McGrath Kia of St. Charles (Chicago) - AVOID

[moose09876]

Tried to purchase a '13 135is from this dealership. 6spd, Lemans Blue, Sensatec, no nav, 99k mi. Listed at 14k. VIN WBAUC9C56DVY60818. After intake, their service department said it needed valve cover gasket, oil housing gasket, front main seal, lower oil pan gasket, and a head gasket replacement. Now 4 days in to trying to get this car. Given this new information they made an offer of... full price + >$900 dealer fees, take it or leave it. I'm sure this car will bounce around the dealer auction for a long time. Sad.

Head gasket is a head scratcher. I'd look at a different car that's not a common failure item.

Exactly, not common. Also, Kia tech, so.... Partially why I wanted to get this negotiated to a reasonable amount and take it home.
