Unfortunately, that is how things are. Many of us are going out of state to place orders with Dealers that does MSRP for custom orders. You may have to go that route if you don't want to pay heavy premiums on these.

You may have to go that route if you don't want to pay heavy premiums on these.I'm interested in purchasing a SX or SX-Prestige in Central FL, my local dealership is stating that I can't get a Carnival without going around 10k over MRSP for a SX or 12-15k over MRSP on a Prestige. Frankly, based on the supply / demand, I'm not opposed to paying MRSP or even a bit above for a custom build, but going 10-15k over to me seems a bit ridiculous / almost like false advertising.
I'm reaching out to other dealerships, but wanted to hear from anyone else on the forum about your experiences with Kia - did you have a similar experience in having to pay this much above MRSP?
When I purchased my Prestige in July 2021, prices in NJ were already 5-8k over MSRP. Looked online, found a dealer who charged MSRP and traveled 10+ hours to Indiana to purchase. Despite the trek, it was worth it.I'm interested in purchasing a SX or SX-Prestige in Central FL, my local dealership is stating that I can't get a Carnival without going around 10k over MRSP for a SX or 12-15k over MRSP on a Prestige.

I'm in Florida and no dealers are selling at MSRP. Did an online purchase with Gossett Kia south in Memphis at MSRP, no hassel with them.
Same here...Gossett Kia South has a good thing going. They have been pulling business from other states for a minute.I'm in Florida and no dealers are selling at MSRP. Did an online purchase with Gossett Kia south in Memphis at MSRP, no hassel with them.
Mind me asking which dealership? We’re in north Florida looking for an EX, and coming up empty.Things must be changing. Got my Carnival EX for $500 under MSRP in central Florida this past weekend (not a custom order--found one in stock that we liked 1 1/2 hours away; FWIW, they said that the three EX's they had in stock had been there for 5 days, so maybe sales are slowing a bit with the higher interest rates that are out there now?).
We bought ours at Gettel Kia in Bradenton.Mind me asking which dealership? We’re in north Florida looking for an EX, and coming up empty.
