2nd transaction with Hilltop Kia

Congrats, it looks great!!
 
Hi @Moe

No worries, just want to let this forum know that there is hope for people in Northern CA :).

Yes the black on black on black is amazing! I think the nightfall edition is best on black!! Car looks so Nice (I’m a bit jealous on the inside 😂).. wish Kia would offer reliable option to blackout 2020 models 🤯

Thanks,

Looks really nice. You got lucky on that one
 
Seeing a nice run of SX popping up on Failcat for Hilltop. 7 total, all in the last week. Good news for those with Aug/Sep allocations

My SX (Dark Moss/Butterscotch) showed up today 🤩
Heck ya! That’s awesome! When is your eta? I’m hoping to see my VIN in the next few days, too

Confirming that Salinas is doing MSRP but they are super low volume.

Capitol Kia was willing to deal MSRP at the end of the month for inventory on the lot. At least that was true on 31st July! :)

I also placed my order from I-25 in CO at MSRP, and they were great to work with. ~$1k delivery to NorCal and dealer fee of $700 though!
I'm in the same boat. I ordered through I-25 in early August after shopping around. I was expecting 4-6 months until delivery but I lucked into an early allocation and be driving it back since I won't have to deal with Colorado winter. Driving it back should save me $700 versus shipping it since flights are so cheap right now.

10/22, which would be 5 weeks for transit. My experience has been shipping to CA typically requires 3-5 weeks, so this is a conservative estimate. I've seen it go as low as two weeks. Fingers crossed that I have it in early October 🤞

10/21 for us. Just below you on the Hilltop list. SX-N/T/P BCP with Dune. Missing some of the PIO ordered but can always do it later.
 
Sharing a data point here for everyone:

My car arrived at Hilltop Kia 32 days after my VIN popped up on Failcat. Counting only business days it was 22 days after the VIN appeared.

Happy waiting y'all! :)
Excellent data point and thank you for sharing 🙂 Hoping to see my VIN debut in the next couple days so that my ETA holds firm
 
I'll add another data point...my vehicle arrived 10 days before the very first ETA I received. Was also delivered in end Aug so it's pretty reflective of current delivery times I'd think!

10 days early is quite a treat! I just found my VIN today on Failcat - missing a couple PIO, but whatever - and it included a new ETA of 1 day earlier than the initial. If it’s anything like yours, 10 days early, I feel like I’d be getting spoiled lolz

That was EXACTLY the same as us missing PIO's and from 10/22 to now 10?21. Maybe you can put some pressure on Carlos as I tried to get him to do the PIO's for cost of what I placed in the Kia Order. No fault of ours. That was the way we placed our order to Kia. Very happy to be getting one early!

Which options are you missing? Looks like mine is without the illuminated scuff plates, interior light kit, and folding cargo tray

Illuminated Scuff Plates Side Step Bars Cargo Folding Tray We had ordered more but was told Kia limited the order to six options. The ISP's and SSB's were the most important to us and will cost way more than the $310 and $690 by third party providers. Carlos had to admit to that. I don't want anything extra or special, just what we ordered and was accepted by Kia

Funny thing. Kia Oakland ordered TWO EXACT Nightfall editions with all the same options. Each vehicle had six options installed. Each had the IIluminated Scuff Plates and Interior Light Kit So it can be made. Mistake? Omission? Wish Hilltop could assist us.

Bookmarking this. Ordered from HillTop for a Wolf Grey SXP-T AWD. Today, we were been given a very rough estimate of Oct 22nd. Hopefully more details next week....?

How do you all find your specific VIN on failcat? Just assume that the options/color/location that matches yours build is really yours?

Nice! Been looking forward to seeing a Wolf Grey in person! Yes, exactly. Match all those and you can verify with Hilltop or one of the dealers on the forum helping members
