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.

Did they tell you approximately when Kia would pick it up?
Our estimate was 8-10 months. Unknown when it will get picked up by Kia.
 
Price KIA in Virginia...anyone have experience here ? Seem above board , but not getting many deliveries. Wondering whether to order here at MSRP or find higher volume dealer ?
 
Does anyone have any other contact at Fowler Kia? Not getting a response from Dominic

Did he end up responding? He was out sick the week before last so I got my update early last week when he was back. I think he usually sends updates on Thursdays though.

For all others looking to place orders for MSRP, I would definitely recommend Gossett Kia South (Mt. Moriah location). I would like to share the salesperson as well who helped me with my order.

Name: Bryson
Mobile: 901-480-9863.

Couple of occasions where he went above and beyond

1) Kia added few extras (800$) worth of accessories and price increase after 01/01 to the msrp. He fought will his manager to remove them from the selling price.
2) He mentioned that he ordered the vehicle from the dealerships existing allocation and hence I received in 10 weeks which he says he can do for new orders.
3) Match interest rate with my credit union 1.75%.

He goes above and beyond and doesn’t hesitate to ask for exceptions with his management. Please reach out to him for placing your orders. This is our 2nd Telluride and are very happy with our experience.

Edit: Forgot to add that he is also shipping the docs through fedex as we couldn’t go to Memphis because of personal issues. As a norm, they want customers to sign documents in person.
 
After reading some of the most recent posts about customers that were lucky to get a KIA at MSRP, I began calling places around NYC, Upstate NY, I25 and NJ.

NYC- AVOID IT!!!! Don't even try.

NJ - Nutley Auto Kia is honoring MSRP but they want you to buy 3 accessories and then the wait game begins. $500 deposit but its refundable. DOC fee $399, NJ taxes 6.625. You will then have to pay to ship it your state or buy a one way ticket and road trip back. Estimate wait time 4-6 months. depends on where you land on the list and how fast they get it.

Colorado - I25 (Fowler KIA of Longmont) Is honoring MSRP price with a $500 deposit that its refundable and Doc fee $399. You will then have to pay to ship it your state or buy a one way ticket and road trip back. Estimate wait time 7-9 months. depends on where you land on the list and how fast they get it.

Upstate NY - Kia of East Syracuse honoring MSRP price with a $1000 deposit that its NOT refundable and Doc fee $175. Estimate wait time 5-7 months. depends on where you land on the list and how fast they get it. Speak to Pat Conor. he's a good sales men he will tell you everything you will pay for upfront and not change it.
just called nutley and they only sell to locals at Msrp

Did you look at Stamford? I thought I saw somewhere on here that they were not bad?

I'm also in NYC and planning to embark on this soon...
 
I have been looking at a couple different models both Kia's, but the Texas dealers are just being greedy
So far here is the dealers and the markups

Kia of Round Rock, TX - 10k over msrp for a Sorento and 12k over MSRP
KIa of South Austin, TX - 10k over msrp for a Sorento and 12k over MSRP
Kia of North Austin, TX - 10k over msrp for a Sorento and 12k over MSRP
World Car Kia North, TX - 4,995.00 over MSRP

If you know of a dealer in Texas give a shout... btw since the 2023 are coming out in Summer time, would it be better to wait ? I haven't seen any solid news about updates ect.. TY

Update: The Kia dealer in Waco, TX had 2 Telluride's and both sold before I could jump on them, they are marking up about 2k over MSRP saying it for rust and some other stuff, they have 2 or 3 other colors coming in so if your looking... I think I might be back on the hunt for a Sorento SX x-line in white.

Update the Fort Bend, TX dealer will order at MSRP to people that are in the great Houston area.. GL the search continue
Got our 22 SXP Wolf Gray Nightfall yesterday from Mortiz Kia Ft. Worth. $898 over MSRP. Good dealer experience.
 
Bought ours from Alyson Monday. $898 prep fee.
I tried calling your guy, but only got the VM and I left my info but no call back so might try another sales

I placed my order with Ken at Lev Kia a couple of days ago. I was told around 9 months, which I am willing to wait but hoping it is sooner. The only other place I could find at MSRP was Bald Hill Kia in RI but that is a little too far away from Boston, plus they told be "at least 6 months" for my order.

@cs97jb what trim did you order? I think SX has the longest wait. Other trims may be quicker. Did Ken mention how many orders they have?
 
Just received my SXP Nightfall black. Paid 2K over MSRP. If you are looking for one I recommend Bergey's Kia of Wilkes-Barre, PA. Reach out to them and ask for internet sales manager Rick Tokar. Highly recommend him. Very professional and keeps you up to date on smallest details. They have few Tellurides coming in which are not yet sold. Here is the email address for your reference. rtokar@bergeysofwilkesbarre.com
 
Fort Bend Kia--- Rosenberg, TX

We got tired of the Florida dealers adding adjustments and fees to the MSRP and not wanting to negotiate. We found this forum and found Kia of Muncie and got our Costco pricing $1000 under MSRP. We bought one in 2019. Just ordered another one 12/17/21 Reach out to Lucas.
Hello there! This is my first post in this forum. I decided to ask you since I too am in Florida (Miami) and interested in a new Telluride. I wanted to understand the ordering process, how long it's taking and what a good deal is these days up huge markups and then, I found your post. Can you please provide more details on this? I am not a Costco member or familiar with this benefit you mention, but certainly willing to pay the membership if I end up saving thousands of dollars. Can you please provide more details? Reach out to Lucas where? You can PM me as well if you prefer. Thanks!
 
Ordered mine on my birthday 2/8 from Hiliary and Javier at Fowler/i25 Kia in Longmont, CO. Simple process and they do everything there and all docs and financing before we even fly in to pick up the Telluride.

Ordered an AWD SX in Black Ebony with Butterscotch seats. We test drove a Black Copper SX with butterscotch interior at a local San Diego dealership who had 21 (!!) Tellurides in stock and the interior
SOLD me.
