Lunchtime appointment tomorrow to test drive and sign paperwork, pending in-person trade valuation.

Fingers crossed they treat me right, and I’ll be heading home in a 2021 Telluride!!

Great information all over the forum. Nice place y’all have created here.

What are you trading in? What color Telluride? What trim level?

 

[Tellmeride]

MSRP? Which dealer? Buy or lease?

@Senator20 trading a 16 4Runner. Creature comforts are outweighing absolute off-road ability as I get older and less interested. LOL!

They (Greenway Kia Franklin @Tellmeride ) have three almost identical EX AWD with Premium and Nightfall, in black, white, and wolf gray. I’m almost certain I want the gray, but I need to see it in person. Always a chance they sell it today, but I’d be ok with either of the other colors.

I drive too many miles to lease, so I’ll be purchasing “at MSRP” pending their offer on my trade. The 4Runner is almost as hot as the Telluride in my area (Nashville) at the moment, so I’m hoping they stick pretty close to the quote they gave me.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. What will the Telluride be replacing for you? I'm glad you found us.

Well........ imagine that. The first offer sheet they brought me had a $12,000 markup added.

Scooped my keys up off the desk and walked out. Wasted a 20-mile drive, each way.

How infuriating! I’m not even entirely sure I want to give Kia my money at all anymore.

Those markups aren’t like that everywhere. Shop around

I know. I even mentioned that to the sales manager as he chased me out the door. He said, “good luck”. I don’t like dealing with companies who employ folks who lie and then have that kind of response when called on it. I wouldn’t have even gone today if not for the “sticker price” promise they made me. Who knew it would be their bump-sticker?!?

The unfortunate part is I bet they sell it to somebody which means they’ll keep adding the markup to future inventory

 

[Mainfinger]

Pfft you could pay 3k more and get an sx they think 12000 on an exp is okay? Screw that. I’d tell em after that bs 12000 stunt the only way you buy from them is -1000 msrp if they want your business holler at your boy.

wish you luck wolf gray is the way.

They offered MSRP in conversation with you and then added 12k in person? That's abominable!

 

[Familyman20]

Damn sorry to hear. $12k is steep even for Southern CA! And on an EX at that You'll find one they're becoming more and more available. Plenty of resources here to find one now too

They did. More specifically, the salesman texted me, “we sell at sticker price, with no dealer fees”.

Someone will buy it for sure. The dealership is in one of the top 5 wealthiest counties in the United States. They’ll knock somebody’s head off..... but it won’t be mine!!

 

[ohmykia]

those guys @ Greenway are dirtballs, had the same thing happen to me.

The most annoying part is I refuse to go to them for service - about to hit my 1st oil change and plan to drive to Murfreesboro
