car info stats image
Anica
I am interested in purchasing a 2011 Kia Optima EX MSRP/ sticker says 27,656. I need help on negotiating a descent and fare price for this car. What price would you suggest? And any tips to use when asking for that price. Anything will help at this point !
Answer
first off you need to know what they can sell you the car for by using a site that gives you the price you should pay . I use edmunds.com ( no charge site ) they don't sell cars but give you a tmv ( true market price the price you should pay for the area in which you live, gives you all stats on car and reviews ( very good site ) than you go to dealer andf ask them what they will sell you the car for and it should be right about what you got from edmunds . do not tell them what price you havelet them give you theirs first and if close fine if not tell them what price you got and if they don't watch it, leave ( they don't like when you leave, but if they don;t stop you go elsewhere.
I have used this site for years and works very well, this way you have an even paying field as to what they can sell you the car for. the optima is very nice.
if you have more than one kia dealer in your area you can use truecar.com and when you fill in info they will tell you what dealer had best price and how much they will sell it to you for, you might have to drive few extra miles but you can always take to nearest dealer for service, that's not a problem.
if only dealer in your area they might not budge on price that;;s why you use truecar ( they do't sell cars either but give dealers your name and they will call you. works very well also, prices some times less than edmunds. only takes about 20 minutes to do all this and can save thouands.

Does anyone know of a smaller based car seat for a child over 20lbs?
Buffalo Sl
I need to upgrade my children's carseats but i'm having a problem finding seats small enough to fit all 3 kids in the backseat of the car (2 of the kids will be in car seats for kids over 20 lbs and side by side). Thanks.

Hi - there are a few carseats on the market that are geared for this.
First - you didn't give ages. Currently, we are really pushing parents to rear face their children to age 2 (or beyond). I know this is a bit of a foreign concept to people - but just check out this video on youtube before you immediately knock it.

Also - I would need some more info about the car - make/model/year.
The "thin" seats on the market are:
Combi Corroco - 33lb rear facing limit but a remarkably deep shell for a small seat - 40lb forward facing limit - good choice for infants moving out of the infant seat - but not the best choice for an older toddler.
Sunshine Kids Radian (nice tall top harness slots of 18-19", 65 or 80lb limit depending on make/model, thin and it has an 8 year expiration (it's all steel), its heavy, and it can be difficult to install depending on your make/model), great choice for older toddlers or to rear face kids longer
Graco Cargo (good for taller skinny kids - 40lb limit but 16" top slots- terrible booster... so don't use it for a booster)
The other thing is, some seats puzzle really well together - like all the britax seats puzzle next to radians really well because the britax almost sits up and over the radian.
What I would do is go to www.car-seat.org, post your specific situation, with your car make, model and all your kids stats (age, weight, torso height - have them sit against a wall, measure to their shoulders)
You will get a solution.
