Sorry, noob question. First time I've ever ordered a vehicle, so I'm not sure what to expect. I put down a $500 deposit. Waiting to see if it was accepted in KFOS this month. I just have a verbal agreement with the seller that they don't charge over MSRP. At what point should I expect to see (or ask to see) a final bill of sale with any extras (tax, title, etc.)? Obviously I'd rather see it well before delivery to avoid any surprises. I don't think I'm dealing with that kind of outfit, but prefer to play it safe. Appreciate your thoughts on this.

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...

When do you see a sales contract when ordering a Telly?

Did you sign anything with the price of the vehicle stated when you ordered? You typically won't get an actual sales contract until you're in the Finance office signing the paperwork.

I placed my order online without stepping foot in the dealership - the sales person emailed me a printout of the build from Kia's website with the price listed, and also the final price with tax added. I signed that sheet and returned it via email, then my order was placed and I was sent a copy of the KDealer entry.
I'd suggest reaching out to your salesperson and asking for something in writing with the price of the vehicle so they don't try to pull a fast one on you.

I only signed after the car arrived at the dealer. The basic timeline:
Order car and $500 hold/refundable deposit.
Kia picked up car in KFOS and non-fundable deposit taken (many dealers will not require this deposit)
Car arrives on dealer lot and photos are taken.
Apply to Kia Financing.
Sign sales contract.
It is important to work with a reputable dealer because they can always back out of the deal, and you will have waited months with nothing to show for it. FYI, mine did adjust my OTD pricing by ~$400 due to a incorrectly estimated taxes and fees. I didn't feel like arguing and risk losing the car after waiting half a year for it.

As long as you have an email or anything at all stating that your order is at MSRP, you should be fine. If it's truly just verbal on the phone, you pretty much have to wait and hope they honor it. Most dealers with policies that don't charge over MSRP will stay true to that.
