Quote will have more than $5k added due to inventory shortage.

One customer waiting for the Mercedes EQS EV he had reserved bailed when his dealer notified him he would have to pay a $50,000 dealer mark-up. Mercedes told him there was nothing they could do. He's now driving a Lucid Air. I'm surprised he didn't try shaming the shameless dealership by revealing its name.

 

Yikes $50k is beyond nefarious and doesn't pan out especially since it doesn't fully compare with S class. Yes didn't read that posting yet but further confirmation may prove the particular meth/crack head mentality is not a norm and hopefully not fly especially with corporate follow-up response. Wife currently awaits locked in agreement @ MSRP + options for Bimmer M50 for ~$80k, but skeptically eyeballing how it will stand up to deeper testing feedback and considering adding a deposit on it's German relative MB EQE. What a slippery slope these EV markups are becoming so early on.

 

I had a similar experience.
Capital Hyundai part of the DGDG dealership group is adding $5000 on the MSRP.
I called around and Gilroy Hyundai is charging an additional $7500 for SE and SEL and 10K for top trim level.
Sacramento Hyundai is charging 10 to $12,000 over MSRP
Crazy

Yes the Canadians must be chuckling.

 

I bought my Kona from the San Leandro dealer. They will try to tack extra stuff onto your contract like a theft-tracing system and claim that they can't take it off. That's a lie and absolutely illegal. Exercise caution.

 

Lithia Hyundai in Reno, NV has a $20,000.00 markup on all Ioniq 5 models. I reported them to Nevada Attorney Generals office yesterday to investigate for collusion and price fixing, since they are a large regional dealer chain.
Dont get me wrong, I have a deposit on a 2k marked up I5 SEL AWD. So, not against a little supply and demand adjustment. But, $20k on top of a $46K price is egregious behavior. Greedy at best.

 

How many Ioniq 5s does Lithia Hyundai have in stock and how long have they been there?

 

They have 17 listed I5's, but unsure how long they have been posted online. https://www.lithiahyundaireno.com/new-vehicles/ioniq5/

 

So they have 17 coming and clearly state the mark up. Here are the Stock Numbers and if you want a good laugh...check back in three months to see what has changed.

High Desert Protection Package for $998 is a steal. Don't ask me what it is other than vapor.
