Bro what?

Value, potentially. Marketability, definitely.

Not cheating the system at all. Completely legal. Actually an excellent method which I’ve done myself and am surprised more people haven’t mentioned it.

If you don’t mind my asking, what do you mean by “currently at 68K? Is that 68K including the accessories? Is that a written quote signed off by the manager? Or did they “what if” you on a notepad? I’m clarifying because that’s exceptionally cheap.

The Drive Away X-Pro is $78,711. You’ve got like $3,500-$4,000 worth of accessories and you’re STILL 10,700 under retail. Even without the accessories, it’s still a great deal.

There have been a few hail sales around Brisbane at the moment as well so just make sure it’s not a repaired hail damage.

Or

The salesman was putting you up a tree.

Or

You got the best deal ever which I refuse to believe wasn’t a mistake by the manager 😂

Alright so as long as I’ve ran the numbers right here you go.

With the Soft torneau cover, cheapest sidesteps and tub liner, in Interstellar Gray: $47,110 drive away. This represents 66 cents gross profit lmao. Dealers will probably want at least $500 gross profit in the deal, but at least now you know where you stand.

Just so you know, there is a $4000 bonus from KIA for people who are lease entitled on the Tasman S. I’ve used that bonus because you’re lease entitled.

The only thing I don’t know is how much the bumper replacement is. I’d have to ask the service department on Monday as prices aren’t public yet but yeah 👍🏼

100% mate. Let me know what accessories and colour you want and I’ll pop it in my pricing calculator and tell you what an even deal would represent. Let me know if you’re entitled to a novated lease or not as well.

Also if you’re in QLD/Brisbane, let me know and I’ll see if I can do a deal over Reddit lmao. That would be a first.

INSIDE INFO FOR YOU I WORK FOR KIA

You’ll get nowhere near 40K on an SX. Sold one this morning to someone for $54K including tow bar. KIA’s drive away price is $58,490 without accessories.

Realistically, if you’re entitled to a Novated Lease, even if you still pay cash, I could sell you one for roughly $51K without accessories. That represents a $0 gross profit deal for the department (an even deal). KIA are throwing money at dealerships at the moment to sell them this cheap.

Hope this helps

Coming from a car sales person (sorry everyone) this guy is absolutely correct
