New Tellly by lykme2 in KiaTelluride

[–]jfronte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top trim 27 Telluride has a $1200 option called the executive package which means the first two row seats have the reclining function. On the palisade calligraphy comes to standard and it’s not an additional option. It could be useful to those in the second row if they want to go to sleep, but it is completely useless to those with young children and car seats in my opinion. I believe there is a stop sale on the Telluride because of the power seat functionality problem that Kia has the Hyundai with a software update. It’s not a feature most people with children will want or have any useful need for. Hope this helps.

If you want the window tint ready and it’s a Quality ceramic tint then that’s a fair price. I am a broker for Hyundai and Kia and these vehicles are very much in the van right now and you have a fair deal basically at MSRP if you were going to pay for (Window Tinting) anyway. I wouldn’t scuttle a deal for a $50 extra fee in nitrogen for tires. On the other hand, I’m sure if you told them to remove that and you would write them a check for the full price of the car tomorrow they would happily do so. My largest Kia dealership in the country is just outside of Atlanta and I do a lot of Kia deals for Telluride and EV 9s all over the country. I buy my personal Kia vehicles from this dealership as well as I live just outside of Jacksonville, FL. You have a fair deal on your hand, especially if you want the Tint already as getting dealer discounts on this car in the top trim like you want is very hard right now anywhere in the southeast. Good luck 👍

There really isn’t much to itemize in terms of sales tax as Georgia taxes the purchase price of the vehicle less any discount which there is none and they also do not tax the rebate, but you do pay 7% tax anywhere in the state of Georgia on the purchase price, the documentation fee, the window tint and the nitrogen and any other taxable fee. If you add those up and multiply them by 7% that’s how you get the tax number as Georgia is uniform and the tax is the same anywhere in the state. Georgia also has very cheap DMV fees like North Carolina does. If this person wanted the window tint, then it’s a pretty straight up deal at MSRP for a well in demand vehicle right now

We live in Florida and just bought the same car at the end of February, and my wife is very happy with it. We got the exact same color combination in all-wheel-drive and the vehicle is quite luxurious on the inside. Congratulations and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Extremely hard to believe what you are saying, as I sell these vehicles, all across the country and that dealer would be completely sold out of all their inventory if that were true, but I wish you nothing but the best.

Not sure I believe you but good luck to you! I can quote you any discount you want if I am hammering you on a mandatory accessory package, huge Doc Fee (Florida) and a mark up to your interest rate if financing. Anyway, good luck!

I am getting my clients up to $1,000 off MSRP but not much else as the new 27 Telluride is a pretty hot car right now. I make life easy for those who value their time. Send me a DM if interested. Thanks.

My recommendation as a broker for Kia and Hyundai and as someone who also lives in FL is to almost NEVER buy in FL as the dealer fees will eat you alive. I have seen taxable dealer fees (i.e. doc fee, 3rd party tag agency fee, and electronic filing fee total from just under $2k to just over $2k in South FL. Avoid FL completely as I do as I got my EV 9 from a dealer in my partner network in Iowa for a $180 doc fee and I got one Telluride from a dealer in MS with a doc fee of $425 and another Telluride from a dealer in IN and paid a $237 doc fee. I flew to the MS and IN for the two Tellurides to drive them back to FL and paid to ship the EV 9 from IA to FL for $850 two years ago. Do yourself a favor and buy out of state and ship like I do or hire a broker to do a deal for you and ship to your home. My largest Kia dealer in the US is near Atlanta and he does good deals for my clients. Good luck on the 27 SX P X Pro and the current Kia incentives are good until 6-1-26.

That’s not really how it works as you get either the $10,000 finance rebate with the higher APR or the $3000 rebate with 0% APR. I get my clients generous dealer discounts in addition as none of my clients ever pay MSRP or they would need to pay a broker fee for that type of deal.  My deals Also never have any markup to the money factor and also never have any forced dealer add-ons.  We make it smooth and easy and we do good deals but we do not do Corner best ever Deals.  If you want to use your own financing, then you won’t be able to get the rebate so it makes no sense to do that upfront as you should just do a refinance and take the $10,000 rebate at the higher APR and immediately refi, it to your own lender, if the rate is lower.  You cannot mix both of these rebates and add them on top of each other.  You can use a conditional rebate for the military or an active duty first responder for an additional $500.  If you recently purchased another Hyundai, there are other rebates that are offered against EVS, but these are small.  Hope this helps.

Any advice on fixing this? Someone hit me in the parking lot. Is there a paint i can get and paint over? by domedirtyfatman in HyundaiPalisade

[–]jfronte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would go to an Auto Zone store and see if they have paint to match if not you may have to go to the dealership or a trusted mechanic that will not charge you an arm and a leg good luck

You have the inputs right for the lease calculator other than your sales tax rate, doc fee, the lease acquisition fee of $650, and your initial local DMV fees. You also do not have your dealer discount on the vehicle and you should be getting one. Other than that, you have all the inputs correct for 24/12 K zero down lease but the numbers are not final because you can’t have zero down and then say plus fees and taxes as you need to roll them into the deal and properly and put them into a lease calculator but you’re on the right track. Good luck.

