Hard to know. What was the MSRP? Invoice? Was this a cash purchase? Did you finance and get special finance deal? Did you trade in a car? What did you get for trade?
Based on what I see on boards and in newspapers, seems like that price was a bit high for a no-option Sonata GLS. Pulled today's newspaper ads. One local Hyundai dealer selling "2004 Sonata" for $11,865 but that includes every conceivable discount (military, Hyundai loyalty, college grad). This dealer indictes there is a $2,000 factory rebate and he'll discount the car $2,255 off MSRP. Other local Hyundai dealer also touting the $2,000 rebate plus $1800 dealer discount off MSRP.
Is there any way to confirm when.
I went for my first Sonata test drive this past Saturday after initial mid-week contact through an internet sales site.
I'll be going back tonight to drive the Elantra GT (dealer only had the base model on Saturday) but am leaning very seriously towards the Sonata.
Anyone out there have any idea whether or not I might still be eligible for the rebate since I began looking while the offer was in effect?
Also, if anyone has had any experiences with buying in Austin, I'd appreciate any feedback.
And, if anyone has recent experience with purchasing an LX with package 7, I'd love to find out what you paid.
Thanks!
We are trying to buy hyundai sonata LX with option 6 or 7 with all the options and Doten Hyundai in Richmond is offering the car for 17700 after rebate before tax. Does this sound fine or should we negotiate further? This price is given by the internet dept and it seems they are not ready to negotiate.
Please let me know
thanks
thanks in advance
Could you please give me the phone number for Taryn? Also, if you dont mind, please let me know which car did you buy and how much did you pay? How do you like your car?
thanks in advance

With rebates($2000 and $1000 loyalty), negotiation and paying cash got a base model, 4 cylinder automatic for $12,700. The dealer even threw in a trunk cargo net, first oil change and discounts on parts, service and a car care kit.
Salesman was a young beginner, but was not pushy, although a little "green" on giving information.
So far, pleased with the deal.
I LOVE THE CAR. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. I PAID A TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE OF $16,211. WHAT DID YOU PAY?
ALSO, IF YOU GOT THE LX (LEATHER, POWER SEAT, TEMP CONTRL) AND NO OPTIONS, WHAT DID YOU PAY?
LASTLY, IF YOU GOT THE LX WITH ABS, TRAC CTRL, AND MOONROOF, WHAT DID YOU PAY. PLEASE RESPOND. THANKS.
Does anyone have any opinions on the best prices to pay for a year 2004 Hyundai Sonata GLS no options, an LX no options, and an LX with moonroof and ABS with traction control?
Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Don't buy any car today, esp. a Hyundai, without ABS! The publised test results of Hyundai without ABS haven't been too good. Things like lengthy stoppig distances, lock up, etc. I remember how hard it was in 1999-2000 to find Hyundais with ABS. They were shipping few over and putting them on the most expensive option package.
And likely, Side Curtains and ABS will be standard on the new one. Looking forward to the potent V6 as well!

You'll get a better response if you post without your CAPS LOCK on - it sure makes your message hard to read.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too - a definite nudge in the lower back. I've had passengers comment that they didn't know Hyundai used variable valve timing in the 2.7. One of my friends said I was nuts when I told 'im the 2.7 doesn't have variable valve timing. Life can be sweet.

That's g-g-g-reat!
I heard that 2006 new Sonata comes out in March. Is that worth waiting for or take the great deals being offered now. I have been quoted $1588(plus tax, title etc) for a LX with heated seats.
I see a lot of people saying they are getting deals for several thousand under invoice..any idea if this is true..if so I think I could afford the 2006 even if they bump the pricing for the new design. any idea what the 2006LX might go for
P.S. any and all replies appreciated

Pricing on the 2006 is still up in the air. One thing that you can count on is that there will not be rebates any time soon.
P.S. any and all replies and advices appreciated
I am in the same situation. I want to spend, between my trade in, and any money off on the car I can get, $12,000 in total. At least close.
I would suggest talking with the dealer. If he is unwilling to budge, walk away, even if you like the deal. Chances are, he or she will call you. I think the dealer should be willing to give a little if he or she really wants to sell.
Just my thoughts. Good luck!
