What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

I found a new Telluride EX-P that was exactly what we wanted on Monday, and brought it home on Tuesday. Paid MSRP but agreed to $1299 in paint protection we didn't necessarily want. Tough finding a better deal in the Nashville area, especially on such short notice.
What dealership? I’m also in Nashville and having a very hard time.

Same boat in middle Tennessee. Really struggling to find anything that isn't marked up at least $5k. Some nearby are 10. @Brentutk where did you end up buying from?

Hey guys. I went to Martin Kia in Bowling Green, KY. Only about an hour and 10 minutes north of Nashville. It was a good experience and helped that I negotiated the price, fee's, and trade before going up there. Like any car buying experience, they do want to make as much money as possible, so be diligent when it comes to your APR on financing, extended warranties, etc. In the end, the only extra I paid for was the $1299 paint protection.

Also, the 2nd cheapest I found in Middle Tennessee would probably be Kia of Murfreesboro. $2k over MSRP.
 
Purchased 2021 Telluride LX AWD Glacial White Pearl for $39.8k 3 weeks ago (I think msrp was closer to 37k so it appears this was a good deal in this market) in Los Angeles because we had a connection with the GM. Actual asking was $46k for this trim for any other buyer. We did 2” lift and added big tires (see signature). Service dept is waiting on black roof rails and they claim they will factory install the roof rails. Silly the LX was not given roof rails. Didn’t realize until we drove off the lot. This is the nicest suv I’ve ever seen and our upgrades make it one of a kind. Enjoy the pictures.

Just placed a custom order with Kia in Schaumburg, IL for SX Nightfall with Prestige at MSRP around 49K including destination charges. Was told its 3-4 month turn around.

MSRP for EX AWD Wolf Gray/Black, order placed with dealer 15 minutes from home, refundable $1000 deposit (which dealer never actually ran our cc..lol)
ETA is 6/4, so if it holds about 8 weeks from placing order.
The night I drove home from our dealer, I got phone call from another dealer about 45 minutes away, telling me that they had same Telluride EX Wolf Gray on lot, they added $3200 "Lifetime Protection Package" that is non negotiable and mandatory. I said no thanks, we'll wait for our order form our dealer, we're in no hurry. This arrogant salesman told me I didn't know what I was doing, and shouldn't have placed order wirh our dealer, that they lie about telling me 3-4 month wait, and its more like 8 months. Again, I told him no thanks, and stuck with our dealer, who I felt was much more honest.
We will most likely have our Telly at MSRP, and more like an 8 week wait, give or take.
If your not in a hurry, take the the time to find a trustworthy dealer, it will be well worth the wait!
Dealer near me gave me the best offer I’ve had of MSRP + $1,500 in stupid addons. 8-9 month wait
 
$50,485.

You ordered a 2022, or you bought a 2022?
 
They got MSRP pricing and spec sheets for the 2022 already?
They said they did, the guy has been talking with me daily, really impressed. I have been talking with 5 different dealers, and these are the only guys that were not trying to sell me anything and sent me out the door prices right away without a CRAZY mark up. One guy was trying to get me to buy a used one for $56k.

The sales dude from Sioux City texts me too, and will keep me updated of any changes or anything. Doesn't expect stock for 3-4 months, so only deposit down now. Of course something funky could happen, but he's really impressed me.

There is a massive shortage of chips required to build the computers for automobiles. Don't be surprised if it takes far longer than your expected 6-8 weeks.

As for those that think they can haggle on the MSRP ... dream on. There is only 3% mark up on Kias. And Tellysl sell instantly. They are the highest demand vehicles on the market.

I live in Georgia and every dealer I talked to had an ADM (Markup) of at least $2K if not more. Worst I heard was $15k in Atlanta, but Kia Country of Savannah, GA has $3995 markup with $500 off for new Kia customers and, if you are a Vet, Retired Military, Active Duty, or Guard/Reserve you can get another $400 off.

Looks like we got lucky with timing, and dealer that sold at MSRP, no markup.
