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

    I guess my dealer is lying to me. Here is what they told me: ?You cannot terminate a lease early. If you do then you are still responsible for the remaining payments. There is a disposition fee of $400 if you decided to turn the lease in without getting another Kia, there is also a Purchase...

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    I am not "pissed" at you. I don't like "hidden" fees amounting to several thousands of dollars. Can't think of why anyone else would. I posted here and @mentioned you the question as you posted the original KMF sheet with numbers. My thinking was that since you posted the information, you...

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

    I feel the need to correct my original post as the information I posted from my dealer was wrong. Here is the correct calculation: Updated math based on information directly from KMF which corrects what my dealer keeps telling me. Initial payment of $630 (monthly depreciation $495 /...

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    MurlinatoR Uhhhh... no, Contracts do not always require "fulfillment. Leases are just loans packaged a different way. If you pay off a loan early, you save lots of interest that you would have paid if you paid over time. That is what amortization schedules are for. But apparently, Kia...

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    The more I look into the #'s, the KMF cash is nothing more than a huge BAIT and SWITCH. Oh look, we're offering $6,500 cash off the car, just sign our lease (which you CAN NOT TERMINATE EARLY) and you'll pay us back the KMF cash!

    Kia Stinger Purchase/Lease Cheat Sheet - MFs & APRs

    MurlinatoR Question if I may. My dealer is saying that I can NOT buyout the lease at any time. If I choose to buy the car I have to pay all the remaining lease payments. Which isn't making a whole lot of sense. If you run the #'s on a GT2 with the $6,500 KMF cash and a money factor of...

    Finally found my unicorn!!!

    TurboTx yes, definitely. The summers in North Carolina are just too hot not to tint. Probably next month or so. robz32 I am still a little bummed SWP doesn?t even offer the red interior. That has been a popular combination in corvettes for years! But today it?s official. NATASHA it is...

    UVO app not getting updates from the car

    Yeah, Kazz I?m with you. I am sure there is plenty of technical challenges in getting this stuff to work in the background, but when I push that start/stop button after parking, I want to get out and get where I?m going. Having to launch an app and push a another button to send info seems kinda...

    intake

    @mike@importshark no, it?s not a muffler delete. It?s an aftermarket muffler. But JUST the muffler itself and it can be ?slipped on? without welding or anything. Sounds like there may not be anything like that in the auto world. Here?s an example from moto...

    intake

    I think the term stems from the motorcycle world where a slip-on refers to just the muffler ?end? without all the additional piping to keep costs down. You typically lose some performance keeping the smaller diameter pipes. Slip-ons are typically used to enhance sound and get minimal...

    Who is disappointed we didn't get the suede headliner?

    Hadn?t really noticed myself. So not a big deal for me. Would have liked: - surround camera system - heated rear seats Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When will you perform the first oil change?

    Chances... for what? The only people I know who change their oil after 4-500 miles are NASCAR drivers! Lol. But hey, kidding aside... it certainly shows you love and care for you car and will probably take better care of it than most of the rest of us. And changing it this early certainly...

    Ha! Looks like either Tapatalk or the forum doesn?t support Apple emojis. I wrote out a nice comparison and it didn?t show in the post (grunt). I screenshot it this time! (Grin) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sting-err

    If the arrow was meant to be a ?distance until empty? then the graphic is in the wrong place and should read: Range xxx miles ???? So either their grammar is wrong, or the arrow is pointing the wrong way. It is confusing (IMHO) and should point to the side of the car where the fuel cap is...

    When will you perform the first oil change?

    Changing any less that 3-4K is almost wasteful (IMHO). Synthetic oils just don?t break down like ?old school? oil did. Also, most higher performance engine blocks are made of aluminum-alloy which is typically much stronger and wears better than the older iron engine blocks. Just my 2??s...
