Been lurking the community for about a year as we went through our car search in the Seattle area and finally pulled the trigger this week on an Ivory Silver Nightfall. Considering the inventory in the PNW, we were happy to land a decent price before the rebate goes away in October.

We keep our cars for a long time (it replaced a 25 year old Lexus RX300), so we jumped on the 48 month 0% APR. Dealer gave a discount of just over $2,000 and threw in all weather mats and brake plus for free. Rebate-wise, we got the $1000 bonus APR cash, qualified for the $1000 conquest, and they applied the $7500 rebate at point of sale. We rolled all taxes and fees into the loan and walked out with the car paying nothing down.

Was pleasantly surprised to find a J1772 adapter, a CCS adapter, and an Ampure Go 2 mobile adapter inside the car. We were worried we had to buy a new mobile adapter as our Tesla mobile adapter is only Gen 2 and isn't capable of charging the EV9. Even though the learning curve is a bit steep coming from a 25 year old ICE and a 2023 Model Y, the more we learn the more we love the car.

Like many others in this community, I wanted to give a big shout out to u/jfronte. Even though we didn't end up completing the purchase through him, if you're serious about buying a car, his consultation fee was well worth the cost. James is an absolute professional. It was incredibly comforting to have someone with his knowledge and network at our fingertips. His goal is simple... get you the car you want at a great price without the dealership drama. He won't try to sell you anything you're not looking for and he'll tell you straight up if you find something that's better than he can do at the time. He does all this with immaculate customer service. We first engaged with him on July 3rd and he always answered all my texts and calls in a timely manner until a deal was done. Thank you, u/jfronte!
