That Escalated Quickly...😁

Hi all! New member here, and just put a deposit down on an In-Transit SX AWD in Wolf Grey Nightfall with Prestige, Towing, Interior Lighting, Bumper Protector and Illuminated Scuff Plates. Date is currently showing as 3/4, but may be sooner! I’m so stoked!

From not knowing about the Telluride, to putting a deposit down in less than one week! Moving from a Jeep Grand Cherokee High Altitude 4x4, blacked out on Black, which I love(d).

This forum was a game-changer, as I was able to research prices, dealers and colors. I’m in the Phoenix, AZ, area, and all of the dealers are marking it up $5-6K+ (some $8-10K!), so I used this forum to find dealers that were selling at or close to MSRP.

I found the vehicle I wanted at i25 Kia in Longmont, CO, but it was under deposit with another buyer. My salesman, Ron Volk, indicated that they might be switching vehicles, and sure enough, they did, and it was mine! DONE!!

I’m very excited, and happy to be a prospective owner!! Looking forward to learning all about the vehicle!!

Hey Walt! Welcome! Just re-read your post! Assume. Sounds like you didn't have much luck in Phoenix either.

Thanks, and nope! Everything is $5-8K over sticker in AZ. Definitely options, though, if you are willing to travel for them.

Yes, I am finding it hard to find a fair price in Phoenix. Are you shipping your new ride to Phoenix? If so what did that cost?

Check the good dealer thread. There is one in Tucson selling at MSRP

From first thought to Telly in my driveway was about two weeks for me. And that included tons of research. Sometimes, you just know what you want and go for it.

Thanks, Royal Kea currently has nothing available in the trim I’m looking for.

Unfortunately dealers that sell at MSRP have low stock because word gets out and people buy them up

Seems to be the standard here in Tucson. I'm on the list to call if anything similar to what I am looking for becomes available, through cancellation or whatever. Assuming this is a long list. They seem to be deep in to reservations, as they wont even put you on a list to order right now. Not sure when that will open back up. The other major player here in town want about 10k over MSRP - so I ran from there. Currently have deposit in with existing inventory due at i25Kia in Colorado. (Thanks to @WaltAZ recommendation) Tentative KT arrival early April. Fingers crossed. Going to plan a few day get-a-way about that time.
