Good Dealer Dealings - List Your Good Dealer Experience

[StephenCantrelle]

Ordered a new Dark Moss, light grey interior, FWD EX with a bench seat in early October 2020 from Stephen Cantrelle at Classic Kia in Carrollton, TX and received it the second week in November! I found Stephen on this website and the process ordering, communicating, and picking up the car was perfectly seamless! He honored the MSRP price and ordered and received exactly the vehicle I wanted. Kia Moritz in FW would only order with dealer added additions at a high price. Kia dealer in Denton were nice but unresponsive. Thanks, Stephen!

Thank you for the kind words. My pleasure helping on my end!

Opposite side of Philly from DE if that is your location, but I have a deposit down for an MSRP purchase from Sussman Kia in Roslyn, PA. Murray Kia in Conshohocken, PA is another MSRP option. There may be closer dealers that are selling at MSRP, but I don't know of others in the SEPA area beyond the two I mentioned.

What sort of deal did you get at Concord Kia? A week ago they quoted me a $7K markup on an SX-AWD-P/T.

New (Proud) Telluride owners here! Just brought home our 2021 EX AWD in Glacial White Pearl / Gray Interior with Tow package for $500 below MSRP at LaFontaine Kia in Dearborn, MI. Chris Sutton and his team were amazing to work with! We started emailing/texting with them on a Tuesday evening and by Saturday we pulled the trigger on this vehicle that just came off the truck. We also traded in our 2012 Honda Ody at a fair price. They are completely transparent on cost and didn’t mind when I pulled out the calculator to verify the numbers. We are very excited to join the Kia family and hope the Telluride delivers on its promise.

We just ordered from LaFontaine KIA in Dearborn Michigan. They are the only one around not jacking up the pricing and will order at msrp. They are a preferred, high volume dealer. They have someone coming from Oregon for a car. My timing was good because this is Kia order week, their orders will probably go in on Thursday. Ask for Anthony Trupiano and tell him Janet Browne sent you! He gives a referral bonus!

I didn’t see this before I posted my reply to this thread but we also worked with this dealership. We had a similar experience with our salesperson Chris Sutton and his team. Definitely recommended!

Anyone in southern california purchase recently? Trying to figure out where to order one. Looking like Colorado is a popular place to order and ship from. Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm just starting the process and in Southern California. Can you recommend a good dealer that let you order a 2021 AWD Telluride SXP, Black Copper, at MSRP?

Hilltop Kia in NorCal might be your best bet. Ask for Moe (510) 330-0115. I didn’t end up going with them, but they sell at MSRP and have great reviews.

Drove out from Kansas City to St. Louis to pick up my Gravity Gray EX yesterday at Lou Fusz. Spotted it online before it was at the dealership, reserved it and the rest is history. Worked with Kris in sales and Joe in the finance department and they were both great. Covered what they needed to and got me in and out. I can’t imagine it going any smoother. It was about a 4 hour drive both ways and I was at the dealership for an hour and a half.

I got a standard AWD EX because my wife wanted the 2nd row bench but the exterior would be the same. Here’s a couple pictures of the outside.

Beauty!! I think the chrome accents really pop on the GG. Love it!

I worked with Alex from Finnin Kia in Dubuque, IA for my Sorento lease three years ago and now the Telluride. They’ve been very transparent, give me all the numbers up front and it always matches my own calculations. There’s no shadiness going on, they’re not trying to hide anything or mislead you to a poor deal - they just give you a good price and lay it all out without pushing anything. Great experience! Even though we’re now 3 hours away, we still went with them for the Telluride (and will very likely again in 3 years for the next lease/purchase if we stick with Kia).

Saw this post back in August and gave them a call. We placed our Telluride order early August and we picked it up last Saturday. Alex and April were wonderful to work with. We live in Wisconsin and it was well worth the 2 hour drive.

Hey sorry just now seeing this. Look at post #605 of this thread, but I live in Washington State and went with White’s Mountain Kia in Casper, Wyoming. I can’t imagine the experience being any better and highly recommend them.

Good experience in Northern Virginia at Parsons Kia (Winchester).

Called last week and spoke with Mike. Super nice guy and he told me that they sell at MSRP plus $650 processing, tax, and tags / title.

Gave me a rundown of their incoming Tellurides and was able to put a $100 deposit down to hold a Black Copper EX Nightfall arriving mid-December. We went to see an SX that they had on the lot to see the color in person. My wife changed her mind and we ended up ordering a Dark Moss EX Nightfall at MSRP. No surprises or pressure.

Highly recommend Mike and Parsons for anyone in Northern VA looking for a reasonable price and a small family dealer! They have quite a few coming in next month!
