Kia Telluride - over MSRP?
Posted on 12/12/21 at 4:05 pm

I've started looking in to getting a Kia Telluride and have been seeing them listed USED at $10k+ over brand new MSRP. Went to a Kia dealership and the salesman said they would charge an $8k premium over MSRP! The lack of inventory/chip shortage were given as the reasons, yet somehow they could potentially get a new order shipped in 45 days (from the Georgia factory).
I've read through Will Cover's thread about not accepting MSRP as a starting point, so this seems extra crazy to me. Anyone had any experience lately dealing with the shortage? I'm thinking I just go to every Kia dealership in 100 miles and pit them against each other until I can get someone down to MSRP. They'd still be making a profit, right?

Good luck.
Tellurides have been a hot item and above MSRP before the “chip shortage”. It’s been like this for a couple years.

Got mine $1,000 below msrp, $39k total, in March 2020 which was supposedly a great deal at the time because they were usually going for no less than msrp.
Dealership called the other day, asked my mileage (26,000) and said they would give me $44,000 trade on it if I wanted a different model on their lot. Its wild right now

Sorry, you aren’t getting a Will Cover style deal any time soon on a Telluride.
I picked one up last August for $40100. It was best deal I found by far, just got lucky.
We love the car though. Got the EX model with premium package. That combo just about gets you everything you get in the SX model except memory seat adjustment.

Was told on another site an area dealer offered MSRP on a 6-8 month wait, so that's good to hear.

Never pay over MSRP for anything.

Toss this out the window.
Most vehicles are going over msrp right now, especially the telluride.
You’ll probably do better on a palisade than telluride. I do think the telluride exterior aesthetics are much nicer than the palisade, but the Hyundai interior and tech is actually better than the Kia.
Also, if you can find a dealer that will do a custom order (on a Kia), you may get it at msrp.
I just picked up the sorento at msrp (baby telluride) and I love it.

You have to order a telluride if you want MSRP. We have currently been waiting 4 months on ours.

Kia is starting to figure out the American market

Has he updated that thread in the last six month? For vehicles that are popular like Telluride good luck getting MSRP right now. I’d wait a year.

We got ours in August 2020. Though it was below MSRP, the dealership added a $1,000 "Inventory Demand Fee". Pretty much told me to shove it when I said I wasn't paying it.
So far, for what we paid for it, I can't stand the car and my wife is starting to get aggravated with it at times also. Hope you enjoy it. You'll need to adjust your headlights down quite a bit off the lot if they are still shipping them with headlights set to high.

Terrible time to buy a vehicle. But good luck

Bought a 2021 SX under MSRP... you have to go out of town and have it shipped. There's a web site that lists all Tellurides made/not sold in a sortable sheet and lists what dealer has or will have it.
Work the phone and you can get what you want without ordering - FYI, they're cheaper in areas where other manufacturers have plants.

I saw a 2019 going for 48K in Texas
Couldn't believe it. Was a pretty slick looking vehicle but I couldn't imagine paying that for a 2 year old Kia.
