The Kia Telluride is still selling like there’s cash in its cargo area. Through June nearly have been sold this year. And as one reader pointed out to us, a lot of dealers been trying to cash in on how hot the Telluride is by marking them up.

is a group of three Kia dealers two in New Hampshire and one in Norwood, Massachusetts. In total, there are 30 Tellurides in their inventory across the three dealerships. And every one has a healthy markup.

The Concord and Norwood lots have twelve Tellurides each; North Hampton has six. Across all lots, the top-of-the-line SX trims have the biggest markups and represent the bulk of the Tellurides in stock. How bad is it? Try $10,000 on each SX. With an MSRP of $49,965 and the $10k markup, you’re looking at nearly $60,000 for a Telluride from this place.

Thinking of trying to save some money and getting a lower or mid-trim? Think again. S and EX trims have $6,000 on them bringing their prices in line with MSRP on an SX.

Base LX models with MSRPs of just over $36,000 have the smallest markups at $4,000. But with those markups, it again brings prices in line with what S and EX models are supposed to cost. Sadly, looking around the country this seems to be the norm, especially with SX trimmed Tellurides. Tellurides currently for sale across the country, 573 are priced at $60,000 and up.

If you cant wait and must have a Telluride right now, at least shop around for the best price.

For $85,000, This 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Ain’t For No Girly Man
Today’s Grand Wagoneer doesn’t just rock a 500-horse biodiesel DuraMax, it also the provenance of having once been owned by the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s pretty cool, but we’ll see if its price doesn’t terminate your interest in it. Do you remember the late, great Chris Farley in Tommy...

For $3,500, Would You Wake Up This 1975 Chevy Cosworth Vega?
Today’s Vega is one of the rare Cosworth editions with the DOHC four designed by that venerable company. That 4-valve engine makes its price intriguing. The fact that engine does’t run? Well, we’ll just see about that. Hey, remember last Friday? I know I don’t. Luckily we have the Internet...

For $2,500, This 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis Will Stick It To Ya
While we generally love stick shifts in everything from Miatas to riding mowers, there’s just something wonderfully incongruous about there being one in today’s Mercury. Let’s see however, if its price will keep you from becoming the Marquis de sad. Pontiac’s advertising once touted that We Build Excitement, Pon-tee-ack! Well,...

Today’s contender is ultra-low milage, and will let you tell everyone that you drive a McLaren. That is if you drive it, which would possibly lower its worth. Before we get there however, let’s see what you think it’s worth now. Yesterday’s may have been plastic, but according to its...
