In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

So my VIN showed up on Sept. 30 and my ETA is Nov. 15. When is the VIN created in the process? Seems like a very long time to get a vehicle to the dealer Once the process has started.

For those of you that have taken delivery, how long did you wait after seeing your VIN Until it arrived at the dealer?
 
See my timeline in my Signature below. Thought it would be of interest as your VIN was issued the same day as mine.
 
The KIA plant in Georgia ships by truck and rail. Depending on your location will be the way it is shipped. From what I have seen the truck deliveries from the plant have the shortest transit time. The rail transport still has to be finally shipped by truck so it is a extra step in the delivery process. So the time from VIN to delivery can be from a month to 2 months.
 
I have an SX/PT ordered so I’m sure that made a difference. Looks like it will be 5 1/2 -6 months for me

Just joined. Ordered a Telluride back in August; still waiting. Is there a website one can go to that allows you to track ETA and delivery info once a VIN has been assigned?
 
Check out the following thread.


You can look at some of the most recent posts for how to ask your request, but essentially you will post your VIN and StephenCantrelle can help provide you that information. Stephen works for a Kia dealer in TX and is extremely valuable to these forums. He does this to help everyone on these forums so I personally would encourage tipping him (see his signature), but it is not required.
 
OK, thank you and...sorry for the repetitive question on several threads. Newbie mistake. Won't happen again.
 
No worries, glad to help. You'll find that these forums are very active and the large, large majority of folks on these boards are happy to help. We were all new to the forums at some point.
