Well, Tuesday is the day, should the dealership follow through with no tricks that we are possibly looking at bringing the Ioniq 5 home. The sales guy hasn't confirmed yet. I'm making him put it in an email that 1) I get the pricing/leasing deal I've been negotiating and 2) there will be no upselling or hidden figures at signing. Of course, upselling will happen during signing, but I just wanted to make it clear that i'm only signing on what I negotiated for

^^^ good luck!

one more feature/observation from my recent test drive... the car has a huge panoramic roof, but a unique powered cover under... unique in that it extends/retracts from both front and back edges and meets in the middle! i thought this was really neat as it means it closes/opens faster than one giant cover moving from one end to the other.

and i still think it's ridiculous that tesla's glass roofs have no cover.

We are tentatively on for Tuesday! He told me to pick a car from inventory, and I picked this one:

Looking at inventory, they have a lot of Ioniq 5's, so it's definitely a Buyers market

Weird that they aren't discounting the Limited trim. At least upfront like the SEL's.

Good luck on Tuesday!

The Limited are in huge demand. I couldn't even negotiate on them. The sales guy said they move quickly

Good luck to you. Is it for the Ioniq 5 Limited? Here dealerships are not negotiating below MSRP on the Limited...only on the SEL AWD

They show 51 Limited available and only 22 SEL's.

The Limited we looked at over a month ago, is still at the dealership. I'm not really surprised, though. It's probably due to their sales tactics and the many Tesla dealerships in the area.

that leasehackr deal wasn't a limited, no.

i'd prefer a limited as there's several things i'd like such as the better audio system, ventilated seats, the trick roof, hud, better lights, rear side sunshades, blind spot monitors in gauge cluster (something i'm in love with on my santa fe), and rain sensing wipers. really surprised some of those like rain sensing wipers aren't available on sel.

Well here Limited is only going for MSRP. If I could get a Limited over an SEL for a similar lease deal, that would be my preference. But the offer on the table is only for the SEL

some odd marketing choices there... No passing on the tax credit with leases for the most expensive trim when they do for other trim levels, limiting many of the incentives to current customers with no obvious conquest incentive and so on.
