What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

[Duckhunter80]

Just placed an order at Finnin (Tony) in Dubuque IA.

so far, very good, honest experience.

EX-P at msrp, no etching, or anything funny. List plus the destination. Reasonable offer on trade in as well.

New to the Telly world, but so glad to have found this forum!

Just put in my order for a Gravity Gray SX-P (NF) from Hilltop Kia in Richmond, CA. Agreed w/ past post, working with Lewis has been awesome and easy! I currently live in Sacramento, but the markups in this area is just ridiculous that I had to look outside of my area. The wait time is 6-8 months, but figured it was more worth it to me financially to wait, especially since Hilltop does not have any markups (not trying to pay any more than MSRP). Anyone from CA have any other leads for shorter times and/or no crazy markups, or would ya'll say this is probably the best it's gonna get?

@MrTelluride:

GG with NFE? Nice. EX-Premium or SX AWD?

We also worked with Lewis toward the end of the process and he's a true professional, highly-recommended like Carlos and Moe. If you put the money down for the deposit, you're in line for a coveted allocation. It's just a waiting game at that point. Immerse yourself in this Forum and all the Kia and Telluride videos you can stand. (Check out the amazing "KIA Features Film" with some great shots of the Forte, Soul, Seltos and Stinger GT).

When your order finally gets picked up by KFOS, and you finally get your VIN posted by Kia and your preliminary ETA, you're golden and things move quickly at that point. Start ordering any accessories that didn't get into the KFOS order and enjoy the anticipation of getting your Telly.

I would definitely work with Hilltop Ford/Kia again for any Ford/Kia needs, perhaps another Dark Moss Dune Brown Telly SX P/T or a Pearl White or Dark Blue Stinger GT2 or a Blue Kia Forte GT-Manual? Or just a top-trim loaded Ford F-150 Raptor hahah

SX- AWD...had to go all in for our first family SUV. Appreciate all the info! I will definitely be watching a whole bunch of Kia & Telluride vids. My wife and I are pretty pumped, despite having to wait so long. Btw...a top-trim Ford F-150 Raptor sounds AMAZING!

Was this a 2020 or 2021? That seems pretty remarkable for the newest model, unless they’re just not selling well in Canada.

2021. 3 month wait and only sales manage has one on each lot as a demo. They would only give me 1k off msrp until I shopped around and got lower quotes.

Wow is the supply still so thin for the Tellurides?

I guess so! I just got home from Elk Grove Kia in the Sacramento, CA area... and the markup is $12K!! Why!? I would never.

The craziest part is they are probably selling them with that markup. How many units did they have in stock?

All the local dealers in North Carolina wanted $3-4k over sticker. Just picked up a 2021 EX for $1,000 under sticker. Had to fly from NC to Boston, guess they were having trouble selling a FWD in the north. Enjoyed my 13hr drive home, great ride!

SX Trim? Just 1.

We’re selling the wolf gray SX night fall prestige AWD for minimum 8-9K over msrp. It’s a high demand vehicle in SoCal and you won’t find many tellurides on the lots. For some it is shocking to pay anything over msrp but when you see the quality built into this specific car that’s winning awards b2b and rated #1 suv two years in a row. You will maybe understand! as an employee I can’t even get one at msrp but as a loyal kia owner (6 cars total) I wouldn’t mind paying a little over. I still have to negotiate a deal

Well you should have a nice 8-9k down payment in your pocket after selling to a customer to buy your own from your dealership you work at. People are getting that same quality built telluride at other dealerships willing to sell at msrp, they just have to wait a bit which is worth it in my opinion

Why can I buy the same vehicle in canada for 4k under msrp? They are just as in demand here.

Ordered a D Moss SX/P, NFE, Dune interior from Ashleigh Waller at Napleton’s Mid River Kia back (01/03) after a trip to the mountains in a Ford Edge. MSRP minus whatever Kia has in offer at delivery. Very pleasant experience. Just got informed eta now is 03/21! Excited!
if anyone is looking, they are in the middle of the country (MO) and great to deal with. Call her at 636-926-2110 x1171 and mention Golru from this forum for the most straight forward ordering experience!

 

[Miatd]

I ordered mine today! Ended up going with the Moss w/Dune Brown SX w/Prestige AWD, $46,215 out the door w/the following accessories at no cost: Illuminated scuff plates, all weather mats w/trunk liner, cargo net, rear bumper protection, and side steps at dealer cost. The rebates I got were the 1000 competitor and 400 military off MSRP. Not much of a discount and I shopped 8 dealers, most had the vehicle priced at an average 5k above MSRP when I see those side stickers I walk away. I did not pay tax as I'm a disable vet in GA. 1.9 @ 60. The nice thing is that the dealer is letting me drive a Sorento SX while the order comes in which is roughly 60 days away.

That's a great price! Great color combo too! I just got black copper SXP with dune brown and I love it!!

 

[Miatd]

I just got a Black Copper SXP for a little over $47K plus tax which was another $3,800, DMV fees, etc. Total out the door was around $51K. The dealership we went to isn't willing to offer much of a discount or deal on these Tellurides because they are so popular right now. They are selling them like hot cakes which means people are willing to buy them for the listing price. Luckily I have a great husband who wanted me to enjoy a nice ride for many years to come!

Made an order recently for MSRP (but 6-8 month wait), but another dealer just called me about one in stock but for $5K over. Either have it now or wait towards the end of the year. Decisions!

average wait not that the plants are open back is 2.5-3 mths. Call Ashley from my previous post or Muncie Kia

 

[Long Island gal]

I‘m taking a one way flight to Buffalo International Airport and going straight to the Kia dealer (10 minutes away) after the sale of my SXPN Telly I will take a 6 hour drive back home. We sure do love our Tellys

Does Muncie Kia do delivery/shipping to out of state?
