Order to delivery time

Some of the dealers in my area for asking for $1,000 non-refundable deposit I found a dealer that allowed a $500 refundable deposit which was much better

Did they say it would got towards the vehicle price or was it the cost just to place an order?
 
What is KFOS? Like most of us, I'd love to know if at this point it will be a 2021 or not. Allocation amounts, to my understand, vary from dealer to dealer as well as the #orders that were requested to be built. I know about a month ago I was #20, and the dealer got 6 in just a week moving me to #14. This could have been a larger than usual amount in just a week. There is a lot of speculation on the forums that may or may not become reality.

KFOS is the system KIA uses for dealers to input orders. Typically opens up in the 15-17th date range. This month that was moved to the week of the 20th.

Allocations are released monthly...not weekly. If they got 6 in a month - then you are 2+ months from getting an assigned build. Then 45-60 days after that for delivery. So yes - you will be getting a 2021.

Thank you for the clarification and explanation.

Same here. I ordered mine Nov 28th and told 6-8 weeks. Last time I spoke to the Rep, he literally laughed when I asked if there was any update and said that I "might" get it in July and that he has people waiting who placed orders LAST July that are still waiting. Unbelieveable. On Tuesday I called 12 dealers outside my area here in Nor Cal and the lowest mark up was $2995 and the highest was $8995. No thanks, paying sticker is bad enough.

Tonight when I called on one just like the one I ordered that was listed on their website, they told me mine was to be delivered 8-5-2020. We will see.......

I ordered a Black Copper SX-P with Tow pkg Jan 30 2020. Before factory shutdown, ETA was April or early May. Today I was told it was June but now July. There is no other vehicle option for me. We looked at the Palisade but did not like the push button shift and no power folding mirrors. I also didn't care for the 3rd row power folding seats. We are in not in a rush for a second vehicle due to the pandemic so we will continue to wait for the Telluride. With the months keep moving out on the 2020 I ordered, I may have a decision to make on a 2021. Now July wow!
 
Mine was May 1st after the shutdown I have no clue. They said they’re trying to track the order! As for the 2021 I don’t think that’s a good option. You’ll wait more time, probably another 5 months at least and it’s gonna be almost the same car.

The dealer won't give you a VIN number until they actually post it for them and then you normally have to ask. You however can watch the VIN site and put in your dealer number and it will show all the vehicles being built going to that dealer, normally you can figure out if it is your vehicle buy looking at type, options and colors...
