As I’ve said on my previous thread, you are more than welcome to express your frustration at these prices here! I totally understand, and I’m not offended! I don’t make the prices.
If it was up to me, there would be free Ioniqs flying out the door.
I’ve offered cars here for cheaper than cell phone payments, but those prices are not available or sustainable 100% of the time. Pricing goes up and down w/supply and demand, sometimes by a HUGE amount. The current Kona EV prices are hundreds of dollars per month cheaper than they were 6-8 months ago, for instance.
Right now, all cars are expensive, but as soon as I can offer lower prices, it’d be my pleasure to offer prices that are as low as the market will bear!
One of the best parts about this forum is the raw input from the community that independently assesses the quality of my deals and service. You don’t have to hear my bias about what is a “good” or a “bad” deal. The numbers speak for themselves, and I’m surrounded by competitors that are always trying to push the numbers lower.
Robert, definitely agree you got a way better deal than what is available now on that particular car!!
The 2020s leftovers are long gone, and all that remains are the 2021 models.
Two months ago, while you got an incredible deal through my service, from a pure economic perspective, I can appreciate your frustration getting caught up in the pipeline, and the logistical hijinks (which is why I waived my $249 broker fee in your case). The good news is, at the end of the day, yes, the car you leased from one of my many partner dealerships is likely worth MUCH MORE than you’re into it for, and is potentially easy money in your pocket, should you want to flip it or get out of it.
Your case was unfortunately one where my process wasn’t as tight as it should have been, but you should take satisfaction in the fact that the kinks in your deal helped inspire my updated process, which puts more accountability on my dealer network than was previously the case. Dealers are now confirming the deal on their side with DocuSign too, which was a noticeably absent step in your deal.
Hyundai dealers are not luxury car dealers, so I think it’s fair to say that you shouldn’t expect the same level of service from the cheapest Hyundai lease in the country as you would from, say, a BMW. But still, your feedback is welcome and I will continue to work to improve my process. I strive to be better than your typical Hyundai dealership experience. Unfortunately you got a more typical experience, not unlike my first Hyundai dealership experience in 2019, and for that reason, I did not charge you my service fee.
I’m always working to improve my customer experience, to provide the most market-relevant pricing information that I can, and to get more EV’s on the road.
Thank you!
Andy
