In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Order to delivery time

Anyone in the Northeast that has been waiting an unusually long time to get their Telly delivered to the dealer?

Timeline in signature...I got my VIN# a long time ago...being told the vehicle is just waiting a ride up here at the port...
 
Aloha guys! My first post! Put a refundable deposit with the local dealer but since I’m in Hawaii all dealerships are under one called Aloha Kia. I was told 3-6 months wait for my specific color ensemble but idk I’m still researching mainland dealerships to see if it’s worth it cuz they’re marking up $4950 above MSRP so yep $49k for an SX with butterscotch interior. Wondering what’s the average wait time anyone has been told in the past month? I was also told by the local dealer if there is one in transit that’s similar on their factory orders I would get first dibs so maybe sooner than 3 months?! We shall see!

The Hawaiian Paradise tax. Then you have to pay the GET on the mark-up. Try Richmond Kia in CA. They sell at MSRP and are close to a port for shipping. There doesn't seem to be anyone in the greater LA area that sells at MSRP. It would be much cheaper to buy in CA and have it shipped for a couple grand.....

There is plenty of info on this board. Put hilltop kia (I got it wrong in the original post - it is in Richmond CA) in the search tool and you will find out who the people on the board worked with along with their phone number.
 
So i was under the impression if I ordered one after Sep 2020, turn around time is 3months or so? I haven't received a vin from my dealership. Should i be concerned?
 
We ordered ours in October and we haven't heard from anyone at the dealer. I've set up a reminder for me to call the dealer on 12/1 which would be 6 weeks to check-in again

got it thanks again!
 
The peanut has started to be pushed forward! We placed our order on Oct. 26, they were able to place the order with KIA on Nov. 5 and today, Nov. 12, we were told that KIA has accepted the order! Now the wait for an ETA and the patient wait for a VIN!
I am in the same boat...
Ordered 10/26
Placed with Kia 10/29
Picked by KFOS 11/12

Do you know how long it typically takes to get the VIN?
Thanks!

When it is pick up by KFOS, it will give you an approximate delivery date. The VIN will be created about a month before the delivery date

Thanks for the info! Is that typically when the dealer gives you the ETA or do they wait until there is a VIN assigned?

They are given an ETA when KFOS accepts the order. If it was actually accepted, they have an ETA already. Mine was accepted today and I have a January ETA.

Mine was accepted today also, supposed to be January 2, looking forward to the new year, for MANY reasons!!

I just emailed my dealer and he said he'd find it and send it to me tomorrow. Thanks all!
 
@StephenCantrelle by any chance would you mind seeing if the initials AJ are associated with vin: 5XYP5DHC5MG140485? Thank you for your time.

Finally the day arrived for me after almost 4 months of wait. Got a call from my dealer that my Telluride is here and ready to be picked up. I would like to thank @StephenCantrelle for keeping up with me in checking my VIN status every time I requested. :) Will be picking up my Telluride probably tomorrow. Can't get anymore excited!
 
How does a dealer’s current order list impact a customer order? My dealer ME007 has several Tellurides with VINs assigned. Does that mean all of those have to be manufactured before mine gets accepted? Any other impact related to the dealer? Dealer size, etc?

Depends on the dealers allocation. Big dealers get more allocations

What do you mean? Where did you get that information?
