Warrenton Kia Sells One Brand.
We Sell Freedom.
Kia makes great cars. But what if you want a Honda? A Toyota? A Subaru?
At Warrenton Kia, you'd need to visit a different lot.
Rockhound Auto brokers every make and model across Oregon & Washington — with zero pressure, transparent pricing, and savings that average $3,200–$8,200 per deal.
The Single-Brand Dilemma
Here's what happens when you walk into a single-brand dealership with an open mind.
You arrive wanting options
You've done your research. You're open to a Honda CR-V, a Toyota RAV4 — maybe a Subaru Forester. You just want the best deal for your family.
The lot has… Kias
"We have the Sportage, the Sorento, the Telluride…" Great cars. But you wanted to compare across brands. That's not an option here.
You leave with a Kia (or nothing)
Either you settle for what's on the lot, or you drive home empty-handed after 3 hours. Neither is ideal. There's a better way.
The Rockhound Way
Tell us what you want. We source it from every dealer across Oregon & Washington, negotiate the best price, and deliver it to you. No lot. No pressure. No single-brand limitation.
Know Before You Go
Common tactics you'll encounter at single-brand dealerships — and how to spot them.
"This Deal Expires in 10 Minutes"
The urgency is manufactured to prevent you from shopping around.
💡 Take your time. The deal will still be there tomorrow — often better, because they need to hit their monthly quota.
The Warranty You Didn't Ask For
Paint protection, fabric coating, gap insurance — all "bundled in" before you even sit down.
💡 Ask for an itemized breakdown. Everything should be optional, not mandatory.
The Trade‑In Lowball
Single dealers offer one price. No competition means no incentive to offer fair value.
💡 Get multiple offers. Competition drives fair pricing — that's how we get you $3,000–$5,000 more.
The Monthly Payment Shuffle
Stretching your loan to 84 months hides the real cost of the vehicle.
💡 Always ask for the total price, interest rate, and loan term — not just the monthly payment.
The Fair Fight
No spin. Just the facts.

What We Don't Have
(And Why That's Good)
Yes, Warrenton Kia has things we don't. Let's be honest about all of them.
They have
A Service Department
We have
Your money still in your wallet
Their service dept is great for maintenance and repairs. We help you buy a reliable vehicle so you spend less time at the service counter and more time on the road.
They have
Brand New Kias
We have
Every brand, new or used, at better prices
New cars are wonderful. They also depreciate $8,000–$12,000 the moment you leave the lot. We find you the sweet spot — low miles, full warranty, fraction of the depreciation hit.
They have
A Parts Department
We have
No parts upsells on your way out
We don't have a parts counter, which means we have no incentive to recommend parts or services you don't need. Your mechanic, your choice.
They have
A Big Shiny Showroom
We have
Lower overhead = lower prices for you
That gorgeous showroom with the espresso machine and the 60‑inch screens costs money to maintain. Our overhead is lean. That savings goes directly into your deal.
Real People. Real Savings.
No actors. No stock photos. Just folks from around here.
"I was at Warrenton Kia, pen in hand, about to sign for $52,000. My husband said "call Rockhound first." Best phone call I ever made. Same Telluride, $45,200. We used the difference to finally fix the deck."

"Warrenton Kia offered me $8,500 for my trade. Rockhound got me $12,200 — and then found me a Honda CR‑V because, turns out, I wanted to compare across brands. Great experience."
David R.
Seaside, OR · Honda CR‑V
Saved: $3,700 on trade‑in alone
"They said the deal expired that day. I left, called Rockhound, and got the same Sorento for $4,200 less with zero drama. Turns out the deal didn't expire after all."
