Update 1: Dealer that gave me problems called me up this morning and apologized, A person named Stephanie said I should come in and she will make it right. I get there, and nobody knows who she is and they give me the runaround that unless I get a new car through them they won’t take it in! SHAME ON YOU PLAZA KIA!

Shame Shame Know Your Name. What happened to just helping people?

I don't understand this whole transaction. I have returned many leases and sometimes left the car which at times was a different brand than what is was buying and never had a hint of an issue. They all brought the car back to the brand dealership for me. Is this normal Kia behavior?

But, but, but... they are doing MSRP -$1600 specials!!!!! 14 Tellies in stock and ready to go!!!!!

P.S. Before you ask, I cannot return it to my original dealer (long story).

I would like to know why you were not able to return to the original lease dealer. Secondly, Nostrand Ave dealers... BKLYN dealers... they are

My original lease was from a leasing dealer and not a dealership directly. They leased it from a dealer far up in upstate NY. I tried to contact that dealer but no response.

As to why I did not return the lease at the same time and place I took out my Telluride. That's because I leased it from Kia of Muncie (Jason and Lucas are amazing BTW), and had no interest in driving 11 hours two ways.

I don't know if you live in the NYC area, but welcome to NYC!

Avoid all Plaza dealers in NYC.

Avoid all Plaza dealers in NYC.

Avoid NYC dealers in general, I worked at one years ago for a short time, it's enough to know all their problems and they haven't changed. But also accepting lease returns for them is a logistical nightmare, since space is at such a premium that a spot for a new car is being lost to a lease return they have to hold until the finance company comes to retrieve it.
I ended up buying mine at a dealer on LI even though Kia kept sending info on my "local" dealers, even the LI dealer was surprised I came out there, I was honest, told them I don't trust NYC dealers.
