What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

[arattle]

That's not true. You can get one at MSRP if you shop around.

Do you have firsthand experience with this? I haven't heard of too many people getting a Telluride off the lot at MSRP.

Can't vouch for the other person, but I've got one on order at MSRP. Twin Cities area.

That's not true. You can get one at MSRP if you shop around.

Many people have tried shopping around for hundreds of miles. If you've seen a new one of these let go off a lot (and not pre-ordered) for MSRP and with no dealer markup or insane fees, I'd love to see it.

So after searching for a few days, I finally found the exact build I wanted (Wolf Gray SX, Black int, with Nightfall, Prestige, and towing) about 4 hours away. Estimated delivery is 3 weeks. They agreed to sell at MSRP (about $51k) with no add-ons, however they are stipulating that I must use their financing (not KMF) or pay cash. Should this raise any red flags? Is it normal practice? I am prepared to pay cash if necessary but I was originally planning on financing through my credit union.

Same thing happened to me with a dealership in UT. Didn’t bother me as a planned to pay cash and interest on the the 5 months I carried the loan amounted to a little over $100.

Well, I finally got mine today ordered. 6 to 8 weeks until delivery. I got the prestige custom in Pearl white with dune brown interior Napa leather. Adding some accessories, plus the towing package with the auto leveling, the MSRP was, $48625. Got $1000 off that, plus current incentives. Options are leasing it for $588, 12k/year with $2500 down, or $690 for 75 months with 5k down to purchase it. If delivery manages to be before April 30th, I’ll be able to get the founders discount of one month of payment by Kia, otherwise I hope May incentives are better. Fingers crossed.

Which dealer did you go to?

 

[Jromero]

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.

What was the name of the dealership ?

Yes. I was able to find a 2022 "S" less than a month ago for MSRP.

2022 for MSRP in Michigan? (Or Northern OH or IN)

Hello, Any recommendations for a dealer who will sell/order a 2022 Telluride S at MSRP in Michigan? (Also open to Northern Ohio or Indiana) Dealt with a couple in the metro-Detroit area and they want over MSRP. Not doing that. Seems short-sighted in my mind for short term profit and...

I was able to get a 2022 "S" for MSRP less than a month ago. Found exactly what I was looking for on failcat for one that was already on the way to the dealer and got it for MSRP. Got pretty lucky. Not saying the same will be in other regions. Got lucky with a small dealership who wasn't doing any markups, at least on the "S". I wasn't looking for the higher trim levels.

I also ordered one at MSRP in the twin cities recently!

I ordered mine (SX-P Wolf Gray/Black, N/F and Tow) on 07/22 at MSRP (No advance deposit). 90 days of waiting. However, dealer is pushing to add his own package (Door guards, handle protectors, Pin-Stripes, Windows Tint etc.) which is over $2000. Discussions are still on to take them off.

What is there to discuss? That’s a deal breaker if ever there was one.

Take your deposit back if you need to and order from somewhere else before you fall even further back in line. Cut your losses at 1 months time lost.

Exactly! What happens a month or two from now when you go to pick it up? Would you walk after all time if suddenly the dealer added a couple thousand in extras?

Dealer is committed to sell it on MSRP, I came to know about the add-ons when I saw the copy of the order. I am going to talk to the General Manager of the dealership to square this off this week. I haven't paid a dime, I can walk away anytime if he doesn't budge.

Those two statements contradict each other. Either two thousand extra dollars come out of your pocket or they don’t.

Agreed! I will talk to the GM and close it. Other issue is that rest of the dealers within 100 miles radius are asking for 4K-8K markup over MSRP, and I am thinking to negotiate on the add-ons and close the deal in my favor.

I would. I have waited 6 months for my ELS AWD N/p with Dune Brown. Picking up 8/24/21. When i get there, if they have added any extras,i'm walking. I'll let you know. PS: I'm only adding Gap Insurance

Why are you adding GAP insurance?

Not a bad idea if supply evens out and the values tank, in the event of a total. Covers your butt for the difference between current value and what’s left on the loan.

Saved my ass when I was just out of College and bought a car that was wrecked within the first year. Well worth it especially when a car is brand new and you have a big loan and the value off the lot depreciated day 1. Those days might come back quicker than anyone might think.

If you’re in the Columbus, OH area I just had the best experience at Ricart! Paid MSRP for a 2022 S Trim in Glacial white pearl with AWD. It did come with car mats & the cargo liner but I was okay paying for those. Went in with my own financing already with my bank & they ended up coming under the interest rate I walked in with so very happy with my purchase! If you go ask for Wesley “Wes” Hoover.
