Owen was absolutely fantastic! He was very straight and honest with me, answered every question I had. I’m a data analyst, so believe me, I had a LOT! No dealership with hours of me has an EV9, so he worked with me to get everything taken care of remotely, and is sending me final papers to sign physically, then the vehicle will be shipped.
Finance manager got me a better rate than I was originally quoted, from $765 to $703, my ideal payment was $700, so I am very happy!
For an MSRP of 77,950, you could have gotten at least $2-3k more off MSRP before incentive. And since you were already shipping the car, you could have expanded your search out farther for only $100-$200 more in shipping costs.
There was a Labor Day special that I think was ~250/mo, but required 840 credit, and about $7500 down and was ONLY for the Light RWD (NOT the Long Range), so about a $20k diff in MSRP.
Like I said, credit was certainly a factor in my deal. I went from a $1000/mo payment on a Tahoe with $150-200/mo gas to $700/mo pmt, and prob $40/mo in electric charging at home.
I looked into several other vehicles (Ariya, Prologue, Blazer) and all numbers I got on them were in the $500-600 range… Again, due to my credit, and Honda wanted $5k down.
So yeah, I’m pretty happy with what I ended up with, and I preferred the 3yr lease, but everyone else the numbers on 3yr were considerably higher. So maybe a 2yr on the EV9 would be considerably less, but I didn’t even qualify for an offer due to my credit.
