I had a call from my Sales consultant today, 5/15/21, that my ESP AWD NF will be a 2022 . He also said the MSRP has a 600.00 markup(from the factory not the dealer).
Can you let me know when you placed your order and when you are supposed to bet the car. We placed an order on April 28 but haven’t been assigned a build date or anything. Frustrating to say the least.
My order was given to the sales consultant, with a 500.00 deposit on March 17th 2021. Have not received a build date as of yet. My dealer is a small allocation dealer, so it could be awhile,but I can wait. Just sold my 2016 Ford Expedition, so don't want the hassle of a trade in. I'v been on this Forum for a while now listening and learning.
So I have done a bit of research on the delivery time frame of “ordered” Tellurides. I believe the ordering for 2021 models ended on April 30. That being said if you can wait it out, you will be getting a 2022 model. So they haven’t announced pricing or options for the 2022 model yet. I suspect it should be some time in June. So with a June date for release of pricing and options, that means they can’t put in orders and get ETA till sometime in Jume, probably late June. Now production time is another issue. I really suspect that they will start to deliver these 2022 models in very late August to September. The deposit that the dealer had you put down is merely a psychological tool to “take” you out of the market and shopping for other cars or at other dealers. Hate to burst your bubble but I’m in the same boat as you. I may just go ahead and get a GMC Yukon instead. But, GMC has the same issues as KIa at this time. Hope for Agust but expect September. if you have any contrary information or other theories as to how this will play out, please let me know. I should inform you that I placed an order about a month ago and still nothing from the dealer.
That's very similar to the situation last year. Many of us submitted an order with a dealer early in the year (which is really nothing more than holding a place in line). Last year the pandemic complicated matters and slowed things down. This year the global silicon shortage is creating delays. In any event, eventually the place in line turns into a factory-accepted order, and some time after that you'll be get a ship date. It's a long process, but most of us who went through it last year have been satisfied with the outcome. Hang in there!
So....do these come with your MANDATORY protection package (aka Market Adjustment)?
I didn't get my failcat fix today....plus inquiring minds wanna know
Can you comment on when they were ordered? I suspect that you must work at a preferred dealership. My dealer isn’t giving me any hope. Oh well. We ordered a SX nightfall. Not sure if that would make a difference?
