I’m about to contact dealerships here in NY to locate an Ioniq 5 to purchase since my lease ending in August. I’m loving the current incentives and I’m not sure if they’ll be as good next month.

I’ve decided I want a ’26 Limited in teal with black interior. Here in NY participating dealerships get me a $2k NY rebate. This trim and color combo isn’t too common and I’m trying to set my expectations properly. My local dealership can source one but I haven’t talked numbers with them. A dealer about 60 miles away has the exact car I want arriving in about a week. Another dealership has it on the lot.

Given the limited options, is it realistic to even negotiate a dealer discount? I’m thinking it’s MSRP - NY rebate - Hyundai incentives, + TTL for my OTD price. I’d love to get something more off the price but I can’t see what leverage I’d have. If I go out of state or to a non-participating dealership, I’d need at least a $2k dealer discount to offset the loss of NY rebate. That seems like a tall task.

Any input is welcome. Thank you.
