One more note - the car I got is a limited edition with running boards and a few extras, but it does NOT have a sunroof ..
Regards,
Paul
I leave in Northen NJ and this is what I got from the dealer: (2006 Hyundai Tucson GL, automatic, basic version, without accesories)
"I have the vehicle you've requested in-stock...
A 2006 Hyundai Tucson automatic lists at $19,345.00 including destination. Invoice is $18,774.00. You can purchase the car for $500 bellow invoice, and there is $1,000.00 factory rebate."
So after calculation, it looks like this:
MSRP: $19,345.00 (both, dealer and edmunds.com)
$18,774.00 - invoice price, including destination charge $600.00 (but invoice price on edmunds.com is $18,315.00 so seems dealer is adding $459.00 on his invoice price)
- $500 discount
- $1000 factory rebate
which gives $17,274.00
Is this price OK?
The dealer here is offering for V6 4WD Moonroof leather interior and 6 cd changer
Limited: 24301 - 1000rebate + Tax
Is this a good one to go with...please advise
I know that resale value will be lower for the 2006 model, but I do not intend to resale for many years so I don't care about that.
Any thoughts on going with the cheaper 2006 model
Hyundai is also offering a rebate on the 06 now:
GLS V6 and Limited V6 - $1500
GL 4 cyl - $1000
There is also special financing as well on the 06.
I personally would go for the 06 if you are looking to keep the car until the wheels fall off. With the 2007 coming onto the lots, they are more willing to negotiate on their current inventory and you can get the rebate.

I told the FI guy that I wanted it, but no way in hell I was going to pay that. I told him I’d give him $700. He gasped as if I was crazy. Before he could say anything I said “Look I did my homework, we both know you didn’t pay 1500 for that policy. I’m not going over 800. If I don’t buy it here I’ll buy it at another dealership.”
He gave it to me for $800. :shades:
I usually keep my cars for a while so I feel a warranty from the car manufacturer is worth it. In addition is has no deductible and if you choose to sell the car/trade it in, it will help enhance the resale value slightly because it is transferable to the new owner.
Best of luck with you new Tucson. I love mine.
Your 4WD system will still operate normally, when the lock isn't being used.. If the front wheels slip, power will shift to the rear.
I see you posted in the general Hyundai Tuscon discussion, as well.. Someone there will probably chime in with specific details of how your particular system works.

I am in market to looking for new vehicle. I am thinking of 2007 tucson. Do anyone know the buying price in Rhode Island / Mass area. What kind of discounts should I be asking for?
Thanks
When I came home I checked the Tucson and Santa Fe discussions. While there are lots of discussions on the Santa Fe and the Kia Sportage there is almost nothing on the Tucson. Can anyone help?
I'll have my Tucson a year in June and I love it.I purchased the Limited with all the bells and whistles, it is just a great car to drive.
I've talked to a number of owners before and after buying, and they were all pleased with their purchase. As with all vehicles it has its pros and cons.
The major complaints I have heard repeatedly about the Tucson is that the stock tires wear out quickly and that it can be very thirsty in heavy stop and go driving situations. I didn’t feel either one was a deal breaker because 99% of the time stock tires are horrible and any V6 is going to drink gas in very urban stop and go driving conditions. Personally, I feel the gas mileage is on par for this type of vehicle with a V6. I always say if you are really concerned about gas mileage, get a 4cylinder car.
My personal take on the Tucson is as follows:
The Tucson drives wonderfully in all kinds of conditions. I driven in nor’easters and heavy snow and the Tucson preformed great! Side note, I do use dedicated winter tires so that helped a little. The visibility is excellent. It is very easy to maneuver in tight spots. Its lay out is very thoughtful and has a ton of storage compartments. The Back seats flip down easily and provide a perfectly flat loading surface WITHOUT the need of removing the front headrest. I LOVE the wiper deicers, so if you live in a place where you get snow and ice and park outside, get them. I’m also a huge fan of the seat warmers. Its step in height makes it easy for everyone to get in and out of it. Everything works as it should and it did not cost me a fortune to. On top of it all it has a great warrantee.
As far as how quiet the forum is, I like to think it is because no one is having any real major complaints about the vehicle. Furthermore, Santa Fe was just significantly remolded this year and it larger, so more people are attracted to it. The Kia Sportage is also another redesigned so it might have more of a following and if I’m not mistaken, I think it might be a wee cheaper and has a different look than the Tucson.
I did a google search for "Tucson drivers" and found an international community that had a lot of information and opinions. (I’m not sure if I am allowed to give the actual website here.) Give that a try.
Good luck in your decision
I bought my tucson june of 2006, I have a 2006 model gls v6, and I love it, not too small or too big, getting descent mpg, get 20.2 in town and 23.5-24 mpg on highway driving 80 mph+ I have just passed the 12000 mile mark and have no intention of getting rid of it. I am 6 ft tall and fit comfortably on long hauls, very small minor adjustments I would like is 2 more inches of head room, few more inches of leg room, and arm rest little higher, but not a deal breaker for me though, I can also fit comfortably in the rear seat with front seats all the way back, the visability is great iin the tucson, and the manuverablity is great, easy to drive and handle, did good in the snow(2 inches) that I was driving in, the stabliity control works as it should. The tucson does not have that much cargo area if that is a concern, for me it wasn't. anything else just write.
I live in upstate NY. I worked my butt off to even find any, and when I did, the price was essentially the same as the new ones.
After hours of searching, I drove downstate to Nanuet Hyundai and bought an '06 with 20k for $16,000. It's super clean and so far I consider it a very good deal and worth the 3 hr drive each way to save about $4-5,000

