KIA Muncie - What was the time from order to delivery of your Telluride?

[StephenCantrelle]

Based on what @StephenCantrelle and Jason confirmed above...

I'm a little bit nervous. I have an order with Huffines McKinney since 10/23 (Gravity Grey SX-P/Tow). I know that's a drop in the bucket for the wait. and I'm cool with that. ( Not really I'm anxious as heck - but I'm willing to wait for the pay out ) ...

but what has me nervous is, I checked the spreadsheet in the other forum post... and I see VERY VERY few Tellurides being shipped to that dealership. When talking to my sales guy there, I believe he said there were about 30 in front of me (this was a few weeks ago).

Being that I don't see hardly any Tellurides getting shipped to that dealership... am I in for a much much longer wait than cancelling that order (which I really would prefer not to do)... and re-ordering with a dealership who actually takes more deliveries?

Currently they(Mckinney) show two Prestige on the way Snow White Pearls. So still waiting for now.

I was actually thinking on the way in.. to start yet another thread about how to get your Telluride the fastest. I’m thinking if you fish with more fishing poles your odds go way up.. find the dealers that are high volume no to little deposit and order from 2 or 3 locations. Then sell if you put a deposit to another forum member looking for similar color combo.. just a thought. Like you said technically there isn’t any rules on trying to get the Telluride in the garage ha

Yeah, teamwork would work! Folks have to game the system too. I think I'll put up a web application with the information - just need to talk with the person who produced it and develop a workflow. Would be easy enough to launch on Amazon Web Services or some other cloud service. I have a few old servers sitting around too!

Any Kia of Muncie orders received this week? When/what did you order?

Seems like wait times continue to grow. Wondering if Kia of Muncie Telluride allocations are going to be able to support all the orders they are receiving....?

The phrase internally is turn and earn... @jw_tx21 has the right idea.. rewind back to March... the dealers who got the Tellurides in and not only sold the Tellurides but did it under 72 hours are perceived as a better store to send Tellurides to then say a store that got a Telluride in a lower metropolis area and sold the car in 120 hours-a week..

Okay so stay with me.. everyone sells loaded SX and SXP as soon as they drop. Awesome! But what about the LX models and the EX base with bench seats?
Slower stores sit on this inventory longer... making thier “days in inventory” longer and longer. Kia says well they aren’t selling as quickly let’s pass them on next allocation..

Mean while high volume stores know the game.. so they give away the LX models or add 20” black wheels to LX models to help move them( I literally was doing this at my last location) why to move those out of my inventory ASAP..

Each month that’s passing by it become a snowball effect and gets greater and greater.. to the point where the stores that understand the game get the allocation... sold orders or not we get more Tellurides then the slower stores.. CA,FL,NY,TX are the ones who understand the game and are now much more along the way.. so yes inadvertently @jw_tx21 is spot on

Why can't orders just be filled as a first come first serve?! instead of playing favorites along the way...that's kinda messed up of Corporate to be doing that.

So I placed my order with Muncie on Nov 13 (SX AWD w/Towing Package) , @Jason Fox & Lucas made the car buying experience easy and pleasant. I'm hoping the Telluride comes in around March or sooner!, my lease on my current vehicle is up in March

Oh, good! We can race. I ordered the same day (SXP AWD Towing package). Probably from a lower volume dealer.

I also ordered from Muncie on the same day! SX AWD, no towing.
My ordered ended in J003, so I think two people ordered on 11/13 ahead of me.

Exciting times!

Who else shops at Kia of Muncie??? How about some updates to this thread.

Based on pricing and customer satisfaction stories shared on this forum, Muncie is certainly worthy of your Telluride order. Just wondering how delivery times are changing from order to drive with the allocations they receive.

Ordered 10/28 SXP + tow moss with black. Have heard nothing - did not expect to hear anything either. Expect to be waiting a few more months.
