Bought SEL, Now Regretting Not Getting SEL Convenience.
I recently bought a 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid SEL AWD from Key Hyundai in Manchester, CT. I've driven about 1,300 miles so far.
I really like the Tucson Hybrid itself — the way it drives, the comfort, fuel economy, etc. My only issue is that I'm starting to regret not getting the SEL Convenience trim.
I'm now considering contacting the dealer to see if they would let me trade/exchange my SEL for an SEL Convenience, paying the difference.
For those who have been in a similar situation:
- Is this something dealers commonly agree to?
- With ~1,300 miles, how much of a financial hit should I realistically expect?
- Would you even consider doing this, or just keep the SEL?
- What would be a reasonable maximum amount to pay to move from the SEL to SEL Convenience?
- Any tips for negotiating this with the dealer?
I know I should have bought the Convenience in the first place 😅. I'm just trying to figure out whether it's worth fixing the mistake now or living with the SEL.
Would appreciate experiences from anyone who's actually done a similar post-purchase trim upgrade.
