This vehicle was purchased new on 4/16/2011 from Kia of Gastonia. The MSRP was $28,490 and after the dealer add-ons the total asking price was $31,178.93. This vehicle is loaded. It has both optional packages offered. The $1500.00 Navigation w/Premium Audio package and the $3000.00 Premium Package w/Leather. These packages add navigation, Sirius radio w/traffic, Reverse camera display, leather seats, heated and cooled seats, push button start w/smart key, homelink, cargo cover, pano roof, back up sensors, heated mirrors. On top of this the dealer added interior protection package, nitrogen filled tires, mud guards, cargo tray, and window tint. They also added a pinstripe but we had it removed at the dealer because my wife hates them. Also at the dealer, we had the bright chromey EX rims switched out to the LX rims because of personal preference. Also has subwoofer and proximity entry.

Reason for selling is we just purchased a brand new Expedition El and do not need two SUVs so my wife will be buying a small sedan. This vehicle gets great gas mileage, 22/31, and is in great condition inside and out. It was involved in a rear end collision in Feb. of 2012 and was repaired back to new by one of, if not the best, body shops in Charlotte, Body Works Plus LLC. This happened with 15699 miles on the vehicle so we have driven this vehicle almost 28000 trouble free miles since this repair. We have all paperwork for this repair and also all maintenance paperwork. All oil changes and work have been done by Auto Tune Total Car Care and receipts will go with vehicle. Also, all manuals, paperwork, and window sticker will be included. Both keys are included.

Kelly Blue Book value on this vehicle is $20,188 but I realize that with an accident on the vehicle the value must be adjusted to compensate for future resale value so we will sale for a $1,689 discount at $18,499 or best offer. We feel this is very fair for all involved since the vehicle has not had one problem ever and especially in the 28000 miles since the repair. Also used to reach this value was the fact that local dealer Ben Mynatt Buick GMC has a same year/miles/equipment vehicle listed on Autotrader for $20,994. Plus with buying from a private seller there is NO doc fee.

The vehicle is still under factory warranty until 4/16/2016 or 60,000 miles!

Always garaged.

This vehicle is financed through Kia so there will be a payoff procedure with title exchange. This however is simple. We just sold my F150 which was financed through Ford and it went smooth and the buyer was happier to save thousands than worrying about waiting on a title.

Bank of America is offering super APR rate through the end of Feb, as low as 2.49 for up to 72 months. $18,499 using these numbers is only $275 a month! This was only put in for informational purposes. I am NOT a dealer and do NOT offer financing or shipping. Payment can be cash or we can meet at a bank where funds will have to be confirmed before vehicle is turned over, a bill of sale can be signed/notarized, and all disclosures can be provided.

Please ask any questions or contact me to set up a time to look at this vehicle. It is in really great condition and someone is going to get a great deal. Thanks, Tim.

2018 Kia Stinger vs. other luxury hatchbacks compared by the numbers

Sat, Nov 18 2017

Ten years ago, if you had told us that one of the many new luxury segments to develop would be sedan-style hatchbacks, we'd have said you'd lost your mind. And yet, here we are today with not one, but four cars competing in just such a niche upscale segment: The Kia Stinger, Buick Regal Sportback, BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo and Audi A5. That's just in one size and price bracket. Two of the manufacturers listed here make larger versions of each luxury hatchback. We aren't entirely sure how it happened, but we're not going to complain, because we love the idea of a car with almost no compromise: luxury features, sporty performance, and plenty of practicality. Try Autoblog' s Car Finder to search for your next new vehicle. One of the reasons we're taking a look at these cars right now is that Kia has recently released pricing for its entry in the segment, the Stinger and Stinger GT. Buick wasn't far behind with the Regal Sportback and Regal GS, nor was Audi with the A5 and S5. So it seemed like an appropriate moment to look at the numbers and see which come out ahead or behind, with victors in each category highlighted with bold and underlined text. What we found when comparing these cars' statistics is that each one has a clear area of expertise. For performance, it's hard to beat the four-cylinder Kia Stinger and the V6 Stinger GT. The four-banger has the most horsepower of the four cars, and is just behind on torque. The V6 has the most power and torque among the six-cylinder versions. The Stingers are also the second lightest of the group when equipped with rear-wheel drive, though they fall to third with all-wheel drive. Space is a split between the Buick Regals and BMW 3 Series Gran Turismos. The Buicks have the most cargo space with the rear seats up or folded by a significant margin. The BMW on the other hand generally offers more space for passengers. It's up to you what's most important. Compare these and other potential new vehicle purchases using our tool. When it comes to cost, nothing can beat the four-cylinder Regal's base price of under $26,000. But if a V6 is what you're after, the Stinger GT is the cheapest. Neither matches the Audi A5 and S5 for fuel economy, though. Both Audis have the highest numbers for city, highway, and combined EPA estimates. Related Video:

Kia wants 11 green cars by 2020

Mon, Nov 16 2015

Kia will invest $10.2 billion in an effort to become a more environmentally friendly automaker over the next five years, and the recently teased Niro hybrid crossover will be just the tip of the iceberg. The Korean automaker wants to more than double its green car lineup by 2020 to 11 models from the current four with plans for new hybrids, PHEVS, EVs, and even a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle. This green rollout will start with an Optima PHEV (the 2014 hybrid variant is shown above) with a lithium-polymer battery and will continue with the Niro CUV. Spy shots also suggest both Hyundai and Kia have other dedicated hybrids under development, and rumors hint at their arrival in showrooms in 2017. "Global market demand is shifting to electric vehicles, with oil prices predicted to rise in future," Ki-Sang Lee, the senior vice president at Kia's Eco Friendly Vehicle R&D Center, said in the investment's announcement. Kia is already familiar with fuel-cell tech thanks to public testing in 2009, but the automaker really wants to push development with a mass-produced model in 2020. The new FCEV would use a 15- percent lighter and five-percent more efficient stack versus current units, and the setup would offer an estimated range of over 497 miles. The company hopes to build 1,000 of these vehicles annually at first. The automaker's green plan will also aim to boost the brand's average fuel economy by 25 percent from 2014 levels. To make that happen, Kia will replace seven of its 10 engine families and will cut the weight of future vehicles by five percent. The next-gen models will use more efficient transmissions too. KIA MAPS OUT FIVE-YEAR AMBITION FOR GREEN CAR LEADERSHIP Green car line-up expected to grow from four to 11 models by 2020 Kia targeting hydrogen fuel cell vehicle production within five years Kia aiming to improve average fuel efficiency by 25% over 2014 levels Roadmap for low emission cars includes clean combustion, hybrid- and pure- electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cells 70% of current engine range set to be replaced by more efficient units Kia Motors today announced its mid- to long-term plans for the development of a greatly increased range of environmentally friendly vehicles. The brand's 'green car roadmap' sets out Kia's ambition to become a leader in the low emissions car market by 2020.
