New Info:
Markup is 5k off an MSRP of 41385. MF is .00022
Clearly my Down Payment is their Markup.

Not good. Itâs not even the SX. RV is solid, but donât know the MF. How much above MSRP is it? You can buy these for MSRP if you shop around. May have to do some traveling and be patient.
You can? Last few Kia Posts were saying Telluride was a Dealer can ask whatever they want for it and get it kind of deals.
Yes a lot of dealers, especially in the SoCal market can ask $2-10k over MSRP and get it. That doesnât mean that all of them do that. This is a great forum to find the dealers who sell at MSRP:
Iâm in St. Louis and out of 8 Kia dealers, only 2 will sell at MSRP. But I had to find them.
Yup, thatâs why Poster said heâs from CA, in regards to the Telluride, the SoCal dealers are stealing.
Thanks guys will hope to come back with more details to see if this is worth it or not. For me itâs kinda hard to guage what a good baseline for a Telluride is after all the research.
Hereâs some info for your Baseline.
Can I do 10k? Yeah. Easily. Pilots and MDX are old heading into redesigns are they not? And LexusâŚwell only the GX has 7 passengers and itâs a gas guzzler.
Exactly. People can ask whatever they want, doesnât mean anyone has to pay it.
The Telluride doesnât lease particularly well but the key to financing it is to find dealers who will:
Sell at MSRP
Less any rebates
Without any add-ons
The link you provided is a good one, but the list of âgood and badâ dealers is sometimes a fluid one. Dealerships add or drop their markups based on fluctuating supply and demand. Thatâs why itâs also helpful to look at recent posts and threads in the purchasing section of that forum
Good advice
Just because some dealers are doing/getting that, doesnât mean they all are.
I ran into the same thing with my palisade. Dealers were asking (and getting) $6+k over MSRP after incentives. Including a dealer that posted here. At the time, I was still able to get $6k under msrp after incentives by shopping diligently. Donât fall into the trap that because some dealers are asking/getting way over MSRP that they all are.
I agree. But was your deal in the SoCal area? Updated new details BTW. Clearly Iâm getting hosed.
Yes, it was
Itâs funny here at LeaseHacker, I say âItâs Hot and hard to get at MSRPâ and someone says âI can get it for lessâ, but in another thread where I said âYou are buying at MSRP?â and someone says âSome Cars canât be gotten for less than MSRP because they are hotâ haha.
Canât win on that when there are 2 sides and you are always on the wrong side. hehe
I was pointing out that even on this radio show CarProUSA they say the Telluride is difficult to find , and even harder to find at MSRP. This SUV for some reason is super popular, wish I knew why. Maybe because itâs first gen?
Best bang for buck interior and MPG at MSRP. Thatâs why
Except the interior on the palisade is nicer and the same engine/platform so same mpg.
Your post read much more to me as âthese only go for way over MSRPâ rather than âitâs a challenge to get it at or below msrpâ.
The problem I was trying to highlight is that just because people are paying over MSRP doesnât mean one should just accept that and pay that.
I agree that tellurides are very difficult to get a discount on, but even in California, one can at least get away from paying thousands over.
Yeah it is i feel like Telluride and Palisade can be spoken more or less interchangeably.
I agree, thatâs also why I offered Poster to look at MDXâs and Pilots as alternative SUVs that arenât red hot but still good. (Notice I did not say CX-9, I hate that SUV)
But I am starting to see that everyone here takes sides and sometimes when a note is posted, one of the sides always has to counter it.
Of course he shouldnât pay MSRP or above MSRP on any reasonable car. But Poster should know that the vehicle he wants is super hot and will have to work extremely hard just to find a good deal.
Donât shop for a telluride in SoCal. There are plenty of out of state dealers that do MSRP deals. Just check the Telluride forums, they have dealer contacts down to the names.
@mllcb42 is right in that you may be able to find some dealer in SoCal without a ridiculous mark up, but that would likely involve a lot of work (and a lot of getting laughed at).
