets see here, $11,998 at %20 interest = $14,397, assuming I still had $3100 in tax tag and title fees, brings the total to $17,797 and change, divided by 72 = $243.02.....hmmmm either these guys didn't know how to work a calculator, or they just wanted to charge me $27,432 (72 months x $381 payments) for a car that stickered at almost one third that price. I am not saying don't go to this dealership, I am saying take your accountant, lawyer, and a scientific calculator with you.....oh and by the way I am a proud owner of a 2011 Kia Soul at %11.2 percent interest from another Kia dealership not far from Douglasville, and my payments are exactly what I wanted....$276.43 a month....interesting right??
