How to make the offer
Walk in with a number, not a hope.
Negotiate the out-the-door price, never the monthly payment. Ask for the total that includes selling price, tax, DMV fees and every product, then compare it to the $37,350 figure above. A payment can be made to look like anything by stretching the term.
Open below your target so you have somewhere to move. On a Hyundai Ioniq 5 at $37,350, opening near $36,230 is credible rather than insulting, and it leaves room to settle in the middle.
Before you sign, get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent shop, run the VIN for open recalls, and read every line of the worksheet. Dealer prep, reconditioning and market adjustment lines are profit, not requirements.

Questions we get
Hyundai Ioniq 5 buying questions, answered straight.

A 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 with about 12,000 miles in clean condition sits near $37,350 on our estimate. Open around $36,230 and treat anything over $39,218 as a deal to walk away from unless the car is unusually well equipped or documented.

It averages about 100 MPG combined, which is the single biggest running cost for most owners. Needs home charging or a reliable local fast charger to make sense
How many miles is too many on a Ioniq 5?
Judge miles against age, not against a round number. We expect roughly 12,000 miles a year, so 2020 examples land near 72,000. A well-documented higher-mileage car often beats a neglected low-mileage one.
Which fees should I refuse on a Ioniq 5?
Pay sales tax, DMV registration and title, the state tire fee and California's capped document fee. Question dealer prep, reconditioning, market adjustments, nitrogen tires, VIN etching and paint sealant — none of those are required to register the car.