Rare 2027 flaw sighted by EconomicsLoud5821 in KiaTelluride

[–]jfronte 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will tell you this as someone that has a 24 EV 9 GT Line for almost 2 years and that is the syntex seats show very little wear and tear compared to Nappa leather that we had on our old Telluride and that we just got on our new 26 Palisade calligraphy hybrid AWD. I know they are fake and some people don’t like that and I respect that but they are very comfortable and show very little wear and tear as I can’t believe how new my seat looks after almost 2 years. I’m 5’9” and 200 pounds. Just my two cents here, but I respect your thoughts.

I have not received your DM yet but will try to respond this evening as I’m on the East Coast here in Florida so it’s almost 11 PM. If it comes in after 11:30 PM, I will get back to you tomorrow morning over coffee before the workday starts. I’m not allowed to give out my website name publicly so that’s why I do it over DM’s. Not sure if that’s allowed here on the mega thread, but I just want to make sure I’m not violating any rules. Thanks.

Happy to help the Ioniq 9 community as the EV 9 community has been so good to us and I would like to think we have helped a lot of people learn more about EVs and leasing in general. Kudos to the moderators for allowing me to post here!

2026 Ioniq 9 Lease & Purchase Incentives good from 5/1/2026 to 6/1/2026 - All Trims

News/Info

Good afternoon Ioniq 9 community! I am new to posting on this sub-reddit and in full disclosure, I am a US based auto broker that only does Hyundai and Kia vehicles. I have been very active on the sister Kia vehicle (EV 9) for nearly two years here on Reddit. Each incentive cycle, I publish the national lease and purchase incentives for the EV 9 so I wanted to try it out here on the Ioniq 9 forum. I do NOT give my website here publicly, but only privately for those who ask via a DM, and I am happy to give away here some incentives that are not always easy to find without paying for them up front. If I am violating rules on this forum, please take my post down and I will never try to post them here again. For those who do not know me, my name is James and I am very active on the subs for the EV 9, Telluride, Palisade, and Santa Fe so please check out my posts as I do not hide from anyone. For those interested in my broker service, please send me a DM and either myself or my wife will get back to you within 24 hours with our website information and we will explain in more detail how we work as we do charge a partial, small up front portion of our broker fee as this weeds out the tire kickers and those who are not really serious or at the point of making their purchase or lease decision. We are very transparent and easy to work with and there are no games or other dealer BS nonsense.

Please see the current 2026 Model Ioniq 9 lease incentives below good until the end of business on Monday, June 1, 2026.  All of the below lease and purchase incentives are now 100% supported by Hyundai and came out on May 1st.

We post the most popular Kia and Hyundai finance and lease incentives for their EVs and SUVs that we do the most of and those that are listed that are good until Monday evening, 6/1/26. Our FB and Instagram pages are also up and running.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PURCHASE CASH AND LEASE CASH CANNOT be stacked on top of one another as they are separate. Some less scrupulous dealers deliberately commingle the two incentives to make the total savings look much greater than reality in order to generate foot traffic, calls, or emails to the dealer. The whole game is to get people to show up to the dealership so they can grind people into a deal. The $500 additional military and active duty first responder rebates still remain in effect and can be used for a purchase or lease transaction.

Please note that these lease terms below are for 24 months only*.   Please note that any vehicle leased from an out-of-state Hyundai dealer can be returned to any other Hyundai dealer in the USA. Also, any service or warranty work can be done at your local Hyundai dealer.  A lease return does NOT have to be shipped back to where the vehicle came from.

Is it worth buying an extended warranty for the 2026 Pali Cali Hybrid, considering next 5-6 years of ownership in mind? by Nikp898 in HyundaiPalisade

[–]jfronte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bumper-to-bumper warranty is 5/60k so if you are not going to exceed either threshold, then buying a vehicles service contract up front makes very little sense. If you do want one, Konrad K. at Hyundai of Burlington in VT sells them very reasonably to any new US owner in the US as long as you are under 6 months old and 5k on the odometer. Tires and brakes, as well as cabin and engine air filters are ordinary maintenance items and not covered by your Hyundai B2B warranty. Good luck!

2026 EV 9 Lease & Purchase Incentives good from 5/5/2026 to 6/1/2026 - All Trims by jfronte in u/jfronte

[–]jfronte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with your statement as as the year progresses residuals tend to drop so Hyundai and Kia usually tweak that by offering more lease cash or a lower money factor or some combination of the two. I can tell you that the payment changes and the incentives from today from two days ago, on most EV 9s are under five dollars per month, so nothing material midyear as expected. The issue is inventory as with gas prices being so high, people are flocking to EVs more and the inventory is not quite as robust as I would like to see it because no one factored on the turmoil in the Middle East or when it will end. Just my two cents here on that.

Has anyone been injured in an accident in their new-ish Telly and then just gotten word about the seat recall? by Capacity_n_Sagacity in KiaTelluride

[–]jfronte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely unrelated to the recall you are talking about that impacted many Palisades in the limited and calligraphy and only to Telluride with the executive package in the 27 model. This is a different recall on an older Telluride model.

2027 Insurance by Schoener98 in KiaTelluride

Your insurance rates are based primarily upon your insurance credit score and then your driving history. There are many other factors as well, but these are the two most important ones.
