We just got two Niro EVs in at our local dealership. The pricing seems a bit high… Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
Yeah, there’s about $5000ish of mystery mark up I can’t quite place (beyond the completely blatant $10,500 mark up). You can literally buy an AWD Kia EV6 for this (Kia of Memphis sells pre-orders for MSRP, which suddenly looks like an awesome deal). Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
No that seems way high, but if they figure they can get it I guess they're gonna do it. At the Maryland dealer where I bought my 2019 Niro they currently have about $3k "Market Value Adjustment" for the EV6 but actually have a little bit knocked off of MSRP for the Niro EVs. https://www.kingautokia.com/searchnew.aspx?FuelType=Electric%20Fuel%20System,Gas%2FElectric%20Hybrid,Plug-In%20Electric%2FGas So come and make a road trip out of it and buy one here and just drive it home - I did that a few times and it made for fun road trips.
This is our local dealer in northwest Arkansas (home of Walmart, since that’s about all we’re known for). They only have two Niro EVs in, no EV6s (at least on this lot). We have a small bubble of EV charging infrastructure here, so we have lots of Teslas, ID.4s, and Mach-Es but not much else. I’m happy to see other EVs coming in, but the sticker price perplexes me.

It is a matter of supply and demand. Because the EV6 is in greater demand than the Niro EV, I'd guess your usurious dealer would mark it up even more.
That's way over priced for a Niro EV. In the Seattle area, they are going for up two to three thousand over MSRP. They want more over MSRP for the Wave then the Wind. If you are not in a hurry, you will be able to get one for a couple of thousand under MSRP pretty soon in the Seattle area.
Name and shame Offer them MSRP and stand point and laugh if they refuse. I will never ever do business with a dealer that tries to to that
Shocking outcome to any of us that have had the joyous experience of visiting a Hyundai/KIA dealership in the most recent years. It's proof that time travel is real. It's still 1985 in KIA land.
