How's the buying process these days?

I'm looking at getting a new car in the next little while. I haven't bought a car since 2015. I recall during covid hearing about all the car dealerships bumping up prices and people waiting months/years for a vehicle. Is all that still happening?

I'm looking at the Ioniq 9.

Do dealers still offer discounts to get cars off the lot?

I'm aware the federal and Ontario rebates are gone. Any other benefits available?

Is it still the case to wait for the car or is stock available?

Just trying to get a lay of the land so any feedback is appreciated.
