I’ve been trying to land a deal on a Hummer EV 3x for a few weeks now and finally found a dealer with a unit that has the EV reservation credit of $6250 and is willing to give a 10% dealer discount.
MSRP: ~$101,000
Discount: ~10%
Rebates: $1000 Costco and $500 First Responder
Term: 36mo/10k
Money Factor: .00223
Due at Signing: $960 (First Month payment)
Monthly: $960 (including 7.75% tax)
When I run the numbers on the calculator, it shows the residual at 69%. There should be an increase in residual from the $7500 tax credit which would bring it to about ~77%. However, the dealer listed the residual at $73,176, which puts it at about 70.5%. When I asked the dealer about this, they said that the residual was reduced after 10/1.
Would the dealer be able to reduce the residual and profit from that? I was not able to find anything in Edmunds about the residual dropping. Your help is much appreciated!
