A v6 Durango shouldn't have a ADM on it either.... and I have 1 as a daily. The Palisade to me wasn't that much nicer than the v6 Durango and was more tank like in feeling and Murphy but that's another story.Hyundai makes great cars. Far better than the average Dodge. A Palisade is MUCH nicer than a V6 Durango for example.
You're right that they rank high in the J.D Powers surveys and they back it up with their warranty. Kia makes some nice stuff too.Last week completed 20 hours of round trip driving in my dad's Palisade. That thing is super luxurious. It was the most comfortable I've been making that trip, it was never lacking for pep, and we made the trip in record time. There's a reason Hyundai/Kia has been near the top in JD Power for the like the last decade. ADM on some of their models really shouldn't be a surprise (although that's the reason dad went to a Palisade instead of a Telluride).
Additional Dealer MarkupOk, ADM?
I've done 200k miles on my elantra GT, and it's been completely trouble free. The 6-speed auto, and that 2.0 liter engine have been rock solid. Gets almost 40MPG, and it's got 160HP. Enough for a standard daily. I replaced the plugs and accessory belt at 100k. Normal oil changes, tires, and brake pads when needed. Literally nothing has broken on that thing, and I bought it used with 20k miles for only $15k. Leather heated seats, carplay, etc. I still can't believe how reliable this car has been and the features it came with for only $15k.You're right that they rank high in the J.D Powers surveys and they back it up with their warranty.

Palisades and Tellurides (same car) are 10K over MSRP in Las Vegas right now. People lining up for them at that price. They are f***ed when the market revises back.Heard a radio commercial from a local Hyundai dealer advertising no ADM on new cars...... ADMs on Hyundais??????......sad market for new vehicles.
No more than any other car that people paid over MSRP.Palisades and Tellurides (same car) are 10K over MSRP in Las Vegas right now. People lining up for them at that price. They are f***ed when the market revises back.

Not really, the depreciation line on Hyundai and Kia are much steeper than Toyota, among others. Someone that did 100% financing including taxes and a 10K ADM (which a large percentage of car buyers do) cannot make payments fast enough to stay ahead of the depreciation in a normal market. They are getting a little reprieve right now, but when the car values go off a cliff they are toast. More so than most.No more than any other car that people paid over MSRP.
You're assuming the market ever corrects back. This inflation is only going to get worse, which means things like houses, vehicles, etc will continue to rise in value.Palisades and Tellurides (same car) are 10K over MSRP in Las Vegas right now.

Naa, you're underestimating Hyundai and Kia. Both are in high demand. Supply and demand determines pricing.Not really, the depreciation line on Hyundai and Kia are much steeper than Toyota, among others.

Nothing rises forever. There is a thing called revision to the mean. Prices always stabilize back to the mean. Houses, gas, cars, microchips, everything actually. It will happen, and when it does people who over paid for a lesser car are in deep s**t.You're assuming the market ever corrects back.
