How We Sell at Summit Place Kia East in Clinton Twp, MI

Our Promise

Every new Kia at Summit Place Kia East is advertised at our dealer cost, the lowest price Kia allows us to advertise. The price you see online is the price you pay for the vehicle, whether you buy online, by phone or in our Clinton Township showroom.

We built our process so you can do as much or as little as you like from home. You can go from a quote to a submitted credit application in less than half an hour, and you'll spend less than an hour with us at pickup.

This page explains exactly how we sell at Summit Place Kia East: how prices are set, every fee you will see, and what happens at each step.

Who We Are

Summit Place Kia East is family owned, woman owned and veteran owned. Our Dealer Principal, Tania LaLonde, served in the U.S. Air Force, and she runs our stores with the same standards of service and integrity.

We are not a faceless chain. Every decision we make starts with one question: does it make buying and owning a Kia easier for our customers? That is why we price at dealer cost, list every fee, and stand behind every car with the Summit Place Promise.

How Our Prices Work

• Our advertised price is our dealer cost: what Kia charges us for that vehicle. We do not negotiate up from a sticker price, so you never have to haggle to get our best number.
• No market adjustments. We never add a markup above our advertised price, on any model.
• No forced add-ons. The only extra on every car is the Summit Place Promise, included at $0. Any accessory or product beyond that is shown with its own price, and you can always say no.
• One price everywhere. Our website, Cars.com, CarGurus and other listing sites show the same price. If you ever see a different one, tell us and we will honor the lower price.
• We'll beat any written offer. Bring us a written offer from any other Michigan Kia dealer within 100 miles on the same vehicle, and we'll beat it.
• Rebates shown honestly. If a price includes a Kia rebate, we list each rebate and who qualifies. Rebates that only some buyers qualify for are never baked into the headline price.

The Summit Place Promise, included on every car

Customer experience matters most to us, so every car we sell comes with the Summit Place Promise at no charge. You pay $0 for it, and it is never added to your price or paperwork.

• One year of key replacement. Lose or damage a key, and we replace it.
• One year of paintless dent repair. Door dings and small dents fixed without repainting.
• One year of exterior Repel coverage. Protection that keeps your paint looking brand new.

Every fee, explained

Your out-the-door price is the vehicle price plus the items below, and nothing else for all Michigan buyers. We show an estimated out-the-door price on every vehicle page.

Optional products, such as service contracts or GAP coverage, appear only if you choose them.

Buying from out of state? We're happy to help, with no extra fee for a cash purchase or outside financing. If you'd like us to arrange your financing, there is a $300 fee, plus any applicable state fees. We partner with a specialized service that handles your home state's sales tax, title and lien paperwork, so nothing gets mishandled.

Your Trade

Your online trade offer is based on a number of sources and a competitive vehicle set for your vehicle's year, mileage and condition. We honor that offer for 2 weeks and up to 1,000 more miles, as long as the vehicle matches what you described and is lot ready.

If something differs at inspection, such as damage or a warning light, we show you exactly what changed and how it affects the number. You can accept the new offer, sell your vehicle elsewhere, or keep it.

We pay off your existing loan or lease directly, and your trade value and payoff appear as separate lines on your paperwork.

Financing and Protection Products

You are welcome to bring your own financing; your vehicle price does not change either way. We work with Kia Finance and 35 other banks and credit unions to find you the most competitive rate, and your best deal.

Service contracts, GAP, tire and wheel, and other protection products are always optional. They are never required to get approved or to get our price. We show every product and its price on one menu, and you can decline any or all of them.

Pickup, delivery and out-of-state buyers

When your paperwork is done, choose a pickup time at Summit Place Kia East in Clinton Township. Your vehicle is ready when you arrive, and you'll spend less than an hour with us. In that time, you'll sit with a professional business manager committed to giving you the best ownership experience, learn all the benefits of Kia's manufacturer warranty, and get a full demonstration of your vehicle's features and functions from a sales consultant.

We deliver to your home or office within 50 miles of our Clinton Township store at no charge.

We're happy to sell to buyers outside Michigan, including Indiana and Ohio, with no extra fee for a cash purchase or outside financing. If you'd like us to arrange your financing, there is a $300 fee, plus any applicable state fees. We partner with a specialized service that handles your home state's sales tax, title and lien paperwork, so nothing gets mishandled and you never have to visit your local title office.
