Thank you for sharing your honest feedback regarding your recent sales visit. We do take your comments seriously and understand that our dealer installed options do not hold value for you. Several of our customers appreciate the protection for their investment as well as the many conveniences they offer at a largely discounted cost. We do appreciate you working with us and hope you enjoy your new Kia! Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Thank you for providing your honest feedback regarding your recent sales visit. In regards to our essentials package, a majority of our customers see value in this as there are several features that protect your investment and increase the quality of ownership. All of our fees and taxes are disclosed on our disclaimer on each vehicle online. Every dealer you will run into has added cost outside of the MSRP price. We are transparent about ours. Kia of Port Charlotte offers some of the best pricing you will see on new Kias in this area and we apologize if we were unable to meet your expectations in this regard. We always try to make deals happen for customers. We do appreciate you working with us and are happy to help with anything you need in the future.

Mike H responded

If you are transparent, how come you advertise MSRP prices online? Wouldn’t transparency imply that you advertise the price you will charge? Nobody finds value in your add-ons. Other dealers regularly runs advertisements stating they dot have dealer installed add-ons because people hate them so much. Example: Nobody should pay 100s of dollars for an $8 bottle of rainex. Industrial (which only last 3 months longer) or not the product is over priced just like all the rest.
