I know people love to construct goalposts that only one vehicle can get through, but an EV9 for $1,000 is easily the hardest of hard passes. I’ve seen EQS580 for less.
Now before someone points out some minute flaw that makes the EQS580 less appealing, idc. A Kia for a thousand a month is an insane hill to die on, coming from someone who is very brand agnostic and was a happy Kia owner for a year.
I was able to get them to ignore the trade in and resend the lease sheet, and I am trying to use the calculator on the site to make sure that everything is lining up, and when I enter in everything into the calculator I am getting a different payment. So I can only assume that they are messing with the Money Factor?
$900 after 5000 on a 55k car? Sounds sus
If you can wait, wait.
Actually it looks correct. $930 was what I was paying for an Ioniq 5 Limited AWD ($59K MSRP minus $7500 and no dealer fee and no add ons) in Florida. It’s because of the high MF (almost 9% APR equivalent) and low RV. Today Hyundai subvents the MF and monthly rates are a $150 lower. At that insane monthly rate I knew I was going to buy out the lease but plans changed when my Rivian arrived early and I sold the Ioniq 5 back to the dealer before the market collapsed on them.
Didn’t change the answer. Still a pass.
They are also adding $800 profit in your registration and tags. Keep that in mind. So you have about $2,500 dealer discount and $1,700 in dealer fees.
Yea, I knew the registration and tag fee looked weird never remember it being that high but I couldn’t find a good source on how much it should be
$899 dealer fee is (sadly) normal in FL
There are FL state stamp (doc) fees (applies only to loans/leases - if you pay cash this is bypassed), tire fee, registration fee ($400)
$1500 in fees for FL is normal 
Reg and tags for a new plate in FL is still nowhere near $1000 though.
There are definitely dealers that charge $1500 in dealer fees, but it’s still a big mark up that negates some of that discount.
Some FL dealers add a doc fee to the registration… I’ve seen $99 to $499
Yes, some dealers use the registration to bury profit in so they can artificially inflate the discount.
