What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

i paid ADM. But I also paid under MSRP. My takeaway was that dealers are ranked (or rank themselves) by ADM. It was a wash for me at the end. I objected to dealer fees. They agreed to $1250 off MSRP and I paid their fees.

What matters in the end is how much you pay out of pocket, not all the math games.

No idea what you mean by having enough to buy a corvette.
Ah, well I should have $40K For a down. The Corvette is $77,000 well one I designed. So purchasing that is an option. I would rather do that than spend over MSRP. A completely different car and finance option although a little more fun. Bah who knows, I have at least until end o March perhaps June.
 
People who are looking for a 7-8 passenger SUV... are not cross shopping a C8. What do I know, maybe they are, just shove the kids in the front and the dog in the back.
It's not a cross shop as much as buy a Telluride for wife and grand kids after purchase of Corvette. I want the Telluride first but if it's the Corvette so be it.
 
Don't pick the wrong dude if you want to carjack someone.
There has been 4 car jackings in the last few months that all resulted in the car jacker being face blasted. 😂 You’d think they would learn that people have guns in America.

In Southern California, the markups for the Corvette is much much worse than the ones on the Telluride. Maybe it’s a lot better in your area but if getting to MSRP is your goal, then you’d have better luck with the Telly out here.

Where are you paying below MSRP for these? Your post is such a contradiction. You paid ADM as well as below MSRP :D?

I paid $1250 below MSRP for the car. I paid about $900 in dealer fees. I was using "ADM" to mean dealer fees, which are calculated separately than the cost of the car. So basically, I paid a few hundred under MSRP. I also had a trade-in that knocked $13,500 + tax off the whole thing, but that's a different part of the story.

I'm in Canada.
 
been watching these posts for while and trying to work with different dealers. Finally closed the deal on ebony black EX with nightfall package at msrp minus 500 credit for financing. 495 is doc fees

Is $495 the only fees you paid? Where are you located?

I bought a Telluride EX in Everlasting Silver, EX Premium package including 2nd-row captain chairs 20" wheels, LED HeadlampsTowing package, and self-leveling rear suspension. MSRP $43,375...they were giving away 55" TV's with vehicle purchase for Cyber Monday and I opted to take $400 off instead. So...$42,975 at 1.9% for 66 months. With all the horror stories of paying over MSRP I felt like a winner. So far I love the Telly!
I reserved the exact one but in Ebony Black for early January. I was wondering if the MSRP was accurate since I tried building it online and was getting different numbers, but it's looking the same.

Was able to get MSRP in Southern CA on a Telluride S model. Chose to go with the 500 rebate as I put enough down payment for it to make sense.

Thanks everyone.
 
I just bought my wife a 21 SX AWD in Dark Moss, butterscotch interior and tow package from Mastria Kia in Raynham, MA last week. I had a deposit down for a special order through Lev, but found this one unclaimed on failcat last month. I paid MSRP, and they had a $499 dealer doc fee. I financing half of it at 1.9 for 66 months through Kia Motors Financing. Mastria was great - the doc fee is a bit high imo, but otherwise no issues with them.

On a separate note, the car is awesome... I drive an older VW GTI which I can't give up (wife says next car has to be automatic), but if it wasn't for the stick shift issue, I'd buy another Kia in a heartbeat.
 
On the journey home with our new SX P NF in Black Copper! Drove up to OH since I could not find anyone at MSRP anywhere near me. Patrick Scofield was great at VanDevere Kia. He posted yesterday morning on FB that he had a Black Copper at MSRP. I jumped on it and we hit the road first thing this morning. Only extra was about 285 for the dealer fees.

He had everything waiting for us when we arrived. Started back home tonight to cut in to tomorrow's drive. Loving it so far!

Congrats. Post pics when you can!!
 
Will do. Will have to wash it when I get home. 1st hour of driving home was in the rain. Already dirty! LOL. Timing of the weather is lucky though. Could easily be snow in OH this time of year.
