I used the failcat website to see what Tellurides were coming in to dealerships around my area and then called dealerships to verify if they were available.
My wife wanted a White AWD SX-P and Yonkers Kia had one coming in with Prestige, Towing and nightfall. I reached out to the dealership and they said it was available and not allotted to a different customer, so I gave a refundable $500 deposit. We don't really need the towing package but I was willing to stick with it since these SUVs are so hard to come by. Then I saw they actually had a White SX-P with Nightfall that was built earlier, so I asked Yonkers if that one was available. They told me it was, so I switched over my deposit to the one without the towing package.
Just an FYI, they are charging $500 over MSRP though.
Thank you
@StephenCantrelle. I hope they call me and let me know it is in tomorrow. I'm free this weekend, so I would be able to pick it up. Otherwise my work schedule makes it difficult to go in during business hours.
@Julian0328 , I'll let you know how it goes. I'm assuming you ordered a custom Telluride from them and maybe they don't have one with that exact specification coming in just yet. I didn't custom order mine and just got lucky with finding a dealer that happened to have an unclaimed SX-P with the specs my wife wanted. Maybe try calling them and see if they have any Tellurides that are not already claimed by other customers.
