Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
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...

Got my place in line for a '22 SX P on 5/28 at Cochran Kia outside of Pittsburgh. I came in knowing what I wanted and the salesperson just punched in all my preferences and sent me a text and email confirming my choices. I was told I would be contacted every two weeks (not sure how much they can really tell me very early on) and that the wait was 6 - 8 months as of right now. They charge MSRP and give you the out-the-door price, no games. Cochran also does not require any deposit. They just scan your ID to hold your place in line. I definitely recommend Cochran Kia if you are looking for MSRP and a quick and easy ordering process in the Pittsburgh area.
We ordered a Gravity Gray SX from them on March 15th, and so far nothing. They still say it will arrive in June, but I have not seen it in failcat yet. It's definitely a '22 model. We were told 10 days from VIN to leaving the factory for delivery. Hoping that's the case! Glad you had a good experience with them.

Was new pricing and updated features ever provided for the 2022s? Just curious what cost difference your may be paying with a 2022.

We were very lucky to get ours as quickly as we did. John was expecting ours to take 3 to 6 months. He was as surprised as we were.

Thank you so much for the recommendation to Carolina Kia and Patrick! I found this board last week after putting down a deposit on an SX FWD with a $5k markup! I am going to order from Patrick for a 2022! I am now busy deciding on what I want versus what was available!
Longironjake - I ordered a 2022 from Patrick today - he said he would reward you for the recommendation. Let me know if I can pass along your name to him. Thank you for the recommendation.

Tell Patrick Ed Marsh recommended him.
I got my Telluride today from Moritz Kia in Fort Worth. They were one of 2 dealers out of like 15+ I called in Texas selling at MSRP. I called about a month ago to see what they had coming in and put down $500 for an S trim. Got the call yesterday (on the exact day they said it’d be there) and flew out today from Houston. Process was very smooth. No bait and switch on pricing and they even picked me up from the airport. They do have a $898 dealer charge for lifetime tint and nitrogen that you can try to negotiate. I would definitely recommend them. I worked with Rick and Scott.

Any suggestions if trying to buy one in another state? I am in Maryland and tried to buy one from Outten Kia in PA. I was ready to place the deposit, gave them my address, and they said hang on and then told me the car was already sold. I had my wife call back and the car was indeed still available.
Renn Kirby in Gettysburg have some available from what i see.

Sussman Kia in Jenkintown PA told me proudly they sell all over the east coast at MSRP. I was quoted 3-4 months just the other day but my wait time at Murray is basically the same, so I'm sticking with my current order.
They didn't seem to have many in stock, though.
Try Timbrook Kia in Cumberland, MD. At MSRP, no BS. Ask for Michael Marvin.

Supposedly they sell at MSRP, but they also advertise presold cars. I would call first to see if they indeed are available.
I ordered mine from there at msrp.

Hendricks Kia of Cary NC has been great. I got a call from my sales guy this morning saying my order for my 2022 Telluride was placed in the system and accepted. He sent me a copy of the order as placed. Reaffirmed it will be at MSRP. The process has started.
I had a great experience here too. Ordered end of January 2021 and was told 16-20 weeks. Picked up a bit earlier at the end of April. MSRP, no surprises and no pressure for any add-ons or service packages at delivery. My salesperson kept me updated throughout the process and contacted me when ETA became available and when the VIN was created.
