Youngin' in Northern Virginia

[NotIansIdea]

I just graduated college a year early with tons of scholarships, and I immediately began a job when I graduated, so I have some financial room to buy a nice car for my wife and I. My 2001 Ford Explorer Sport college beater is about to go kaput, so I'm looking to get a Telluride within the next 6 months. My family is in the generational habit of buying a solid car and daily-ing that bad boy for 20+ years, so that's my plan with the Telluride. I'm in NoVa, and markups are from $5,000-10,000, so I'm mostly on here at the moment to find some insight on paying MSRP or below on a Telluride (preferably not from the lot, we'd like to build ours!). The trims I'm interested in are the EX and SX (obviously I'm dying to spec out an SX, but my wife is attempting to be a voice of financial restraint in my ear). If anybody has tips for a first-time car buyer or how to buy below/at MSRP, please let me know!

I’m (hopefully) getting my new Telluride here in the next week or so in Richmond - ordered an EX in February. I’m paying MSRP - when I was initially looking, I think a dealer in Fredericksburg was also not marking up - I’d check around just south of NoVa, and I don’t think you’ll have a problem ordering at MSRP.

I literally just read a thread about the Costco Car Buying program and the Muncie Kia out of Indiana (selling below MSRP), and I'm seriously considering just going out of state for it now. What dealer did you buy with? A quick Google search shows West Broad and Hyman Bros Kia are the closest to Richmond.

If you’re working to make a trip to Cleveland, Halleen Kia sells at MSRP and gets a lot of inventory. They have some you can claim now if you want to take the plunge sooner than 4-6 months.

Some inventory at Halleen Kia (Cleveland)

Got some rough intel from the rep I bought my Telluride from. He's got a few inbound models that aren't claimed yet: Some S Some EX 3 SX AWD Ebony Black Nightfalls (not Prestige) You can get a sense of the configs on failcat as they've had a lot of VINs show up in the last month Contact info...

Got mine from the Kia Jones in Bel Air, MD at MSRP. The vehicle has SX trim with Prestige package and it was the best deal that I can find within 150miles range.
