Hey all. The wife and I are looking at Telluride sized SUVs. Pretty much narrowed it down to Telluride, Palisade, and Highlander.
We haven't been able to test drive any yet but as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer we'll be trying these out.
We're looking at mid to late summer purchase date.
BTW, we're coming from an Infiniti Q50. It's a blast to drive but we want a little more room.

I'm sure I'll be asking some questions throughout the process.

Thanks,
Jerry

Welcome fellow Illinoian. If you can't find a dealer near you that sells at MSRP, give Mike Miller in Peoria a call.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm just outside of Springfield so that wouldn't be much of a drive at all.

I agree. Negotiate on the correct MSRP. Once the VIN is available u can put the number in on Kia Website and see the correct price as well as estimated price for dealer to sell. Whatever you do do not fall into a trap where u end up paying thousands over msrp for stuff like special lug locks for the wheels, paint protection, etc. I just bought a dark moss S model and they were asking $39,523. I was about to walk but was able to negotiate to 37,500.

I am not familiar with the other two vehicles you listed. Just start with the Telluride. I promise you will NOT be dissappointed. Happy Shopping

East Peoria IL here....I bought mine in Quincy. Great dealer, gives very high trade value.

Welcome....If your planning a summer purchase, do take in consideration the waiting period for the KT.

Lots of info here for you to read up on. Good luck.

The waiting period has me a bit concerned. We return our leased Q50 in Nov. I was hoping to have the new before then, ideally by Aug-Sept.
I see plenty of Tellurides on lots that are available but of course not one with the specifics I'm looking for. This might be challenging.

Thanks for the tips and kind welcome.

I think you have time to get the KT with the specs you want. I'd go for a test drive and see if this car is worth waiting for.
You can also possibly avoid paying surcharge if you find the right place for you to get your order.

Thanks again. The weather is starting to look a bit better so I can see test drives in our near future.
As bad as I want to test drive one if these, the first thing I'm doing when the weather breaks is getting some thick NY strips and firing up my grill. Priorities right?
