Order to delivery time

I ordered mine from a high volume dealership, was originally quoted 4-6 months, it will be less than 3 by the time I get it. We have plenty of non Nightfall orders taking 11 months or longer, but since you are going Nightfall prestige, I would say 3-5 months would be accurate, depending on how many allocations your dealership averages. The only 11-month wait on a Nightfall I could see happening is over at Muncie, just because they sell under MSRP with Costco pricing and have a long line over there. Which dealership are you looking to place an order at? Just make sure they haven't popped up in the bad dealer thread.

Ok, good to know, thanks. I'm going through Sterling Kia in Bryan, TX. Saw them recommended on this site. I'm in Austin, so it's a bit of a drive, but worth it not to pay $10K over at SW Kia.

Yeah, I'm in San Antonio and decided to go out of state to order. All the stealerships around here and Austin can piss right off.
 
I think it’s too late! I can’t. I usually hit edit and type a dot since we can’t delete, but I dont have the option to edit that one, maybe because it’s old now!
no worries lol

I have purchased two vehicles from the Sterling group (both Honda's) in years past - they are a good dealership group.

Not a bad drive at all...I live in San Antonio and am purchasing from @StephenCantrelle up in the DFW area.

SW Kia are the worst!!! I bought from Moritz Kia in Fort Worth. when I first visited Moritz they didnt have my spec so I told them I will look somewhere else like SW Kia in Dallas or Rockwall. The sale guy straight forward said dont go there. They overprice their cars. I thought it was just him trying to stop me. Anyway I still went took a test drive of SX no T, non Prestige and it was being sold for 57K. They had some BS stuff worth up to 10 and some shady discount. I asked why so high they said demand is high. This was back in may. Such a shame.

I have spoken with Javier at Moritz as well, they're my second option if Sterling doesn't work out. They say they'll order and are only $1898 over MSRP which includes a ceramic tint.

BUT - I thought I read somewhere that if a dealer is placing an order, it has to (or should be) sold AT MSRP? Can anyone confirm this? Maybe the ceramic tint for $1898 is their way of adding a little markup?
 
Moritz in FW is who I placed my order with. Yeah, I'm sure the ceramic tint is to get a markup. At least there is some value added unlike a plain fee. I'm on the fence about getting the tint. The ones they had there with the tint looked pretty dark.

@StephenCantrelle I received the following email today from the dealership:

You did not make the cut for the KFOS allocation this week but I should be able to get you into the open allocation coming up Monday. I will keep you updated!

Do you know what allocation he's talking about? I haven't seen this mentioned before.
 
Picked up my whip today you guys. It’s early, but my gut says I love this car.

yup the ceramic tint and some other so called dealer prep comes to the 1898. My tints are good only wish I could get the front darker but they only do the state allowed. I enjoyed my experience there. I worked with Eric and will be buying from them again in the future. Good thing they are only 20 mins from me lol.

Yup, also known as the best color.

Pics for telluride or k5? Post the link if for the telluride.
Let’s just pretend white is the best choice.

I’ve been questioning the GWP too. I felt a lot better about the SWP but the new one just feels so stark and flat.
