Was all set to buy a used MDX this week and stumbled across the Telluride last week. Oh man, would have been easier to be blissfully unaware and driving an Acura. I am renting a car at this point so ordering is not an option.
I have found a few EX Premiums around $48,000 plus tax with no choice in color and no guarantee I can get them for price quoted on the phone . Today I found a preowned with 11,000 miles for 43,000 plus tax that includes a 125,000 mile extended comprehensive warranty with Zurich ( not a Kia dealer but not sure I need this since I think I get balance of 60,000 basic but I drive 36,000 a year so would be nice 3 years from now). It is a beautiful sangria that I would choose if I could order. If I could knock off the 1700 for warranty that would be better.
If I had the time to wait I would get the color etc I want. But need it now and can’t decide if preowned is the way to go. And paying sticker plus 7,000 on a new one hurts.
With such minimal time to decide I am looking for thoughts from those more knowledgeable than myself.
Thanks ! Jules
