Deal Check: Kia EV9 GT-Line

, ,

I am specifically looking for either an EV9 or Ioniq9 with captain’s chairs. I have seen what is posted here and unfortunately I just can’t reach quite what a handful of people have gotten, this is the closest yet by far. My current Equinox EV lease gets returned in 1 week so I am hoping to find something soon. I do have a backup so it’s not an emergency.

My current best and what I am considering: Calculator

MSRP: 77580

Discount: 7.8%

Monthly $692, first month DAS.

How far out are willing to go from bama?

Pretty far, I would say 300 miles or so. More if there was something crazy. Even this one is a 2.5hr drive and in GA.

Maybe target some older units?

You are trying to be at sub $650?

The handful of 1yr+ on the lot cars I’ve inquired about have been the absolute most firm on MSRP or practically no discount. I guess it makes sense that they are still on the lot.

My ideal goal is sub $600 or right around based on a handful of signed cars here in the past few months, incentives are a bit different now but according to RateHackr I think they’re practically identical in terms of final payment.

I know part of my issue is this one is 1-2k higher MSRP because of paint color and other useless addons.

Are you saying something like “I can be there to sign if I have a buyers order by close today” or something very firm so they get the sense you’d close with them? That may also help in working the deal?

Unfortunately I can’t always be that flexible because I work at a hospital but I always make clear I could be out within 1-3 days after work just depending on what’s happening. Usually it’s within 1 day. I know we’re at the end of Q3 as well which could technically help if they’re trying to move but nothing yet.
