We found a 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL sitting on a California car lot for $13,995, which is under a third of the $45,600 MSRP that Hyundai wants for a new one. We Can’t Find a Catch on the Listing So, what’s wrong with it? Honestly, not much. It shows a clean title, and the […]

I test drove one… They’re really really nice!
Personally, the used market has collapsed, but that’s also sort of a good thing if you’re shopping used.
