Good Dealer Dealings - List Your Good Dealer Experience

[annieclay]

Had a great experience with Murray Kia of Conshohocken - got a SX Nightfall Prestige AWD for MSRP. They were great to work with the whole time. Our salesperson was Erick, but we also dealt with the manager Mike who was good as well.

While we were there picking up our Telluride we saw 2 full car carriers bringing in more vehicles, so they seem to be moving a good amount of vehicles.

This is where I just ordered mine from so I’m happy to hear this!

Hi Folks, I recently came back home in NJ after a 2 year assignment overseas .. need to have a car in 2 weeks and veering towards Telluride - would highly appreciate any recommended dealers in NJ area .. Thanks in advance !

You’re more likely to have Beyoncé perform a personal concert in your house than get a Telluride in two weeks without a huge markup. As far as recommended dealers in NJ, Nutley Kia… but you’ll be in for a wait.

My 2022 Telluride S arrived today—only took eleven weeks and 5 days! Not that I was counting

I purchased at KIA of Saint Cloud, Minnesota and paid MSRP. There were the usual attempts to upsell for additional services but the push wasn’t too hard. KIA of Saint Cloud doubles the Power Train warranty to 20Y/200K. I was able to get the extended warranty for a little less than Muncie of KIA offered.

I think I was just a couple days behind you with Larry! Now the (Im)patient waiting game starts. What color did you go with?

Highly recommend Berwyn Kia (outside of Chicago, IL)! I ordered through one of the sales managers, Vince Moreno, at MSRP with no dealer add ons. Guillermo Villasana was the sales consultant who took me through the buying process. They were upfront and easy to get ahold of the entire process. I didn't feel pressured to tack on anything additional when placing my order, nor while completing the sales paperwork. Definitely give them a call if you're looking to order at MSRP!

I'm guessing things changed because I just got in contact with Guillermo and he said they charge 10% over MSRP for a market adjustment with a $1,995 adjustment minimum for a build.

Just picked up a moss green SX prestige with fine brown interior that was a canceled order from Huffines in Mckinney, TX. They sold it to me for MSRP and I was able to get the extended warranty, 10 year btb for $1660. Sales manager was John Criste. Great experience. I asked the sales manager at another dealership if he would sell for MSRP and he laughed in my face.

New Jersey folks in the market for a Telluride,

Call or go see Widmar at Sansone Kia in Woodbridge, NJ. I talked to Widmar on the phone in May and told him I wanted a SX-P. Multiple other dealers in the area were charging a $3K+ markup over MSRP. Widmar got me a 2022 SX-P in late June WITH NO MARKUP!!!

Widmar and the entire staff at Sansone made this the easiest vehicle purchase I have ever made. Highly recommended! Don’t let these other dealers hit you with a premium when there are legit dealers out there that are not trying to steal your hard earned money!

I live in the area but I was disappointed with them when I checked out the Tellurides back in 2019. I might have to give them another chance. How much did you end up getting the warranty for? Thanks and congrats on the new Telly.

A few people have said they were able to get MSRP from them. They’re a monster operation with mixed reviews (Nutley is a small, independent dealer), so I wouldn’t have thought of them as being an MSRP dealer for Tellurides.

It’s nice that there’s at least one other option in NJ for MSRP Tellurides.

Durango Kia in CO is selling at MSRP. I talked to James and he’s incredibly helpful. I told him I’d be sending people his way.

Good to know. I've been dealing with Jarrod at Durango kia. Great experience so far. Have you ordered or just bought one from the lot?

Hello nksauer-

I can’t vouch for other sales consultants but Cody made the process pretty much pain free. I did my research in advance and knew what I wanted. No attempts to upsell me.

When I went in to pay for the vehicle, I had to ask the finance guy to remove the rustproofing charges he put on the purchase agreement as I had not requested it. I had 2 options for the warranty—with the $100 deductible-$1485 or without a deductible-$1573. I did have to negotiate the lower rate—the rate started at $2100+. All the good information about the extended warranties on this forum really made that easy! All of this happened a few days before the vehicle was actually delivered to the dealership so the rustproofing had not been done. If it had been done, I would not have paid for it.

Just a heads up on the extended warranty—make sure the information you hear matches up with the information in the actual service contract. The brochure states $100 per event for towing, the service contract says $75. The brochure states $40 per day for alternate transportation/car rental but the service contract says $35. Waiting on clarification from the finance area on the differences.

Once the Telluride arrived at the dealership, Cody drove it to my house—which I appreciated as I wasn’t trading in any of my other cars. Any questions or concerns have been addressed quickly by Cody.

I think you will have a different experience this time around if you reach out to Cody!

Good Luck!

@JBF I also have an order with John @ Huffines McKinney. He told me today there are 59 orders ahead of mine and that it likely won’t get picked up by Kia for 3 months. Hopefully another one comes available like yours did!

Mine is also Dark Moss….I’d love to see yours in person as I’ve never seen Moss in in the wild.

 

[JBF]

I'd be happy to show it to you. I love in Frisco. Going on vacation tomorrow but will be back next Thursday

No rush, I have a few months until mine arrives. I actually have both an Ebony Black and Dark Moss on order from different dealerships as I couldn’t decide on a color combo - seeing a Moss in person may help sway my decision.

We had a great experience buying our 2022 SX from Classic Kia in Waukegan, IL. Ask for Jennifer Pratt!

I’m headed there tomorrow based on another person’s recommendation here on this forum. Any fees outside of tax/title?

The all black looks good, I went with black copper but had a hard time deciding between that and wolf grey. I figured it wouldn’t get picked up in July, but got my fingers crossed for August

Nice guy, who at least returned my call. For any of you who do NOT reside in: Missouri (or the St. Louis metro area)--they're not currently accepting orders at MSRP, fwiw...
