How was it? Easy transaction??

I found the car through the failcat website. I would constantly look for dealerships around my area (within 100 mile radius) that had incoming SX Tellurides with prestige package. I initially found one that had nightfall, prestige and towing and called the dealership and they told me it was not claimed. So i put down a $500 deposit. Then I saw that the same dealership was getting a similar SX with prestige and nightfall but no towing. I didn't need towing so I asked if could switch my deposit to that car. I was told that one was also not claimed so I was easily switched over. I was told from the beginning that the dealer was going to charge $500 over MSRP. I didn't want to pay over MSRP but I hear other dealerships charging thousands of dollars over MSRP, so I was ok with it. The car was delivered about a week after it was scheduled to be delivered, which initially had me worried. I do want to mention that the dealer did tack on a $695 ADMIN fee to the car. I was able to haggle that down to half ($347). While I was haggling down this admin fee, I was told by the sales manager that incoming SX's were going to be upcharged as much as $3000. They said they were honoring my initial price. I think this was their way of basically telling me that I would have to pay some amount for this ADMIN fee. I was also told they would throw in all-purpose floor mats. When I went to pick up the car, the mats were not available so I was told that they will be ordered and mailed to me. The process at the dealership was otherwise pretty smooth.

Follow up: dealership (general manager) could not provide me ANY proof they ordered my telluride. I am in the process of getting my deposit back (involving a complaint with the BBB) and I’ve placed a new order with Crowley Kia. Good luck at Yonkers, they’re the worst. As soon as I get my money back I’m roasting them on every single review site I can find.

This pictures didn't upload. It's the list (on 2 pages) that ranks 3 row SUV in $35 k - $45k price range. This is where Atlas finished last.

Is this consumer reports? I don't subscribe. The Telluride ranked #1?! When did this come out?

April 2020.
I wondered the same thing. Then I saw the date at the bottom of one of the photos.

Yes, looks like #1. And the palisade is right behind it. I had to show the wife these and she was pretty impressed, but then goes ‘what did the car miss points on’ haha.

I also used Kia of Yonkers. My salesman was Vincent Napolino. I guess I got lucky with that dealership.

Yes, CR. I bought it 2 weeks ago, so current issue. It's also interesting to see how much lower the Palisade scored than the Telluride.

Funny I didn't see the April date, but I bought it 2 weeks ago at Sam's Club! (Thus the discount price). When I get home from work today I will try and take a shot of the full Atlas specifications so she can see what all the negative marks were for.

@StephenCantrelle any update on 5XYP5DHC5MG107180? VIN posted on 8/4 with original delivery date of 9/8. Order was placed on 11/1/19 so I’ve been waiting quite a while...

I ordered on 10/18/19. SXP White with grey interior. AWD, with illuminated scuff plates. VIN: 5XYP5DHC6MG101632 posted on 7/16/20. ETA keeps changing but today it’s 8/24. I feel your pain!! Anyone have any insight to what’s pushing some of these so far out and why ETA keeps getting pushed back? Is it just Covid related? Thx

Man, that is a long wait. You are finally so close! Lately many delivery dates seem to be moving around a week or 2 in either direction. Best guess so far seems to be related to the transportation channels themselves...whether rail or truck. The good news is you have a VIN and you have an estimated delivery date. You will no doubt be driving your new Telluride within the next month!

Thought I would share some photos of the new T-ride I picked up on Friday. It's an EX-FWD-P, Sangria and Gray. I have to say that it was worth the wait (total wait since January, 2020); it's even a better ride than I anticipated. Love it!!

I'm waiting for the same order. Congrats and thanks for the picture
 
Hi @StephenCantrelle, I have tried so incredibly hard to not ask you to look up my VIN and now I'm caving, lol. VIN created on 7/7 and was given a delivery date of 8/8ish. That's obviously come and gone and my salesman doesn't have an update yet. Any intel? VIN 5XYP5DHC6MG098487. Thanks for keeping us all sane!
