What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

[critrider]

Palisade has been popular in Korea. They are waiting several months for Palisade in Korea just like Telluride in the US. I expect Palisade will be in great demand here, but I think it will be less popular than Telluride. I'm just guessing the fully loaded Palisade will be priced around 48K.

The Palisade yearly production number appears to be around 60000 units. Its sold world wide including Korea. Don't expect it to put much of a damper on Telluride sales/demand.

Do you have any screen shots of the lease incentives? What I have seen is $4100 for 2 year lease - $2800 for 3 year lease - plus additional $400 if you qualify for Military

Sorry, none of the people I've worked with have requested leasing.

Man, I just left a dealership with an awesomely terrible experience. I read here about people paying 535 out the door on a 0 money down 3yr 36000 mile lease on an EX, went to a dealership and while running my numbers he literally told me about how someone just walked out paying that same 535 a month. We are +2000 on our trade in and for the hell of it we could add 1000-1500 cash, don't want to put too much down on a lease. Salesman comes back and tells me he can do 585!!!!!!! I just spoke to another dealership who called me the second I got home to tell me he got an EX in this morning, gave him all the same details and he told me they can do 497... which still seems high to put 3k more down and only save 38 dollars a month. So frustrated, I guess I'll just wait for the Palisade and the market for this car to level out.

Just don’t put any LIVE money into depreciating asset, buy some stocks with 3k you’ll have 5 in 2y.

Well only 1k of it is live money, the other 2 come from the trade-in. I'll revisit the lease after the sales cool down a bit, same thing happened when the Pilot came out, it'll slow down eventually.

Is the first number 585 or 535? Anyway go to the Kia website and "build" your EX, assuming no packages, no options, MSRP $38000. tab onto the calculate payment link and plug in a 0 downpayment, 2000 trade in, 12000 annual miles you get $420 without sales tax, using Kia's own formula. On 4 April I ordered an AWD SX Prestige for 543 + tax monthly. Those dealers are way above MSRP. You might be curious enough to ask what cap cost numbers they are using.

I was quoted 585 a month with 3k down for an EX, after being told that someone left there paying 535 with 0 down the other day.

Yeah the calculator's numbers is what drove me to the dealership, but no dealer around here is close to those numbers. We have an Equinox financed that we're paying 430 a month on and we can get 2k by trading it in, I wanted to be in the 450-480 range on a lease because my daily commute would work for a lease and upgrade the equinox.

Did you put any money down to get to 543? Because with that deal I feel with 3k down and an AWD SX non prestige I could be mighty close to the 480 number. The more and more I read and call around, I think it'll be in my best interest to wait a few months and let this market cool down.

Other rebate information. If you have one of the below vehicles or know someone who does, all you need is the VIN of the vehicle and you qualify for another $1000, this can be combined with the $1000 loyalty rebate. These rebates do not require a trade in.

Sure, but say you're keeping it and not trading it in, worst case add the vehicle to your insurance and then immediately cancel after you get your digital insurance card. As long as you present a VIN the rebate should be valid, especially if it's on your insurance card. I used the progressive app to provide them the VIN. Keep in mind, all you really need is the VIN and to say that you own it, past that you don't have to divulge any other information.

We gave a $2000 deposit which will be the down payment.

On Kia Canada's website they offer military an extra $500 off. I went to my local dealership today to test drive a Telluride for the first time and I asked them about the discount. To my surprise they said that not only do I get that $500 discount from Kia, their dealership sells their vehicles to members of the military for only 2% above their cost so no haggling required. They said it was stackable to whatever Kia is offering off as well. Being in the military, that was a fantastic surprise!!

Ended up getting supposedly $2500 in rebates and another $500 off for a Gray EX with towing package, no other options except floormats, cargo net etc. My Price was $36250 + TTL, did the 48 months at 1.9% with $5000 down, not sure my wife cared so much about $5k down, but she did. Our payments are something like $735 a month. Oh and this was at Clay Cooley Kia in Irving, Texas.

Who did you work with at Clay Cooley? I live in Ft Worth.

His name is Justin, he's a bit eccentric. Let me know if you're looking I'll get $100 if I refer you I'll split it with you.

I am looking... no need to split if he can work with me and possibly get a deal. Thanks for the info

Don't put ANY money down on a lease. Never. You are renting the vehicle. Why put money down on someone else's asset? Keep YOUR money and apply it to your payment or invest it!.

I understand what you're saying. But in my case, the difference between $2000 and $0 down is $60 additional a month. $60 x 36 is $2160. So I'm saving about $53 a year (160 ÷ 3). It's only a 2.5% return on the $2000 investment, it's a very safe investment. I suppose I loose if I total the car driving out of the dealer, but I'll take my chances on that.

Statistically, you're very unlikely to total the car during the lease period, so that seems a reasonable risk. If you were really worried about losing the downpayment, you could always buy a rider for your insurance policy to cover the possible loss of the downpayment.

Yup, it hasn't happened.....yet. Biggest worry is loosing the $2800 incentive if delivery is after 30 June, and the incentives are discontinued.

The way I understand it, is they would have to be co signers on the loan for them to give you the rebate
