Close How to Save Money on a Used Car at University Kia Huntsville
Taking home a pre-owned vehicle can be a great boon for your finances. Come to University Kia Huntsville to save cash while still commanding a stellar car or SUV. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about the car you'll be driving down Highway 431.
Find a Dealership with Flexible Finance Options
One of the best ways to save money on a used car is to find a dealership like ours that offers flexible financing. By breaking up the cost of your pre-owned Kia over the course of several years, you won’t have to take the brunt of the burden at the start of your plan. Furthermore, our sales team can work with you to set up a plan that fits your needs. Changing the down payment, monthly installment amount, and interest rate can all affect the impact your financing plan has on your life. We work with drivers who have poor credit or no credit, so check with us to see what kind of contract you can start. We welcome you to browse our vast collection of dependable used Kia cars online.
Trade Your Car
You can trade in your previous vehicle to further reduce the principal on your loan. By taking this route, you will not only make room in your garage or parking space, but you will also make your financing contract much less expensive. Trading your car at our dealership lets you avoid meeting strangers or placing online advertisements, which saves you time and stress. If you want to see what we’ll offer you for your vehicle, use the Value Your Trade tool on our website. Then, enter your vehicle’s make, model, year, and trim level to see what it is worth. Alternatively, if you have access to the VIN, you can add that figure to get an even more accurate estimate. If you like the offer you get, bring your car to our location for a final inspection.
Plan for Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance is an inseparable part of vehicle ownership, whether you purchase a new or used model. Luckily, you can plan ahead for the costs associated with caring for your pre-owned Kia as you drive it to and from Monte Sano State Park. We recommend that you get a tire rotation and oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or more frequently if the car you choose has over 80,000 miles on its odometer. Check the Owner’s Manual of your prospective vehicle to see when its next milestone maintenance is, since transmission and brake fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles or so. Taking care of your used car can drastically extend its lifespan on the roads of Huntsville. We have a skilled team of professionals at our Service Department who can help you set up a maintenance schedule.

“ High pressure old school sales tactics. They just start driving away with you in the car! ”
“ I initially had a positive experience with University Kia when I brought in my 2018 Honda Odyssey for a check engine light diagnosis through my Assurant extended warranty. My service advisor, Anthony, was friendly and helpful during the intake process. The dealership even assisted us in obtaining a rental vehicle through Enterprise when we encountered issues, and I appreciated that effort. Unfortunately, my experience took a dramatic turn on the day I attempted to have my vehicle transferred to a Honda dealership after being informed that the repair was actually covered under Honda’s warranty rather than my extended warranty. Anthony informed me that Honda would need to handle the repair, which I completely understood and immediately began coordinating. The problem arose when University Kia refused to release my vehicle due to what they claimed was an unresolved Enterprise rental issue. After contacting Enterprise myself, I confirmed that the rental was being billed directly to my debit card, and I immediately relayed that information back to the dealership. I was repeatedly told it would take “just five more minutes” to send me my invoice so the vehicle could be released. As time passed, the situation became increasingly frustrating. The Honda dealership was ready to pick up my vehicle and potentially complete the repair that same day, but University Kia continued to delay the release. Multiple follow-up calls resulted in either being hung up on or having my calls declined. The only way I was able to reach someone was by calling anonymously. What concerns me most is the lack of communication and professionalism. Despite providing proof that the rental vehicle was my responsibility and not University Kia’s financial obligation, I was still unable to get a clear explanation or timely resolution. I ultimately had to escalate the matter, request management involvement, and send a detailed complaint to the service manager. While the initial customer service was pleasant, the way this situation was handled on the day of vehicle release was extremely disappointing. Better communication, accountability, and customer service could have prevented hours of unnecessary stress and frustration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service department. ”
