Good Dealer Dealings - List Your Good Dealer Experience

I had great experience at Fort Bend KIA, in Rosenberg Texas. Chance Burton is my Sales Associate. Reading other comments, Tellurides are very scarce in my area. Most all dealerships here are getting over sticker. This dealership is selling at sticker, but seems to normally not have any that come in that aren't sold - pre ordered. I got lucky as mine was ordered, but the lady who ordered it had a wreck in her husbands truck the week before and decided the Telluride was too big for her. Perfect timing on my end. When I picked it up, Chance took 1 hour to walk me through every button and function in it. Crazy all the technology. Very pleased with this dealership
 
I have bought 4 Kia's from Kia of Lansdale in Lansdale, PA. It is now Bergey's Kia as Bergeys is a big name dealer in this area and bought out the franchise. I bought my Telly a couple of weeks ago at Bergeys and it was a good experience as it had been when it was still just Kia of Lansdale. They did not charge me anything above MSRP for my EX Premium nightfall and they got me a better interest rate than Kia was giving (2.6% vs. 2.9% with Kia). The only problem is that since this was always a smaller dealership, they have NO Telluride inventory. I got lucky with mine as I was going to look at a 21 Sorento and this was on the lot from a deal that fell through. Still, it was nice that they weren't being slimy about the Telluride "market adjustment."
 
Muncie Kia (IN) and Ray Skillman Kia (2 locations in IN) are selling at MSRP. I told the gm that I had a terrible experience at another dealership before coming to them. He said “oh you must’ve come from Napelton Kia” (true!). He said maybe he’s the dumb one for NOT marking up but he feels that it’s bad for retaining customers. 😊 I left Napelton knowing exactly what colors and options I wanted to order. I was in and out of Ray Skillman (Shadeland location) within 20 minutes and just received confirmation of 2/9 estimated delivery date (8 weeks after ordering) for my SX-P AWD for MSRP. 😎🙌🏼 Christian was a great sales guy and text me with updates often... even if it’s just “hey still waiting on a delivery date”. He talked to me on the phone prior to me making an appt with him. It was a super easy sale. I highly recommend.

call Christian at Ray Skillman Shadeland (260) 704-5860
Unless something has changed in the last 3 weeks Muncie sells below MSRP. Placed an order early Dec after reading numerous comments on here. $500 refundable deposit for an SX AWD P/N/T $1,200 below MSRP.

Just want to add another data point...Went to Quirk Kia in Manchester NH. They said they are not taking orders for Tellurides, but had exactly what we are looking for (several actually) coming in within the next couple of months and they are selling at MSRP, no games, no bullshit. Let us take a test drive in an SX they had on the lot and said they will send us the window sticker of the vehicle we want as soon as they get it. They will reserve it for us with a 1000.00 refundable deposit. 399.00 Doc fee which I think is very reasonable. Very Happy.
 
Just placed my order to get my Telluride!! I’m so excited. They said 2-4 months, but I’m thinking more like 6. Can’t wait!

got on the list for a telly about september 1st
You just ordered today and they told you September 1st? May I ask what trim package you ordered? I ordered one today, SX with Prestige package, nightfall edition, and tow package. They told me 2-4 months. I’m thinking more like 6.

2-4 may be correct. I ordered mine dec 12 and got an eta of 2/19, 16 days later. They originally quoted me 6-8 weeks. Apparently it has to do with dealer volume and allocation

Good to know! I will hope and pray it’s the 2-4 months.
 
Just brought home my EX AWD all the way from Ohio to Texas! Special thanks to Tyler Hamm at Spitzer Kia in Mansfield Ohio. Very easy process even though I was 1,000 miles away. Everything is straight forward, no hidden fees. Paid $2,400 under MSRP (including $500 Kia rebate).
Was going to order from a Kia dealer in Texas for MSRP and was told to wait 4 to 8 months. Very lucky to find one at Spitzer.

WOW, $2400 under MSRP?? I thought I did well ordering from Muncie and getting an SX for about $1100 under, plus a $400 discount for being a veteran. What was the $500 rebate for? Thanks for shedding some light on this for me.
 
I had a great experience with Gervais Kia in Lowell Ma. We were fortunate that the exact Telly we were looking for (Sangria, NFSX) was on their lot, and we were able to put a deposit down right there and then. It also had towing and cargo rails which are things I think we would have wanted regardless. We paid MSRP (no negotiating on either side), and they threw in weather mats as the deal was so smooth and easy on both sides. We would highly recommend them. Ask for Mike.
 
Got my Wolf Gray SXP NF w tow delivered to Socal from MI last night! Just wanted to report a very positive experience purchasing at MSRP from Travis of Seelye Kia in Battlecreek MI. He was easy to communicate with, patient, honest, and made a first time out of state buying experience super easy. Give him a call 269 441 8800.

They were certainly on my list of dealers. I spoke with the Sales Manager there a couple times and definitely would have bought from them. Congratulations!

That was a $500 rebate for financing with Kia. So it will be more like $1,900 under MSRP if you exclude that rebate.

That was the last Telluride they had on the lot and they probably wanted to get rid of it before year end.
 
I sent them my information about september 1st and was placed on a list with about 20 something people ahead of me for a sxp delivery. The car will be there at hilltop for pick up mid february. So the wait was almost 6 months from the moment I was put on the list, until actual delivery
 
Just put an order in for SX Nightfall in Gravity Gray in Fargo, ND. At MSRP and no down payment! 10 month wait roughly but I'm ok with that. Very easy to deal with!

10 months. Yikes. I ordered on Monday a White SX P/NF/T. They told me 2-4 months. As long as you’re ok with 10 months , that’s all that matters. I just hope I don’t have to wait that long. I need a new vehicle. I currently drive a 2006 Ford Five Hundred that is falling apart.
