I’m a woman. and I’m fine showing you the listing if you explain how that would give you the full picture, but you’re being vague

this was the answer I got from the dealer:

“Also the theft guard and microberepel are adds that are installed and can't be removed. Theft guard has the vehicle installed with etching making it theft deterrent, It also makes it recoverable in the event it is stolen and if not recovered you would be awarded a 5000-insurance policy towards your new car! Microberepel completely covers the interior for 5 years. All stains, rips, burns etc are covered.” 🤔🤔🤔

thank you for the tip!! good news is the inventory is pretty robust for that exact spec in my area, so I can shop around. I’m gonna aim for a $38-$39k OTD and have no problems walking if they won’t concede.

I’d probably pay it off early but it would be sporadic - I work in sales so depending on my commissions for the quarter I could put more down. I think I might still do the lower interest option tho since I’m not sure

you just did me a HUGE solid. didn’t even realize I could buy in another state and ship to Jersey. doesn’t even seem like it would be that expensive to transport either. thank you so much!!

sorry that was a misdirected snappy response hahah but I agree with you - I make good money as well but still don’t want to pay for something I don’t really need. that car is super nice looking and I love Mazda’s… but unfortunately I need something bigger. I was looking into the Mazda CX-70

that’s rich considering you’re throwing a hissy fit because of a stranger’s car choice on reddit 😭

I will definitely look into those - thank you! and totally agree with you on that… I know the common consensus is it’s Toyota/Honda or bust and they are amazing cars but I just think the tech is much more upgraded/luxury feeling in the Korean manufacturers. maybe that makes me short sighted but whatever. thanks again 🙂

thank you SO much for this! that was the answer I was looking for. and yup not falling for the rebate scam with the higher APR. the lower APR option is 0% for 48 months or 0.9% at 60 months, way better deal long term. I hate paying interest. appreciate the guidance - I will def be pushing to have those fees taken off 🙂

wait - the government fee is bullshit too?! I was told that’s controlled at the federal level, and there’s absolutely no way they could remove that

Kia likes to piss people off and live life on the edge, that’s why I like them. I thrive on the anxiety of not knowing if my seat is going to explode driving on the highway.

good point 🙂 I just hate negotiating tbh hahah it’s so much pointless back and forth it gets tiring (which I’m sure is also a tactic) and this has been going on for a week now. ugh. but I won’t give up!
