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 $24,900, this 911 has more than junk in its trunk
Porsche's first V8-engined road car, the 928, was originally intended to replace the 911. That didn't happen, but today's 911 has had its rear-mounted flat-6 replaced by a V8. That might make it an 829, but does its price make it irreplaceable? If the ancient idiom that one man's meat...

The prospect of spending you next vacation skinny dipping with Christie Brinkley may make you want to be Clark Griswold. And while you can't have his Wagon Queen Family Truckster, today's Country Squire may the next best thing, but is its price a trip not worth taking? Having a car...

At 7,382 feet, the Pordoi Pass is this highest road in Italy's Dolomite mountain range. Today's Triumph Dolomite is set up for the track rather than the road, but would you have to be high to pay its asking price? As frightening as the prospect of the first full-chat apex...

For $2,750, you could pickup this Crown Vichero
Ford last produced the Ranchero in 1979, which coincidentally was the same year they introduced their large-car Panther platform. Today's custom Crown Vic is a super freaky melange of the two, but does its price make it worth picking up? Yesterday's may have been named - in its home market...

If you're a fan of the thrasher band, Red Fang, then you've no doubt seen their Jackass-inspired video for the song Wires in which a third-gen Chevy B-body wagon is used in a gran mal version of will it blend? Today's '85 Caprice Wagon is almost a twin, but is...
