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 Optima Hybrid Overview
After its 2011 debut, the Kia Optima Hybrid returns in 2012 with only a few minor changes to its uncomplicated this-or-that model strategy.
Kia keeps things simple with the Optima Hybrid; only one trim is available with extra features consolidated into the Premium Technology Packages. The 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid gets high marks for a sharp appearance, inviting interior, strong safety features, and 40 mpg highway fuel economy.
The Optima Hybrid packs a wealth of standard equipment, including power windows, an eight-way power adjustable driver seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, 16-inch aluminum wheels, tilt and telescopic steering column, automatic dual-zone climate controls, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a tech-friendly stereo with satellite radio, USB port, and iPod integration.
The Premium Technology package adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, heated and cooled leather trimmed seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, power-folding outside mirrors, and an eight-speaker Infinity audio system.
Possessing a sleek, almost piercing exterior design, the Optima Hybrid has a number of aerodynamic elements to reduce drag and improve airflow around and under the car. Lightweight materials not found on other Optima models also help improve fuel economy, but it’s the hybrid powertrain that gets most of the credit for the EPA estimated fuel economy of 35 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. The 166-horsepower, 2.4-liter gas engine is teamed with a 40-horsepower electric motor, and both are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for a six-speed transmission as opposed to a CVT like you’ll find in many hybrids gives the Optima Hybrid a more traditional feel to its driving experience.
This is a full parallel hybrid system that can operate in pure electric mode at speeds of up to 62 mpg. Keep in mind that the motor’s battery pack is mounted in the trunk area, which reduces cargo volume to just less than 10 cubic feet. Even with the hybrid system’s extra complexity, the Optima Hybrid is covered by the 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
Earning a full five stars from the NHTSA, the Optima Hybrid is fully equipped with six airbags, front active headrests, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic stability and traction control, and a brake-assist system. There’s also an advanced management system that cuts all power from the battery pack if any abnormality is detected and an engine-sound warning to alert pedestrians during electric-only operation.
While it doesn’t boast the most aggressive hybrid powertrain on the market, the 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid may offer a more satisfying driving experience with an abundance of standard features, sophisticated interior ambience, and excellent safety marks.
