So I’m driving by a Kia dealership and I see at least 20 Tellurides on the lot. I stopped in and was told they were all pre-owned(maybe one new one). The sales person said they buy them from other dealerships. This is Beck & Masten Kia in Tomball, Tx. They seem to be all 2022’s.

OMG the markups they are putting on the used is crazy.
 
$64, 932 for a used Telluride?! 🤣🤦‍♂️

Even more insulting is the fact that they refer to the glorious Black Copper as "Brown." (Sangria is "Purple.") Charge me $64k if you must, but don't call it brown!
 
King Kia in Gaithersburg, MD had nearly 40 Tellurides sitting on the lot at one point and saw they were recently down to 36. Charging $8k-$9k over MSRP for SXL’s. Why Kia continues to give them allocation is beyond me when there are thousands of unfilled customer orders

I looked at their website -- they're currently claiming 39 Tellurides in inventory. The markups are $9k for the SX's and smaller amounts for the lower trims. They're not shy about it: each inventory card shows the MSRP, and then the inflated "King Price" in bold. I guess they don't mind having their dealership name being synonymous with huge $$ markups in the minds of consumers. "Come to King Kia and pay the price!"

I have wondered the same! At one point they had 60+ in inventory. They would be super convenient for me since I live in MD but I refuse to pay their markup. I placed an order in March with a different dealer.
