    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Hello forum, this is my first foray in here and eager to get (and share) advice, starting with this question: has anyone had experience purchasing a new Telly thru a new car concierge service? We’re super busy at work and haven’t had a favorable experience with retail dealers, and are considering a pro to handle everything. I’ve read hiring the right concierge charges a flat fee in exchange for finding a better price and negotiating thru all the headaches and even delivery. Thanks!
 
Interesting concept and something I’ve never heard. I’ll be watching to see how this progresses.

You don't really need that unless you want to pay for that service. Just post where you are located, which trim/combo you're looking for and someone will share dealers you can order from. A few months wait time. If you need it now, then there are a couple of dealers you could check with - and again, forum members can point you to those.

If you choose a car buying service, the first question you should ask is: have you bought a Telluride successfully off the lot for someone else for anywhere close to MSRP?

Buying a Kia is frustrating, yes - it's not like buying an Audi or luxury vehicle where there is plenty of inventory relative to sales numbers.

Thx for quick reply! Within this forum, where can I post our ‘wishlist’, here or in a particular thread? I believe what you’re saying given supply doesn’t match demand.

Yes, you can post it in this thread or post in a new thread. Also, check the Dealer Inventory section under the forum title "How to Buy..."

Also, this post is a great resource for more info.

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

Glad to be here! New Telly will replace an older Honda Civic... we want a new forever larger car to travel in (style!)

Good choice.

Your passengers will thank you for the amazing amount of leg room. Big, bold, and boxy gives a lot of space inside. Best second row seats ever, and if you go for the highest trim level, there's heated and cooled 2nd row too :)
