• 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...

Clearly feeling late to the game as we just placed an order last weekend for a GWP/Gray, SX, Premium, Tow and Nightfall. Have been lurking for last 12 mths assuming supply would catch up with demand. But then Covid hit and so decided to order. Hoping the Nightfall express will deliver before the holidays but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Purchasing through Huffines in north Dallas for MSRP. Replacing a ‘17 Honda Pilot. Have had 3 pilots prior all with great luck, but couldn’t resist the look and premium feel of the Telly.

Thanks to everyone contributing on this forum. It really helped solidify our choice.

Congrats! What wait time did they quote you? And did you order an SX Prestige or the EX Premium? There isn't an SX Premium.
 
Good catch Marcin. I went with the SX Prestige.

The order paperwork indicates 3-5 months, but the dealer thinks 2-3 months the way nightfall's are dropping from the sky.

Yes - for some reason KIA has been prioritizing Nightfall Prestige orders over existing SX Prestige orders. I imagine your wait time will be on the shorter end of things.

Yeah, I was originally quoted 4-6 months, and my ETA puts me at basically 2 months.
 
You sound like the exact same situation as us. Started looking about 10 months ago, was going to wait out the initial craze blew over, then COVID happened. On the plus side, since we are both working from a home, we were actually able to sell our Tiguan while we wait for the new car (and share one car).

Went with a SX-P in Gravity Gray, dune brown interior, NF and Tow. Order just over a month ago. was quoted about 6 months give or take. We shall see.
