Wanted to pop my head in and say hello! Have not been a part of a car forum since early mid 2000's when I had my Evo IX GSR and Ap1 S2000.

Hello all!

Hello all!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Telluride! What did the Telluride replace for you? I'm glad you found us.

We went with a 2022 Pearl White EX.

Considering the markups and dealer accessories that were added on it came out to 58k out the door with $0 down. We did manage to get the nightfall package added within the price.

We were looking at the 4runners, RAM 1500 and Rebel edition but...for what our family needs, this was a great a logical choice.

Only thing I would have changed would have been to get the Wolf Grey color but the markups on those were an additional 4k-6k.

Definitely loving the interior and still much to learn about all the options. As a very luxury feel to the interior.

Great choice! What additional add ons did the dealer add? What Socal Dealer did you end up purchasing from? We ended up buying ours last year from Kia of Carson.

Car Pro's of Huntington Beach. They offered the lowest OTD of all of the ones in a 50 mile radius. ><

Vin etching, wheel locks, mud flaps and 1 other thing. Essentially b.s stuff I could have got for 300$ myself or less but...they have to make their money.

Hasn't replaced either of our cars yet (Kia Niro and Honda Accord) but most likely trading the wifes accord as it has 80k miles and cost the same to fill up as the Telluride. lol

For some reason I didn’t end up checking Car Pro’s. We did visit Kia of Irvine, Kia of Garden Grove and Kia of Carson. Kia of Irvine was not so helpful seemed pushy and just not pleasant to work with. Crazy mark ups. Garden Grove was good just didn’t have what we wanted. Kia of Carson obviously won since that’s where purchased ours. Straight to the point on price. No add ons other than the OEM Carpet Floor Mats. Are you considering buying some upgrades for it? Interior stuff like all weather floor mats, rear protector or OEM Roor bars. If so, let me know I will be putting some up for sale. Ended up with an extra pair.

Ouch. That looks like a hefty markup. Looks to be about about 13k. I'm in your area and Car Pros is pretty outrageous. They were marking up an EX 15k when I went there. I ended up at Garden Grove Kia. 5k markup for an EX PNT in Gravity Gray coming in 2/23. 6 week wait not too bad.
