In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Good Dealer Dealings - List Your Good Dealer Experience

wanting to look at a Telluride. Southern New Jersey area. Suggestions for dealers/salespersons? Mays Landing, Cherry Hill area, outside of Philadelphia.
 
Had a good experience with Halleen Kia in North Olmsted, OH (Cleveland suburbs). My sales rep Mike was great and the best I dealt with among other area dealerships. Honest, responsive over text, no BS, priced at MSRP. He even came in on his day off to show me his coworker's SX AWD because I wanted to check one out in person and they had no inventory. That act alone made me want to work with him over anyone else.

Feel free to reach out to Mike and let him know AJ sent you!

Posting as an aside for anyone searching for dealer names. Below dealers were not "bad" experiences, but more like meh:
- Kia of Bedford - priced $3k over MSRP and claimed "everyone did that"
- Streetsboro - non-responsive, ghosted me
 
For Massachusetts buyers.
Gervais Kia in Lowell.
Jim Brophy and Bob Fisher were super easy to deal with. Gave me a great number on my trade. Had my model and trim as an incoming in 6 ish weeks. Simple deposit. MSRP pricing.

Don’t waste your time elsewhere. These guys were awesome. By far my best experience with car salesman I’ve had

Had a great experience with Kia of Muncie this past Friday. Salesperson was Lucas Boehm. I had explained to Lucas that we wanted to get in and out quickly and the whole process took less than 30 minutes. Absolutely the best car buying experience of my 46 years. No BS. Went exactly as expected. Costco pricing on a 2021 SX-P. Great vehicle! Shoutout to @Jason Fox and Lucas for great service and NO BS!

No clue when. KIA has to flip the switch.

Calling out Kia of East Syracuse...called them on Friday about an incoming vehicle, was assured it's not a sold order. I had to forward them the VIN sticker from Failcat.

Working the deal all day...charged my CC the 1k deposit...did my credit check...hopefully just a soft credit check...

Went quiet - few hours later, calls me saying it was actually a sold order since March...

Did you want to post this in the good dealers section?
 
I have to throw in a rave for Ken over at Mark Martin Kia in Arkansas. Super easy to work with and very nice. Only a $99 dealer fee on top of msrp! Unfortunately my wife had a change of heart so we had to back off.

They have a Snow White pearl and butterscotch SX AWD ( no extra packages) coming from the factory for sticker plus $99!! Someone please snag this from him and tell him Rick sent you to pick up what he backed out on! You will have to do final papers at the dealer

Good dealer report
i25Kia in Longmont, CO
I picked them as they are a no-nonsense, high volume dealer (I learned that from this forum!)
Placed order (black/black SX) on 4/25 ($500 refundable deposit)
Paid MSRP. .9%/48 month financing. No hidden fees or pressure for add ons. All-weather floor mats and front window tint were included.
Received the vehicle today!
They delivered the paperwork and vehicle to our place. We live about 40 miles south of the dealership so this was greatly appreciated.
Overall, a very positive experience and I would recommend them to anyone in the area. Worked with Ron/Steve/Mike
 
5 stars for Don Franklin, Somerset, KY (Jeff Hudson)

Moss SX Prestige Nightfall, Dune interior.

MSRP + small dealer fee.

Well worth the 12.5 hr drive. Found on on failcat.

Dale Spradley Kia in Pueblo CO was good to work with. Talk to Larry. They charge MSRP plus a $690 dealer. Upfront throughout, no tricks. Got super lucky as we were about to place our custom order today, they had a dealer allocated EX Premium Package Pearl White, that magically was nearly exactly outfitted as the order we were about to place, showed up in his system this morning that was not spoken for. Larry put our name on it and we secured with deposit this evening! ETA of 9/13 vs. November or December, super happy! After weeks of trying, calling, and researching happened to be talking with the right guy at the right time. Securing the telluride you want is not for the faint of heart! Thanks to a lot of the info here we are close to driving a telluride
