First time buying a car since I was teenager with my parents help. Want to make sure the numbers look right. Been looking around the forum for an idea

With $7k trade in and $525 trade tax credit, the out the door price is $32,968. Buying in Tampa, FL. Does this seem about right? Anyone get a dealership to go any lower?

I plan on putting $20k down and the dealership is offering 48 mo 0% apr APR for $276.87/mo

Went to dealership today to look at the hybrid sportage and was told the only 2026 car models with ambient lighting are the niro, Telluride, and higher trims of the seltos. I only saw the ex hybrid today and wanted to see if maybe she was mistaken. No ambient lighting seems like an interior setback with how popular it has become.

Update: thank you! I now know the highest trim has it. I wish they'd give the option in lower trims like the X-Line as the ambient lighting is the only feature the sx has that I like that the EX doesn't. I'll be looking into aftermarket lights :)
