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.

Order to delivery time

As I've looked through all of these Posts, I don't see any "orders" for the way I did it. I live in Las Vegas (Henderson) and went to my KIA Dealership on March 13th to place an order. Instead they showed me a list of the Telluride's that they were already allocated for the next couple months (approx. 15) and let me pick one that was not already spoken for. I got exactly what I wanted and the VIN was created on Friday (3/26) and it has an ETA of April 27th. So my wait time will be 6 weeks. Are other Dealerships not offering this?
 
My dealer looked at their future and didn't see one like I wanted. If I really wanted the exact one I wanted I would have to order it. They estimated 2 to 3 months wait and didn't know what financing offers would be.

I bought the White S AWD they had. It had pretty much exactly what I wanted, except leather. Due to the way the do trim levels I'd have had to pay around $4000 just to get the leather captain's chairs in mid row. I just bought the one they had with SOFINO and embraced the money saving
 
Just noticed on Failcat that no VINs were created for Everlasting Silver or Gravity Gray with Dune Brown since 3/20. Hoping that changes next week.

I'm waiting to see one with Gravity Grey/ Dune myself

Yeah same...I'm waiting on my GG/Dune order and have been bummed not to see any produced in over a week. I was getting nervous that they were having supply problems with Dune leather until I saw that they are making other colors with it (e.g. White).

Hi all, I posted a few weeks ago about the order I placed on 2/28 for an EX-P/AWD/Glacial White Pearl/Black. The dealer (in Norwood, MA) had said my order would take 3 months at the latest. I have been tracking the inventory at my dealer online and saw multiple vehicles matching my order appear. It took several calls to the dealer, but they ended up confirming that one was available and I was able to purchase it. The dealer had said that they checked incoming vehicles for the next month before I placed my order, but I'm not sure that is entirely true. My take home message is to keep an eye on dealer inventory if your order was something they didn't have at the time - it's possible it may come in! I'm now in my new Telly sooner than I would have been and am in love!

Yeah, I think you have to take what your told with a grain of salt. Who know's what kinds of motivations they may have to either lie, or just not look into thinks very deeply when asked some question.

Has the appearance that they preferred to sell the matche(s) to your order at a more profitable rate, instead of an existing order.

Was your order ever picked up in KFOS by the factory?

I don’t believe the order was ever picked up because I hadn’t heard anything from the dealer and the three matching VINs that showed up in Failcat since the time of my order had added accessories. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t reach out to me since I was locked in with my deposit. They just assured me that nothing even close to my order would be coming in anytime soon, so it’s hard to believe that these just “showed up” in their inventory. You definitely have to be your own advocate in this process.

Are you getting it for MSRP? Every Vegas dealer I spoke with was charging thousands over.
 
I placed my order/deposit 3-29 and, what I believe to be my order, showed up on Malfunction Feline (FC) 3-30 .... is that possible that is will get delivered fairly quickly then??? or am i just getting my hopes up... i had very specific accessories which makes me think that it is mine...

update wasn’t mine haha he told me someone else order the exact same config and I forgot.

Ask Stephen to run the VIN & include your Initials.
