Out of curiosity, what's a gallon of regular 87 up there right now? $3.29 seems to be the average here these past few days.

I think i saw 3.38 when I filled up yesterday. (e85 was at 2.83)

Not sure what E85 here costs right now, I don't really pay attention.

If you go to Barnett Kia in WBL, hopefully you get a better salesman than the guy we talked to (Mike Pinotti). He was a complete dork and super annoying. I barely got the door open of my truck when we arrived and he was already in our face, very pushy, and once we told him we weren't buying anything that day he pretty much pushed us right out the door.

Funny how they dominate (or at least have a strong presence) in the motorcycle market, yet can barely make a dent in the automotive market...

They're actually the 9th largest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry#By_manufacturer) auto makers in the world. Mostly in Asia/India. But you're correct, they haven't really penetrated the American car market. We probably sell 10-15 new Suzuki's a month. Where as we sell closer to 60-70 new mitsus a month. Apple Suzuki, who exclusively sells Suzuki's only sells about 4-8 a month.

How can a dealership survive on 4-8 sales per month?

Yes, I have thrown out the diesel stuff.

I honestly was thinking 15k at most when I first made this, the cars I am looking at now are already more than 15k and with TTL its getting close to 20k.

If I actually had some cash saved up I would be more inclined to look at a VW diesel but I don't, so financing over 20k just seems stupid to me, I don't like to do 15k+ even but I will be getting a good sized bonus which I will pay off a large chunk in April.

Was probably going to stop at BP Kia as its on my way home from work.

I am guessing the Optima is what I am looking at as the sorento seems to be higher priced.

Maybe check out the Forte too, but seems like thats a bit smaller/cheaper than the comparable models (kizashi and sonota).

From my personal experience, the Forte would compare pretty equally vs. the Kizashi. It's a nice sized car with plenty of goodies.

The forte seems more like a corolla competitor or civic imo. The kazashi seems more accord/camry style imo.

I could be wrong though.
