What are your taxes? That sounds like a lot for a EXP/N
You're right, that does seem like a lot. That 7% taxes hurts as well as the options I don't actually want.
Here is the cost breakdown:
base msrp: 39790
nightfall: 1395
premium package: 1695 (I think, my picture of the window sticker is a bit blurry)
Tow Package: 795
Carpeted
Floor Mats: $210 (I hate paying for these)
Rear Entertainment System: $1,500 (Apparently I can remove this option but I might take them out when it arrives. They seem terrible)
Wheel Locks: $60 (hate paying for this too. Wheel locks are just a pita)
Freight/shipping: $1225
Sticker Total: 46670
Luxcare $1495 (I'd choose to pay maybe $500 if this is legit. I have my doubts. The dealership does this to every car that arrives)
Car subtotal: $48,165
Taxes: $3,376.55
Fees: $586 (I think this is the license plate, registration, etc)
Total: $52,127.55
My ideal Telluride would cost
50K(from Kia site)
SX Trim $44,590
Dark Moss $0
Dune Brown Premium Nappa Leather Seat Trim $295
Cross Bars $310
SX Nightfall Edition Package $1,395
SX Prestige Package $2,300
Destination $1,225
Pre tax total $50,115
tax $3500
Fees $586 (I presume these are the same)
For a total of: 54201 - if this was an actionable option I'd obviously do it instead.
Edit: sigh, maybe I ought to keep looking.
