What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

Ebony black AWD Prestige with gray nappa interior. I posted an offer I received early that seems hard to beat. 42k before taxes with cargo net, cargo tray, all weather mats, mud flaps.
That was my exact build and exact price. I’d say you got a good deal.
 
Hope so! I'm in Northern VA (Dulles, Chantilly, Fairfax dealers are the closest), and I'm willing to travel up to maybe 150-200 mi for a really great deal. I'm interested in the SX trim only. I don't need the Prestige package but most SX trims are equipped with that package right now. I'm only looking at AWD, and I'm pretty flexible on exterior color but I know I do not want grey interior (got some messy kids). Thanks for taking a look around!
I am in the same area and looking for the same SX AWD trim. Let me know if you find any good deals locally. Right now dealers are charging over msrp, which is crazy considering it's a freaking Kia.

I think if you can wait until summer and after the Palisade is released things will settle down
 
Ebony Black SX w/Butterscotch interior. After rebates plus adding on Platinum warranty, gap insurance, and maintenance plan, we were at $44,250 out the door.
That is my exact want. Can you post some pics of the butterscotch interior? I haven’t seen it in person yet. It’s a hard color to gauge though pics. In some it looks yellow but in others it looks more tan. Thank you! Gorgeous ride.

Interesting read...not sure about the impact of the Palisade on Telluride demand. Maybe 60-65000 production but these are sold world wide including Korea. There would need to be a serious surge from Korea to tap down demand. More likely the Georgia plant production will catch up and some of this silly season stuff will end. Note the Korean corporate Kia estimate of production/sales 64000, not 40000.

 
I paid just below msrp with out incentives.


How much was the platinum warranty?
I talked them down to $1,150. There was quite a bit of wiggle room it seemed. If they want to sell it bad enough they will work with you.

They’re both beautiful inside and out. I actually prefer the Telluride exterior and the Palisade interior. I’m not crazy about the huge pillar cutting off the rear side windows on the Palisade. If the pillar was smaller and the rear windows were larger, then the Palisade might’ve won the outside for me too. As far as the inside, the Hyundai is the winner for me. I always thought the Kia instrumentation font was a bit wacky, pointy, and 70s looking, while the Hyundai font is much cleaner and more modern looking.

I’m still leaning towards the Palisade for the better premium audio system (12 speakers vs. 10) and for the one thing I’ve been dying to get in my next car: an all digital dashboard. (I was disappointed to see that it’s not an option for the Telluride, even though Car & Driver initially reported it was. A heads-up display does make up for this some, however.) I’m thinking (hoping) that a fully loaded Palisade will sticker for about $2,000 more than the Telluride SX Premium.

Anyway, Kiundai nailed it with the Telluride and Palisade. These are the first SUVs within the realm of affordability for me that check all my boxes, and they deserve a medal for sticking with a V6 engine (I really don’t want a turbo 4). I can’t wait to take them both for test drives. As long as they’re comfortable for me and reviews don’t reveal any nasty surprises (unlikely), one of these will be my next car.
i'm having the same trouble trying to choose between them. but i'm a year away so i have time to wait

My observation on two different posts on this thread, someone pays 41k for LX :rolleyes: and you have someone post and say 44k to SX prestige AWD :unsure:

I guess that is my bad and I should clarify. I have the Ebony Black SX, but non Prestige w/ Premium warranty, Maintenance Plan, and GAP Insurance. $44,250 OTD.

Any one lease one yet? I am looking at an EX was quoted $548 a month....$0 down / 36mo / 12k mi
 
Go to the Kia Telluride build website. EX awd, no options, 36/12, 0 down, MSRP cap cost and 1100 Kia incentive will be around 520. Looks like your dealer is using a cap cost around 5k over MSRP.

The Kia website doesn't include any fees or taxes. Depending on which state you live in, that $520 number can be way off. In PA for example the taxes on the $520 would be another $46.80/month. That doesn't even include any registration or other fees.

After reading this forum and looking at financing an S trim myself, that seems like a high price for a lease to me. I think you could finance it for around that same cost (FWD).

Thanks. Yeah I am in Taxassachusetts. I tried using that calculator and thought, damn this looks pretty good and then all of these lease quotes coming in, im like wait a min, WTF happened? I would love for it to be around $515-$520.
Maybe hold out a little bit more into May.
 
Hello everybody I just bought me a EX Gravity Gray for $35k after rebates and discounts MSRP was around $38500. I love the Telluride already. Only thing I dont like is the 18 inch wheels. Im gonna start looking at some aftermarket 20s.

I believe there were some people on this forum selling wheels in another thread.
