Bait and switch... so annoying.

maybe you should think before you speak. some of us get 0% financing for five years.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize we were talking only about shitty cars that dealers/manufacturers need to bribe you to buy.

free money is free money.

If you can't afford to pay off the car in 3 years, you need to consider buying a car you can afford.

Fixed so the quote is accurate. If you're getting 0% for 5 years, why not extend the term?

edit: besides, Astronomer, everyone in ATOT can afford to pay cash for $50k vehicles, but just choose to extend the term with their 0% financing. So, I'm not sure who the "can't afford" applied to around here.

Get over there and take a bunch of pictures of the signs with all the rebates, etc., and take it to your states AG....

My parents bought a brand new Kia this summer and it has been in the shop 8 times because it wouldn't start/died on the highway. I wouldn't take one if you gave it to me (which is possible because here they do 2 for 1 specials every year).

And people still fall for that? Who the heck wants to buy 3 Kia's?

Nissan is now offering 0% for 60 months on their Altimas... I guess the Altima has suddenly become shitty... oh, wait, and Honda... oh, and look! Lexus too!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Could be $10000 rebates with negative interest rates, you are still making a mistake if you buy a Kia.

Agreed. They are garbage. I'd never buy a Kia.

HUH????

The way it works, you buy their SUV and they give you the little compact for free.

They're not revealing a substitute product, they're offering the same product but with less appealing terms. That's not bait and switch, there's no "switch". Not that it matters, it's a minor technicality, but I'm a pedant.

The local Kia dealership runs an add on TV about their Kia Fortes and how you can get 0% APR at 60 months AND $2,000 in rebates. I figure that it's worth a look, but when I get there they inform me that apparently there was an "error" in the ad department and that 0% is only for 36 months

The bait and switch is on the financing, not the vehicle.

lol, Lexus. I'm pretty sure only eunuchs drive those things.

What does that have to do with not getting upside-down on a loan? You can still be upside-down even if you're not paying any financing fees.

Its your responsibility as an American to report stuff like this.

The bait & switch is on the switch in financing terms...not in the vehicle.

BTW, leave the baby ants alone you pedo...

Why would you buy a new Kia?

If you are going to buy a car that depreciates 75% in the first 3 years, I would buy a used one.

Whoa! I checked residual values:
Honda Accords (known for their high resale) are ~55% after 3 Years.
Kia Optimas are ~23% after 3 years.

First of all, depreciation doesn't mean much to me considering the vehicle will be driven in to the ground. And as far as accidents if they were to occur, that is what GAP is for.

I go for the longest term with 0% because normally, if I have a 315 payment, I will pay 500 or 550. If there is a budget issue or unexpected expense in the month and I can't afford the higher payment, I can get away with the regular payment.

Why wouldn't you take advantage of a 60 month 0 interest financing? I am making the assumption you are not hurting for money.

It really depends on what state you are in. Some states believe in limited government, and the "free market"
Lying in advertising, according to their philosphy, is none of the governments business. The free market will correct itself.



geez, I made myself lol when I typed that.

You really have no idea what you are talking about do you
