What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

That may be hard depending on where you live. I’m finding that S trims with captain’s chairs are hard to come by. Ordered mine today after haggling with multiple dealerships. If the incentives are still going when I take delivery, it will be 34,900. Best I could find.

AWD or not? $33-34k should be doable after incentives on non-AWD. I’ve got mine ordered at $35,336 for S-AWD after incentives (invoice - $1200 lease cash). Take off $1930 for AWD invoice and you’re down to $33,406. Remove another ~$600 for my few options (hitch, roof rack, floor mats) and it’s under $33k.
 
What model are you looking for? Color, trim, AWD/FWD. What matters and don’t matter?
Ebony black AWD Prestige with gray nappa interior. I posted an offer I received early that seems hard to beat. 42k before taxes with cargo net, cargo tray, all weather mats, mud flaps.
 
Has anyone actually purchased an SX AWD (w/o prestige), total price excluding tax and tags, for $42k or less, OTD (so, with incentives applied, you parted with <$42k plus tax/tags)?

I'm planning to do a test drive in the next week or so, and then start the process to find a deal after that. I may try the Costco way, if any dealers around Oregon are participating.
I'm confused by otd plus tax and tags? Out the door means everything including taxes etc

OTD usually implies tax and tags, but since taxes are different in every state, and so are tags & registration, it's a more accurate comparison if those costs are backed out of the price. For example,.in Oregon, new vehicles have a 1/2 of 1% tax (0.5%), while in some states it's 6%.

I'm looking for the actual vehicle cost including destination charges, dealer discounts, dealer fees, and so on.

I drove a sorento the other day before I heard about this. This rode nicer / more luxurious than the sorento. It definitely felt like a big car / suv but that’s coming from a Ford Fusion.

It was quiet ! I turned the radio off and I was surprised. Not crazy quiet but still pleasantly surprised.

Only went from default to eco or comfort to sport. It had a good pickup. I had the Awd model and it was good for such a big vehicle. I had to take the shipping mode off - the dealer wasn’t even in the car. The shipping papers were still in the car
Shipping Mode That's what it says in my display. I'm supposed to turn that off? Is that easy to do? Can't find anything on it in the manual. Just my second day as owner. Help--thanks

I paid 2500 (rebates) under invoice for my SX Prestige. Out the door. Only other cost was sales tax and a BS doc fee of a hundred bucks or so that I chose not to fight about as I usually do.

It would be helpful if everyone posted their location for us to better understand their deals.

I'm just looking at FWD, so your price is encouraging. Where are you that you got this deal? I'm hopefully going out next weekend to test drive and snag a deal.

This was from Dubuque, IA. I’m actually in WI, about 3 hours from Dubuque, but they were the only ones willing to drop below MSRP, and I’d worked with them on my previous Sorento lease, so it was (or will be, when the order comes in) worth the few hour drive.
 
Just purchased an LX w/ AWD this weekend. I must say we didn’t put ourselves in the best position by selling our other vehicle private party and then needing another right away.

We were coming from a 2009 Pilot Ex-l with 220k on it, so this was a huge upgrade for us.

Out the door we were around $41k. That included sales tax, the $2000 platinum warranty which covers everything 10yrs/100,000 miles, front window tint, 5 year wheel and tire package, and gap insurance for the entirety of the loan. We didn’t use Kia Financing otherwise we could’ve gotten the rebate, but would’ve gotten a higher interest rate. Also could’ve gotten a grey one for $500 cheaper, but wife wanted white. Unfortunately, our Pilot was an 09 so didn’t qualify for the Competitive Bonus (I guess it has to be a ‘12-newer).

We would’ve liked to have gone up to an S with AWD, but they were saying we’d have to wait up to 6 months.

I must say these vehicles seem to be going ridiculously quick. While we were at the dealership, 4 couples were there wanting to buy the one we purchased.

Yea....whaaat? I think your trying to say you paid under invoice given the $2500 in rebates? Out the door INCLUDES sales tax and any fees.

I purchased mine with an MSRP of 46,800, used the $1500 kia rebate, so vehicle cost was $45,300. Some dealers are charging over MSRP, others are charging MSRP. A few people say they have had luck bringing the price down below that, but that is a tough sale right now, as dealers have no incentive to lower cost. The vehicle will sale at MSRP.
