Can’t remember the name, but think it was Mike Something. I may just go a different direction/vehicle or order from Puyallup Kia. Considered going with a Colorado dealer, but with the higher fees and shipping costs they end up being slightly more than Puyallup, but the wait at Puyallup is longer and I also haven’t asked for a full quote from them yet.

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. 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. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

What did you decide? Did you order from Puyallup?
Ended up ordering from Fowler/I25 Kia. Mostly due to the much shorter wait, but also, as others have mentioned, Puyallup does try to insist you go there in person to place your order. I wasn’t about to make a 4 hour round trip drive just to place an order. Though I never asked distinctly whether ordering in person was required (They say it’s to talk to their finance person).
______________________________
Gotcha. It’s only a 2 hour drive for me so I went in to order. Pretty straightforward and fast process but they won’t let you order without signing for a credit check. Although when our sales person saw the monthly income number she said she doubted the finance would even run it. Either way not a big deal to me.
What were the fees, and how much shipping from Colorado to WA it would have been?
Shipping set up by Fowler Kia to SW WA is $1600. Half-ass looked into setting up shipping on my own, and looks like I could save a couple hundred maybe. They charge a ‘dealer fee’, of $600-ish. Haven’t signed any paperwork yet so not sure if they’re going to try and tack anything on.
