Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and I would like to know if anyone of you had a good experience buying Telluride at MSRP in Alabama. I stay in Montgomery AL and I am interested in Everlasting Silver with Nightfall and premium package with Dune brown interior.

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...

Help needed to buy a telluride in Alabama

We are in Alabama, and had a terrible time finding a dealer with MSRP. We went to Tennessee to purchase. Found great dealers to work with in Tullahoma and Memphis.

Interesting. Hey @fuhspoon
I'm in MS & have had ZERO luck in this state. Who/where in Memphis? Gossett Covington Pike or Gossett Mt. Moriah? (maybe its all the same folks?)
No idea where Tullahoma is, but that could work...
If you happen to know/remember any of the key players names/contact info, and are willing to share any details on the process, it sure would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm totally exhausted from this "hunt"! (almost bought a waaay overpriced used Highlander last week, b'c i've been chasing these telly's so long)...thanks in advance!

Gossett Kia but not sure which. We spoke with Jenn.
In Tullahoma we are working with Jason Schmidt. This is at Russell Barnett KIA.

@RebelRide411 I'm also in Mississippi. Have you tried any custom orders in the state?
I placed an order with Wilson Kia here is Jackson but they never asked me for a deposit so I’m wondering what’s going to happen. Are they not selling at msrp? Because if my order comes in and they try to bait and switch I’ll walk

I have an order placed with them as well. They don't require a deposit. They sell at MSRP for custom orders but not off of the lot.

Do you mind sharing when you ordered? They basically just told me to build it online and email it to them. Is that what you did?

Exactly what I did. Originally order March 27th.
Have they gave you any update on yours? We ordered about a month ago and the salesman said 60-90 days

I'd love to know, @Jsm172 ?? I would most DEF. be contacting the Sales Mgr. to find out what your "out the door price" is going to be?? Just so there are no surprises. Don't even factor in the trade or financing (if you can help it). What's your "Out the door, cash on the barrel head price?" (any extras like: "Market Adjustment", "Protection Pkg's", "Add'l Dealer Markups", etc.?)
Wilson seems to get the largest allocations each month of any dealer in MS--so, IF you find they ARE selling @ MSRP, please report back??
The times I've tried w/Wilson, I just couldn't seem to get "the guy" on the phone (usually a GM/Sales Mgr./or Internet Mgr). I like to always speak directly with THE individual. who actually HANDLES the order flow, & enters it into KDealer--simply b'c I've wasted a ton of time talking to countless Sales Reps....who just aren't as informed as we are on this entire process. Not to belittle ANYONE at a particular dealer, they're good ppl., but so many are either brand new to Kia &/or they just don't know their product or systems yet...

Who y'all working with at Wilson? And...have they given you your "order sheet" (letting you know they placed your configuration into the K-Dealer system?). Once you have that, you can just start tracking it on Failcat here: Wilson Kia's Telly's on Failcat
File attached shows every allocation they've had since: March 3rd...maybe you see yours on there? Or, one that looks like yours??

None of those are mine. I’m hoping mine is picked up this month. When I placed the order they tried upselling me on the luxecare package which is a worthless ceramic coating for 3k but I said no and they said ok. I honestly had no idea they were selling over msrp here in Mississippi but it sounds like they are

We ordered from Anniston Kia back in April. They SAID they would sell it to us at MSRP and gave us a price quote. We gave them a deposit, which they cashed. Was supposed to be here this month, so we're crossing our fingers.

They're not good with updates at all. They keep you in the dark and are very vague with answers, but I have confirmed my order with General sales manager and General manager.
