    Will it be free shipping since it’s over $35? And will they honor 30-day returns?

      Wait till you get a whole pallet of Hyundais when you only ordered one…

        Or when a brand new “Huynday” appears on your doorstep.

          Sorry, we can’t refund that. Wasn’t Prime. Please contact the seller, qinxihcthiqixhizysqyttizxciic xzihchizizzyq, for further assistance.

    Just wait until you see cars from “brands” like Tisosh, Frauej, and ZXCVBNM

    Fear not—there’s no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.

    Well that’s reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.

    lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender

      Yes, but do you actually get that cheaper price when you walk into the dealership? Or is that just the bait they dangle in front of you to get you there so they can play their pricing games with you?

        Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.

    The list of cities where this is available simply reaffirms the AP’s take on dateline cities. It’s a useful list for geography buffs but incompetent at suggesting the scale of operations for anyone else.

      I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.

    They will probably ship each one in a giant container-shaped box.
