Kia of Columbia in Missouri

[Jsm172]

I didn't want to post my update because of the news as well smh. I was told because of the Moss Green I picked was the issue because they aren't making many of that color in the higher trim. Guess I got to choose something else.

I ordered dark moss as well

Wow, that’s crazy! I haven’t heard that! I thought that was a pretty popular color; I’m surprised there would be limitations on colors for higher trims at all.

Yeah I'm kind of shocked about it and not sure if it's truly the case.

I ordered dark moss as well

Can't believe they haven't finished picking up orders from August. Kind of makes me regretting with not going with I25 from Colorado.

For sure regretting it as well. Wish I would have researched the high volume dealerships closer to me. One thing I am curious about though is that KFOS hasn’t closed this month yet so my update could be before this months allocations are picked up. Praying that’s the case and the next update is the one

My newest update was nothing to update. Frustrating and I too am starting to regret not going with I25. I ordered early October so I’m still well within my quoted 4-6 months, but time will tell.

I wish they would have just have said it would be 4-6 months just to get picked up by KIA that would have made my decision easier. But realistically I know why they told everyone those timelines.

My order has been filled! Finally. Will be here Feb 7

Congrats! I finally took delivery of my Telly a few weeks ago.

I know the wait is painful, but hang in there y'all. It's worth the wait in my opinion.

 

[Jsm172]

Did you pick it up or ship it?

 

[Kaweeyaga]

I had it shipped to CA. Arrived in two days

Don’t mind me asking, how much did they quote you to ship it?

Don’t mind me asking, how much did they quote you to ship it?

The company that the dealer works with is Elite Transport. They quoted $1500 to CA. They later told me that they underquoted, but would honor their quote. Because of the holidays and omicron was beginning to rear it's ugly head, they had trouble booking a driver right away (they may not have been in a hurry knowing that they underbid). I started getting antsy knowing that my Telly was sitting in the lot for a couple weeks, so my impatience moved me to Montway. They got me booked with a driver within two days. They quoted around $1900, but eventually dropped to $1750 (open trailer). $150 deposit to Montway, $1600 COD to the driver.

 

[Jsm172]

Ok thanks. That’s a little more than I anticipated. Guess I’ll just drive up and get it

I'm assuming poor ownership/management, but that is only my guess.

What did they charge you to ship? I'm thinking of having mine shipped from MO to AL.

They told me 3-4 months start to finish. I am now at exactly four months and as far as I know it hasn't been picked up by KIA. They said they might know more middle of this month.
