This thread is meant to assist any dealerships that are listening as to how to get the sales finalization experience down to 15-30 minutes MAX!!! My experience took 5 hours and 4.5+ of that was sitting around waiting for them to get their act together. Please share your experience(s) and thoughts?

Jeff Belzer Kia, Lakeville, MN is MSRP. You can order a vehicle with $1000 down.

SOOOOO, after 7 months I picked up my vehicle (ordered December 27, 2021) on Monday July 25, 2022. It is a 2022 and is everything what I hoped it would be and IMHO worth the wait!!! FYI I ordered it solely based on reviews, features for the money, warranty, etc. and never drove one. I made a...

I had major issues with programming my Homelink until I cracked this code. (FYI I have 2 Chamberlain/Liftmaster 1/2HP openers). Start by pushing the Start Button on your vehicle Without your foot on the brake to put it into accessory mode. 1. Reset all buttons on the Homelink by pushing and...

Yes WELCOME to the Telluride waiting room!!! Can I get anybody some coffee???

How much are you thinking?

After reviewing Failcat data the changeover from 2020 to 2021 took place on 6/22/2020. It appears that the changeover from 2021 to 2022 took place around 6/10/2021. So if I was a betting man I would say that if your order is not picked up by 6/15/2022 you have a real solid chance of receiving a...

Thanks for the update Mad... I just added a link to kiamedia (in my now we wait...) post with pics and videos of the 2023. I also posted some of the pics there. I'm kind of hoping my order turns into a 23. And so we wait some more...lots of folks in this waiting room!!!

I was told by my dealer that if I change my order in any way or cancel and reorder I would go immediately to the back of the line. Depending on when they do the line changeover for model year I'm thinking that mine will most likely be a 2023!!! That will be sweet!!! I attached some 2023 photos...

Imagine waking up every day knowing that Christmas is coming...and it could be any day!!!

Any Update?

It really depends on your willingness to wait!!! When I ordered mine in December 2021 I was told 6-12 month wait. It was $1,000 and MSRP. I was also told that depending on how orders flowed I might get a 2023 at the same price. If you order now DON'T pay over MSRP and you will definitely get a...

Any update on your vehicle? I've got nothing except when I enquired about adding roof rails and sidesteps and was told that would send me to the back of the line. So if I do rails and sidesteps I'll do them as aftermarket.

It is still relevant. Based on your recommendation I'll probably go with the matte. I'm still not sure how far out mine is. Ordered 12/27/21...and have not heard back from the dealer that is is in the queue...and so we wait some more...
