What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

Is there a way to do this for the SX model in Gravity Grey or Everlasting Silver?

Yes, of course. But you might want to be more specific. Towing package / no towing / don't care? Prestige / non-prestige / don't care? AWD / FWD / don't care? Interior color - or don't care?

It depends on your situation and needs. Luther Kia of Inver Grove reached out to you for one arriving in March - they sell at MSRP, but it will involve transport cost to NY. You can order from another dealer at MSRP or lower - but your wait will likely be 4-6 months. Note that there should be a $1000 finance rebate. Also, for that markup, you can negotiate other add-ons if you want them like tint, etc. I'd push the dealers hard. You have a list of dealers - the more legwork you put in, the more offers you'll have to evaluate - just have to determine the value of your time.

Some people have paid little to no markup or massive markups - so just decide and make your deal and be happy!

Thank you. Agree. Will spend the next few days reaching out to everyone who responded.

Oh wow! Looking for the prestige package and the towing package and AWD. Don't care about the interior color

The google docs only listed 10 SX's being produced for 2020 and I was not sure where to find those produced in 2019.

You can't do it on your phone. Using a PC, click on Data -> Filter Views -> Create a new Temporary Filter View

After it loads, click on little symbols (three lines - inverted triangle) and select your desired filters in the columns. The blank lines (no info on VIN) you are seeing for 2020 in the sheet are for other markets.

Thank you so much!
 
Thank you so much!

Here it is attached - those produced since 12/1/2019.

But, there aren't many - only 25 - and I expect most all to be pre-sold or with markups. But, you can follow the spreadsheet once you understand how to filter, and as the owner updates it, you'll have latest information. Watch the production stats thread.

It's going to be a difficult vehicle to find that's not already pre-sold.

This file can be imported into a spreadsheet application or Google Docs - using comma separated value.

This filtering is pretty awesome. Thanks for the heads up on the pre-sold or mark-up comments.

If they don't highly ramp up production they are not going to see increasing sales as how long can people keep paying MSRP or inflated prices? Personally, I will wait another 1-2 years when I can get one used for cheap or a new one for atleast 15% below MSRP. Never have paid more than that. I am actually waiting for a Limited model that will have fully digital dash, paddle shifters, 4-way lumbar, passenger lumbar, etc.

Even after the price increase, a fully tricked out AWD SX-P with towing package and a premium paint is $47,775 after destination. A 2020 AWD Highlander Platinum is $49,920 after destination. Torque and HP numbers are nearly identical, but the Telluride is larger and offers so many more features. Plus, the design blows the Highlander into oblivion. I’m expecting the next Pilot to be just as meh and just as expensive (if not more expensive) than the Highlander.

I’m waiting a bit too (and praying the 2021 offers at least the full digital dash, which Kia has in the bank already), but the price increase isn’t an issue for me. It’s still very fairly priced.

Your Sorento should last you several more years... good to be patient if possible. Ultimately paid 5% less than MSRP, so happy with that to have it now. But, discounts have eroded. That limited model you envision sounds nice! Or like a Genesis... :)
 
That's the info I need, assigned to be built. I might have to make a road trip to Dallas, i'm in Houston.
Did you find a telly?

Hi All,

This is my first post on the forum. I'm looking for a Telluride with SX trim and preferably with the prestige package. The colors I'm looking for is either gravity grey or moss green.

I find it amazing how many dealers are selling over MSRP. Yes it is a very cool looking SUV and drives nicely, but man that markup is tough to swallow.

I was wondering if there are any dealers on this forum who are willing to sell one to me that is not above MSRP. I'm willing to buy anywhere in the US.

Thanks,
Jason

Do you have any EX (non-premium) coming in soon?
 
Phoenix, AZ here. I’m starting my hunt on finding a good dealership to work with. Any tips on dealers in AZ or west coast that aren’t placing crazy increases on them?
