Looking to buy a new 2027 Telluride in the near future. Any recommendations for a good dealership or contacts? Any to avoid? I'm in the NW Houston area. TIA

Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search but couldn't find anything.

Ordered a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid SX-Prestige a few weeks ago from Beck and Masten, now known as Group 1 Auto. I bought my wife a Kia Carnival last summer, here's what I wrote about the different Houston Kia Dealers then. https://texags.com/forums/46/topics/3550226/replies/70559194

Updates since talking to Kia dealers about the Telluride Hybrid last month. This may not be as bad if you're looking at gas only Telluride as they've been out longer. Every dealer I talked to had $2,500-5,000 worth of add-ons/adjustments on the Hybrid Tellurides last month except for Beck & Masten. They sell for MSRP but wouldn't go a penny below it on the Hybrids.

I wanted one with a tow package, B&M had one without a tow package and dealer install of the tow package was $1,800, while factory installed is $625. I offered to buy that one if they would install the tow package for $625 and they flat out refused, offered to order me one with it at MSRP so that's what I did. I would have put one on myself but there aren't any available for the 2027 Hybrid.

I ended up getting Muhammad as a salesperson again, same one I got last year. Had the same experience again as he was quite pushy trying to get me to buy a car they had in stock instead of ordering one from the factory or another dealership that was exactly what I wanted. The back and forth went on for a while until I finally got him to bring the sales manager over that said it was absolutely no problem to order what I wanted.

I've seen people on other message boards claim to get $1,000-2,000 off MSRP of Hybrid Tellurides in other locations but that was not my experience in the Houston area. Also I don't have a trade-in for them to screw me on so they can go under MSRP on the car. My Telluride is scheduled to arrive on the 31st.

I'm a sales manager at the kia dealership in round rock. Email is in my profile, let me know what you are looking to do.

We are getting MSRP on tellurides still, esp hybrids. We have some adds and packages but the only one we really hold on is tint.

I purchased my wife a 2027 X Line SX Prestige hybrid. I went to Cowboy Kia in Conroe and Beck and Masten. Cowboy was forcing other items for which I was not willing to pay. We ultimately purchased from Beck and Masten. I basically paid MSRP but was able to negotiate small things like all season mats. There was not a lot of wiggle room.

I bought mine from Sterling in Bryan even though I lived very near to Beck and Masten. Very good experience.

Just email every Kia dealer in the Houston and go with the lowest price

Thanks for the replies. For those who have purchased, are you paying the "Delivery fee" or are you able to get that removed? Mookie, thanks for reaching out, I may email you once we get closer to purchasing although I don't know that I'll be able to make to your area.

Please do, would love to earn your business or at the very least help you navigate a local deal if that's what you prefer. Here to help, just let me know.
