2023 Ceramic Silver GT-line with sun and sound
MSRP + $1800 "VIP Package" - ceramic tint, clear bra on some spots (door handles, etc). Dealer wouldn't budge on this
I ended up going to Dutch Miller in Charlotte. I bought a white/red GT2 AWD. Carolina Kia of High Point had the same exact one, and was offering 3k discount. I told Miller about it, and they undercut that by 1k, plus their's had paint protection package. OTD of 56k (stupid VA sales tax).

The dealer basically begged me to bring in my 2018 base for 1 year before I finally gave in and got the GT2. Evidently there is a premium on low mileage used vehicles right now. My car payment is stupid. I wanted the GT2 so bad though.
Considering inflation over the last five is effectively around 20%, it's great you guys scored Stingers for 30-40k back then (especially with the manufacturer lease rebates for buybacks) but they would be over 40k in today's currency pricing power and lack of manufacturer incentives.
I paid full MSRP no markup for a 2023 GT2 RWD and don't feel bad at all. I didn't have the money in 2018-2020 and could finally afford on this past year.

I'm the opposite. In 2019 we bought a house, so I wanted to keep it under 40k. If I was in the market these days I wouldn't have been able to comfortably afford a new gt. I'd either have to buy used, which I didn't wanna do or a gt-line car, which I definitely wasn't gonna do.
$34,890 for a used 2021 GT RWD with just over 18,000 miles. Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure the previous owner lived 5 houses down from me. It was always in the garage and I only saw it in the driveway when it was being washed. I'd noticed how much I liked the subtle touch the black spoiler added to the looks as I hadn't seen one with it before. They moved out 2 months ago so I can't ask if it was theirs.
Really enjoying it so far, that is, when my wife isn't hogging it.

2023 GT-Line Apex Package, Snow Pearl White + Red interior, 12k miles. $34k +TT&L. Found previous owner's sale receipt in the glove compartment. She paid full MSRP at $43k + TT&L, totaling over $45k. She owned it for less than 4 months, and judging by how much I paid, she probably lost some $13k trading it in, maybe more. Why someone would do that just boggles my mind. Then again, I'm glad there are folks that are willing to take a whooping on the initial depreciation, so us cheapskates can get our deals on previously-farted-in late model cars.
FWIW, the two Stingers cost me less than what some folks paid for one.
