Paying $3k extra for the conversion. Pricey but YOLO…? Also you need to buy the wheels separately but i’ll sell the stock ones to recoup costs.
I put my deposit down 4/16, this was a pre spec'd car that was exactly what we wanted.
When you go to the DMV and if the i25 paperwork is already received, you just tell them the vehicle entry date. If no paperwork, you start the registration process with your application and probably do a 30 temporary registration until paperwork arrives. For me, i25 collected the CA registration fee, so I have to pay the other CA fees. Also, you need a smog test first and DMV will do a physical vehicle inspection.
I bet Kia would have been plenty happy to take that 3K and given you the bench seat and the nightfall direct from the factory. It's dumb that they don't offer a bench option in the EXP or SX imo.
Yes I totally agree. I would rather have a bench seat with all that an SX offers. With bench seat it gives more options to travel w more people when friends and family are in town.
Salinas Kia. Rally Kia.
As things look now it seems the most logical choice, with the 2022 transition and chip shortage slow down and only one factory that produces the Telluride. Make a road trip of it, or pay to ship $1,300 to $1,500. I had no FedEx issues, because I flew out to Denver and drove Telluride home to SD, did paperwork at dealership.

$900 in registration cost!? That sounds too high for Telluride in California.As things look now it seems the most logical choice, with the 2022 transition and chip shortage slow down and only one factory that produces the Telluride.

DMV, make sure you get a smog check, form 343 done, proof of insurance and have registration docs sent to a designated DMV in CA. *(I did this...but, i25 registration clerk sat on my docs for 19 days and didn't send until I inquired, after being rejected at DMV.) Docs were sent to DMV FedEx and arrived the next day, DMV issued me a 30 day temporary registration. I still need to go back and finish the process. I think that is why i25 gives you a 60 day registration, as "those out of state folks" get a certain priority...
● Go to DMV before 20 days before has elapsed after returning to CA, if going dealer pick route. After 20 days, $500 fine. (Note: DMV relies on the date entering CA that YOU provide on form 343. The registration cost(s) were about $900, with no fine in my case.
California Telly Owners! *tips, recommendations, etc.*
That’s awesome! I live in Elk Grove, and no way was I buying from any local dealers (the markups are crazy here!). I’ll probably contact Lewis (the guy I’m working with at Hilltop) to see what the status is, and if they anticipate it to be before the 8 months. If not, I don’t mind pay a little...
No. Running the SX-P (cost, taxes, vehicle type) information through the DMV website calculator it matches attached receipt. Checked with another Colorado/California purchaser and the numbers are the same. Calculate New Resident Fees
I believed your California registration fees should be closer to $649. The $280 use tax is the California sales tax which would be the difference of the sales tax that i25 collected and forwarded to CA. Mine came to $617.
Absolutely correct. That's what I was thinking..
@SLPV caused me to pull out all the paperwork and look at the numbers again. Spot on, in Section 6 of DMV 343 form, I put the MSRP + Doc fee + tax assessed as the as the purchase price, It is the amount the DMV looks at, basically, I taxed myself at 55k, instead of 50k @ 7.75%.
