    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. 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. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Non Nightfall SX Prestige Waiting Room

JerseySXP said:
I called and asked for the owner - his name is in the dealership name so not hard to ask for him by name.

I said sir...I've been patiently waiting for my telluride and the NJ average doc fee is $400 so fine you can have that but I will not pay you $300 to etch my VIN that I can do myself.

He agreed to remove it.

@JerseySXP have you seen this? The etching and doc fees are there. Interesting in how they vary by state:

11 FAKE FEES: DO NOT PAY at Car Dealerships - by AUTO Expert: Kevin Hunter 2020​

Oh yeah I'm aware of most of these bogus fees.

The doc fees at $400 are normal unfortunately for jersey. My last 3 cars all had this at $300-$500...

So be it. I got my dealer to remove the VIN etching bogus charge though.

Picking her up on Tuesday!

Haven't posted here in a while. We got out first snow white EX-P in March after a 4.5 month wait. COVID was in full swing so it didn't get a lot of use. At 1,200 miles my wife was cut off by some pothead in a BMW and the car was a total loss (wife and daughter good but wife is still has neck pain and just received her second cervical epidural this past Wednesday). Took forever to square-up with insurance because Kia finance is in California and was locked down. I loved the Telluride but between the terrible dealership experience and Kia finance sucking wind taking months to email a single sheet of paper, I had a really bad taste in my mouth. I was sure I'd be driving an Explorer ST next time around.

Fast forward: we hemmed and hawed but she wanted another Telluride. Then Kia wasn't taking orders. Finally ordered another one and it's supposed to arrive this Tuesday. Only about a 2 month wait this time. Hope the interior color is correct this time (last time we ordered Dune and received Black). This time I got the tow package too which I regretted not ordering last time. Will be cool to have remote start on the fob as well. Kia finance sucks and the best they can offer is 1.9% so we're paying cash. Hope things go better this time around. Will post pics when she arrives!

SXP Production was up again this past week. I am starting to see more SX tellurides in my area. Saw two yesterday. One a black NFP - have to admit in all black - that thing looked sinister...but those wheels?! of course after admiring the look of it - I wondered how much over sticker they paid to be driving that! So thankful for @StephenCantrelle and my MSRP deal.

Wow...Prestige Trims are running 25% of monthly production so far this month. Pushing for higher revenue for year end I assume.

Love it so far.

It's dirty because I told them to not detail it. Just hosed it down with water. On my way to the detailer.

Congratulations!! I know it's been a long journey. Can't wait to see our Moss/Dune SXP in a couple weeks.

@JerseySXP When you get a chance, can you post some photos of the interior to the "Dune Brown Interior Feedback" thread? I'll do the same when I get my Telly but you got yours first! Dune Brown Interior Feedback :)

Definitely will do!

Feels so empty not having my baby in the driveway. Detailer takes 24-36 hours for the process to truly cure.

Next in line though!IMG_20201124_153038.webp

Feels like one of the last of the pre-shutdown finally getting his ride! Congrats brother and enjoy her!

Sweet man! She’s looking great. Does it live up to your expectations and the hype surrounding it?

Oh yeah it definitely does!

Love it so far. This will be the first night I have it - can't wait to take it out a nighttime spin.

Feeling some interesting vibration at highway speeds so I have some researching to do...
