What did you pay for your KIA Telluride?

If you can wait, contact Lucas at Muncie Kia in Indiana. They will order one at MSRP - Costco discount, no dealer add-ons. Shipping should be reasonable. There are many dealers that sell at MSRP if you look around.
Will be giving him a ring today. Really appreciate the heads up (y)

What’s the Costco discount?
 
What’s the Costco discount?
What above says. Just by mentioning Costco Auto Discount, he offered to knock off $1200(SX). If you don't have Costco membership, sign up for a year and still save yourself $1100+. It would cover your shipping cost. My only problem with Muncie was wait time. I ended up ordering from another dealer in my state at MSRP - (Whatever Kia Offer is for November).

I haven't been able to contact him yet, but what was the wait time he gave you for a new build?

In CA many people talk about using Hilltop Kia as the best option and pricing at MSRP. You should find many threads and mentions for Hilltop if you run a Search at the top right of the page.

Give them a call or email, they'll get right back to you with updated etas. Last I read orders being delivered now were from deposits put down last year this time. Good ppl, I almost put an order in last December and I'd still be waiting now.
Safe bet would be spring to early summer for a Muncie order now unless KIA has supplied them with more monthly allocations shorting that timeline. GL

I wanted SX P+N and his estimate was 6-8 months. I think he either said 30 or 38 SX AWD in queue waiting(mid to late last month).

Will definitely look in to this as well. Thank you.
 
I am paying 51,500 but if it was an option I had it installed except for running boards and an interior lighting package. This includes the Tow package Also it is not a Night Fall, I did not want that with the Black Copper exterior. Even with the acceptance and ETA I have not seen it on Failcat yet. Also Failcat show only 3 cars started today. Not sure it got updated.

Failcat shows the VINs that were picked up over the previous 24 hours. Monday is generally only showing VINs that were picked up over the weekend. Tues through Sat you will see the most VINs as it is showing Mon through Fri activity.
 
Bought our wolf grey ex for 2300 above msrp in Bridgewater NJ. I just happened to be first one to look at it after it got delivered to the dealership
______________________________
 
I paid $2500 above at Andy Moore Kia in Indy for an EXP. I had been looking for a deal at or near msrp for a long time. Had two opportunites to buy at msrp but the cars didn't have the options I wanted. When they called me to say that had one coming in I got it in a week. Pulled the trigger. Tired of waiting plus I had a close friend pass recently and decided life is too short. The dealership was good to work with btw.
 
Got a Glacier White Pearl SX w/ Nightfall w/ cross bars + side steps for $57 OTD. About $2500 over MSRP + a poorly negotiated $1300 for the cross bars and side steps. Not the greatest deal in the world as I had a deposit on an SX Prestige at Hilltop Kia at MSRP, but decided to go local instead of transporting.

If anyone is looking for a White SX Prestige at MSRP, let me know. It is still available.

I also have a contect for an Everlasting Silver SX Prestige + Nightfall in MA coming in late Dec/early Jan.

What is the MSRP sticker price? What is the breakdown of fees, taxes and other costs that are included in the total OTD cost?

I'm trying to decide how hard to lowball their offer, which is $61,701 OTD. The sticker MSRP is $49710, the salesman reported "4500 in taxes and fees," which is maybe a 300-500 hundred over another dealer. So he says, it's "not that much more over MSRP."

I get they need to make a living, but they don't have to make it all on me.
Thanks- we're in northern VA if that helps...
