• 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...

The KIA Telluride in Black Copper

My Black Copper vehicle is now 2 weeks away. Today, I talked with the dealer and picked out some accessories:

- Cross Bar
- Mudflaps
- Floor mats (may be better to buy generic)
- Lighted Scuff Plate Door Entry

The dealer asked me if I was interested in the Ceramic Coating package. It includes the following:
- Lifetime ceramic coating warranty
- Lifetime interior warranty (fading, puncture, etc) for all surfaces including carpet, headliner, seats, plastic surfaces, etc...
- Remote starter that works up to 1 mile away
- Rust proof warranty for lifetime

The price was $4200. I thought that was too much. I have a 3rd party quote for a ceramic coating package for $1900 with lifetime warranty.

I plan to keep the car for 9 years, and then possibly hand down to my then-16yr old son.

What does this group think??? Thanks!

Way too much.
 
Too much and I would go to a specialist to get ceramic done.
 
Too much. Get PPF on front and ceramic the rest.... for way less.

This looks like the railroad delivery route, with the numbers being each day of transit. CSX routing. Birmingham, Nashville, Cleveland, and Albany are all possible block swap locations (switch cars in and out of trains) and Louisville is CSX's biggest hub center for sorting railroad cars carrying motor vehicles. There's a CSX auto transload facility from rail to truck between Framingham and Worcester, MA.

I think a truck delivery would have run a more direct route, especially with the huge market in the Northeast.

I got this from my dealer yesterday. This could be a truck full of Black Copper Tellurides! I’m the last stop in MA ETA 6/27. Hope this helpful for any of you waiting. View attachment 1588
 
Got a phone call that my vehicle is at the dealer. The parts department is putting on the parts I ordered (Scuff Plates, Mudguards, Cross Bars, Floor Mats). Hoping to have it tomorrow! Original order date was 3/29. Location Northern Chicago Suburbs.

What dealer and I'll pick it up for you ;)
Congrats!
 
What seems to be the average time between getting a VIN or notification that it's on the line and delivery?

Did anyone else add any dealer options to their vehicle? If so - did the dealer charge installation on top of the price for the options listed on the website? I've ordered - Scuff Plates, Cross Bars, Mud Flaps and Mud Gaurds. The price online is $945 for these parts, but the dealer wants to charge me $1400 to install them. Does that seem consistent with other people's experience?

If you are handy, all of these are easy installations. Take the parts and install them yourself.

However, as the prices listed online to add them to your vehicle include installation, I would expect installation to be included in the $945.00.

I ordered on 3/29 and I expect to pick up on 6/21
Our orders are near identical (order date and delivery). I got a call from my dealer letting me know that my SXP arrived to this morning! I’m finalizing paperwork and hopefully will be able to take delivery this weekend.

Awesome man. Enjoy. Mine will be ready next week, they have to wait on one of the dealer installed parts.
 
Picked up the Telluride today. Very happy with the color choice, it looks amazing. It really does. Within the first mile of driving, a guy in a pickup truck started honking at me. At the red light he told me he ordered his 1 month ago! This car gets some attention. The teenage valet at dinner said it was bad ass.

Congrats man! That does look amazing! Mine came in too but it was cloudy the day I went in to check it out and do paperwork. I’ll be picking up in a few days. Love that color when the sun hits it! Enjoy the ride.

That is a stunning color, congrats!

The dealer told me they are not making anymore Black Copper with Dune Brown prestige package models. I don't know why, has anyone heard similar?

They better still be making them, for I have an ETA of next Friday. I ordered mine on March 21 and hopefully my wait will be over this time next week. May I ask where you guys are located so maybe I can see the areas that are being shipped.
 
I ordered on 3/29. I think you are fine, but they aren't taking new orders for black copper with dune brown and prestige - is my understanding anyway. You will love the car. I just keep staring at it.
 
I’m sure yours will arrive since it’s an existing order. I ordered mine on 3/27 and located in MA.
