What did they offer for money factor? Why are you considering 36 mos / 10k when 24 mos / 12k has better residual AND better base MF? Also, that’s a high MSRP for an SEL - why not go Limited at that point?
6% off before rebates isn’t terrible. My sense is you got a pretty standard deal w/ high fees but I’m not familiar with what’s normal for Maryland.
So here is how it is looking, the tax is an interesting perspective so yes although I can use it later for a trade in I also want to see what’s the best bang for buck. Apart from tax situation what would be a nice point on rebates etc? Keep in mind these are older inventory units
You would only get this tax break if you could in fact trade in the vehicle at the end of thr lease for anywhere near the residual value. It would make no sense to trade in your leased Ioniq if the trade value was less than residual. Md dealers almost always low ball trade in value by 6% knowing there is a 6% tax credit on total trade value. If they are nice they only lower it by 4% to make it appear you are getting a deal!
You need to ask yourself if paying $500 - $600 a month for a Hyundai Ioniq5 is worth the money. You are in BWM 330i territory with the limited. I have driven both as rental cars recently. I prefer the BMW 330i, but I am biased to German brands. If you want electric, you can get an i4 40e for about the same price as the lower spec Hyundai.
