Order to delivery time

[CGeorge]

If you order the vehicle with certain trims and add on’s you want but don’t get it are you required to still buy it?

 

[Lucas & Craig]

Not abnormal. I ordered May 4, estimated delivery November 10.

Keep in mind KIA stopped production on SX-P this summer. Those that had orders before that got put in a holding pattern.

If it does not show up the way you ordered it I would say No. At least with us that would be the case. I am sure some dealers are trying to strong arm customers into taking what they have.

Ohh, WOW I hope that’s not the case when in order. Then have to wait months to get it and it’s wrong. I might go off the deep end lol.

Haha. Just order from Kia of Muncie. And only order mats if you want them... tow package IF you need it. Everything else can be installed/negotiated at dealer or installed aftermarket for much less. I just ordered SXP with Tow and Carpeted mats and it came relatively quickly at just under 4 mos. Some options such as skid plates, lighting kits, illuminated side sills have just delayed orders for some.

The SX P comes with the rear bumper applique as far as I know. Mine has the aluminum guard on there. I could be wrong about this option. But even if I am, that, the Cargo Cover, Cargo Tray and even wheel locks can be ordered from dealer parts department for less than factory price for sure. The more options, the harder it is for a dealer to receive a "match" come allocation time. But, those are simple options, so check with your dealer for some additional advice.

I just today ordered Everlasting Silver SX-P with Towing, and these:
AWD
Wheel locks
Cargo seatback Up mat
Rear Bumper Applique
Cross Bar
Illuminated scuff plates
Interior light kit multicolor

I am in DFW area. I wonder how long it will take. Salesman said probably 2-4 months. But I am thinking who knows, maybe longer since I did all the options???

I would start asking your dealer about your order in about 3 months if you haven't heard anything. Average delivery times for SX-P have been around 4 months... but 5+ in some cases. You really maxed it out!

Just got an update from my sales rep that my black/black SXP will be coming in on 10/10! Ordered 7/25.

 

[thoughtpet]

Just picked up my SX in everlasting silver with tow, all weather mats and cross bars today! Ordered on 8-15-19 and picked it up 10-02-19. Way quicker than I expected, only had to wait a month and a half. Maybe because I ordered a less popular color?

As expected, the 0% for 72 months they offered me for financing ended "September 5th". I never really expected to get that but was hopeful. I did get 0.9% for 48 months, so higher payments yes but id rather not pay a lot of interest.

Kia of Napleton was very easy and good to deal with. No pushing of dealer add ons or anything like that. They kept me updated on my order, either after I emailed them or they did reach out on their own twice. Now of course they tried low balling me on the trade in and pushing me towards the higher interest loans but I feel that is pretty normal. Overall I was very happy with my experience there.

Was your prestige or not? this is basically my order (I placed today, but I have prestige...). I am hoping for quick turn around! I am new to the Telluride craze and I don't know what colors/options are making things take longer or not. Trying to read up on that now! LOL

From what I can tell from this forum, the SX trim has been the most popular trim which I guess was a surprise to KIA so they were slow to ramp up production of those to meet demand. Then in May, I believe, production of vehicles with Prestige package had to be halted due to a shortage of the Nappa leather and possibly other components of that package. Then you can find a thread on this forum (production by color/trim) which shows the most highly produced exterior and interior colors by trim level and option level and you can see that some color combinations are just produced in few numbers. And then what is holding up people from getting their orders fulfilled is adding lots of options to the build like you did.

What is important to understand is that KIA does not receive a placed order and then produce the vehicle in the order they received it. Instead, the plant in GA produces whatever vehicle it wants with whatever options it wants on it and then they match it up with dealerships' confirmed orders and ship the vehicles there. And the number of vehicles each dealer receives in a given period of time also depends on that dealership's past sales numbers. Smaller dealerships receive less vehicles so the chances it gets one the one you ordered goes down. But at the same time, a larger dealership may have placed a lot of similar orders in front of yours and those customers will, I assume, have first right of refusal when the vehicle arrives if the dealership is playing by the rules. Some do not as I've seen and will offer ordered vehicles to new customers if they are willing to pay a markup. This is not the norm but it has happened to some on this forum.

Lastly, if you add a lot of small options, chances are fewer that KIA just so happened to make that exact vehicle. So it may be best to just order the basics that you must have (Trim level, exterior and interior colors, and tow package if you want one) and negotiate having your dealer install the other options once they receive the base vehicle. Again, this is all from what I've gathered reading on this forum so I may not have all my facts straight. Hope this helps but have fun reading through all of the forum. It's very informative stuff for sure. Welcome to the forum.

It was not a prestige package. And thankfully it wasn't because it seems like the prestige package orders are the ones taking 3-4 months. I got mine in a month and a half which was awesome. Also for me, the Prestige package was just purely cosmetic stuff so wasn't worth the extra $$. But they are very nice for sure. Good luck on your order, it is a great vehicle.

I’ll have to make sure my add-ons are minimal and or talk to the dealer about what they can add for a discount. I signed up with Costco so they are offering reduced discount on add ons of 50%

How things change very quickly. Just got an ETA of 10/6. Super excited.

Ordered 7/25, ETA is 10/10 now. Silver/black SXP AWD.

My SX Prestige was 2 months from order until delivery..not the norm, and unexpected. I ordered no options with it, so maybe that's the difference?

 

[mynameisjenny]

Got my VIN today

To recap: Ordered a SXP AWD, Black Copper, Dune Brown,Tow on July 30th. Initial delivery estimate was Sept. 30th then it got moved to Oct. 6th, now could be Oct. 1st.

What was the VIN to delivery time?

 

[dcurtis824]

Just got word that our Telly is in! Picking it up tomorrow - delivery was 11 weeks from the day we placed our order. SWP SX (non-prestige) with black leather and tow hitch (not self-leveling.) I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!

That's highly possible. I ordered mine only with interior light and illuminated scuff plate. I hope mine arrives soon as well.
