Good Dealer Dealings - List Your Good Dealer Experience

I just picked up my SX-P this past Saturday and here is the review that I left for Michael Kia in CT on Google......

Best Experience with buying a new car. I have purchased/leased over 12 vehicles and this was once of the easiest and painless experiences I have ever had. I was looking to purchase a Kia Telluride SX-P which is a very hard to find vehicle. Most of the dealers in the Tri-State area were marking up the vehicles by thousands of $$ over MSRP. I called the dealership and spoke with Leslie the internet sales manger. Leslie was super easy to work with and was extremely prompt in getting back to me with pricing and answered all my questions. Michael Kia was the only dealer I spoke with that was not marking up the vehicle and was completely honest and transparent during the negation process. I negotiated the entire deal over the phone and email. I also spoke with Jacob in sales and he arranged for me to pick up the car few days later. Jacob couldn't have been any nicer and was very easy to deal with. Finally, Jillian, the Business Manger made the paperwork process extremely easy and efficient. Overall a 5 star experience every step of the way. Buying a car can be a time consuming and unpleasant experience but Michael Kia and the entire staff were extremely professional and easy to work with,
 
Looking for a no-BS dealer anywhere remotely close to Portland, OR who has or can order a White/Black SX-P for MSRP or less.
Wouldn't mind getting it shipped from farther away either. Thank you!
Have you found anyone willing to deal? Im in Camas and am looking asa well. Thanks!
 
Kia Ferguson was amazing again.

As long as I'm in this state, I don't plan to buy from anyone else.

I just placed my order with Jason Fox (jfox@kiaofmuncie.com) of Kia of Muncie, IN even though they are 3 states away. I saw his interactions on this Forum which made me give him a shot. I knew what I wanted in the Telluride and my ordering experience thus far has been great. Below MSRP, quick communications, and my questions/concerns were answered knowledgeably by Jason and Lucas. I'm hopeful the rest of the process goes as smoothly as ordering. Thanks guys.

You are very welcome. #TeamMuncie
 
Kia of Muncie is awesome! I’ve yet to post my story but they’re great as everyone on the forum already knows. I dealt mainly with Lucas and he was patient and answered every question I had with really quick answers to my many many emails.... lol. Huge props to him!

I ordered my SX non-P on December 13th, ready to endure the ~4 month wait. Somehow, some way, Kia picked up my order that Monday, two days after I placed the order! I got a VIN, a window sticker, and an ETA for the end of the year, which would understandably slip because of the holidays. Lucas sent me a video on January 9 that they had received the vehicle, and a few days after that it was shipped to me down in Florida. I received it on the 18th.

This was such a smooth process I wish I bought cars more often! Huge shoutout to the guys at Muncie. Such a pleasure working with them throughout this whole process! And a one month wait sure wasn’t bad either!

Right place right time. The KIA God's usually don't act this fast. Congratulations!
 
Anyone have any good experiences in WA? Every dealer I have talked to here is selling above MSRP except 1 dealer will sell at MSRP for a factory order only.
 
I am not sure where to post this but we are traveling and need to get our first service soon in the DelRay Beach, Florida area. Does anyone have any recommendation for a dealer for service in this area? I looked at reviews on line and they don't look great
 
I’m actually looking for a good dealer in the South Florida area myself.

Hi all!! Some of you may have seen my post in the dealership markup thread about my horrible experience with Jack Daniels Kia in Fair Lawn, NJ. They tried to upcharge me 15K for a SX-P Telluride. When I told them another dealership was willing to order it as I wanted at MSRP they told me no one will do that and if someone says they will you should go there but we will not.

So that is exactly what I did! Today I picked up that beautiful Black on Black SX-P Telluride with Tow Package :) and I paid MSRP for it. And the dealership is NUTLEY KIA in Nutley, NJ (Ask for Pete). Not only are they not playing stupid up charging games, but Pete and the whole dealership are also a pleasure to work with. AND all their vehicles, new, used, financed or leased come with One year of service for free (2 oil changes). I can't recommend this dealership enough. They took great care of me.

I also am purchasing a tire and wheel package from Jason Fox at Muncie, Kia, who you all know well on here.

Please DM me with any questions and please let Nutley know that Perry sent you if/when you go!! This was the easiest car buying experience Thank you nutley!!

Thanks, I think we got it now that you've posted about it four times. Gracias. Four posts is really not necessary... I mean you created your own thread too! Thanks for sharing though.

Hello all,

Happy new Kia owner here in Northern Cali. Purchased my Telluride SXP in dark moss/dune brown with tow this past Saturday at msrp with 1k rebate from Jim Bone Kia in Santa rosa and am loving it! Dan Z. and Jefferson D. were awesome, patient, respectful, easy to work with and answered all my questions...best car buying experience I've ever had! I did have to wait 6 months for my order, but was well worth the wait. Dan kept me informed and even offered at times other Tellurides in different colors and options, but I was set on what I ordered. When I buy my next Kia it will be from Jim Bone Santa Rosa!

Good North Carolina dealers anyone?

We just bought a Telluride LX FWD from Fred Anderson Kia in Raleigh - $1k under MSRP including the Kia Finance rebate and no dealer add ons. Gave us a fair deal on our trade too.
 
You did well with Fred Anderson. I tried to work a deal with them and they told me 2-4k over MSRP. I moved on and ordered from Muncie. They have been great, just hope the wait isn't ridiculous.

Maybe because poster got an LX? Most dealers will work deals on LX models just to move them...
