Any dealerships taking an order @MSRP in Chicago area or Illinois?

Good to hear! Just curious - do you plan on getting the extended warranty through Muncie? I can’t decide if it’s worth it and know there are at least one thread devoted to the pros and cons.
Honestly, I'm not sure yet. I figure I'll drive it for a few weeks to make sure I really love it as much as everybody else here seems to. And if I do, I'll likely splurge on it from Muncie.

I am hesitant because I bought an extended warranty for my 2016 Jeep Cherokee, and the couple small things that have gone wrong with it over the years weren't even covered. It's always a gamble!
 
Post some pics when you get the car. Would love to see what ES looks like with nightfall. Exciting!!!!!
Just picked up earlier this week - couple pictures. The color is amazing and changes so much depending on the light. 881AC22F-2DF8-46FC-A460-CD90AAF5B00E.webp3A926F01-5618-4AA3-A2DB-D75EB4A8BCFF.webp

Finnin Kia in Dubuque, IA normally doesn't have a waitlist and sells at MSRP. They have been really great to work with so far. Ask for Keri.
I also bought at Finnin Kia in Dubuque, IA for MSRP plus Pulse. Pulse is sold on all their cars. But it still saved me a major bundle. I had dealer markups as high as 30% or $13K in Chicago.

Any dealers marking up even 1 dollar over MSRP in the Chicago area is not selling any cars.
Last time I checked on Kia site 370 Tellurides available for sale in the area.
Dealers are starting to drown in inventory, don't pay anything more than 5% below MSRP. Deals can be had if you are patient.
 
The Kia dealer in Shiloh ILLinois is all MSRP. I can't recall the name. Saw a salesman promoting this on a Facebook group. It would be about 4 1/2 hours from Chicago.

They should be below MSRP as some around here already are, but may be a different situation if you are not near a major metro area.
 
International Kia of Orland is MSRP. We reserved one coming in soon with a $1,000 deposit, SX X Line with exterior and interior color we wanted.
 
Is it refundable?

Glad to hear they are back at MSRP. That’s where I bought my 22 a little over a year ago.

I don’t actually know, we knew what we wanted so I didn’t ask…
Who did you work with at Orland? Would you recommend them? Thinking of placing an order with them as well.

Finnin Kia in Dubuque, IA (about 3 miles into the IL-IA border) is MSRP plus $349 for Pulse. They also are generous on trade in values. Excellent option and it is about 20 minutes from Galena, IL. $500 deposit and ask for Jared Williams or Lucas Herber.
 
Is it refundable?
I put a deposit down with them too and they said it's non-refundable. I spoke with the manager Mike and he said that although that's the dealerships' policy they would refund it if something came up and I could no longer buy the car, take that for whatever it's worth.

Muhammad (Moe) and Emmalee. Both have been very responsive. We’re supposed to pick up on Saturday.

We just picked up a SX X Line today and it was great! I’d recommend them for sure. We came from St. Louis and they had everything ready (didn’t need financing so that made it easier I’m sure).
