Order to delivery time

got it, thanks for the direction, turns out wife ordered prestige package also , and they only do that in Dune. thanks
Hate to tell you this, but I almost guarantee your car came in and they sold it for more $ to someone else.

The sticker JW_TX posted is basically what you are stating you ordered. It was Moss / Dune with tow and floor mats.

Be curious as to what the dealer says or what excuse they come up with.
 
Someone is about to be happy. I ran into this on my way home from the luxurious cabin of my '11 CR-V! Everlasting Silver SX, Gravity Grey EX-P, and Snow White Pearl SX to be delivered somewhere in the Philly area.

SXP Prestige w/ Towing Package
Snow White Pearl / Black
Ordered 8/10/19
Took Delivery 1/31/20

George Gee Kia in Liberty Lake (Spokane), Washington.
I can recommend George Gee and Taylor Navin / Andy Olson in particular.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I ordered a gravity gray SXP with towing from Liberty Lake George Gee location on 12/8/19. I sure hope I'm not going to have to wait until May for this rig... It'll be worth the wait, I'm sure, but seems like other locations aren't waiting this long, so maybe this location has a larger than usual backlog.

Fingers crossed! I'd be an anxious wreck if not for the fabulous VIN lookup site.

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.
What is the traditional format for a order number?

Scroll up a few months... lots of info in this thread and the one about KFOS.

 
First of all, if you want some help to locate a Telluride matching your order specifications, then please post
(1) Your Order ID that you got from your dealer
(2) The desired trim / options
(3) The dealership you ordered from

A true July order should have been delivered by now. Either your dealer didn't actually order it in July, or something else is going on with that dealership. But, we can't speculate until we know a bit more. And, we can help you with the questions to ask your dealer.

I am in the same boat. I ordered 7/27/2019

1. My order ID is CO007190727j002
2. SX P AWD Snow White/Black Nappa with cross bars
3. Grand Kia 1950 West 104th, Thornton from David Quintana

Am I crazy to be this patient?? My family thinks I've lost my mind to be waiting for a car this long. My Toyota Sienna is paid for, so I just keep telling myself "good things come to those who wait" but it seems like I might be waiting forever from what you told Mhdecoys.

I know they are a smaller dealership, but I don't know how to go about getting one from another dealer. Should I order again from a bigger dealership (like listed in that spreadsheet) or stay the course. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for all the advice on here. I've been reading this forum since July trying to understand the process and to help pass the time while I wait!

I actually made my hubby call just now and they now say I have an ETA of 3/22 and that it's in the build process, so maybe we are ok. That would be an 8 month wait. Sure hope it's been worth it.

Recap of my order: placed order 10/22/19. Received order number 1/9/20 with a “guesstimate” of 6 more months. Bugged him yesterday and he said it’s scheduled for March 19 delivery. I don’t believe anything they tell me but it is promising. Still looking at Explorer ST’s waiting for a crazy deal as a backup plan (or diversion, perhaps). If I was waiting since July of ‘19....well I wouldn’t have. That’s next-level patience.
 
We ordered a sx awd from Kia of Muncie 9/19. Picked it up yesterday. The wait was totally worth it. Jason, Lucas and their whole team is the real deal. No bs, no surprises. Everyone was very professional and caring as we had our new born with us. This was the best car buying experience we’ve ever had. THANK YOU KIA OF MUNCIE!!
You are very welcome. We posted a few photos on Facebook. The little guy was awesome!

Well I bet it’s still quicker than any of your 3 boys got here!
 
Got the call yesterday. My Telly has arrived! Dark Moss EX FWD ordered on 11/30, ETA was for 2/22, then revised to 2/15 then 2/9 and arrived at the dealership on 2/6. VIN generated on 1/29. Kia must have really upped the production in the new year for it to arrive so soon. Also, I saw no EX non-premium produced in the first half of Jan, but they produced a bunch of them (based on the VIN lookup tool) in the last week of Jan and first week of Feb, so looks like they make them in batches.

Hope the wait ends for you guys soon as well! Picking up my Telly today.

I'm new here and have read a lot of the posts to try to get up to speed. We ordered an EX V6 AWD Moss green with black interior on 1/30/2020 from Fairfax KIA in VA which is in the middle of the Top 20 highest volume dealerships list for VA. I have an Order # VA055200130J001. We put down a non refundable $500 deposit and were told 1-3 months which we are ok with...I guess :)
I understand it is too soon to search the VIN Lookup tool (but I did it anyway!) but I am more so concerned about patiently waiting for several months and then it being sold to someone else, etc.. We chose this dealership because it is close, and they aren't charging above MSRP currently.
If anyone has any tips how to stay on this...ie. call the dealership regularly, keep checking inventory of other dealerships, etc.. I would appreciate it.
 
If you want. I have a Moss/ Black EX with the premium package coming in on 4/14. We can ship to VA too. If you have any questions you can email me.
I forgot to add that we ordered the Premium package!

It sounds like you are on the right track. The only other information you could potentially get from the dealer at this point is the typical number of EX AWD allocations per month, and the number of EX AWD orders in front of you. That would tell you about when your order will be transferred from the KDealer system to the KFOS system, which is when things really start moving.

When I did this, my original dealership told me they didn't know when they could put my order in because they don't actually get a lot of SX FWD allocations.
