    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...

But finally we got what we wanted. We are so excited and happy 😊

As mentioned in my previous posts we almost had our vehicle from nowcar.com. We had to cancel that transaction because of personal emergency. To their credit they happily refunded 500$ deposit. This was only because the vehicle I chose was from their inventory. Nathaly and the entire nowcar team are amazing. I would definitely do business with them in future.

Coming to the actual story, it was a similar process like everyone. Check in failcat everyday for the build I wanted (sx fwd dark moss/butterscotch). I made lot of calls everyday and not a single dealer would budge on markups. Some even quoted 15k over MSRP. I will compile a list and post it in bad dealers section later. Like a needle in haystack we found this amazing dealership, very small I mean literally very small dealership (Kia of Canton) in Canton MI willing to sell for MSRP. They have 5-6 sales people and 1 finance manager (previously sales consultant) and 1 general sales manager. They are very intimate group willing to help each other and go above an beyond for they customers. JR - general sales manager is awesome and straightforward. He mentioned that they can easily get some profit out of these tellurides but does not want to and I really respect that. Matthew (finance manager) is amazing individual. No pushy sales tactics, very helpful, good to speak to and has all the information for your questions. Last but not least Stacy Hogan, my sales consultant she was amazing to deal with. Very helpful, willing to talk to and responsive. Jake, Ricky other sales consultants who helped me in Stacy’s absence made me feel really comfortable and answered my questions with patience. Finally, thanks to Beck (detailer) for picking me from airport on time and making the ride comfortable. I felt like I met a small family who are intimate, very close to each other, went above and beyond to serve their customers.

I will recommend Kia of Canton Michigan for anyone looking to buy telluride at MSRP. Ask for anyone in sales, literally anyone, they are all amazing and tell them Sait from Atlanta referred you.

Sure. Will do. I drove the car yesterday back to Atlanta. It will need a good hand car wash 🧼. Ride quality of this vehicle is amazing. Small potholes, big potholes does not matter. Kudos to Kia for bringing this vehicle out. It is incredible value for the price and has all the features a family needs. Couple of pics when I took a break in the rest area.

Nice photos !!

Any more that you take, including some doors wide open shots that give us a peek of the Butterscotch against the Dark Moss Exterior are welcome too :)

Enjoy your Telluride.

I love driving mine every day.

Tried Sport Mode yet?

So much fun :)
 
I didn’t try sport mode much yesterday because of all the traffic on i-75 but will definitely try today. I will post interior pics as well. I am also in lookout of accessories and other goodies for my Telly. All weather mats, cargo cover are my immediate priorities. Any other essentials you guys recommend? Like specific tint for front windows and paint protection etc..?

Haha.. not sure if running boards are priority for us but we are definitely looking for bunch of other accessories like all weather mats, cargo seat back cover, splash guards etc..

Here are some interior pics of butterscotch with Dark moss. This was in the evening. I will take few more tomorrow afternoon under direct sunlight ☀️. For some reason butterscotch seats are looking like beige here but they are much darker.
