So sad, but Looking at Palisade Limiteds now... 3.7% off MSRP Can I get anywhere near this deal on a Telluride?

[MarcinTexas]

What's the best I can do in the next week or two on a Telluride SX? This is the link to the Palisade

https://www.antwerpencatonsvillehyundai.com/auto/new-2020-hyundai-palisade-limited-near-catonsville-md/46675490/

So a dealership is discounting inventory of the previous model year...huge shock. The Telluride has back orders on the new model year. You can't compare the pricing between the two in terms of dealerships willing to sell below MSRP. If you want a Telluride - either get on a waiting list at your preferred dealership or scan failcat to find one that is in the trim you want and call to see if it is sold.

I like everything about the Palisade EXCEPT the front end. I just can’t warm up to that unconventional look.

If they change that front end I might be interested. Dealers around my area have plenty of them on their lots. I believe I’m not alone in the hate the front end club.

I agree, I don't like the front end either. The interior is nice but i love the T-ride looks.

If I could find a white limited awd within 300 miles of me at MSRP I’d jump ship on the Telluride today.

Good luck!
California has them at $10,000 over sticker.
The Palisade is nice, but more for the soccer mom crowd. Wait for the Telluride.

A random internet price is not an official quote. And that is for the Palisade anyway. Why is this useful information?

My truecar quote was not a random internet quote. If you can now get a 2020 Palisade Limited out the door for $48,500 (If you don't believe me check out the Palisade forums,) and a Telluride Sx-p is $55,000 and up out the door that changes things. I am not crazy about getting a used one with a substantial discount. Concerning the one that was recently offered at $50,800 before TTL, that's more than I want to pay. Also, it wasn't available until 10/4. I hope that helps clear things up. Thanks!

You’ve been a member of the forum for over a year, and now all of a sudden you are in a hurry to get your TRide?

I am in Maryland for the summer taking care of my mom, and my old Sienna van is having issues, might just need motor mounts, but heavy vibrations on highway and I need to drive back to Miami in two weeks with kid, dog, and wife! In Miami, the dealers have been very dishonest. I thought waiting would help me get a better price. Boy was I wrong!

 

[miamibeachsteve]

Clicked on the Link you posted. Doesn't show any discount. and at the bottom on the page it says " Dealer Processing fee $499.00 "Not required by law ", emissions testing charges, freight charge $940-$1095, any dealer installed options, or other fees required by law, vehicle sellers or lending organizations.See dealer for details. "

Attached is a bill of sale for a Palisade Limited (not mine, a friends). Yes, I understand this is a Telluride forum. And I am not here to criticize the Telluride since I like it better than the Palisade, but in many ways it is a very similar vehicle! I think users might think it's something to consider.

I prefer the looks of the Telluride, but we've started to consider the Palisade because deals are to be had on them. We test drove one on Friday and I gotta say, it was really comfortable. We still haven't been able to drive a Telluride. I'm at the point that I know I'll be happy with either one (whereas before I thought it was a Telluride or nothing).

Being on this and the Palisade forum has been excellent for us because it's really how we figured out that we'd likely love either one. Still need to get into an actual Telluride though.

I have driven them both and they ride very similar, visibility is better in the Telluride and I think it looks better. I happened upon them both parked right next to each other!

That looks like a good price for a Palisade Limited - is that an FWD model? Or AWD? One selling point for Palisade is that you can get top trim in a FWD. If you can find a 2020 Limited for a price you're happy with, then I'd go for that. Apparently, they made some changes to 2021 Limited. I don't follow the Palisade as closely, but you'll be served well with it. Are you looking for a Telluride SX FWD to keep cost down?

That's an AWD Palisade. 2021 Palisade they downgraded the headliner and door cards and bumped up the price. Despite living in South Florida, AWD would be nice for the slippery boat ramp I use! To keep the price down, I was hoping to find a SX awd (I can put on the hitch myself from etrailer) in the mid 40s so I would be out the door under 50k.

It will most likely be a long wait for both discounted pricing and increased Tellluride inventory. The Covid crisis has produced the perfect storm for all stakeholders: supply chain, manufacturer, dealer, and ultimately the buyer.

Entering into the pandemic, the Telluride was already in extreme demand with a staggering backlog. Factor in pandemic parts and assembly delays, and now things get even more uncertain, especially for selling dealers. Many dealers are renegotiating agreements with their financial institutions in order to remain solvent . (similar to most any business today) Dealer P&L models are based on historical data for unit sales + drag on service / accessories etc.. Financial institutions will gauge risk based on the submitted business plans. In this environment, business plans have become somewhat irrelevant. Way too much uncertainty for many institutions to continue taking on new risk.

As of end of June, the Telluride had 15 Market Days Supply. (MDS) With Inventory Tight, It’s a Market of Haves Versus Have-Nots - Cox Automotive Inc. The numbers are't available yet for July. It's rumored the Telluride is now at 8 days MDS. These are unimaginable numbers to dealers betting their business (and financial commitments) on the profit that popular models could command. These are truly hard to find vehicles with a premium if you'd like one in your driveway ASAP.

Enjoy the ride!

Pardon me, @White SX . What is your source regarding "many dealers are renegotiating agreements with their financial institutions in order to remain solvent?" I don't believe you are talking about Franchise Dealerships.

I haven't seen a Telluride up close yet. I've seen a few Palisade in the wild and a few Tellurides on the highway, but I haven't gotten close to one. I'd love to see them side by side in person.
I've heard that the Telluride handles a bit sportier than the Palisade, did you find that to be true?

I would absolutely buy a Palisade, but I have been reading over there the issues with the smelly seats and that has kinda scared me away. Love both vehicles though.

Even on the leather in Limited trim? I would expect that from the vinyl... and then dissipate.

Apparently it's mainly on Limited beige trims.

Wow, that's not good.

BTW, I would contact @Mweiland too for an Everlasting Silver SXP. They've had a few come in with no wait. You may be in Texas, but it can be shipped from MN for minimal cost relative to local markups. Good thing is that they don't have a markup. Huffines was good, but I believe that they are now offering their available SXPs to waiting (order) customers first - and they have a long list.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with Stephen. Gave me some good info and things to think about. Thanks for that tip, I just might look into that.

Thanks for the reply @mrmac. Yes I have close family in this business. Lots of areas under scrutiny from an operational cost savings perspective: building / property leases, carrying cost & floor planning, to furloughs / layoffs. Every opportunity to maximize margin is on the table for them.

I've been a Forum member for roughly the same amount of time as you. I have the utmost respect for the viewpoints and contributions of this community. Many of your responses appear to be a bit on the negative side if the OP doesn't appear to align to your viewpoints. A little kindness goes a long way.

Enjoy the ride.

A good indicator is Kia monthly sales, which they publicly report...

Sales - By Month

Kia Motors Media Journalist Information News

www.kiamedia.com

They were strong at the beginning of the year, and then cratered when COVID hit. Through May they are down 13% year over year.

That of course has an impact on dealership’s finances. They have to pay for really expensive inventory they aren’t selling, keep sales folks on staff or cut them, probably have declines in their service/parts moneymakers, etc.
