My mom doesn’t want that and unfortunately only wants the telluride -.-
If she is not in a hurry you can wait. When Kia realizes that their telluride is not selling as they want then they won’t have any other choice but to lower their price.
Well, her lease is up mid September. She said she doesn’t mind renting a car in the mean time, but I’m sure waiting a month or even until October won’t help much but who knows.
It’s not about being aggressive. The market is driven by supply and demand. The dealer won’t care you can get other cars for less when they know they can get over MSRP for their Telluride.
I imagine with the palisade now on the market, they’re going to have to adjust their strategies

From other threads I’d push for somewhere between 4% (looks to be invoice) and 7% off MSRP. You can use this thread as reference or reach out to the broker in SoCal and see if the deal they are offering is still good, or at least similar.
That’s true… I was also considering saving the VIN’s of cars from various Kia dealerships and tracking if they’re still on the lot (also putting down how many SX they have). Then, perhaps I can use that as fire power to say “hey, these aren’t moving in your lot, so asking for 5k or 10k over MSRP isn’t working”. Obviously I’d word it a lot nicer though lol

what the hell is a telluride and why is it selling above msrp?

Just use Cargurus for that and target the ones that have been sitting the longest, but from what I’ve briefly seen it doesn’t look like these are sitting particularly long at the moment, using zip code 90210 because I’m an idiot.
New Kia SUV
You should know man, ur a broker 
. but seriously, the review videos for the vehicle have been awesome. Only issue is the badge in the US.
if you are in so cal, i can get you to a dealer who can do msrp and give you incentives on lease as well
that are 1300 for 36 mo
and 2300 for 24 mo
i am taking about a dealer in LA/OC area
That’s not the only issue. The dealership experience sucks and you run the risk of a Forte or Rio loaner should you need to take it in. Pass.

Biggest problem right now seems to be supply and demand. Not sure where OP is, but there are only ~50 Tellurides in the entire Chicagoland area. Want a Pallisade? 140 to choose from. Want an Atlas? Pick and choose from ~1000…
tell u no ride… when a dealer adds “adjusted market value” there is no haggling with them, just leave and never go back. Look for other dealers who don’t mark up their hamster transporters.

Like every other dealer since the incentives are from the captive?
I think what they mean is that some dealers seem to think it’s okay to gobble up manufacturer incentives.
I’ve seen a few of those in my day… you have to haggle from them the incentives that come from the manufacturer

I’m from SoCal. I’ve checked inventories of the surrounding dealerships and looks like some got a recent delivery which is good news actually.
She may not have to rent. Not sure who the leasing co is, but I’m in a similar situation. My lease (Subaru Motor Finance aka Chase) is up in October, but am extending it for up to 6 months (month to month). You’re paying the same monthly amount, same monthly mileage allocation and whenever ready, just turn it in. I too am waiting for a better time to lease either a Telluride, Palisade or Atlas (might just purchase the latter if a good enough deal appears).
