Sure you can buy a kia sorento for 19500. bone freakin' stock. Once you put the options on (liike any car) it turns into a 30k car immediately.

I hate that about car advertising.... along with how they state crank hp #s then whp...
IT cost them no additional money to lower it at the factory, you just put on shorter springs. HEllo people!

Not really... If they made them with the lowering springs you know they would still offer them without as well (many people dont want their car lowered, even 1.25 inches). So that means two sets of parts to keep track of at the factory, more chance for mistakes because of this and more overhead. Then, how many would they build of each? And the biggest factor: They wouldnt be able to sell us the springs for $200 bucks or so that would cost them a fraction of that at the factory.