See... I can get any new Hyundai at TRUE invoice minus 15%. My step-dad works at HMMA (where they build the Sonanta and the Santa Fe) and I can get his pricing (HMMA Team Member Purchase Program.) I was considering a Santa Fe GLS, AWD, 5 spd but decided I liked the Tucson SE, 4WD better.
Even though they know I can't buy from them (have to take delivery in Montgomery, AL) they have allowed me to test drive two different Tucsons and one Santa Fe on two differrent days. Without any problems. Out of respect for them I did ask if I could drive them and had the sales man assure me he wasn't going to miss anything (both times I went around 7P. In the beginning of the week. The lot was deserted except for me!)
In case ya'll are wondering.... price for me will be:
'07, SE, 4WD, no options: $18499 (includes destination charge.) Will not have to pay sales tax in AL, only in NC. NC sales tax is 3% = $554.97. Also: the dealership in Mongtomery can't add anything to the vehicle unless I agree to it... before I get there. HMMA generates (for lack of a better term) a purchase order with my name on it. It details what I want and what I want on it. It details the price. Any dealer add-ons have to be negotiated ahead of time. No over-priced pinstriping, no etching, no paint/interior 'protectant', no ADVERTISING FEES! If it was on the vehicle ahead of time... oh well. Thanks! I am trying to get HMMA to tell me if I can get the rebates. That would be sweet: $1500 (as of 07/19/07) rebate on top of great price!
2007 Hyundai Tucson FWD Automatic, Platinum Color with Premium Package:
$17,252
This, of course, does not include TTL, but includes the current incentives. I planned to pay cash, but if I finance it through Hyundai Financial, the price drops to $16,752.
Any comments on the price?
Thanks.

Due to Step Father working at HMMA in Montgomery, AL was able to use Hyundai Associate Purchase Program (invoice minus ad fee ($150 in SE NC), minus shipping, minus 2% MSRP [w/shipping], minus applicable rebates, plus shipping.) It felt like buying a Saturn. No haggling no "let me see what we can do" or "we aren't making any money on this deal" (they still get holdback and any factory-dealer incentives.) It was great not having to go through the stupid four square and other games.
They even worked with me on my trade ('03 Chevy Tracker base 4dr, 4X4, w/all options available in '03 except V6.) Average trade-in (based on Edmunds, KBB, NADA) was about $7200. Actual market trade-in (got quotes from several new and used dealers in town) was hitting about $6500.
A tip that I have found to work somewhat in my favor: when the salesman/woman leaves you to go to the sales manager:
1st: make sure you have your car keys and license.
2nd: follow him/her to the "tower of power" it's harder for them to work their 'magic' when you are standing right there, questioning everything they do and looking over their shoulder. They don't like it. If they ask you to leave and wait at their desk siimply ask them what they have to hide? If they can't answer then leave. If possible try not to let them appraise your trade w/out you being there. They can come back and say that "it drove funny" or somethiing like that and may have never even cranked the car up.
3rd: question the invoice they show you. Make sure it is for the vehicle you want and that everything matches up.
Finally, check with your family and friends. Find out if any of them have some sort of connection to HMA (Hyundai Motors America) be it directly or indirectly (finance partners, suppliers, advertising, etc) if you have friends or family like this you can participate in the HAPP too.
Hyundai Associate Purchase Program
Be careful of the internet prices that are really low. They may include rebates that you do not qualify for. Also, all rebates that were in effect last month are still in effect. Nothing new, yet.
Our out the door price was $18,600
This included 7% NJ tax, tags and fees
$1000 Hyundai rebate
$500 loyalty rebate
$2900 for our 10 year old car
Was this a good price? We are very happy with the Tuscon.
Most people, myself included, use the "trade-in" value. Most dealerships use the black book and crony method of appraising your trade. They have access to weekly auction results across the region and country. These results compile every bit of info you can think of. They will also call other dealers around and ask what they would pay... They go with the lower price. I have never, ever received the KBB trade-in (it's always too high.) I have usually gotten within range of the Edmond's trade-in value (usually on the low range.)

I have a 2006 Leftover Nordic White Tucson V6 FWD(brand new with 200 miles)for $17,500 plus TT&L as a final offer. Is this a good price? MSRP is around $21,830, and it has roof rack crossbars, carpeted matts, and cargo tray as only option. I think I could do better by another $1,000...I know there are no incentives or rebates out for leftover '06, but with new '08s arriving soon, can i get a better deal?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

(rebated and destination fee included).
Is this a good price in Dallas area ?
Thanks
Everything about the Tucson seems appropriate for my needs, but when I read the problems with the batteries, etc. and the lack of Hyundai's solving them, I'm put off.
Has this lack of reliable customer service been corrected; my experience with Dodge over 10 years has been dreadful based on our minivan ... ex: 4 AC compressors, a evaporator, and the AC fan replaced... and the list goes on.
What are your recent experiences for the Tucson 2008 model 2.7 v6 AT?
If today Hyundai has better quality control in manufacturing and customer service, where are you finding the lowest prices for the 2008 2.7 v6 Tucson Front wheel drive?
$20,864
$1,461.81 tax
$354.00 title and reg
$289.00 doc fee (whatever)
$19.00 credit inquiry
$7.50 tire tax
$22,995 OTD
ZERO percent finance for 72 months (cant be beat!!)
plus a portable navigation unit
I purchased at Global Auto Mall in N Plainfield, NJ and had a great experience there. The people were fantastic through the whole process.
I know the Tucson is not as popular as the Santa Fe, but it is really fun to drive, I love the V6 and the height plus all the safety features.
I hope the MPG improves. I expected 22-23 for my mixed driving, but so far I am getting 19.4.
