Hi group, Cleveland here, how about you?

Cincinnati here, we couldn't be much farther apart could we...lol

 

[arckal]

Columbus is in between

 

[Karam.31]

Columbus here as well. Who still needs to buy? @arckal and I were talking about possibly buying together to get a better price. Anyone here like to join to see what kind of deal we can get? The more the better obviously!!

I would go a couple hours north for a great deal on one. We are wanting the Moss SX prestige with black inteior. The only one I see within 250 miles of us though is in Michigan right now.

 

[Karam.31]

We should ask dealers what they would offer if 3-4 of us came in to purchase even if they were custom orders. If we can get them as close to 40k as possible we should. I say we shoot for the stars at 40k and free accessories and hopefully land on the moon.

 

[Karam.31]

I emailed a few dealers in the Columbus area. Will keep everyone posted. Not willing to go to a dealer without a written quote.

 

[Karam.31]

See below response... pretty common among all dealers. If we wait it out we can snag a good deal.

"Being that the Telluride is in such high demand at this time production has not leveled out to meet the demand for them. At this time I can only keep in touch with you to let you know what we do get in. All the Kia dealers are not willing to do a trade at this moment for the Tellurides since we are only getting so many instock on each delivery and selling them as fast as we are getting them in. When supply and demand levels out and we can get them in by orders I will have a greater chance of working out a great deal for all of you. Just at this time we can not order them in from the manufacture. Is everyone looking at the same model and options? All information can help me and you to get to the BEST deal possible!"

Which dealer was it? I guess I am looking for AWD SX Prestige.

 

[Karam.31]

This was from Byers Kia in Lewis Center, OH

 

[Karam.31]

Everyone send me their ideal specs and I can send to dealer. Mine are below. Any added accessories would be separate for simplicity. (i.e. tow hitch, floor mats, cargo net, wheel locks, etc.)

SX AWD Prestige - Black or Gray Exterior - Gray Nappa interior

 

[arckal]

SX AWD Prestige - Moss or Graphite Gray - Dune Brown Nappa or Gray Nappa -- arckal

SX AWD Prestige Moss with black interior

 

[arckal]

I am not sure but does anyone know if those KIA finance offer and Conquest offer are coming back again as I see Conquest offer has expire date 4/1/19.

 

[ucinn]

They usually do extend them or even increase them sometimes.

 

[Karam.31]

Thanks I emailed the specs... We will see! I'll be waiting awhile for better deals anyways so no rush for me. If you guys get the itch and decide to buy alone don't sweat it!

I found the closest SX to us in NJ and a few in Florida..they just don't seem to be making the SX. They seem to be flooding the market with LX, S, and EX's though

 

[Karam.31]

I had a dealer tell me they are stopping production on the bench seats and moving to all captain seat models moving forward. So S and SX. He also told me they capped production at right around 40,000 tellys for this model year. Not sure the truth but after challenging him on it he said it's true per kias regional production manager.

 

[Karam.31]

Here's his exact message... This is after I told him that with the demand they should be pushing out closer to their capacity of 100,000 per year. (Read the capacity in another thread on here)

 

[ucinn]

Good, because there is a huge void of SX's out there. There are a tone of LX's everywhere. S's and EX's are also abundant. Seems those aren't going as fast. Most people that I have talked to want either the SX or EX.
