Your dealer should be able to see the draw down from the allotted 200 . When I asked them about how the pre sale was going they told me that 155 had been spoken for with deposits , there is a internal program they have called " Pre order Booking Process " and in it they spec out the 2 offerings The GT is ' STARTING UNDER $45,000- AND THE lIMITED UNDER $50,000 , they are asking for a $5000 deposit , who is your dealer and where >>
I agree , I put down $1000 , but they wanted a $5K cheque for the order , so I cut the cheque , the took a pic of it then ripped it up then sent the image in with the order .................
My dealer was able to confirm my order last week and told me that there were still about 25 left before they close the book , I'm sure if you speak with the GM he will be able to confirm , I had to place top 3 color choices as well but They havent confirmed if I'll get my top choice , I was Thunder Gray , White and Ghost Gray , honestly I would be happy with any of them , good luck !!Well, I think my GT Limited is on order. According to Lethbridge (Alberta) Kia it is.
I had a somewhat different experience than you, westcoastGT. I ordered mine on Oct 5, but the dealer didn’t tell me what number (out of the 200) it is. I ordered a Limited, and was told I needed to give my top three color preferences. I chose Thunder Gray, Blue, and black. I had to give the dealer a check for $5000 to show Kia, but it won’t be cashed until I accept delivery of the car.
Do you know if there’s a way to check and verify the order has been placed? I’m feeling a bit concerned they’re scamming me, as you reported that there’s no more Limiteds available as of Oct 5th? Or did I misunderstand? I don’t see how they could have placed the order in that case, unless they ordered a plain GT, which I don’t want.

I have a copy of the Kia internal Pre Sale Program and Kia clearly states that 3 color choices and which of the 2 trim levels need to be prioritized and that the fulfilment process would do it best to deliver your top choice (color and trim ) but, that if unable, you would default to one of the others or your can forfeit the order and it goes to the next person ( assuming the program is over subscribed ) I agree , very clumbsy ! Thankfully the cars they make are much better than the dealers and regional marketing !!Interesting how varied the ordering process has been. I picked my colour and trim and that’s it no choices. Same process for my co-worker.
