Question, if I ordered 11/15 would they need to transfer that order to the KFOS system or is that done automatically?

It's not done automatically. As your dealer gets allocations in KFOS every month (around 15-17th), they will work through their queue of orders, with yours being put in whenever they clear all the orders ahead of yours. Could be done already, or could be a few more months. All depends on the quantity of Tellurides they receive every month.

The post by @NREVANS above is good info. You both ordered from Muncie. NREVANS is still waiting on his September 14 order. Being November, yours is likely closer to being filled in May or June - possibly longer. The issue with Muncie is that they have a lot of SX-P orders, but they don't get a ton of monthly allocations.

That being said, February was their highest month yet for SX-P VINs - so that's great news. They will take care of you, its just going to take a while. Have patience. I had an order delivered in 5 months - and that was a May order! I'd follow up with Muncie around April or May to find out your place in if you're willing to wait.

Bad news is that they only got 1 KFOS allocation for the coming month for an SX AWD. As second in line, I'm a little annoyed but life goes on.

Ugh. That's likely pushing your wait beyond 6 months until at least early April or into May. That's crazy. Then who knows with November orders... I guess that's what happens when Muncie offers the best price in the country! Order and wait.

I put together a website that scrapes all of the new VIN numbers daily and lets you search/filter them. I started on January 7th, so cars produced before that won't be on the site. I may try and scrape historical data but for now it's just going forward.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try and add to the site or if you have any issues with it.

I want to especially thank MichelW for his help and inspiration based on his very useful spreadsheet.

Thanks! Is the date posted the date the dealer got the car? I looked mine up and it has a date of 1/30/20, dealer says the car came in on 2/11/20 and that they didn't know it was coming. Just curious really.

See posts 192 and 193 in this same thread. Just scroll up a bit. They are copied below for reference.

Correct that the create date is the date it is scraped.

What I do is contact a dealer as soon as I see a Vin allocated to them and ask if it's been pre-sold. So far they all are but I'm hoping to get lucky.

And I'm not sure how long after the create date it gets to the dealer.

The answer is yes. It has been allocated to that dealership long before production - we're only seeing the VIN on day it was scraped (produced - generally one and the same). So, once you see the VIN popup for your desired trim, I'd give the dealership a call and ask SPECIFICALLY about that VIN armed with info from the window sticker. In only one case we've seen so far (there presumably have been others) the dealership listed on the window sticker has changed from the original dealer to a different dealer (meaning vehicle was reassigned after production). But that appears rare.

I'd speak directly with fleet manager - the salespeople are unlikely to know about specific VINs - and in some cases, callers have surprised managers and salespeople with knowledge of the incoming VIN because it's not on the dealership public website. It should have an ETA once it's produced. Delivery time from Georgia to dealership can vary - to Washington state, I would imagine to allow 3-4 weeks. Dealer should know this info. It is usually around 1-2 weeks to Texas. The VIN creation date matched my production date for my VIN - of course there can be discrepancies for technical or other obvious reasons.

That’s what 90% of us heard. Here we are at 5,6,7,8 months later, still waiting.

You’ve been warned.

I have a November order and 2 weeks ago my sales guy at Muncie said I’m 23 in the order que for an SXP. I’m assuming at least 6 more months if Kia manages to improve their system more if Muncie continues to be allocated 1 or 2 SXP’s per month. At this point I figure it’s 50/50 as to whether or not I get a 2020 or 2021 model at this point.

I do wonder at what point does Kia realize that a place like Muncie did things right. The objective was to sell cars. By providing superior customer service and pricing Muncie was able to obtain more orders than the old Kia allocation system can provide in anything close to a timely manner.

It sucks big time you're that far down the list. Actually what sucks is that there's a list in the first place. I genuinely hope that Kia of America sees what Muncie is doing and start to offload some vehicles on them to clear their order log. You're right, their customer service has been second to none and I hate that they've gotta deal with grumpy customers like us all day!

A lot of Black Copper exterior and Espresso interior units seem to have gotten VINs today.

We've ordered the same vehicle, mine on Nov 25th...Step it up KIA, do the right thing and get these orders for KIA of Muncie filled !

Seems Tuesday's are the max VIN day of the week for Black Copper. KIA can you dump some Pearl White days for more Black Copper?

Curious, how do you know they only have 1 KFOS allocation for the coming month? I'm assuming you're saying that's for March?

Correct, for March. I was in contact with them directly, trying to figure out a status of my order.

Someone will be bumped up because I had to pull out unfortunately. After going to the Auto Show, my wife had enough waiting. Feel bad because the crew at Muncie seems awesome and I looked forward to meeting them.

She was willing to pay MSRP and with some help from a fellow forum member, we manage to find an incoming unit a few hours away. I put down a deposit and it should be in the by March 8th.

I guess I'll get a Sorento from Muncie to replace her car in 2 & a half years!

I am trying to understand this whole process but it is a little tricky!
We ordered our SX on 2/15 from the dealer (who said it would go in as an order officially on the Monday- Feb 17).
The sales person told us they would have a VIN in probably about 4 weeks. Does that mean that they placed our order on kdealer, then it goes into KFOS once they have an allotment for us (i am guessing here- they didn't tell us anything like this). Does the VIN get assigned at the point of acceptance from KIA or from KFOS?

We were told 8-12 weeks until delivery so its not like i am expecting the car any day, i just am trying to understand the process and make sure we are dealing with someone that is explaining the process fairly- even if it is "dumbed down" for us.

thanks for any help!!

No wonder Muncie stopped accepting orders on the SXP trim Tellurides. KIA really needs to address their allocation system.

Just so I understand...you ordered in November and now end of February you are still # 23 on the list?!! That is crazy. I thought it was bad that there were 12 people ahead of my when I ordered from @StephenCantrelle in the DFW area back in January. Right now there are 7 people ahead of me and they seem to be getting 5-6 SXP allocations per month.
