Also the MF is still high in grand scheme of things so you would want to just buy it out immediately, and refinance at 5% or something and have a great deal on an EV with free charging for 2 years.
Leasing 101 q: How does buying out a lease work? Wouldn’t I be on the hook for all remaining lease payments which would basically mean making payments at the original interest rate? Could I technically lease the car then buy it out immediately with cash and get the benefit of not getting skinned on interest rate?
THOUSANDS? No. I see $495 for Window Tint which is actually reasonable in todays market… and the $495 for paint protection.
He can of course just say no to those… but I suspect he wants those items anyway and it is not bad for tint. Paint protection, no clue what it actually is, PPF film or just some wax or some insurance. lol.
Even if this $1,000 was all profit… $3200 off on the Ioniq 5 right now is not bad… considering brokers here are at most offering 3% discount before paying a $500 broker fee.
So even with these add ons, it is a very solid deal.
I have been shopping for same vehicles and the most I was able to secure is 3% so far myself, which is around $1,500.
Maybe for decent window tint, but not the shitty stuff the dealer will put on. If anything, its a negative vslue because of the cost of having to remove it if you want tint that doesnt suck.
$2200 off may be a decent deal here, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking theres a $3200 discount.
In my opinion, it might be wise to delay your purchase until the end of Q2 as there is a potential for an improvement in the numbers in the near future.
I am guessing he is looking at a slowdown scenario.
Talked with a VW sales manager and he just said they saw their EV sales crawl to a holt. local Hyundai dealer has been very slow to sell Ioniq and getting more and more vehicles in now.
Then there is the expected Tesla price drop to drive model 3 sales towards end of Q2. Their inventories are near record levels on those.
And of course Jan 1, the federal tax credit will be point of sale, so that will also cause pricing pressures the more we get closer to that date.
Factory windows are typically dyed during the window manufacturing process… it’s not a separate film that gets added.
The primary benefit to an aftermarket tint job is getting something with excellent IR blocking. Something you’re never going to get out of a $499 dealer add on.
