    Leasing?

    Got a couple of crazy leasing prices here in NY, $700 a month for an SX, almost $800 a month for an SX-Prestige. Is anyone leasing and approximately what prices are you paying? We're up in 70K-80K MSRP range with those prices I was quoted...thank you!

    Trying to understand Dealer Strategy

    I'm looking into leasing here in NY, dealers are pricing WAY OVER MSRP. One dealer quoted me $800 a month on an SX-P, we're not talking BMW's here. Said if I wanted to order one it would PROBABLY be delivered by November...

    SX Prestige

    Are any dealers with the above vehicles leasing at reasonable prices? Reasonable being comparable to MSRP? Called 2 dealers here in the NY area, SX leasing for around $700 a month and SX-P around $800 a month, that for a $50K vehicle. My current lease, a 2017 GMC Acadia Limited MSRP'ed for about...

    Windshield chips and cracks

    All I'm thinking is that if you can prove the glass is randomly cracking then you'll probably have a case but in most of the images it looks like a foreign object hit the glass causing a small crack which then became a bigger crack. If I'm Kia I'm asking "How do we know that the object hitting...

    Windshield chips and cracks

    If you're implying I'm blaming user error then your wrong, the garage door obviously but the others (and you admitted as much yourself) look like a rock or something hit the windshields causing a "ding" in the glass. A ding will usually spread out when shock is applied to the glass (such as...

    Windshield chips and cracks

    I'm not understanding, if something (a rock, a garage door) hits your glass and cracks it is that the Company's fault? Are you all saying the glass is inferior and should withstand this damage? Just trying to understand...

    2020 Hyundai Palisade vs. 2020 Kia Telluride: Comparison

    Looks like you can't go wrong with either one and it would ultimately come down to styling preference. Me personally, I'm liking the Kia styling a touch more, YMMV! Thanks for the video.

    New Purchase Disaster

    How did you know it was just the one car? Is that what the dealer told you?

    New Purchase Disaster

    Something like that might not affect just one car, that could occur during a production run and could affect a number of cylinder heads...

    Can the tow package and Self-Leveling Rear Suspension be installed after purchase?

    Yep, that's what I have in my GMC Acadia plus a tow button that changes transmission shift points making them more optimal for towing. With the tow package I can tow 5,000 lb. without the package you can only tow 2,000 lb.

    Anyone else being turned off by greedy dealers?

    So did they explain to you where they got the extra money from? $452 to $700 is a HUGE difference.

    Have you spot another Telluride in the wild yet?

    Update of my post, saw my first one Sunday night parked in the handicap spot of a funeral home, not an SX but very nice looking!

    Long Island, NYC area

    Hi and welcome, Long Island here too. Don't have a Kia yet, maybe/hopefully in the future. Saw my first one (outside of dealer showrooms) last night in Nassau Co., very nice to finally see one on the street.

    KIA Telluride vs. Hyundai Palisade Dimensions

    I don't purchase, I lease. It seems many of the nightmares these days, at least from what I'm reading here are both dealer and factory related. I've never leased a Kia but I have leased from Hyundai and found the experience with them to be exceptional. As recently as 6 months ago I helped my...

    KIA Telluride vs. Hyundai Palisade Dimensions

    Thanks for this comparison, the more I see the Palisade and the more I hear about the nightmares with Telluride ordering, shortages, price gouging, problems I'm thinking a Hyundai might be in my future. As much as I like the Kia I'm not gonna deal with crap when getting a new car, that...

    Anyone else being turned off by greedy dealers?

    So $10K over MSRP had to be $55-$56K? P.T. Barnum had it right, "There's a sucker born every minute"...

    Consumer Reports gave the Kia Telluride an Overall Score of 90

    Well I do lease my vehicles so maybe I get rid of them early enough to avoid any issues. My low mileage Corvette is 14 years old and other then a few minor maintenance issues has never given me a lick of trouble and still runs like new. Maybe just lucky as you said...
