Kia AutoSport - Rip Off, 23% ADM, Illegally removed Monroney Sticker Columbus, Georgia
My wife went in to get a quote on a vehicle (against my advise) in order to prequalify for a bank loan. I already knew from research what the vehisle's MSRP with the options she wanted was. The first thing they did was seperate her from the car she was thinking about trading in. Over the next 7 (yes SEVEN) hours, they proceeded to break her down to the point where she would have signed her soul over to them in order to escape. She ultimately agreed to pay a $3995.00 ADM (in case you don't know what that is, it's an "Additional Dealer Markup"), just plain GREED. Her salesman even admitted that he'd attended the "Bill Heard School of Bend Over and Grab Your Ankles".
I don't necessarily fault the dealership for this terrible deal, it's what they do.
To top all of this off, they illegaly removed the Monroney Sticker (in violation of Chapter 28, Sections 1231-1233 Title 15 of the United States Code), before they delivered the car.
Please beware and don't do business with these crooks!
I'm going to contact the BBB and the Ga. Attorney General's offices the first thing Monday morning!

When my wife bought the car, she asked about a trunk liner (wholesale is $60, retail is $75). She failed to get a signed "We Owe", so as much profit as the dealer made from the sale, it looks like she won't get this small consolation either.
The Kia AutoSport dealerships in Columbus and Albany, GA and Pensacola and Tallahassee, FL are owned by the same group.
Caveat Emptor!
