I don’t normally start blog posts with “stop what you’re doing,” but in this case… seriously, stop what you’re doing.
Hyundai just dropped a nationwide lease offer on the new 2026 IONIQ 9 S that is hands down one of the best values I’ve ever seen in the EV space:
➡️ $279/month for 36 months
➡️ $4,999 due at signing
That’s for a full-size, three-row electric SUV with ultra-fast charging, over 300 miles of range, and next-gen tech. At that price, it's not just competitive—it’s disruptive.
And yes, I’ve got them.
Here's What We Have at Homer Skelton Hyundai (as of today):
-
1 IONIQ 9 S (qualifies for the national lease deal)
-
3 SELs (step-up in comfort, styling, and features)
-
1 Performance Limited (top-tier AWD powerhouse)
Why It’s Time to Move — Now
There’s a federal EV tax loophole on leases that allows Hyundai to apply the $7,500 federal tax credit directly to your deal, which is the only reason a payment like this is even possible.
But that goes away when the new federal bill kicks in. When the updated policy takes effect, these lease credits are gone or significantly reduced. Same vehicles, same buyer, way higher payments.
And let’s be honest — EV prices aren’t likely to get better once the credit dries up. If you’re planning to make the switch, this is the window.
Why We Built Express Buying — and Why It’s Working
At Homer Skelton Hyundai, we’ve been quietly building a buying process that makes sense for the way people actually shop now. It’s called Express Buying, and it exists for one reason: people don’t want to buy cars the old way anymore.
Here’s what the data shows:
-
87% of car shoppers say online reviews influence their decision.
-
71% say they’re more likely to buy from a dealership with transparent online pricing.
-
61% say they'd prefer to complete the entire purchase online, including delivery.
-
83% want to start the buying process digitally before ever setting foot in a store.

People want:
-
Upfront pricing
-
A no-pressure process
-
The ability to pick their salesperson
-
Fast, personalized service
And above all? They want control.
That’s what Express Buying is built for.
You can start online, get your payment and trade value, pick your person, and finish at your own pace — in the store, from your couch, or a little of both.
Here's What This All Means in Real Life:
If you're even thinking about an electric vehicle — and you want to avoid haggling, games, or waiting hours at a desk — this is your shot.
We have five IONIQ 9s in stock today.
Only one qualifies for the $279 lease. The rest still benefit from the $7,500 credit, but once the new bill hits, it’s over.
No pressure — just facts.
You can call me. You can text me. Or you can start building your deal online, on your terms, right now.
Final Thought
We don’t mark up EVs. We don’t play pricing games. And we built Express Buying because we listened to what customers were asking for.
If you’re looking for the least stressful way to drive the most exciting EV of the year, this is it.
