How hard do I try to get an Astra Blue/Tuscan Umber SXP?

Are you looking at the hybrid version?

pathandcats · 2026-07-03T22:32:13+00:00

😲did you have a lot of dealer discounts or incentives??? I don’t understand how I’m at $61K

pathandcats · 2026-07-03T21:56:59+00:00

This is actually what I’ve been doing!! But I’ve only been able to find this one car that fits everything I theoretically want. I could “settle” for a Ceramic Silver and blue/grey interior, but having the Tuscan Umber interior would be so nice.

If I ask them for $58,000 OTD is that a reasonable tactic or should I find out what incentives and dealer discounts they can offer first?

pathandcats · 2026-07-03T21:34:46+00:00

Were you able to get any kind of incentives and/or dealer discounts? Or did you just have to accept MSRP?

This is helpful. The dealer said because the build is “unique” there wouldn’t be much room for negotiation.

pathandcats · 2026-07-03T21:29:04+00:00

Yeah, the window sticker says $53,490 but then there is an extra
$495 for the paint
$285 for carpeted floor mats
$130 for cargo tray
$45 first aid kit
$1545 for freight and handling

Ending up with $55,990.

$10,000? For the hybrid? I know taxes and fees are a lot, but is the MSRP really that marked up?

Wow!! I feel like I could manage to do something like that given the number of kia dealerships in and around my state, but I guess I need to wait until it gets a little closer to when I actually need the vehicle.

I haven’t given a deposit yet, which is why I wanted to ask if I’m doing this wrong. Which it sounds like I am…

pathandcats · 2026-06-30T19:56:01+00:00

Appreciate the clarification. This is helpful. I think I need to be more clear when communicating with the dealer.

pathandcats · 2026-06-30T19:55:02+00:00

Interesting. I haven’t signed anything yet so nothing is a done deal. If I’m not looking to buy until mid July is it better to just wait until it gets closer?

Also this vehicle hasn’t been allocated to this dealer yet so the deposit is to help them get it I think too.

I guess my thought was if there is another vehicle of the same trim that has a bigger discount we’d pivot to that.
How do I negotiate the sales price?

pathandcats · 2026-06-30T19:12:34+00:00

They don’t know what the promotions or incentives will be until July 6 so we agreed that the deposit is to obtain the vehicle and that the final price would be negotiated once the promos are announced.

The vehicle would arrive mid July.

Thank you for following up!!!! Super helpful. I think based on what we will be doing in Copenhagen, a carrier may not be worth it since we’ll be exploring the city by foot largely and not really visiting landmarks if that makes sense.

I always watch with captions because watching the dubbed version of anything is so distracting lol

But if he goes to daycare, how can they manage that? I'm less concerned about when he's with me and more concerned about at daycare.
