What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

[Schlegel]

Maybe they’ll accept a deposit?

Some type of written & signed contract and a deposit for sure~!

 

[Zerati]

Are they going to offer it to you for actual MSRP I would get that in writing

I do have it in writing and placed a deposit on it. But I have read some stories on here and anything can happen. So until we sign the final paperwork and don’t want to say for sure we have it.

Wondering about expectations for price off msrp—my dealer is now taking orders but will only do it for msrp. Any ideas about negotiating price or expected rebates/incentives? Are other Kia models discounted much?

Dealers will not negotiate price on Telluride, so if you are not willing to pay MSRP or more, better look for a different model.

A little late to this thread. I picked up my 2021 Wolf Grey Nightfall EX AWD last month. Wound up leasing.

I'm in South Florida. I started looking early May and dealers in my area were $5-10K with their market adjusted price (sickening, I emailed Kia with dealer complaints about it). One Monday morning before work I was checking Coral Springs Kia inventory about 6am and saw the Wolf Grey EX Nightfall Premium and went through their online price offer tool. The Coral Springs Kia claims they are home of the "Black and White Transparent Pricing." Basically set up a deal with $9000 down that worked out to a 3 yr lease monthly payment of $445 or a purchase payment of $570/mo based on MSRP. Printed it out and was at the dealer at 9am when their doors opened. Turns out that vehicle was sold the day prior and the website inventory wasn't updated yet. I asked what they had coming in that wasn't sold and they happened to see the same Wolf Grey EX Premium AWD Nightfall build just without the tow package due to arrive in the next week. I told them if they would honor the price deal from the website which was MSRP, I'll sign all the paperwork. So they did honor their website pricing. MSRP on my actual vehicle was $44,940. Doc fees are pretty much all $999 and of course tax, title, registration. I got them to throw in all weather mats since this one didn't have the tow package. So after 3 years lease payments + down payment = $23,500 and KMF has 3 year depreciation at 63% so my lease buyout price would be $28,312 (should be able to buyout cash in 3 years). I figure I'll be sticking with this beauty anyways so start with lease to keep payments down and buyout price all in puts me at $51,812 out the door. I told them to pull out tax title and registration and I would pay that up front and not to roll that into the payment (why pay interest on that?). So my down payment was split more like $4500 towards principal and $4500 Doc+TTR.

Nice treatment of the leasing scenario. My EX Premium AWD is coming in July, and this was a good reminder to get my target lease parameters sorted well before then. Thanks!

Also, Since I will most likely buyout at end of lease, I did not take any extra miles and stuck with the base 10K/yr. My finance guy was honest upfront and told me there is no need for any GAP as with a lease through KMF they cover the GAP. I did not purchase any add on warranty which also significantly jacks the price (again my finance guy was honest and said I have to review these options with you but under no circumstances should you feel pressured or obligated to buy any additional warranty packages). If you do purchase, the way the Telly's are holding value, you probably don't need GAP purchasing either. I have a feeling fair market value/BB will still be higher than $28K in 3 years.

I came out of a Subaru Outback lease before getting the Telly. Wound up selling the Outback to Carvana for $5K over my buyout price. So really was only out of pocket for half of my down payment.

Carvana is offering crazy buy numbers. They offered $1200 over KBB for my Grand Cherokee [locked in for three weeks]. Sounded too good to be true, so I checked with good friend of mine is senior staff at a huge dealership in NOVA. He confirmed that Carvana is hell bent on buying market share, offering buyouts that the dealers cant come close to matching as a trade. Also in the 'this never happens' category, my Credit Karma service sent email in May - Your car increased in value by $2000 this month. Then another in June for a $1000 increase. This market is irrational!!

[Mrvance291]

$39,395.71 out the door for an S. Includes dealer tint charges

Did you get AWD?

 

[Surfin3591]

Just secured a dealer inbound 2022 Glacial White Pearl AWD SX-NF-P for $3k over MSRP. Set to arrive the beginning of next week. Can’t believe I’m paying over sticker for a car, but CarMax is buying my 2yr old Odyssey for $2,500 more than I paid for it brand new ($9,500 higher than it was valued 4-5 months ago). So I guess it more than evens out.

“I was shocked,” said Ken Baird, a 61-year-old Boca Raton, Fla., resident who was recently shopping for a Kia Telluride. The window sticker on the particular model he was looking at read $45,000, and he said he offered to pay $3,000 over that knowing the vehicle was in high demand.
But the dealership wanted $10,000 above the original sticker. “They said, ‘I’ll get the $55,000 from someone else,’” Mr. Baird said.

Car Dealers Are Selling More Vehicles Above the Sticker Price — The Wall Street Journal

It’s a seller’s market, but production shortfalls also mean dealerships must manage with lower sales volume

Welcome! I'm definitely subscribing to this!

what is with you people and thinking you need lower then MSRP. This vehicle is #1 in the country and cheaper than any other SUV in its class and you are still asking for discounts. Kia pricing on their vehicles is different from other manufactures. There a difference of 1400 Dollars. Thats it!!!! Where Ford and Chevrolet have sometimes 10K between invoice and MSRP. Also, no dealer is obligated to sell at MSRP. The market determines the price and the ones selling at MSRP not doing it out of the kindness of their heart. They are getting it somewhere.

Everyone on this forum understands that. You're a little late to the party - replying to a 2019 post and old posts in other threads. But, welcome in any case. I presume you are a salesperson at a dealership - if you want to market on the forum, I'd recommend contacting the admin and asking for an authorized dealer account. Some people are willing to pay markups for the convenience of getting the Telluride faster. But, some folks aren't.

 

[KiaKia21]

I feel like it cheapens the Telluride. This is not the Kia of 2000 there is no money in selling a Telluride at MSRP and giving them all the best deals in all the other areas. This is not Ford Or Chevy the mark up is not there..

What cheapens the Telluride? Haggling over price? There's plenty of money in the Telluride for Kia... I presume what you are saying is that there isn't enough money there for salespeople and dealership overhead - like stale popcorn and 16 inch balloons for the big sale. Well, if you don't like selling Kias, then check out the Ford or Chevy dealerships, or even better - Cadillac.

Didn't Saturn try the whole no haggling thing? Is this what is being suggested here, come in and pay what the dealer is asking? That would definitely make me feel like I'm having a more premium purchasing experience.

I don't know what he is suggesting... but yeah, he seems to think large markups are the way to go. Just wants a piece of the pie too I guess.

Kia of Muncie Indiana offers Costco pricing (below MSRP, a little over invoice) if you are willing to wait a few months to get it.

Did you deal with anyone specifically?
