In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Finding/repairing Tellurides around Northern Indiana

So after some unfortunate circumstances (another car blew a stop sign and hit our '21 Telluride pretty good), I may be in the market for a new Telluride to replace our Wolf Gray EX. I know the market's still crazy for Tellurides right now, so I was curious if anyone's had any luck near the Northern Indiana area? I see Kia of Muncie's been a huge help for many, but I haven't been able to find many in stock or in shipment that are even close to what we are replacing (I hate the idea of having to settle over someone else's mistake). The markups are still astounding at many; Fort Wayne Kia said their markups are 5k standard on all; and we paid 5k plus additional markup for our Wolf Gray when we bought from Andy Mohr in Avon (after the salesperson agreed to a specific price then said he made a mistake). I can't fathom paying another insane markup....

So that being said, are there any good dealers around here that are actually respectable and won't gouge you? And are the lead times for custom orders really still at 10-12 months?

In the event that insurance doesn't total the car (even though they've hinted that it's likely), has anyone had experience in lead times for replacement parts? Some pics of damage for reference.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or input!
