Performance and Pricing The 2015 Kia Cadenza uses its 3.3-liter V6 to create 293 hp and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. The Cadenza has a front-wheel-drive drivetrain and an automatic transmission. The estimated fuel economy rating for the Cadenza is 19/28 mpg. Interior Comforts The 5-passenger Cadenza is loaded with comfort amenities.

Safety technology and devices in the Cadenza include ABS, vented disc brakes, stability control, traction control, Bi-Xenon headlights, surround view monitor, fog lights, and intermittent rain windshield wipers.

There are specific terms and conditions to car leases which normally do not allow you to make any modifications to the vehicle. You are required to return the vehicle with its original equipment and in the condition it was originally leased from El Paso car dealerships. Otherwise, you are charged excessive penalties and fees for making modifications. However, there are several temporary modifications you can make, so long as you remove them before returning the vehicle at the end of the lease. Vinyl Wrap: Vinyl allows you to safely modify the exterior of the vehicle, such as adding graphics, secondary colors, or changing the color of full sections of the vehicle. Vinyl does not harm the paint and is removable at the end of the lease. Windowing Tinting: Certain types of window tinting are removable. Just make sure to check the local laws in your area regarding which windows may be tinted and the darkness of the tint. Upgraded Tires: You can upgrade the tires to different ones from the ones that originally came on the vehicle. If the original tires are not worn out and do not need to be replaced, you will want to keep the original ones and put them back on the vehicle before returning it at the end of the lease. Upgraded Wheels: You can change out the wheels for fancier or sportier wheels than came on the vehicle. It is important to keep the original wheels so you have them when you return the car. Carbon Fiber/Chrome Parts: You can swap out parts with carbon fiber and chrome parts to give the vehicle a more stylish look. Again, keep the original parts, as you will need them later. Plastic Dip: This is a special rubberized coating you can apply to various areas of the car to change the color of various components. It is easy to peel off the rubber coating when you want to remove it and return the vehicle. Electronic Components: It is okay to swap out stereo systems and other electronic components with different ones. You have to be careful when working with electrical systems to not damage the vehicle or the components you remove. Store the removed components, since you need to reinstall them at the end of the lease. It is recommended that you have a professional perform any of the modifications you want to make, to prevent causing damage to the vehicle, its systems, or the parts and components you swap out. Prior to returning the vehicle at the end of your lease, you have to remove all temporary modifications and reinstall any original equipment you replaced. Even if you intend to purchase the vehicle, it still has to be returned with the original equipment. For more information about car leases, feel free to visit or call Integrity Kia at 915-856-2982.

Add-ons are extras offered to people purchasing new and used vehicles from dealerships in El Paso. Some people say it is not worth the extra money to purchase add-ons, while others prefer the protection they provide. In the end, it is entirely up to you to decide whether you want to purchase add-ons, and which ones you want. Take the time to review the following list of add-ons to learn what they are and how they are beneficial: Extended Warranties: Extended warranties provide protection for your new or used vehicle after the original manufacturer’s warranty expires. If the original manufacturer’s warranty is not going to end before you pay off the car, then you may not want to purchase extended coverage. However, if the original warranty is going to end before the car if paid off, it is recommended to purchase extended coverage until the end of your loan. This way, if anything major goes wrong, you are not hit with an expensive repair bill and still have to worry about making your car payment. Prepaid Service Agreements: Prepaying for certain services can save you money in the long run. These types of agreements cover oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacements, and other repairs not covered under warranties. When you purchase a prepaid service agreement, you normally get a discount and are paying today’s prices. If the costs of oil, brakes, or other parts or labor goes up, you do not have to worry, since you already prepaid your services. GAP and Life Insurance: GAP insurance covers the difference between what your insurance company pays and what is owed on your loan in the event the car is totaled. If you put down a large down payment, or if the vehicle does not depreciate quickly, then you do not need GAP insurance. Life insurance pays off the loan in the event you pass away unexpectedly. It is important to read exactly what accidental deaths are covered to decide whether you really need the coverage. All add-ons can be included into your car financing program at the time of purchase, too. Depending upon which ones you select, your monthly payments are only an extra $5 to $20 each month. If you have a hard time setting aside money for repairs, or do not have an existing life insurance policy, it is beneficial to consider purchasing add-ons at the time of sale. If you decide not to purchase any add-ons when purchasing El Paso cars for sale, you still have the option to buy certain ones later on. Keep in mind, you could be required to pay the full amount upfront for the add-on or, if payment options are offered, they are paid separately from your monthly car payment. For more information and details about add-ons available with a new or used car, feel free to visit Integrity Kia or call 915-856-2982.

