    Out of all the brands you picked the one that actually has cheap models. A rio starts at 17k and a soul at 20k. Most of its vehicles, including SUVs are sub 40k

      You’re not going to be able to find base models these days, or if you do they’ll come with a bunch of options already installed.

      Dealers learned during the shortage that people will pay for the mid range ones if that was their only option.

      Regardless, Kia is still a stupid choice to try to prove that particular point.

          And it’s going to be about 5k more the second you walk in the door because they advertise a price without add ons. They also don’t sell one without add ons. Then by the time finance is done you’ll be paying at least another 5k.

            Side note, never ever sign the first offer. They call it “first pencil.”
