I went to a showroom yesterday and told them to remove the insurance and accessories, but they said this is a waiting product, so you have to order, and we won't take order without insurance. I told them legally they can't do that, but they kept making excuses about margin and stuff never explicitly told no, but they won't allow it without insurance. Has anybody got the car without insurance and accessories?

Model I am looking at: Kia Seltos HTX(A) Diesel Auto - Morning Haze Color

I can't crosspost to here so I will post anew...

Friday May 8th I took delivery of my Land FWD. Monday the 11th it went back to the dealership with a problem with the battery and is still there. So basically 3 months I have been without the car now.

I heard from the dealership today. Originally I thought the part they ordered would be here June 20th, turns out it was July 20th then the date got moved to August 18th. Today they notified me it would be 'early' September. That will make well over 4 months to repair it, assuming the parts actually show up and the repair is successful.

I dont have an exact date and I done even know what is ordered exactly. Something for the high voltage battery. The car will have to be shipped to Waterloo for repair when the parts show up.

Needless to say I am frustrated. Loved the car and and super bummed that it looks like the CAMVAP arbitration will likely be finalized before the car is fixed.

The Service manager at the dealer did say that the General Manager is in talks with Kia Canada for options. Everyone at the dealer is frustrated as well but its out of their hands.

If this wasn't so disappointing it would be laughable.

Had my 2019 Niro PHEV in for maintenance today and they offered to change my spark plugs as I'm nearing the 100k km mark. Quoted at $500CAD for 4 spark plugs. WTF!!!

Can anyone explain this to me? I watched YT video showing the process. The air cleaner and engine cover have to come off to access the plugs but otherwise it's not at all complicated.

I may just buy the plugs and do it myself and save $400. Yikes. 😬🙄
