2025 Lucid Air — dealer lowered price but added accessories back in

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2025 Lucid Air price probably got worse. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2025 Lucid Air numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

I asked about dealer lowered price but added accessories back again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. In Cleveland, insurance quotes flipped a 2025 Lucid Air comparison for me more than the sale price did. That's the part that actually changes the decision. That's the whole play. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.

Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2025 Lucid Air. Going to re-read the worksheet tonight.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If one piece looks too good on the 2025 Lucid Air, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision.

OP here. Still looking, but I'm waiting on inspection notes before I send money on the 2025 Lucid Air. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.
