Telluride VIN Lookup Website

Banning fans from pulling this data is a poor move on KIA's part. Honestly - having a fan base help spread the word is a perfect scenario for KIA.
As an recovering IT guy, I totally understand why kia did it.
 

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.

Wow, what a great tool, now I realize my kia hasn't even been made yet. Black Copper AWD SX towing& prestige pkg. Thanks for the great info....
 
What does it mean if I have a VIN from the dealer for a couple of weeks, but it doesn't show up in your database? Thank you for the help!

It may have been missed when scraping. What is the VIN? Last 5 digits are sufficient.

Still not showing in your database. I have checked via all the filters and I am unable to locate. Thank you for any assistance you are able to offer.

See this updated post/thread from the new maintainer of the site. Not all older VINs will be populated into the site.

That VIN should have been made around the middle of May, and does it bring up a window sticker that matches your specs in the Kia API? If so, you're good, and it should be in transit this month. You can ask your dealer for it's transit status.

Thank you very much for you time and patience in answering my questions. I am obviously new to this sight as well as threads like this in general - I appreciate your help. First new car in 20 years so I'm probably more excited than a grown man should be?

No, you can be excited. It's okay. Good vehicle to be excited about.

Replace bracketed phrase with your VIN (no brackets) and your window sticker should pop up.

Hey guys. I’ve been lurking here for a bit. It’s pretty wild how much info there is.

Question for the lookup website when you are searching by dealer.

Is that list every car that has come through the dealership, including vehicles already in the hands of the buyers? Or is it only a list of cars in the process of being allocated/built/delivered.

Just wondering what the list per dealer truly represents.

I’m trying to figure out if the car I put a deposit on is even one of those on the list. I put money down on an allocated one that has since been pushed to 2021

Thanks. Hope that made any sort of sense. Ha

So the VIN lookup site in this thread shows most vehicles produced by the factory, both sold customer orders (by way of deposit) and allocated (unsold) orders. Depending on how old they are will determine their availability.
For example vehicles that show up on the site today have just been produced and will take some time to get to their respective dealers. Transit times vary due to multiple variables. Vehicles on the site from over a month ago are more than likely sitting in someone's driveway right now. Hope that helps
 
Its a long shot but anyone know if butterscotch materials were some of the supplies impacted from the Mexico supply chain issues recently? Doesnt look like theyve been producing many since reopening the factory. Of course thats what we're waiting on, wonder if we'll get pushed to a 2021 now. Its getting too close to call

That's the VIN they gave you? That vehicle would have been delivered a long time ago, and it would already be sold. Current VINs are in the 94000 range. 67000 was probably built around January.
