Carnival delivery story - We are in NC, and reached out to every Kia dealer within 3hrs of us, starting in April. A dealer finally reached out in May, a Black SXP had come off the truck less than 12hrs prior, wasn't earmarked for anyone. We drive an hour, spend HOURS at the dealership, finally buy the car for 48k AFTER trade-in, paid 32k in cash. They bring it up to us for handoff, and somehow, between us testing it and them cleaning it up, the door cable assembly on the driver's side slider BROKE. To the point where, it wouldn't open all the way and was no longer safe to drive, and we had to leave it with them. Skip ahead, past months of arguing, cursing, threatening, begging...we finally took delivery on 8/20, over 100 days after paying for it. As horrible as this experience was, I know we'd STILL be waiting if we'd had to order one. But we LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
