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...

We have been looking at Tellys since they came out and are so close to pulling the trigger on a 2021 SXP NF with under 40k miles for around $43K. I am also seeing brand new 2023 EX for the same price and SX for only a couple thousand dollars more.

What would you do and why?

Trying to find a dealer that will sell you a Telly at MSRP is difficult at this time.

I was on the '23 SX AWD X-Line path for MSRP + $2K markup for a bit but ended up getting a '22 SXP AWD for MSRP. If I was you, I would go with the '23 EX or SX if you can afford them and get them at MSRP over the 40K miles '21.

The other thing is, and you can check out on the forums, is many people are complaining about the Nightfall trim flaking and having difficulty with Kia and getting replacements or warranted I think. I went with the Ebony Black SX and just Nightfalled all the badging but left the other silver trim. Good compromise since I wanted the Nightfall as well but couldn't find an EX or SX AWD with it.

The above is just my opinion though so take it for what it is worth. In the end, it is your car and you have to be happy with your decision. Good luck with your decision.

Depends where you are located and your time frame for buying. Some dealers in the Midwest are actually pricing the Telluride fairly. I think you can get an SX for under 50K.
