Order to delivery time

my salesman signed my order showing the order price including the shipping cost. But there is a comment that a market adjustment could be added. I’ve read that adjustment was around $300. Many thousands over your price that you agreed to -which made you go ahead with the order is worthy of news coverage. This highway robbery is a hot topic and the media should report it.
Market adjustment means when your car finally arrives you may have to pay up to $8000 in market adjustment. Customers have had cars on order they are now coming in and they are getting informed that the order at MSRP is not happening and a market adjustment just raised your cost by thousands.

Get your salesman to add an addedum to your bill of sale/contract/agreement that says market adjustment will not exceed factory directed costs increases and any adjustments will be reflected in the KIA Factory applied window sticker showing MSRP. Bet they wont do it for you. This will then tell you what your up against. Move on now rather than wait for the bad news. Two Words. BUYER BEWARE You dont have ot take my word for it check with a lawyer the terminolgy market adjustment has no valid direct meaning and could mean any one of hundreds of reasons all which will cost you directly with no way out.
 
Yes, I emailed the GM on Monday, was told that all KIA systems was down. Tuesday-nothing. I emasiled again this morning and he responded "your order is still in unfilled status which means there is not an actual ETA yet" he attached request details but unable to open the attachment.
Its called the run around. Once you place an order you will not know anything until after it is acknowledged by KIA. That could take months. Then tie will go y and a VIN number will be assigned. Right now your Market Adjustment notation is going to be a blind side.
 
There are dealers in PA who advertise that they sell at MSRP with no markup.....Not sure I can post a dealer name here, but it begins with Co..... out of Pittsburgh.
 
Wondering if people can start posting when they ordered and when they received their Kia (or at least the vin).

I ordered an sx prestige with tow on March 13. Nothing yet.

Many of the threads here have gotten hare to follow woth with the side conversations, it would be helpful to just keep this to dates for people’s reference.
I ordered sept 7 th nothing been told since March I’m first to be picked. But looks like others bumped ahead. So frustrating bc I have waited a long time and hate the 2023.

Knowledges by Kia as in they accept the build? If so I got that soon after the order was submitted.
 
Ordered SX Nightsky earlier this month (May 2022) and was told an ETA of around 11 months (Canada).

So frustrating to hear other people getting them after 4-6 weeks and I have already been waiting over 12 weeks. I know there are others that have/are waiting longer than that. I have the actual cost that I am supposed to be pay when it does arrive, are you saying they can change the price? I know that the dealer that I ordered it from has not added a Market Adjustment in the past.

What is their deposit? I ordered with Moritz Ft Worth in March.
I also ordered mine from there, when did you order yours? Have you received any updates? I was told that this dealership was not adding in an upcharge.

I called this morning and they don't have mine on any list of incoming, but to call back next month after the 9th. I ordered on March 9th.

People getting them after 4-6 weeks are the outliers that probably received one that was a canceled order. 4-6 months would probably be on the faster to average wait time currently.
 
I ordered mine in October 2021 and am just getting it Tomorrow so yes the waits are running about 6 to 12 months right now depending on allocations to the dealers. Also if you order one make sure you stipulate MSRP is what your paying being your waiting that long. Paying over MSRP should only be happening if the vehicle is on the lot not special orders.

Cool.
 
It took 9 months but he just arrived. Worth the wait. Patience is a virtue…

I got an ETA yesterday! I ordered in February from a higher volume dealer and was quoted 4 to 6 months. ETA is 6/26 and the salesperson confirmed it will be a 2022 model.

She also said anyone that ordered from this dealership April or later will be getting a 2023.
