Ended up going ahead with a 4xe. Was happy to get 10% discount on this one, took a lot of working on in the last few weeks. For whatever reason this dealership was trying so hard to get me into an Ally lease, but went with CCAP by the end of it. I traded in a 2022 Kia Niro EV for it.
Also shout-out to the inept finance guy, who needed me to show him what numbers to put in what boxes to get this all to work right. Ended up at the dealership and extra hour and a half because he was clueless.
MSRP: 64450
Sales Price: 58000
Rebates: 10000
Trade equity: 2175
Monthly: 450
DAS: 1st month
Term: 24 month/10k per year
They messed up the numbers repeatedly, and every time they came back with “corrections” they tried to switch the bank to Ally. We spent an over an hour agreeing on numbers, after we had already had the entire deal ironed out over text, all because the stupid bank switching. Honestly a pretty shady sales tactic, I probably won’t do business with them again.
You are lucky that you found F&I humble enough to realize s/he doesn’t know and accepting your feedback. Usually F&I creatures suffers from high hubris, unable to listen. They are programmed to push garbage add-ons.
Sort of, he didn’t want to accept that he was screwing stuff up, but I would proceed with signing anything until he fixed it. He kept trying to tell me the deal was through Stellantis Financial, it was not. He also kept pushing that my monthly should have been like $650 because “that’s what the computer is calculating”. Nevermind the printed out lease offers in front of him matching exactly what I had punched into the calculator.
Well done. Got the same exact car in Florida last week. Mine was 59.5k but I had 12.5K in discount so pretty close. I also have the Florida Fee Factor which jacked my payment.
