Parsons Kia in Winchester VA just got 4 EX. MSRP. No tricks. Family owned smaller dealership. Ask for Matt Herman

I am sure many have mentioned Muncie already. Lucas was pleasure to deal with. $500 deposit refund within few days. Waiting was too long. Costco Auto discount available.

Ray Skillman Shadeland(IN) was also selling at MSRP without any dealer addons. Nolan was very good. $1000 deposit refund in about 3 days. I was waiting for dealer allotment due 11/23.

Mike Miller Kia(IL) is where I ended up. I have a $500 deposit on allotment eta on 11/3. So far so good dealing with John Kaufman. He is very responsive and answered all my questions. Pending November Kia offers but he explained all offers available for Oct. No Costco Auto discount but there might be Truecar Employee Discount($100 for my vehicle but I was too late) available.

I never thought I would see a day where I'd recommend a dealer, Kia dealer, for selling at MSRP.

Green Kia in Springfield, IL is an excellent dealer. Was in an out inside of 30 minutes. No pressure from the sales person or the finance manager. Everything was transparent and upfront.

Paid MSRP and no markup. Ask for Devin - he is an excellent resource.

I also just bought from Devin Norris at Green Kia. No hassles - I couldn't have asked for a smoother process.

I originally ordered from Ray Skillman westside Kia in Indianapolis. Ordering process there was super easy over the phone and they were great at keeping me updated. I only cancelled because the one I wanted became available at Green Kia.

I got an SX with prestige and towing, Moss with black interior

For Washington State buyers, I just called Lee Johnson Kia in Kirkland, WA and they told me that as of 10/31/20, they are selling SX models at $2000 over MSRP.

Drove our Dark Moss SX home yesterday from White's Mountain Kia in Casper, Wyoming. Sold at MSRP, $35 title fee and $169 Doc Fee. Ordered and put into KFOS on same day, 8/17/2020, and arrived on their lot 10/27/2020. Call them and ask for Taylor; he is very professional, knowledgable and a great communicator! He picked me up in our car at the airport and I drove us both back to the dealership and spent less than an hour on paperwork and delivery orientation! Oh, if you do go be sure and eat lunch at HQ BBQ in town! Mac and Cheese...yum!

Congratulations from another Dark Moss SX owner. I’ve had mine for a little over a week. What options did you get? What seat color?

What does KFOS stand for? I know it’s the ordering system, generally.

Kia Forward Ordering System. Makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.

The only option we chose was the tow package, and Nightfall. Black interior. I ordered tuxmats and had them delivered to the dealership so we would have them for the drive home. I didn’t ask them to, but my salesman Taylor had them installed already when he picked led me up. They look great! Here are pics:

We did Nightfall with Butterscotch. Also got the Cargo area cover and net plus Carpeted Floor mats. When I ppicked up the car, they had thrown in a set of all weather mats at no extra charge. I'm actually using those now instead of the Carpeted mats. (They don't look too bad and seem very functional.

I see you swapped the badges. Did you do the wheels and steering wheel also?

I’m envious of your butterscotch! Beautiful interior color but we built it up in our heads as too risky for us. The badges look better than we thought they would and are very high quality. Yes, wheels and steering wheel also. All weather mats are a must in the PNW where we live, so we won’t even put in any carpeted mats. Now we just have to figure out a good split mat in the cargo space. Canada has a good one but I guess we can’t get that one here.

Yep there is no line in Casper! If a buyer is able to fly in and it’s reasonable to drive the car back, it’s a great deal.

I would recommend Matthews Kia of Cartersville in Georgia. I worked with Chris Huth (678-918-6119). I put down a deposit on 7/21 to order a 2021 SX AWD with Prestige/Towing/Nightfall – Dark Moss with Light Gray interior. Came in early afternoon of 11/4 and I picked it up late afternoon. I paid sticker price as promised and no drama with a very easy transaction. Love the ride!

Drove my Dark Moss w/ Dune SXP home from Lee Johnson Kia in Kirkland WA on Friday!! I worked with Alex. I have bought five vehicles at LJ and all experiences have been painless. I highly recommend LJ Kia. I ordered back in Febuary. After a long time spend in the KFOS queue, order went in in July.

Sterling Kia in Bryan, Texas sells at MRSP including $400 Mil Discount. I was able to get a Sangria SX before it was delivered with $500 earnest money that went toward done payment 3 weeks prIor arrival. Drove over from San Antonio to pick up. In and out in less than an hour with my under MSRP SX. Ask for Justin Viggers.

I have Kia salesman’s calling me from all over South Central Texas but Sterling Kia just gave me a fair price. Good luck!

Ordered a new Dark Moss, light grey interior, FWD EX with a bench seat in early October 2020 from Stephen Cantrelle at Classic Kia in Carrollton, TX and received it the second week in November! I found Stephen on this website and the process ordering, communicating, and picking up the car was perfectly seamless! He honored the MSRP price and ordered and received exactly the vehicle I wanted. Kia Moritz in FW would only order with dealer added additions at a high price. Kia dealer in Denton were nice but unresponsive. Thanks, Stephen!

That must have been an allocated car that met fit your order, I would think? If not, it gives us hope!

Apparently if you order an EX or probably the LX you can get them pretty quick. The higher end SX and SX nightfalls take a lot longer. Think that’s because most people who order want SX and the way the factory allocates supposedly takes longer? Not sure of the rationale?

There may be some truth to this. I ordered an EX and got it in 6 1/2 weeks. Btw, purchased mine at MSRP through Huffines in Corinth, Tx. Jeremy Rosado was my salesman. Straight forward, easy to communicate with, and very responsive to questions. No surprises. The only catch is you must live within a 100 miles of the dealership. Due to the demand. Corinth is between Denton & Dallas.
