[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Picked up my Telluride last week.  It was quite a process as I didnt want to pay $5-10k over MSRP like many of the dealers in this region wanted.  I joined the telluride forum, used failcat to find which dealers were getting tellurides in (it's a website one of the members created where you can search once a telluride vin is created), contacted about 15 dealers, mainly in PA.  Found a dealer that was charging MSRP without any games (some charged MSRP but added $2k protection packages or other nonsense).

Honestly I wasn't going to go through all this and just buy a Palisade or another Highlander (what I had before).  But the new nightfall package makes it look so cool, coupled with the way it looks inside and drives are all top notch.  I've been thrilled so far but it was certainly a process![/quote]

Can you please help me! I posted earlier on the thread about how much I liked the Telluride (also want nightfall package), I test drove last night and now convinced that I want it. What dealership did you buy from? Im looking at these two...

I would start with joining the tellurideforum.org (there's also a kiatulluride forum but it doesnt seem as active).  A lot of great info there.  You can often search for a dealer there to see if it's on the good or bad dealer list.  A quick search there says king kia was charging above MSRP.  There are also some bad reviews about koons.  
I bought mine from ladd-hanford in Lebanon PA and it was an awesome experience.   If you reach out to their internet department Cody is the guy i spoke with.  If you look on failcat you need to anticipate about a month out from when the vin shows up at that particular dealer.  Ladd-Hanford is a small dealer so they dont have as many coming in.  And like I said some of the ones that show up are pre-orders so already spoken for.  There are dealers you can order from but the wait is 3-6 months (you may get a 2022 by then, parsons kia in VA is one closer by).  I was going to get one at Buchanan Kia in westminster as they are selling at MSRP but the one at Ladd-Hanford came in earlier  Call them up and see if they have any incoming, the conversations I've had with their GM have been good.

Steps:
1) register for the forum
2) search failcat for tellurides that fit what you are looking for (Trim, packages, AWD/FWD, color, etc...)
3) contact the dealers to see if the ones coming in are available
4) as what their OTD price is (and check the forum to see what other experiences are)
5) Wait for it to come in!  They are worth the hype, i have a wolf gray SX with nightfall, prestige, tow.  I tinted the front windows and added black OEM running boards I had to buy from Canada![/quote]

Thank you so much for the follow-up. I registered on the forum and sent several emails to dealers. The folks at Dulles Kia seem to want to make a deal, but still want 4K over list. So hopefully I will get some good feedback from other dealerships.[/quote]

I’m back....can’t get any dealership within a 100 mile radius to budge on the considerable markup.  Couldn’t believe Brown’s Kia in Manassas had the nerve to have a flat $10k markup of the nightfall edition and they had 4 in stock. I’m starting to consider the new brought back to life Honda Passport  :( [/quote]

Are you trying to buy one on the lot or asking them what's coming in?  It's going to take at least a month if you can see what inventory is coming in.   Did you try Buchanan kia?  Bergey Kia is another one.  Someone on the forum posted about Salisbury kia having one that they ordered and didn't need.

It is a frustrating process and the pilot may be a better option if you need an suv right away. [/quote]

Buchanan and Bergen, no stock. Salisbury, no stock. Their sister store in Fredericksburg has the wolf gray (not interested in that color) and a Gravity gray coming in on 4/12 for 54k.  I checked Failcat today it doesn’t appear any new VINS were added.

I really don’t want the Passport, I feel like I’d be settling. But I was surprised how nice it looked and it felt okay on the driver’s seat. But just not the look I’m going for.[/quote]
