What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

Lev Kia in Framingham, MA. Paid MSRP + $375 doc fee minus available Kia incentives. No surprises at delivery.
 
Just called Superior Kia in Cincinnati - they do indeed order with a price $1000 under MSRP.
Has anyone actually dealt with Superior Kia? I called them also, and was told they do 1k off MSRP. I haven’t been able to get ahold of them again, just worried there’s some catch, and I’ll order one and they do something with the price when it comes in.
 
Just watch your local dealers. I have one by me that has had the same 6 Tellurides on the lot for over a week. I know this because I write down the vin #'s. Out of 4 dealers around me only 3 were sold. Every other car maker is knocking off thousands this time of year. I was quoted the other day 42k for a brand new 2020 fully loaded Highlander platinum and that was just through an email. If I went in I could probable shave off even more Ill give it a couple more days then see how desperate KIA dealers are to sell one. Ill be asking 6k under MSRP on the SX. They only sold 50k units last year and if they double or triple their supply this year there will be plenty of bargaining going on.
I'll be watching this. I want a Tellirude but not at 50,000 for a SXP. Will be waiting and watching.
 
I had ordered one at msrp, no extras, due Jan. 29. Another dealer had exact car on lot in October for $3000 over msrp. Today, end of month November, they dropped the price to msrp. I called and offered to drive out (less than 1 hour) and bring it home today if they would deal. Got it for $500 under msrp, then another $200 off for a little spot on the hood, $500 cash back for financing, which we will pay in full first month, and $100 back on my Costco card for the $10,000 down payment. So end price to me was $1300 below msrp for my 2021 Sangria SX AWD and it’s tucked into my garage tonight as the snow falls!
Please post picture of that Sangria!!! Everlasting Silver and Sangria is my color. Love owning a RED SUV. Sangria is as close as I can get!!!

That's probably why they had 12. Same as Elk Grove. I guess if nothing else a good place to go check out the colors.
My dealer had 32!

Hello, where in Michigan? I'm also in the market still juggling between Telluride/Palisade. Leather seats with 20 inch wheels is my only requirement, I figured SEL premium on Palisade will cover my requirement, still not sure what trim and what packages I would need on the Telluride. I want to pick whichever would be cheaper. Thanks!

EX Premium package or SX(comes with black rims) would he the versions that compare.

I ordered mine today! Ended up going with the Moss w/Dune Brown SX w/Prestige AWD, $46,215 out the door w/the following accessories at no cost: Illuminated scuff plates, all weather mats w/trunk liner, cargo net, rear bumper protection, and side steps at dealer cost. The rebates I got were the 1000 competitor and 400 military off MSRP. Not much of a discount and I shopped 8 dealers, most had the vehicle priced at an average 5k above MSRP when I see those side stickers I walk away. I did not pay tax as I'm a disable vet in GA. 1.9 @ 60. The nice thing is that the dealer is letting me drive a Sorento SX while the order comes in which is roughly 60 days away.
Wow did you get a good deal! I got mine at 49 k with the added nightfall package
 
I am in NC so not actually going to buy from them but I have been in communication with Duchess Kia in Poughkeepsie, NY. (Close to my parents but with the Covid situation I just too hesitant to go up there right now.) They said to me that they are selling at MSRP and have been very good with communication. If you are in that area, might be worth it to contact them.
I've got relatives up there too. I actually stopped by a few weeks before Thanksgiving and it was fairly quiet. Dealership's a bit dated but they seemed okay. That's where I test drove the only Telly on their lot, a 2020 used SX (the only time I test drove before buying my Telluride). At the time they were wiped out of all Tellys but maybe things changed since. Just remember being at the dealership and overheard someone working there on the phone was saying how most of the inbound cars were snapped up.
 
I'm finding in CA it's more like 5K over MSRP. I'm still looking...
Returned to KIA in Carson, CA yesterday, they still had $63215 on the window sticker. Drove home last night with a Wolf Gray SX T/N/P with floor mats and cross bars and Cila jet treatment for $52.5K + tax and registration. After talking Lewis Belt at HillTop yesterday and Lucas Boehm from KIAofMuncie and considered one on Facebook from Zach Dahlin in Ohio that would be arriving in February. In the end I figured that paying a little more and having it now was worth it compared to waiting 6 to 8 month and paying MSRP, or with a small discount. I was spending way to much time on hunting for a deal.

As Telly shopping in Southern California can be a gut wrenchingly frustrating experience I ventured further a field and considered a Genesis GV80 (can't go the look of the Palisade) Test drove one on Monday, really liked the drive and the equipment. Disliked the lack of captains chairs (the middle seat is terrible) and lack of 3rd row (unless paying for the top trim) Also, it has too much chrome when seen in the sun outdoors. Then again my new car has nightfall trim so I guess I wasn't a fan of chrome to begin with. Genesis of South Bay and the Genesis Concierge service had put me off the brand, but a chance connection with Genesis of Corona and Roman Sobolkin brought me back. They will sell at MSRP, so if you want a car for Christmas......

I would recommend Kia Mall of Georgia in Buford, Georgia. I worked with Richard Ball, 678-804-2000, cell 678-758-7930. I put down a $1000 deposit on 8/28/20 to order a 2021 SX AWD with Prestige/Towing – Dark Moss with Dune Brown interior. Came in early afternoon of 12/11/20 and I picked it up on Wednesday. I paid sticker price as promised and no drama with a very easy transaction. Probably one of the easiest car purchases I made. MSRP only works if custom ordering.

Hey congrats! I ended up doing the same at Kia of Carson. It was only a few hundred more than paying MSRP and shipping costs from other dealers and I had a more pressing need for a new vehicle so I just went for it (Probably the solo one because the other one had a tow hitch if I remember correctly).
I think I saw your Telluride when I went to pick out mine! It had to be one of these.746A9A40-51C6-4AA7-A8A0-20CC0BD92D19.webp
