Thank you for the help, I will follow this further, The interior, on the Telluride you linked to another dealer, had the wrong color interior, Wife is looking for Butterscotch, prestige,sx,moss green,trailer hitch. I appreciate your time in answering.

That is Butterscotch - the one I linked. Look on the right side of the window sticker under options - red area - it says "SX Butterscotch Leather Seats". Top left it says "Black".

Also, Butterscotch doesn't come with Prestige. If you want Prestige, nearest color is Dune Brown. If you're heart is set on Prestige, you missed out on a good used deal from @Mweiland, but then you need to filter for "Dune Brown" with "Dark Moss" - not Butterscotch - on that website we listed. And start calling... though most all SX-Ps will be sold or marked up heavily.

Okay, so here's what I would do. That "order number" may be internal but it doesn't line up with the traditional format. Nevertheless, I wouldn't put much faith in your dealership to get that vehicle to you in any amount of time in the near future. You need to ask when they will have a KFOS allocation for an SX and can order your vehicle - if they can't do it during the Feb order period (mid Feb) then it's not going to come anytime soon. They probably never actually ordered it. They are a tiny dealership with only 3-5 Tellurides per month. The dealer code is MN007.

But, not to despair. What you should do right away is contact @aaroneast at Barnett Kia in White Bear Lake - they just had one matching your specs built for them and it's due in March 1. It may already be sold, but he posted on Jan 24 that it was available.

Here's the window sticker:

and here's his post:

Moss SX AWD with Butterscotch interior coming March 1st (White Bear Lake MN)

I have a SX AWD in Moss with Butterscotch interior and tow. i also have some EXs and S coming in as well. Please let me know if you are interested! aaroneastman1175@icloud.com

tellurideforum.org

If that one is sold, then I would start to follow the website:

Telluride Lookup

And filter by your desired specifications and find a unit that is not sold by calling dealers with a build (if the VIN shows up, then it's been built and is on its way to a dealership). Since it's not Prestige, it should be easier to find.

Frankly, I'd give up on your dealer and start hunting - I would have done that a long time ago. But, there is hope as dealers on this forum are getting inventory and listing it.

@Mweiland is with Luther Kia of Inver Grove also on this forum.

I contacted the dealer thx! much

Also, your dealer was allocated a Moss / Dune SX-P back in November - it was built on 11/27. You should ask about that VIN - hopefully that wasn't supposed to be yours and they decided to sell to someone else. We've seen that quite a bit... see the VIN link below.

A true order from July (on or after July 25 for Prestige - as that's when orders for that trim re-opened) should most certainly have a vehicle en route already with an ETA. The dealer should be able to provide you all this information if they have a true order - they can see everything. But you should speak to fleet manager - in your case, your salesperson will probably blow you off - if that salesperson is still with the dealership.

Also, Luther Kia of Bloomington has received the second most SX-Ps in the country... 81 through mid-January - so call them too.

Yes, my dealer screenshot it and sent it to me.

Thanks!

@jw_tx21 is like Sherlock Holmes playing the game of Clue when it comes to helping other members here. "Your SXP was sold to another person, for $5k markup, in the Conservatory, with a Wrench"

@Mhdecoys

When you visit the website we listed, and enter filter options - here's an example showing your desired trim with the dealer codes on right hand side. If it says "P/T" then it is Prestige with Towing.

On that site, you can click those dealer codes to find their name - and then call. This will be a daily process for you... you could go back a few days (like a week) - but as I said, most all will be pre-sold - who knows, you might get lucky!

Tried the site like you sent, would not load the page, waited half hour no luck. seems like a lot of work going through this to get what you need. Why do we need a salesman if we are doing all the leg work. Thinking about Luther Kia or just going back to Ford.
again, thanks for the help you are very gracious.

I can't get the car list to load if I'm on my iPad or iPhone, but on my PC it loads quickly. Or click on the "Mobile" header

Right, see the post above this one - try it on a PC. It displays better. You're trying to buy one of the hottest vehicles in the market right now, so craziness should be expected. If you don't need Prestige package (which includes a HUD), then just get regular SX - slightly better availability. It's still nicer than a Ford and a better value. It helps to be informed via the site - it's the only way to track down your vehicle of interest before it arrives at a dealership.

You're welcome, good luck. You have all the tools and resources now. Try the site with Chrome or Firefox. Some browsers may attempt to block as it is not an https site. But, it should load quickly.

Also, search "production stats" for the inventory spreadsheet.

I'd just like to say a BIG thank you to all the people on this thread who have helped others: locate a car or a dealer, learn how to use the VIN search, Created those 2 wonderful search spread sheets, give shout out congrats on a car you are patiently waiting for that someone else got first, helping others understand the ordering process, decoding the KIA production and shipping process, dealers offering to order our KTs at decent prices without gouging us, keeping us up to date on price increases and every other nice thing people are doing for others. There have been no negative vibes/comments, shaming, judging or name calling here. It's nice to be amongst total strangers that share a common interest, who are truly supporting one another. Such a nice reprieve from the world that is all around us right now. This just proves that deep down, we really all can get along. So 🗣 THANKS EVERYONE!!!
