    Rear window spoiler & brakelight

    Hey everyone, Couple questions and maybe a poll if I can figure out how to do that! (lol) 1. I just received the aftermarket rear window spoiler (from K5optima): Wondering before I install it if I should have it painted to match the roof color (Natasha is Snow White Pearl). It's tough to...

    How many people have received a thumbs up from other drivers on the road?

    Thumbs up, stares, smiles and "Holy Crap that's a Kia!!!???" I get approached about Natasha about once or twice a week. It's incredible the look on peoples' faces when I tell them it's a Kia!

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    Yeah, prototypes usually have lots of glitz to get people to look. If they do build it, quite a bit will change. That interior will look more like what is in the Stinger today. But as for the overall shape and style, I would buy one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nice. I would love to hear/see a clip if you are able to record and post a video of it. Thanks!

    Who is considering purchasing a KIA for the first time because of the Stinger?

    Well, if they actually build the Kia GT Proceed(?), maybe you can buy one of them when they finally come out... likely in 2-3 years! :) FAI 2018 - KIA GT Proceed - FIRST LOOK https://youtu.be/HD5rHWe8ELI

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    So true and I completely agree as I have bought out leases several times before with both BMWFS and Honda FS. This dealer continues to give me bad information. I've got Kia Consumer Affairs on them now! Silver lining, I have discovered just how good Kia Consumer Affairs AND Kia Motor...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    Hey MurlinatoR... I was able to get clarity from KMF. I corrected my original post too. Take a look. My original assumption was right and the dealer was feeding (and continues to feed me) bad information. Their finance manager is just wrong.

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    Hi ghedoicy, thanks for asking. Still dealing with this dealer who is completely inadequate. I called KMF today and got real answers. My original assumptions were correct. When you payoff/buyout a lease, you are only responsible for the balance of the Depreciation portion of your payments...

    KeenDesign video

    I've never been one for lowering cars and all this aftermarket stuff, but there is just something about what this team has done that catches the eye. I've watched the video a dozen times. Really love the look. https://youtu.be/_Cqd35Wj6Ps

    KIA Premium Concierge

    Unfortunately I have had to contact KIA Consumer Affairs due to issues with my dealer. But when speaking with them today I was pleasantly surprised to learn that as Stinger owners, we have a dedicated phone number to call if we have any questions about our cars. That is very cool! Phone...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    While that is good and sound advice for many people, if you have $50k to pay cash for a car, then you may have the credit to make money with money. I do not pay cash for anything. I?ve leased or financed every car I have ever owned because I always buy new which typically comes with very...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    Thanks MarkyMark . I am all too familiar with HOW they calculate it. My point was, you just can't generate more than $5,000 of interest in just 36 months. Even if I financed the whole car at 5% over 36 months you only generate $4,100 in interest. So what exactly is in the Rental Charge...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    I have asked for a full breakdown of the Rental Charges. They already added a Dealer Doc Fee ($699) and an Acquisition Fee ($650) which are in the Gross and Adjusted Capitalized Costs. I?m not even arguing those. IMHO, the Rental Charges should not include anything beyond interest on the money...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    Not from my POV. The question I am trying to solve is whether or not the "Rent Charges" are due in full if you buy-out the lease early. My dealer is saying that ALL remaining Rental Charges are due if I buy out the lease after 2 months. Which doesn't seem right to me as I have done it before...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    MurlinatoR That is what I had expected, though not what my dealer is saying. I quoted his response to me in one of my previous posts. I will continue to dig into this further. Appreciate your patience, though you might now understand my frustration with the dealer when they are implying that...

    Leasee's BE WARE - KMF CASH ON LEASES ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR

    MurlinatoR Frustrated... you bethchya Confused... I don?t think so Is the leasee is responsible for the entire ?Rent Charge? the moment they sign the lease regardless of when they choose to make all the payments, and the dealer can not show what makes up the rent charge, then these numbers...
