I get that the FL5 is better looking (in some people's opinion) but for it almost being identical to an FK8 chasis and performance wise, I do hope that people understand for 20K over an already 44K car, could get you a used FK8 with 20K for mods or a used FK8 and 20K for a daily? like thats WILD to me, youre buying an FL5 with a new Kia at MSRP on top LOL WILD TIMES

The fallacy with the initial price of entry argument is that it doesn't do anything to articulate the total cost of ownership. If the average ADM is an indicator of future values (and normally it is at least in the short term) you can pay a few grand over and still potentially drive this car for free for a couple years. That's the value proposition I am most interested in.
Leasehackr has a calculator on their website where you can also input how long you plan to own the car, and what you think resale value would be at that point. Then the calculator will show you your effective monthly cost rather than just your monthly payment.

I just purchased a boost blue in Georgia. $56k out the door.

I know I know.. most of us talked about not paying a dime more but I just could not walk away and losing the chance to own one, possibly for a very long time. Anyway you look at it most dealers either have a list of buyers for msrp or have the huge adm or both. So for me since I was right in front of it and markup was not so big I thought that was my only shot. I was also first inline for it here.

I do agree that paying markup sucks but when you do drive the car you forget about it.. lol

Boost blue does look good in person.

This is true once you drive the car you forget about the adm 😆

Im currently trying to negotiate one for $60k out the door but the dealer is stuck at $63k. I know $3k isnt a huge difference in the grand scheme of things but fuck this dealer for not wanting to budge lol.

Haha. The car is gorgeous in person. It was hard to walkaway for the time being but I can tell they want to make a deal because they're in constant talks with me.

I talked mine down from 64 to 60. You can get it for 60. I wouldn’t go over.
Well thats the thing I've already talked it down some. they originally werent budging from thier $15k adm plus like $6-7k in accessories. I know the accessories are just another form of markup to inflate thier price. But yeah I am playing chicken with their $63k offer. I told them I dont want to pay over $60k. We'll see how this ends.
