Best part -- trying to figure out how to turn *in* my Ioniq 5 to (another, more local) Hyundai dealer. I call SIX TIMES over the course of hours. Nobody answers the phone.
Nobody answers the "general questions" line. Nobody answers the "finance" line. I finally push over to the sales line, where I immediately get an answer. I guess "sales" is the only people working between 9 am and noon at the local Hyundai dealer.
And, of course, Hyundai only accepts turn-ins Monday through Thursday. They will not make an exception for Friday, any time of day. I could come in right when they open at 9:00 a.m., but nope, it's not happening.
The franchise model absolutely sucks and I don't think I ever want to go back to dealing with it again. The dealership system is entirely anti-consumer, which is ridiculous given how much you're spending on a fucking car

All companies should be able to sell cars direct to consumer. My experience with Hyundai when trying to lease a new vehicle post-Ioniq was lazy, annoying, and generally unhelpful.

They would have probably gotten another sale if I could have had a no-BS experience. :\
Elaboration: They sent me some "year / lease end" deals for gas-guzzlers unprompted, so I reached out to let them know I'd actually be interested in an Ioniq 5 or 6 lease instead.
They then, of course, lobbed over a ridiculously high offer, and tried to tell me that all the research I was doing was wrong. Yep. All the brokers, whose deals are all nearly identical (and much better), are working together to gaslight me.
