What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

So I just added up all the options for the SX and I don't go over $50,000.
I agree....my order included most options including running boards and I still did not get over 50K. Its an SX P with towing, running boards, and small accessories like car mats.
 
Not sure how yours is cheaper than this but I suggest you find a dealer to place the order for you and buy it!

Sorry I left off optional paint so add $495 if you select one of those colors.
You literally got everything under the sun lol

I stand corrected. The app I was using was missing some of the options.
 
Just to update the thread as it may be helpful for others. The dealer closest to us didnt have any inventory. We were quoted the 56k as I stated above from a dealer about 30 min away. There was another dealer in another state (25-30 miles away) who had one SX in inventory but sold that yesterday. I asked that dealer about $ over MSRP and they said they were pricing around 5k above MSRP but wouldnt have any for 2-3 more weeks. Our dealer had one SX at 10k over MSRP and an S was on the lot already sold. So inventory is very tight and we did end up paying 54k out the door price for the SX. Obviously not ideal but I think the dealers know they have a winner here and can command pricing so it's not a good negotiating spot to be in for consumers. There were literally 2 other families that came in to test drive the car we ended up buying while we were there. Definitely a sweet ride!

Congrats man....enjoy (y) (y):cool:
 
Yea I snuck in that new $1500 DVD option too. Ha
I'm sure they'll build a few of these with every single accessory and package and someone will gladly pay over $60k for them.

A lot of people have different descriptions for out the door. Did your OTD price include taxes?

How much over MSRP is it?
 
Wolf gray, nightfall prestige, every box checked except the DVD headrests. No discounts due to high demand, so with TT&L ($3-4K), out the door right around $60K. We're gonna have it at least 10 years and it's our dream car. Everything has its price and we're willing to pay it. Worth it!

Congratulations! Presume there was a markup on that or did you add extended warranty too?
 
Thank you very much Tobster! I remember being in middle school 20 years ago and building out a BMW 5 series on their website, thinking how cool it'd be do it for real some day. Dreams do come true (and I'd take this model over any car on the road right now, seriously).

I did not add extended warranty, and assume there was a small markup. He limited me to 6 packages at the factory, and the rest his dealership would install because "they gotta feed their families too". That's not shady to me...it's transparent. We are extremely blessed to be able to afford this car, and I wholly expected a markup. It was probably around $2K. To me, if you're buying a car brand new, you're knowingly assuming a calculated risk on a highly depreciating asset or whatever, but again, everything has a price. If you're willing to pay it, you can get exactly the car you want, so that's what we did. Been driving the same 2000 4Runner since I was 16. The time is now haha. Can't wait to join the Telluride family.

I’ve done this many times for my dream car.....still doing it to this day. Just unable to follow through on all those purchases lol

Northeast can vary quite a bit. In NY/NJ it seems it is very common to find above MSRP but you can find deals closer to MSRP with some work. I haven't read or heard much about CT, RI, NH, VT or Maine. In Massachusetts where I am, there are several dealers selling at MSRP but the wait times seem to be a few months unless you find something incoming to a dealer that is not claimed yet. There are also dealers selling at a markup in Mass but I see that mostly with in stock units.
Anybody you’d recommend in MA? Only seem to be a couple less than ideal options here in RI.

Stamford Kia in CT was selling at MSRP a few weeks ago and seemed like a decent dealer. Although they were only taking orders on 2021's, you can always check to see if someone has cancelled their order on an incoming car.

First call I would make would be to Brian Byington at Ron Bouchard Kia in Lancaster. I spoke to him earlier this week and he had a list of unclaimed Tellurides coming in. I would have jumped one one but he didn't have one with the interior color my wife prefers. We are waiting on a Telluride from Lev Kia and looking for delivery this fall.

Check out this thread - here are 2 of my posts within:
 
Just ordered mine today.
SX Limited Nightfall (Midnight in Canada) for $60,000 all in (taxes, shipping).


Pretty happy with that. Now the wait.....hoping it is not too long. I was told that Kia is back to full production, so that’s a positive.

Nice, you went with gray or black? I haven't test driven or seen wolf grey in person but still ordered one. Don't even need to? Although I'm lookin forward to an image of wolf gray that's not taken by Kia. I want to see a regular ol up close dealership smartphone shot. It looks like a mix between flat and metallic and I'm here for it tbh.

Let us know what you paid for your KIA Telluride. Adding your package, options, and any other relevant information would be very helpful. An "out the door" price would be great as well...
The out the door price for the EX Premium with tow pkg and roof rails in the panhandle of Texas was $..51,902. We decided not to buy.
