2nd transaction with Hilltop Kia

Hi all, I originally placed an order with Charles for Glacier White/Grey SX Nightfall back in October. Carlos entered the order into the system back then and I've been working with Raoul ever since Charles left.

I spoke with Raoul earlier today and still nothing. Next month will be 7 months. Hopefully we hear some good news in May.
I hope you were informed of a $4k markup that they would charge you now.
 
Thankfully there were no last-minute surprise dealer add-ons. No nitrogen-filled tires scam. No fake additional "doc fees" or "e-filing" nonsense. No BS pin-striping. No mysterious interior/exterior treatments/coatings no one's ever heard of. If they would have pulled some "security" "package" with etching the VIN on the windows and charging $400 for it, we would have walked. I hate surprises and there were zero at Hilltop. Carlos and Lewis treated us like valued customers, and because of their professionalism from start to finish, I've already recommended Hilltop, and the guys who helped me, to numerous friends, family, and even random strangers who ask me about my Telly at gas stations and parking lots, which happens at least a handful of times each week. I'll probably go back myself when I'm ready to get a Stinger, a Forte, a Raptor, or another Telly! :)

Luckily, everything at Hilltop went perfectly. I received updates and clarification whenever I asked.

Most importantly, the exact Telly I wanted was spec'd out, we put down the deposit to get in line, waited, and soon enough the order was picked up by KFOS and the beautiful AWD Dark Moss Dune Brown SX P/T was built, tested and delivered.

The team at Hilltop Kia are true professionals: upfront, honest, and transparent regarding what you're going to pay, what you're going to get.

MSRP + tax, title, license. That was it. More than reasonable and fair for what's turned out to be the Mid-Sized 3-Row SUV of the Year, again. I was never so happy to pay MSRP in my life. It's a win-win for us and the excellent sales team at Hilltop. (y)
Did you get their extended warranty or their service warranty? Any inputs on the said warranties?
 
If I placed order with them last Nov at MSRP, will they now add a markup?
It's best you or anyone that have is on the order to contact your sales person you placed the order with as he is the only best person to answer your questions vs posting it here. Thanks

Agreed, all is good on my end. There's lots of noise on some of these forums so need to focus on my own situation and not listen to all of the noise...

Exactly.
 
I picked up my Telluride at MRSP no mark up last week. I was told that my particular order was the longest they've had (9-10 months)! But all of the folks at Hilltop who worked with me were awesome despite my impatience. Raoul, Lewis, and Carlos/Charles before them were great.
 
@Moe I'm out in the East Bay. If you can factory order a Telluride SX for me at MSRP - I'll be coming in to make the purchase
