The Old-Fashioned Way
1. You can't leave. You're pressured to buy the car today, without the chance to comparison shop.
2. Endless negotiation. You're stuck for hours going head-to-head with a salesman.
3. You're overwhelmed by numbers. APRs, fees, payment schedules—you have to sign right away and there's no time to think.
Our Dealer Network
We generate millions of dollars in sales each month for the dealers. By using our website as the middleman, you can save hundreds of dollars on your purchase. Why do dealers work with us then? Because of the 50,000 cars sold each day, fewer than 500 are sold through our network. That’s a drop in the bucket for the car dealers, but a bottom line price quote for you.
In addition, we'll show you any available manufacturer Rebates & Incentives for your new car.
The Back Door to Savings
A dealership’s Internet department prices its vehicles to maximize the number of cars it sells, not the profit per car. Manufacturers decide the allocation of vehicles and dealer perks on the basis of a dealership's volume.
Coming in through the "back door" levels the playing field for your negotiation and tells the dealer that you have done your research, that you know about rebates, hold-backs, multiple price quotes and all the tricks of the trade.
When you deal with our contacts in the Internet department, you get a firm price quote, and oftentimes the paper work is already prepared when you walk into the dealership.
Depending on your location, sometimes the dealer will bring the car to you at your home or office for a test drive, walk-around, and ultimately delivery.
We keep referring customers to friendly Internet Sales Managers, and they keep selling cars at incredibly low prices.
The WhyPaySticker.com Way
1. Start from the comfort of home. It's so easy with free, no-obligation Internet price quotes from Accredited Dealers.
2. Make dealers compete. You know you'll get the best price with competitive bids from multiple dealers.
3. Finalize the numbers on your terms. Finish your negotiations on your time, then go to the dealership to pick up your new car.
New 2012 Kia Rio Overview
As people are increaslingly looking for smaller and more fuel efficient vehicles, car makers have responded by paying more attention to the smaller cars in their lineups, and Kia has done this as well by redesigning its subcompact offering the 2012 Rio.
The Rio is a subcompact sedan that also comes as a hatchback, called the Rio5 which was also redesigned and is reviewed separately on this site. 2012 brought sweeping changes to the Rio; what was once quite frankly a boring exterior has been replaced with all new sheet metal and a brand new look that seems inspired by Kia’s striking Optima midsize sedan. The Rio now features a smaller version of the chrome ringed grille and swept back headlights that are making their way around the Kia lineup.
Also new is the Rio’s engine, which is now a 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder that is mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This new powertrain helps the Rio to achieve impressive fuel economy numbers for a car that doesn’t have to rely on the added cost/complexity of a hybrid system: 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. There is an available Eco Package as well that increases the city mpg number by one.
Inside, the five-seat Rio also has brand new styling and a well-thought out design to it. We had a chance to spend some time with the new Rio and enjoyed the intuitive nature of all the controls and a lack of clutter. There are also some nice touches, such as a rubberized slot in the center console where you can put an iPod or cell phone and it won’t slide about. Standard features are also impressive for a car of this class and include USB/auxiliary audio inputs, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and air conditioning. Available options include Bluetooth® connectivity, push button start, a navigation system, and Kia’s new UVO infotainment system that connects your smartphone to the Rio. UVO allows you to control many of your phone’s functions using voice commands, including making/receiving calls, and it will even read text messages aloud so you can stay focused on driving.
Safety features include six airbags, antilock brakes, electronic stability control, and LATCH seating. UVO also adds a backup camera for safe reversing.
The 2012 Kia Rio provides exceptional value in a stylish package. If you’re in the market for a solid commuter or a car for a young driver, the Rio is definitely worth checking out.
