  • 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...

Hi. Thanks to all for the great info on purchasing a new Telly. Looking to purchase a white, sx, prestige within the next few months. No rush to purchase as we own all our cars and the car we are replacing is 13 years old (225k miles) and still going strong! Willing to pay MSRP but no dealer surcharge. Local dealer (Gerald Kia of Naperville) wants $5k premium on SX.

I have a list of potential dealers with driving distance of Chicago... or I would consider a flight and a road trip!
 
Definitely check out Finnin Kia in Dubuque. They are selling at MSRP and a doc fee of less than $100. No dealer add-ons required. They get a good amount of Tellurides allocated to their dealership every month and when we ordered, there wasn't a waitlist. So I'd guess your order should get put in KFOS right away. They have been really great to work with - so great that I am ordering from them even though I live 3 hrs away. Reach out to Keri and she will be able to answer any questions you might have.
 
Muncie Kia is offering Costco pricing if you’re in no hurry. It’s 1200 off on SX. Dealer in Cincinnati (Superior) was offering $1000 off on orders. Quite a few MSRP dealers near you. Luther Kia in MN wouldn’t be that bad of a drive and one of their sales guys is on here a bit too

Good luck!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us! What might the Telluride be replacing for you?

The new Telluride will be replacing a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L. Probably one of the most reliable cars we have ever owned. Purchased the van new and maintained well over the years. Other than the normal beating done by a family of 6, it is in great shape. It just won't die or have any major mechanical issues that would justify dumping it. Just time for an upgrade/change... going to sell the Odyssey once we get delivery.
 
I live in CO and bought from KS. I was planning to fly there with my wife, but then found out that it would be cheaper to have the dealer transport it to me @ 75 cents/mile. Good luck
