What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

This is what I always do. I am not that desperate and would never pay more than 15-17% under the MSRP.

ditto! It’s crazy that u can get the 2019 expedition XLT with 202A package for less!! That’s what I might do if the hype doesn’t go away with the telluride/palisade.

Sure, with vinyl seats, an 8" screen and no driver assistance tech. For that comparison, you should look at the Telluride S trim which is around $35k vs Expedition - and you get driver tech in S! The SX-P at $45-48 compares to the Limited or perhaps Platinum Expedition (which has a few more features). Those trims aren't anywhere near Telluride SX-P price.

Good luck! Let us know how that works out when you get it. For American vehicles, there is 15-17% available to knock off price... not as much for Kias. But, you might get lucky one day! The Founder's discount has long expired - that was for the very first deliveries.

Actually the one I’m looking at includes driver assistance package and navigation package and some other addons. MSRP 61k selling for 43k. Yeah sure you have nicer fake plastic on the telluride but expedition has way better drivetrain and it’s a full size SUV. Telluride MSRP is fair value but it’s definitely not worth the dealerships markup. I’ll try few more dealerships in the area hopefully I find someone reasonable before pulling the trigger on the expedition.

That's a substantial discount! Glad it included the full Driver Assistance option... I don't believe that is standard in 202A.

I'm in Northern California and looking for one with the tow package already installed. Did anyone find the tow package already installed or is that and option that the dealer puts on?
I also have having a problem finding out if the auto-leveling on comes on certain packages.

I just purchased a Telluride EX AWD with the Premium Package and with the towing package. I paid MSRP. Really I paid MSRP +1K, and then I used the Kia $1k cash back to bring back down to MSRP.I live in the Wisconsin area, and most of the dealers were at least $1K over MSRP, some were $5K, especially for the EX and SX models. I also was looking at the Palisade, and it was the same. I purchased at Gary Lang Kia in Northern Illinois. The only process I hate is dealing with the F&I person over extended warranty, prepaid maintenance and Protection Plans. I love the vehicle. I was surprised by the lack of remote start.

Posted this in order to delivery time, however I will post a little more here. Four score and seven years ago, I ordered a Dark Moss AWD Telluride SX with butterscotch interior. Just kidding I ordered it May 20th. I finally picked it up my (wifes, LOL) Telluride yesterday November 20th. For reference it actually arrived around October 20th but had a scratch that took a month for them to get repainted. I put 100 miles on it, and it is everything I was hoping it would be. I got the 2.75% financing with $1k rebate and gave me the conquest rebate of $1k that was available at time of order. They honored the $12k in trade in for the 2012 Acadia Denali with 137k miles on it that we had also initially discussed. Took forever but glad to finally have it. Financing tried there best to up sell me on extra protections and what not for some crazy prices. The only thing I was maybe interested in is an extended warranty which I am still up in the air about. However they could not touch what Jason Fox is offering at Kia Muncie and didn't believe me at first. Thanks again Jason for arming us with super competitive warranty offers, I will figure out soon if I am going to get the warranty or not. All in, after all was said and done (tax, title, license, doc fee, subtracting incentives) it came to $44492.30.

We have been selling quite a few warranties lately.

I own a 2017 Sorento SXL AWD that I paid 40.5k over a 47.5K MSRP in May 2016. So no excuse for a leftover model either. This is just production slack blowing these prices up.
 
Ebony Black SXP with Tow and floor mats. Sticker was $47,985. Dealer installed XPel performance clear bra on front end and mirrors, added the Platinum warranty extension with zero deductible, added a 5 year unlimited mile tire and wheel package (road hazard with zero deductible). Ended up paying $50,985 minus the $1000 rebate, so $49,985

I work at a dealer. I can’t stand the fact that salespeople do this. I always send a video on the spot with the clients name in it to verify Telluride is at store. “ Hey Mr. Smith this is the Gravity Gray S model Telluride you see on our website while sending 30 sec clip” I highly recommend asking for short vid text to you “to verify the color and in stock”

I’m in Dallas Tx area.. actually left kia for 5-6 months but starting again on the 1st of December.
 
In southern Wisconsin here. We wanted the S model of Telluride in grey and with 2nd row pilot seats. Our local dealer had a maroon one in stock but wifey didn't want red. Dealer in Madison, (Russ Darrow) has ALL their Tellurides marked up $3000-$4000 over MSRP, claiming that "at least we give you something" that other dealers don't! What do they give you? Some "Simonizing" and other "protecorants" that we all know are code for a gouging! My wife searched within a 500 mile radius for her dream car and finally found it in Carbondale, IL. I rented a car and drove 800 miles round trip to get her the car! Had mats & tow package factory installed. Nothing extra by dealer. Paid sticker for it, but got a full-tank of gas from the dealership and some great lovin' from the wife! LOL!

West coast post - SX-P......Looks like we're finally joining the Telluride club - it's on a train in Wyoming ETA Port of Portland 12/4 ... keys 12/10ish
$2,100.00 markup not happy but doable before 1k financing incentive, had somethings I wouldn't have ordered and a few missing that I wish it had but fit 95% of what we were looking for
Attached sticker and deal

I put a deposit down for EX Moss Green. MSRP was $38,100, dealer is asking $1k over with $1k in Kia financing, so it comes down to MSRP. The dealer said it will take 60-90 days for the Telly to be delivered, if they cannot find another one for me. For folks who have ordered their Telly, how long did it take for you from order to delivery?
