Best Deal in Atlanta Area (or within driving distance)

[Pharmagc]

I'm new here, so hopefully this is posting in the correct place. I'm wondering if anyone has insight on the best deal in the Atlanta area? I'm willing to go afield, ideally within about 8 hour drive in any direction...but if I could find it locally or at least under 5 hours, even better. Before I consider shipping or a longer trek, I'd like to make sure I'm not missing any options closer. I have been in touch with Lucas at Muncie Kia but that's about as far as I'd like to go....sounds like 6-8 mos wait. I'm looking for SX-P (or possibly SX) w/ nightfall package in wolf gray. I'm not in a huge rush, sooner would be great but I'm willing to wait a bit on an order to get a better deal. Ideally something at MRSP. I saw Matthews Kia of Cartersville mentioned here as MSRP option in the area, but I called them yesterday and he said they JUST started charging $3995 upcharge b/c all of the orders were cutting down their allocation. On the few places I've contaced & heard back from I've also found that ALM Kia charges $4K upcharge, Kia Atlanta South has $5995 markup, Kia Mall of GA said $7k markup (and these are all on lot or orders). But, there are many I haven't inquired with. I thought maybe someone here already had some intel. Anyone got any leads? Thanks in advance!

At the time I placed my order Ed Voyles Chamblee was selling at MSRP for orders, but my understanding is now they charge +$2000.

I’ll have to check in with them. I kind of assumed they would be higher than most on the upcharge.

I just ordered mine yesterday at the Kia Store in Clarksville, IN, which is basically Lousville. It was $1K over MSRP but we're trying to get it in time for a spring break road trip so I just decided to go for it. The salesperson told me 10-12 weeks - I hope it comes that fast!

I have family in KY…so that may be a decent option for me to look into!

Did they add anything on otherwise? I did call and it sounds like it's is +$2k there now but that may be the best deal around here if they don't tack anything else on. He said doc fee is $798.

Doc fee was it for me. No other add ons or hidden fees.

@Howard3415 I did try calling them yesterday. I spoke with Tom and he told me it would be MSRP + $3990 for an order there. He also mentioned a $1K deposit. So, maybe they've changed their deal as well since you ordered yours. I told him I thought they were doing $1K over MRSP and he said maybe that deal was negotiated but he didn't seem to extend the offer it to me.

That stinks! I just ordered on Saturday. My sales person is Justin Vandegrift if you want to try him. I didn't try to negotiate because I figured $1K over was the best I could get without a long wait.

Hello this is Justin Vandegrift Internet Manager at Kia Clarksville Indiana. We are doing the $1k over MSRP. We also have a $199 Doc Fee and $315 Title/license Fee and then your state specific taxes. If you wish to get the vehicle shipped to your house we just get a quote from the transportation company and just add it to the price (no markup on transportation). Get in touch with me if you have any questions or would like to place an order. Order times is roughly 10-16 weeks that the Factory is quoting us. One question that I had asked our Regional Territory Kia Rep why wait times are different in other parts of the country and he explained that it is based on that specific Dealerships sales and orders on the Tellurides. The more we sell these Tellurides the quicker we get allocations and orders. We also own the dealerships in Louisville Kentucky and they don't really do any orders. Not sure why. They do Allocations which is extremely competitive because they go quick but if you would like to place an order just get in touch
Thanks
