Looking for an SX

Lee Johnson Kia in Kirkland, Washington never sells over MSRP. I had the best dealings with them. Got my car in 75 days. For that mark up you could fly 1st class here, stay in a nice hotel, then drive your super comfortable Telluride home making it into a vacation!

I offered them $3500 over asking and they turned me down. He even was upset and said his manager will take no less then $5000 over asking.

Biggest downside to Kia Telluride ownership is being associated with THE CLOWNS paying these prices.

I live in NYC and was having the same problem of $4-$5k over MSRP. I finally found a dealer 2 hours out of the city that sells at MRSP. Don't pay over, you can find dealers that are legit and not looking to screw you over. There are also dealers on these site that helped me find incoming inventory which was super helpful.
 
Dear Jim,
Don’t be a clown and pay ANY market adjustment. Surf this forum and find the dealerships selling at or below MSRP. If you want I’ll find you a Telluride and you just pay me $3000 finders fee. See I saved you $500.....🤪

Get E Price Lol 😂
Honestly I asked for the best reasonable price and they came back with $60,000 out the door! I told the guy to call me when they are serious then it went to $55,000 plus fees which is $60,000! LOL
 
You posted the same thing in three threads. Please don't - it's not necessary. Admins, please delete a couple of his threads.

We don't know which one to respond to.

Can help you find a vehicle...
 
On the other hand, if you disregard the KIA MSRP... $63k for the top dog Tellmeride is still kind of in line with something comparable out there right now.

Yea, if you have an extra 15K burning a hole in your pocket, I'm sure there are Kia dealers out there that will gladly take it from you. If you have a brain, you'll do what many others have done and find a dealer that will sell for MSRP, even if you have to pay a bit in shipping costs.
 
Tellmeride,
Your logic and others on here is impossible to understand. I would guess you have paid a crazy “market adjustment” for your Telluride. Then you try to campaign the poor decision on this forum. There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO OVER PAY for these new Tellurides. Too many options available on this forum to buy at or below MSRP. Sure demand may dictate a several month wait, but folks paying 5k-10k (or any for that matter) market adjustment is baffling to me.

If you are ready to buy a Telluride for $63K, let me know right here and I will find you one. The difference in what I pay for it and the $63K you pay me, we will consider my play money. I’ll chronicle, in pictures, all the fun things I do with that extra cash right here for all to enjoy.
 
If anyone pays 63K for a Telluride, please don't admit it.

See this new post. This is how to find a Telluride now.

Boatman you are WRONG, and please don't ever assume and then make accusations based on your assumptions. I got mine under MSRP when the fire has not started yet.

I am not trying to say it is a good idea to pay $10k over, I never said that. You are assuming again.

All I am suggesting is not counting the KIA MSRP, that at $60k the Tellmeride is still a solid choice compared to what's out there. For the dealers to ask this kind of crazy markup, it is because there are people paying this kind of crazy prices.

And then you got people here who wants to pay under MSRP and wants their ride today. The supply dictates everything, we can only hope for the best.

Hello All fellow Telluride owners. this is my first post and I felt it should be about the topic of price.
I purchased a moss green SX last week with the following add on's

SX Dune Brown Leather Seats
Towing Package
- Tow Hitch
- Self-Leveling Rear Suspension
Cross Bars
Carpeted Floor Mats
Wheel Locks

I paid roughly $10 market adjustment. But the way we (the dealer and I) worked it out was that I traded in my 2009 Tahoe for $10k and financed the MSRP. I don't feel I was taken advantage of, nor do I have super funds just laying around. I definitely did my research on many vehicles in this range and class. I also understand the limited supply on this trim. That being said I understand that other scenarios and deals can be better to many, but I got the car I want. I in my heart of hearts feel that this vehicle is "a keeper" and will return value and content as I own it. If my payments would have been bases on more than the MSRP, then I would be having a different conversation with you all. But we have the hottest SUV out! Why are we talking as if that has no weight or bearing on supply and demand or value? Anyway, I know speaking on a forum opens me up to ridicule and persecution, but I got (so far) the best car I've ever had.

Have a good day all.
