Kia Time?

Just got a Subaru, then an Alfa Romeo.

Now maybe a Kia Telluride? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hell no! Seems there is a 8k premium at this dealer over MSRP! For a Kia!

What a world! Blame it one the chip shortage? COVID? Who knows.

It’s a whole parade at display lot 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Turns out, these Tellurides are all going for a premium, I am out.. 😬😬😬😬😬

No…this is the time to flip these at Grey market…

Clean out their whole inventory and list it on Carvana24.

Maybe 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What is the report on the Alfa, Ted? All good!?

By: orahu : May 25th, 2021-23:36

Everything is great, got about 1k miles on it..

Drives lovely. Damaged the font active aero splitter at a stop light pothole but got it fixed by a carbon fiber expert. No other issues so far. Some pics of my splitter damaged and then being fixed.. After ...

Great outcome! That must have brought a smile to your face! 😁

OMG yes, a new splitter is 3K and that is without dealer installation, I paid about 420 to repair the carbon fiber splitter, and it included him installing the splitter....

Nifty piece of work by the workshop 👏🏻

Not bad right?

By: K-Lo : May 26th, 2021-12:48

Yes, not bad at all…

The Telluride has great reviews, so maybe not surprised to hear this.

By: Jay (Eire) : May 26th, 2021-00:37

Yeah, those reviews got my wife on the lot. And then, the price, got me off of the lot, LOLOL

By: K-Lo : May 26th, 2021-00:42

😂 I hear you. This is all due to the chip shortage? Or is it those pesky flippers again ?

By: Jay (Eire) : May 26th, 2021-00:50

Who the heck knows.....

By: K-Lo : May 26th, 2021-00:51

But I know I am not paying 45,000 for a KIA!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yeah, this has been the case for the Telluride for a while. There's a lot of demand for the Hyundai Palisade too.

I had no idea!

By: K-Lo : May 26th, 2021-10:45

I only knew about it because it was on some news outlet...

By: patrick_y : May 27th, 2021-00:12

CNN or Bloomberg or another one. I was surprised. The thing is that a couple car critics from various magazines praised the car. And it has a "big look" for the price. These aspects contributed to its success. Lastly, there are relatively few competitors ...

Found it. It was a CNN article.

Ha! What a world

By: colton_d : May 26th, 2021-11:33

We picked up a Telluride for my wife towards the end of last year in anticipation of our 2nd child coming in March, I had no idea they were an in-demand model. We got a nice discount off MSRP to boot. World gone mad! I think you Alpha tops ours Best, Colt...

Yes! So crazy!!!! 8k above retail they are asking🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

By: K-Lo : May 26th, 2021-12:49

By: nacelle : May 26th, 2021-15:20