If you have bad credit, it can make it challenging to obtain financing from car dealerships in El Paso, Texas. You might think your only option for purchasing a used car is to go to one of those “buy here pay here” dealers. The only problem with many of these dealerships is that they provide the financing and do not report your payment history to the major credit bureaus. As a result, your credit does not get rebuilt. Further, the vehicle selection you are presented with could be limited. Not to mention, the amount of your payments can be much higher than if you took the time to explore other options. You also have to watch out for certain sales tactics used by less reputable El Paso used cars dealers. These dealers know you need a car and engage in shady practices to prey upon your credit situation. It is better to learn what these are and avoid them. The last thing you want to do is create more of a financial burden and possibly not be able to afford your new used car. Never drive off with the used car until financing has been approved. Some dealers may insist everything is going to be fine, and tell you to go ahead and drive home with your new used vehicle. A short time later, you get a phone call saying you were not approved and have to return the vehicle. At this point, you are either stuck accepting financing with a much higher interest rate, or lose some or all of your down payment, since the dealer charges you for the time you had the vehicle in your position. Never rely upon verbal promises and assurances. The goal of less reputable dealers is to sell the car by getting it financed anyway possible. They might ask you for a larger down payment or say you need a co-signer. They promise you are going to be primary on the loan, only for you to discover later that the loan is actually in the co-signer’s name. Take the time to request everything be put in writing, and read every term and condition on any contracts and sales agreements before you sign them. Fortunately, “buy here pay here” dealers are not your only option for purchasing a used car with bad credit. There are several brand name car dealers in El Paso that feature special programs to assist people with bad credit. These programs are designed to help you rebuild your credit while providing you access to a high quality used vehicle. In addition, programs for brand name dealers are reported to the major credit bureaus, so, as long as you make your payments on time, your credit can improve. Once your car is fully paid off, it makes it easier to obtain another car loan, as well as financing for other purposes, such as purchasing a home. For more information about programs to overcome credit problems, stop by today, or contact Integrity Kia at 915-856-2982.

If you're ever in the neighborhood of our Las Cruces Kia Dealership, you should drop by and take a look at this year's Optima LX, a great car for the whole family. Few cars in the mid-size sedan segment will be this affordable, economical and, above all, safe than this upstanding member of the Kia clan. The LX is the most basic of all trims, but don't let that put you off as Kia still offers a generous amount of accessories in their basic models. Starting out at just over $21,000, this really is a highly affordable car, and that is without taking the great fuel economy into account. The Optima gets 23 miles to the gallon in cities and 34 on the highway, a real winner in its segment. More important than anything else, though, is of course the safety of you and your family as you travel. The Optima LX comes with a wide range of functions that will ensure you make it to your destination in one piece, from electronic traction and stability control, anti-lock disc brakes and air bags that will protect you from all sides should the worst happen. In fact, the government put the Optima through their crash tests and awarded the sedan five stars out of five for safety performance, which the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety agreed with. Both of the pronouncements make us feel very confident in recommending the Optima to you and your family.

The Koup is a two-door that gives anything else in its class a run for its money with generous basic accessories that make the estimated $18,500 price tag a real bargain. The main selling point of the Koup EX in our eyes is its engine: the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces up to 173 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque, making it go from zero to 60 in 8.1 seconds. This is a real accomplishment for a coupe and makes it zip along the road like no other.

When you’re shopping for a new vehicle, one of the things that you will want to take a look at is the upholstery. To some people the type of upholstery is no big deal, and to others it might make all the difference. Our Kia dealer in El Paso helps you decide on leather or cloth upholstery. There are benefits and drawbacks to both. Leather Upholstery For starters, leather is the more expensive option. If you’re at all concerned about cutting corners and saving a few bucks, then leather might not be for you. Leather obviously smells better, though, and it is classier looking. It is easier to clean, too. In most cases you can just easily wipe away dirt and spills, but if you want to keep it looking nice you have to maintain it, which can be a bit of a hassle. A drawback of leather is that it is not the most comfortable. It tends to get very hot in the summer months, and very cold in the winter months. Cloth Upholstery Cloth is popular because it is affordable. Another reason why it is popular is because it is comfortable. No matter what the weather or the temperature is outside, cloth upholstery is generally comfortable no matter what. You won’t stick to it or slide around on it. The drawbacks of cloth are that it looks cheap and it is harder to clean. If something spills on your cloth seats it can be difficult to wipe off, and it may very well leave a stain.
