I just bought a new KIA. Does that make me UN-american? [View all]

I buy a new car about every 6,7 years. I like to buy american. My last car was a Ford Focus. I do not like to spend a lot of money on new cars. I just need something to get me from point A to point B. I do a lot of research.

I got it down to two cars, The Chevy Cruze Sedan and the KIA Forte 5, Hatchback. The Chevy Cruze Hatchback was overpriced.

I took the Cruze for a test drive . Nice car. I brought the sales price that was listed on their website. With my trade in I believed they could get me where I wanted to be on monthly payments. The salesman went to talk to his boss and came back and said I have bad news. The sales price on the website is wrong. I walked out.

I went to kia. Took the Forte Hatchback for a test drive. I Liked it better than the Cruze. I brought the sales price from their website. $3000 rebate. They honored it. They asked me if I was a vet. I said yes. They took another $400 off. They offered me more on my trade in than chevy did. All together, I got over $8,000 off the sticker price of $19,000

They gave me 3 years of free oil changes and it comes with a 5/10 year warranty. Better than Chevys 3/5 year warranty.

Bottom line , they kicked Chevys ass every which way but loose.

I felt sorry for the salesman at Chevy. He said he complains all the time about their website being wrong. He has no control over it.
