Greetings Redds, making a new vehicle purchase and the wifey and I agreed on a Kia Soltas. Looks pretty good decent enough mileage and the seating comfort for adults. Now… anyone out there recently go through this aggravating process especially with a Kia dealership? How bad were the “mark ups”? How much of a PITA were the “up sells”? And if you did make purchase how’s the actual drive? Thanks In advance!

If you're looking to buy, you should definitely check out YAA (joinyaa.com). They really have tons of info how to maneuver dealerships and finance. They have a crowd sourced map of dealerships and you can see who does and does not charge mark-ups etc. https://joinyaa.com/dealers/
You don't have to be a member to use most of their resources.
I've watched many hours of their videos and they saved me not only money but lots of aggravation in my last two car purchases. Knowledge is power.
This… This is knowledge
This really depends on your location, my brother bought a seltos at MSRP in Chicago, but in socal it's a 5k markup.
Thanks for the reply
