I don’t have any knowledge here beyond this article, but seems like the extra incentive could make the Ioniq 5 highly competitive versus the Mach E or Model Y assuming Hyundai isn’t playing bait-and-switch with residual and/or MF. Applies to all 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5 models.
Which hackr will be the first to lock this deal down? (Spoiler Alert: not me).
Thanks for the cross-x. I should have included that. I saw that before I posted, but since that was more of a sidebar to a different discussion in the buy/lease subcategory, figured I would post this separately since it is a lease-only deal.
This 2023 IONIQ 5 with MSRP of $56,500 ($58,320 w/destination) is showing a $503.02 pre-tax lease payment (36/10) with only first payment due at drive-off.
FYI, the dealer on that vehicle (D’Arcy Hyundai) refused to honor the lease price on the Hyundai USA website. Instead of $503/month pre-tax with $0 down, they quoted me a “final offer” of $767/mo with $766 down, attributing the increase to “tax, title and fees”. So apparently “tax, title and fees” cost $766 up-front and $264/mo, for a total of $10,271. That’s 56.7% of the pre-tax/fee cost. If I agreed to that number, I am sure they had a bridge to sell me next.
Did they already fulfill them? I submitted one when it opened up and they don’t update you or any tracking. It’s been crickets. They did reach out to get a missing document. But, that’s it.
Arces is right. The residual is not good. I just went to a dealer in PA tonight with four 2023 models on the lot. I believe they’re outright lying to my face. They even gave me a sales sheet breaking down the payments. It said straight up only $7500 off yet the dealer kept insisting it actually is $15,000 off. Guess the monthly… $800/m for a 36/10 ioniq 5 limited. Yeah right.
Sure, but we all know that is just leaving room for dealer markup. This thing is last year’s version of a car with tepid sales. The only question should be how big the dealer discount is. Throwing $8k of dealer markup on 2023 model with a sticker of $58k is ridiculous.
I had a local dealer play hardball when I told him the numbers I wanted for ioniq 5. He called me 2 days later and said he will do the deal, unfortunately I was in middle of signing a deal at another dealer who gave me straightforward price on the very first call.
