Order to delivery time

[jw_tx21]

Update: No deal.

Here's the story:
I was disappointed that my car wasn't pushed to a 21MY so I've been on the lookout for a 2021 ever since I got my VIN. The 2021 EX P/T has all the upgrades I planned on doing to mine. Bigger than all that is the fact that I didn't want to pay a premium price for the outgoing model year. I figure if I drove off the lot in a 2020 and another guy drove the same trim but 2021 off the lot today, his car would be worth a couple thousand more than mine pretty much right out of the gate. Of course he's going to pay a little more up front but by the time I add RS, 7pin tow harness and LED headlights, I'm going to pay more in the long run.

Timing played a factor as well. Had it shown up a couple weeks ahead of time, I would have bought it. I missed out on using it on all my summer trips. Had I been able to put some miles on it this summer before the 21s came out, I would have been happy with the price and would've been glad to be done with the waiting game.

None of this was in mine or the dealer's control. I like my salesman and aside from it taking a week to get me in to take delivery and the price being higher than when I ordered because they tacked on floor mats, my experience with them was positive. In the end, I wasn't comfortable with the deal.

A week before my order hit the lot, I was able to find the same car but (2021) at a dealer a couple hundred miles away and put a deposit down. It was a factory allocation posted by a dealer here on the forum. I wanted to give my original dealer a chance to make a deal on the 2020 but, unwilling to budge on price, it made my decision to walk away easy. Had I not found the 2021, I would've just bought the 2020 that I ordered.

So, it sucks that I had the car I waited 5 months for in my driveway and walked away (took some serious self restraint) but I'll be much happier in my 2021 due early September.View attachment 8529

Good deal... now let us know when that 2021 arrives! A couple more months to get the features you need / want at a fair price - sounds like a win. Always good to have a backup option.

Yeah, what's another 6-8 weeks (hopefully...) at this point.
Another couple months without a payment!

I just saw a text I missed this morning, Kia finally filled my order from Muncie on my AWD EX! ETA is October 10. Thanks, @Jason Fox!

I can’t believe they made you wait a week for delivery after waiting five months for your order! Maybe they were so desperate to have one on their lot, they just stretched it out for awhile. Anyway, this story has a happy ending, and two months will fly by in no time!
P.S. Whose Telluride is in the picture?

If you just ordered it and it has an ETA next week - this must have been one they had as part of the push to close the 2020 model year. It is most likely a dealer allocation and not a custom order. But congrats! KIA produced a ton of S models as they closed out the year - so there will be lots of them hitting dealer lots in the coming weeks. Make sure to post pictures once you take delivery. What color did you get?

Oh thanks so much for the info. Everlasting Silver- a color I‘m hoping to enjoy.

They had 7 on the lot, all pre sold after the truck came last Wednesday. Some were from a previous truck. They all sat until Monday and by Tuesday morning, there were two. I'm sure they just wanted to focus on selling other cars while they were busy over the weekend. Waited until a slow day to start calling people in.

That's my order. I drove it home on the test drive. I had already ordered some weathertechs and was curious as to how they looked so I wanted to pop one in while I had a chance.

We're like expectant mothers with the same due date! So this is how my wife felt

 

[JerseySXP]

I'm in the same boat. 10/22/2020 ETA for a SX-P with Towing pkg

We can do a loose experiment with figuring out if the Towing package is having supply chain issues.
If my ETA moves up and/or yours stays at 10/22 or pushes out - we can make some conclusions.

Can I join your 10/22 club? Lol. Updated today on our order we placed on 7/22. Just got an email with a screenshot with all the codes applied along with a sold description to my name. ETA is 10/21. Everlasting silver with black interior. SX-P nightfall with Tow. 3 month production time seems quick so we are eager but not holding our breath.

 

[Gogogo]

Has anyone been told they can not receive the ex in everlasting silver for the nightfall package? I put my order in with the dealership but now I received a call saying that it is not available in everlasting silver? Can anyone verify this for me please....

The way I read the 2021 Product Reference Guide, NE is not available with silver in the EX

 

[JerseySXP]

not sure about the EX - but I have seen on failcat ES with SX and Prestige packages + Nightfall.
