City KIA of Greater Orlando

I had narrowed my new car choices to a 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid, 2010 Kia Soul and 2011 Hyundai Tucson. I started with the Honda dealership and kept an open mind. I moved across the street to City Kia to te Hybrid, 2010 Kia Soul and 2011 Hyundai Tucson. I started with the Honda dealership and kept an open mind. I moved across the street to City Kia to test the Soul. City Kia had a very LIMITED selection of Soul's. They did not have all the colors and they did not have all models with all the upgrade packages / accessories. I think they had all of 5 Soul's on the lot. My first impression of the dealer was not the greatest when after the initial hello's the sales rep asked if I wanted new or used? Not to gloat about my personal finances but let's just say I would NEVER lower myself to buy a used car. That's something for less-desirable folk! So then I asked about a black or green Kia Soul, which I did not see, on the lot. They had no green and only 1 black. OK fair enough, they could have sold off the others but when I saw the sticker price I was shocked to find the black one was $5000 more than any other Kia Soul on the lot. When I asked why he said because of all the upgrades. When I asked him to explain the upgrades he had to refer to the window sticker and read the list. Considering there are only 5 on the lot and this was the only one with all these upgrades that wasn't very professional! Considering 4 were the same and 1 had all the bells and whistles the sales rep should have known the difference. Especially since some of the upgrades were obvious like a sunroof, body kit, etc. During the test drive the sales rep was very quiet. He answered my questions but did not ask me anything. He did not ask my opinion of the car, the engine performance or anything. Finally, I liked the Kia Soul but noticed that the one in the showroom had even more upgrades but was less expensive. When I questioned him on this he said that they did many of these upgrades such as adding the leather seats on their own, not from the factory. That didn't add up because upgrades, whether after market or not, are still upgrades meaning it should have been more expensive. I wasn't impressed with the dealer mostly because of the limited selection, the lack of color choices and the lack of model variation. Although they did have 5 on the lot, 4 were exactly the same, only 1 (the black one) had all the upgrades / options. More
