Dealer Markup

Same in SWFL..min of 5K over sticker + up to 2400 in dealer charges and add ons. Complete highway robbery... But someone is paying it....
I'd easily drive out of state to pay MSRP and 199.00 doc fee. What a bunch of gangsters...
What is really odd is you can buy a in stock loaded Palisade under sticker in the same town !
I just like the look of the Palisade. The inside is nice. The grill kills that truck.
 
This help hold the values at least. I like to look at the brightside of things.
It holds the value for now, which helps those who may decide to sell in the shorter term. At some point supply will catch up with demand. Then value will normalize and what is happening now will only hurt the equity for those who paid these extreme markups.
 
The dealership I am at now has an Ex Nightfall Wolf Gray for $54k. Almost 9k markup for "fair market adjustments".

Sounds like a CA vehicle
 
Did you drive it and have any luck getting them to move on the markup?
I bought the S a year and a half ago before all the nonsense started and got it 1k below sticker. There are other dealers within reasonable proximity that are at or below MSRP with a few discounts. But using them for service and seeing that just itritates me.
 
All the dealers in the SF Bay Area and LA Area are charging anywhere between $2k - $6k mark up above the MSRP. I called a dealer in Houston, TX and they are not doing that. CA is the only state that it is charging extra for this car. I guess is the law of supply and demand.
The Kia Dealership in Billings Montana has marked there Telluride up to $68 on the SX Prestige model.

That's why they have 5 in stock of the 15 they received since February.

I can't imagine there is a bank around that is willing to finance a $49K vehicle for $68k. But hey, lot of folks out there still paying cash
 
Greenville South Carolina. Kia of Greenville
If you don’t mind driving, I bought that exact car (wolf gray nightfall ex) at Kia west atlanta for msrp last week. Only a couple hours from Greenville

NJ Kia Dealer. Telluride SX, prestige & Night fall packages.
Salesmen came back with insane numbers. I asked what he was basing that on and have gave me some dealer approved addendum ( fancy way of saying Markup) $8000 over sticker!
I literally laughed in his face, this isn’t some limited edition super car!
 
Hendrick Kia in Cary is the best place to purchase from. There were no mark ups.
That explains why they haven't had any in stock for weeks.
 
Courtesy Kia of Brandon is adding on $1895 for Llumar window tint with a lifetime warranty, wheel locks, door edge guards, splash guards, and a NG2 Nano Based Paint sealant. Plus they have a 799 Predelivery Service Charge.
 
New here looking to purchase a White SX or SXP in Central PA. Went to fred beans kia in mechanicsburg and they wanted 8K over sticker. 5K for adjustment and 3K for this BS appearance package. I got them to drop the 5k adjustment but I refuse to pay over sticker. I'm a serious buyer. I'm willing to travel 200 or so miles to get a good deal. I also called browns in manassas va and they wanted 12K over sticker and got upset when I laughed at them. So if anyone has a lead on a White SX or SXP at msrp let me know.


Also I think if Kia allowed this markup this is a bad move for the brand in the long run.
Did you end up purchasing yet? I am in Central PA as well and Fred Beans just quoted me $10k over MSRP...LOL what a joke...
