What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

Just bought a 2024 s-trim with added AWD, sunroof, and dealer add ons for $40k + taxes and fees. $44k out the door.

KIA website MSRP was $42,240 +
Tax and fees, so came in a couple grand under MSRP.
 
In early February, I purchased a loaded SX-P that stickered for $53,800. I received $1,700 in trade and financing incentives although I am sure I paid some of that back with the 7.39% financing rate (we have stellar credit). The dealer in Northern VA matched Carmax's trade quote on my Subaru. Not the greatest dealer experience (won't be using them for service since we live 120 miles away) so I guess I'll never have to deal with them again...Love the Telluride.
 
Wondering about expectations for price off msrp—my dealer is now taking orders but will only do it for msrp. Any ideas about negotiating price or expected rebates/incentives? Are other Kia models discounted much?
Bought a 24 in June 23 just under sticker. I would recommend waiting until the end of a quarter. Make your offer and then call back about 5 pm and make an offer on March 31. They want to increase quarterly profits. It works

I purchased from Germain Kia in Columbus, OH yesterday. They had 40ish Tellurides on lot. As an out-of-state purchaser, I paid the negotiated price (approx $3500 below MSRP) + $285 in fees, out the door. (Also rec'd well above Black Book on my trade) Best vehicle purchasing experience I've ever had. Check out their website and ask for Matt Swier in sales. Great guy.

can i ask you what model you purchased and at what price? please DM

I paid $2500 off MSRP on an SX-P X-Line south of ATL. I was very surprised after reading these forums, but ALM Kia was awesome. I did provide the family and friends pin through my employer. And perhaps that is why it worked out. But I had been told by other dealers that the Telluride didn't even qualify for that program. So who knows!?! But glad I didn't pay MSRP or worse a few grand markup!

When i tried ALM Kia they tried to inflate with dealer add-ons and would not budge
 
Sounds like a pretty good deal to me in today's market. Where/who is the dealer?
Lou Fusz Kia.

Just got home from Sterling Kia in, Lafayette, LA. Paid 45k for a 2024 Glacier White SX.
I know it was asked before but would you mind sharing what the MSRP was for the vehicle and was your deal of 45K a total out the door price? I'm looking at the same model and trim out here in CA, but the prices are all over the place with dealers selling the same vehicle between $47500 - $49,990 total MSPR.

Did you pay documentation fee?, Electronic filing Fee? Any fee other than Taxes, transfer and or plates, any add ons? Bottom line is what if anything is added to your purchase agreement other than taxes, and plates. Anything else is additional profit. It's not what is taken off of MSRP but what the bottom number reads once everything is itemized.

Aside from taxes and plates, I just paid a $358 documentary service fee. I’m assuming (maybe incorrectly) that I would have paid that fee regardless of the price of the vehicle. If that was additional dealer profit, then I paid about $1,900 under MSRP. In any case, I think I got a good deal.
 
$358 Doc fee is additional profit, but it's not prohibitive. Dealers love to make up names, unique to each dealership, that sound like something that is mandatory, but again usually equates to additional profit. The only way to know is go down every line on the purchase agreement and question... Is this really a legitimate fee? Other than Tax, Title, and plates, and a reasonable standard doc fee (additional profit) there should be NOTHING ELSE. $1900 is an excellent deal in today's Telly market. We still have quite a few scoundrels out there raping customers. Cali and Florida are horror shows. PS... Let's not forget those unnecessary inflated add ons.

Yes, $1900 under sounds great. I think I’m ending up with a similar but not quite as good of a deal. I’m in Seattle and about to close on a 2024 SX Prestige X-Line with crossbars, running boards, tow hitch, floor mats, and cargo cover for $54300 before taxes and licensing. They do have a $200 documentation fee tacked on there and tax in WA is also over 10% :(
 
Hey, looking at getting OTD at $53,000. Let me know your thoughts and feedback. I’m based in NJ so taxes are pretty high.

Looks like a good deal. I'm in North Jersey also and may have to look out of state to get a decent deal too. Without mentioning what dealership you are at, that one is not too far from me.
 
Bought an SX-XPro 2024 in Southern CA Orange County yesterday for 2k under MSRP...the price was $50,400 and I sent the deal back 3x to remove dealer add ons that totaled over $4,000 I didn't want. So overall the price was $6,000 under what they showed online. I added the Tow Hitch for $1400 which yes, it's a lot but here in SOCAL that's about normal. No wait on that btw nowadays. So OTD with tow hitch and all fees (CA caps doc fee at $85). It was $56,500 or so. We have 7.75% tax here.
