Rapid City got a Limited Edition?

[Stingin' Away]

No idea why they would send us one of these but it's eye candy for me. I usually go check the stealership from time to time to see if they have sold any out of curiousity. Sold 2, got 2 more. The black on the 2.0 looks good, first time seeing one in person.

If they just got it, then it was a dealer trade from another dealership.

What's the asking price on the SY?

I just checked, that vehicle is a GT2 AWD. MSRP of $52,300.

And they got it a couple of months ago. If you're just now seeing it, I'm guessing it was being demo'd by someone at the dealership.

I didn't get out and check. There was a sales guy that I talked to in passing and said it's not marked above MSRP as MurlinatoR has verified.

I'll contest. The sales guy said he just got them. I'm hard-pressed to think he means a couple months ago. They have only had this car for, at most, two weeks. I drive by and through the lot every weekend to see if they sell. There is no way they have had this car for a couple months. The ONLY way I would have not saw the car is if it was inside the service department. I've been through the showroom floor and every spot you can think of besides the service center in the back. The SY as well as the black are new to the dealership which was verified by a sales rep.

Question for you then, what are you seeing that's saying it's been a couple months? Their first delivery, and only delivery before the SY and black (I'm in touch with a sales guy), was a base silver 2.0, blue GT AWD and a Hi Chroma Red GT2 AWD.

I pulled the invoice on the car. They received it early February. See for yourself as I've attached the invoice for the car.

Now, I am very aware that Billion Auto is very well known for "transferring" cars between stores. There is a chance that they had that car at another Billion store for the last couple of months.

[MENTION=291]MurlinatoR[/MENTION] is the $48,213 true dealer cost? Any other holdbacks from Kia?

No, true invoice is AFTER destination of $900, SO $49,113. The dealer might receive a little extra per car if they hit their monthly objective set by the factory but any side money is not really profit. It covers the dealers admin overhead like floorplan.

So there's about a $3k margin? How can this dealer sell it for $10k less than MSRP? https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=479262653

Definitely a transfer. Is there a way for you to see where it was before hand?

Yeah, the name on the invoice IS the originating dealer. So, I would guess that they sent it shortly after arrival to another Billion store and just recently returned it.

Makes sense. Hopefully it doesn't sit long like the other 2.

The yellow one has been around for a few months. It was inside the service area. I checked it out before I ordered my blue GT2 from Iowa.

A few months yes. Not when the original Red GT2, Blue GT1, or Silver Base got there back in late December.

BTW, saw you yesterday parked near Alex Johnson on Main St. Good looking car there, Rick unless there is another blue GT with temp tags hanging around.... I think not.

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I've love the lighter interior on the GT2 and the car is a beast. I've been trying to burn the all-seasons off of it!

Lighter interior? Is it not black or red? I didn't creep that hard on it LOL

I ordered in a GT2 awd. They have the off white Napa Leather and all the other GT2 goodies. I hate darker interiors, so it was really important to me.

Makes sense. There aren't many with that color combo so it's new to me. Regardless, good car choice!
