Ayala acquires Kia Philippines

**Verbl Kint** · February 6th, 2018 03:56 AM

An official announcement is due soon but my guys have told me that it's all done and dusted from a decision-making standpoint.

There were three parties supposedly interested in acquiring what used to be CAC's distributorship, with two of these being more serious bids: Ayala and Phoenix.

Rumor has it the guys back in the Seoul home office wanted Ayala even if Phoenix had a more compelling bid.

This should certainly make the PH car market a lot more interesting considering CAC has not had a good stewardship of the Kia brand for a long time now.

Ano kaya ang discount/promo offer sa pagbili ng Kia vehicles ngayon for ARC members?

Sana hindi lang libreng full tank ng fuel..

From the GSM of the dealership I go to, the only thing missing is the announcement. But, for the moment, CAC is still calling the shots. At the start of the year, CAC increased the price of the Sportage by 30k in anticipation of TRAIN. When the first batch of units arrived, we had only 2 color choices since our chosen color wasn’t available in that batch. For some of us who have reserved or paid for our units last December, we were promised a protection from price increases come 2018. I heard that a buyer was insisting on a color choice that wasn’t offered in the first batch so the price protection guarantee was not honored anymore by CAC. He had to pay the 2018 prices.

Kahit yung 2.0L turbo AWD, puwede na.

Gawin lang nila realistic ulit yung price ng Carnival, sure it will be sold like hotcakes.

Kahit with TRAIN prices atleast nasa 1.8m-1.9m, ok na.

Kia vehicles will be an option together with the others - Honda, VW, and Isuzu.

However, employees availing of a car plan can avail of non-group partner vehicles except that group-partner are offered with better discounts.
