2008 GLS, AWD, Premium Package
total total total = $29,000 out the door, not a penny more.
that price included all taxes, tags, plates, blah blah whatever.
drove the car off the lot after 1.5 hours of negotiating.
Included:
- Floor mats ($150?)
- Rear cargo tray ($100?)
- Premium package ($1900?) - leather steering wheel, backup sensors, heated seats, power driver seat, sunroof, etc..
- All Wheel Drive ($1700 more than FWD)
- Free lifetime oil changes
- Tires for life (free tires when naturally worn down)
- Free VA state inspection for life
sorry, i dont know the breakdown for car price vs. taxes/tax/plates etc..
according to hyundai website, MSRP is 30,775.
good deal?
Edmunds shows MSRP to be (w/Des Charge)
$31,470
Invoice Price is:
$29,784
What did you pay before TL&L? Look at your paperwork
Did you pay any extra fees (Doc Fee, Prep, Etc...)
Did you trade a car?
How did you finance the deal?
Anyway . . . I test drove a Vera Cruz Limited FWD this morning, and I really like this vehicle.
The dealer quoted a price of $36,170 (no DVD, no nav system) . . . it has everything else on it.
After some discussion, the dealer took $6,000 off, thus lowering the price to $30,170. Edmunds says that the invoice price on this model is $31,577. It looks as if the dealer is coming in below the invoice price.
However, there are some fees that I don't know anything about.
Etching = $299
Doc Fee = $499.50
Non Tax Fee = $16.50
Are these fees legitimate? The tax on this vehicle is $1,161.32. I don't see anything about a license/tag fee on the preliminary figures sheet.
With the fees quoted above and the taxes added, the total drive away price on this vehicle is $32,146.32.
Is this a good price?
total purchase price including freight/handling/delivery: $27,374 ($2410 below invoice according to above post)
processing fee: 389
3% Title tax: 832
Dealer's business license tax: 55
NVTA 1% fee: 287
License/Title fee: 61
that all totals $29,000
no car trade-in.
financed with 10K down... plan to pay it off within a year or so.
i just didn't want to get ripped off, cuz i dont mind paying fair value, since its a great car.
Based on the information you provided, I think you did pretty good.
Looks like $2021 under invoice. The processing fee is just dealer profit.
Not sure what these are:
Dealer's business license tax: 55
NVTA 1% fee: 287
Your deal looks to be the best 08 GLS deal on this board.
Good work, enjoy your car!
07 GLS - $3700 under invoice
07 Limited - $3500 under invoice.
07 SE - $3000 under invoice.
08 SE - $2,000 under invoice.
08 GLS - $2,021 under invoice.
08 Limited - $3,161 under invoice. A standard deal should be between $2-2.5K under invoice.
Prices include rebates.
Watch out for the extra fees!
Keep posting the good deals.
The best deal posted on a Limited is $3K+ below invoice. You can do better. If you cannot right now, then wait for additional incentives and try again later.
Good Luck.
Keep your trade (if you have one) and financing separate from the car negotiations.
I agree that the doc fee of $499.50 is wayyyyy out of line.
I was told that the etching fee is for the security numbers on the car and that they've already been etched onto the windshield.
I want to know what the non tax fee of $16.50 is. I called the salesperson with my questions, and he's doing some more "research" for me.
Also, I've read that $2000 - $2500 off the invoice price is reasonable. The invoice price on this vehicle is $31,577.
Would it be out of line to ask the dealer to take another $1000 off the $30,469 sale price, as well as the fees?
Any information you can offer is appreciated. I have a month to negotiate, as the lease on my 2004 CTS is ending.
I've enjoyed driving the CTS, but I need cargo room and higher seating, and the Veracruz is a great vehicle for me.
I haven't decided whether to lease or purchase the Veracruz yet. I can go either way as long as I feel I'm getting a good price.
well, in any case, like i mentioned, i'm happy to pay fair price since it's worth it and it's a great car.
also, if anyone's interested. here's a great article comparing 6 different CUV's. Veracruz scored 2nd place, only behind the mazda CX-9. which, i agree with, is nice because of its handling. but the VC is a few thousand cheaper for pretty much the same engine/amenities.

enjoy!
I don't know if this is the sales price without the added fees and taxes or with them. If this is including the fees and taxes, this price is $640 above the other dealer's price.
I responded politely that his price is too high and that I'm willing to negotiate a lower price.
He sent back an e-mail telling me that the price he quoted is his invoice price and that he can't take off any more from the invoice, as that's how he makes his profit.
Very strange . . .
Board members were buying the 07 Limited for $3000 under invoice (in 2007) with no extra fees.
Final quote is..$26891 (after rebate before tax and fees)
It has also got Premium package.
Dealer is not going below this, other dealers has only FWD left.
Is this a good deal?
I need to finalize tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
That price (w/o fees, you must add in the fees they impact your deal ) looks to be about $2800 under invoice, but I could only find a 08 invoice for comparison.
In 2007, people on this board paid $3500 under invoice for a 07 GLS.
I am pretty sure the factory is providing the dealer with incentives to sell these cars.
People are also buying 08 GLSs at $2000 below invoice. If you look at car depreciation information, I think I would rather have a 08 for a few hundred dollars more.
Unless you must buy a car tomorrow, I would try for a lower price and not pay any fees.
Good Luck!
Invoice Price: $29,389
Required License Fee: $220.25
State Sales Tax: $2,674.40
Price: $32,283.65
Rebate: $3,000.00 ($2K from us and $1K from Hyundai)
Total Price: $29,283.65
I can wait few more weeks and try for 2008, but none of the dealer around my area has 08 GLS AWD in stock.
Also 07 GLS should give more milage compared to 08, shouldn't that be a positive factor.
Thanks for your help, please let me know how final price looks.
If you purchased the car, do not pay any extra fees at closing (Doc fee, Ad fee, etc...) Read the contact carefully before you sign!
What is the Required License Fee? Is it a local or state Gov't fee? If not, they need to get rid of it. Most of the time, the word "Fee" means extra money for the dealership. If you are unsure, have the dealership fully explain the fee.
If the dealership is willing to go $3K under invoice, the factory is giving them a lot of back door money.
You have all the information, it is time for you to make a decision. Good Luck!
stain beige color stopped me from buying it.
Will wait for 08 GLS AWD which none of the dealer has right now, not sure why.
2007 GLS AWD
Cloth interior, khaki exterior
Standard XM radio, etc. No premium package.
Price before tax: 25,358.
The dealership was great and I think I got a pretty good deal. This was in NJ.
finally I bought this car for $28783 OTD.
Thanks all for posting your deals.
Thanks.
Yes, I really like the car and am prepared to buy it. $3K below invoice looks like a great deal... maybe I will try for it after all.
I wanted one as well! Thinking about black. :confuse:
I just found this thread. We have done alot of research on the Veracruz and pretty much made decision this is our next vehicle. We have a current lease that does not end til June so we were hoping to wait til like May and make the move. However there is this special finance rate going on with the 07's of 1.9%. We normally lease but just so confused if we should jump on this finance offer and I mean jump as the stock of 07's are disappearing! I found a dealer and they said they could get us the 07 Limited with DVD pkg for $500 below invoice and $1000 rebate with this 1.9% rate. Does this sound good? Should we jump on this with still having our current lease? I do not want that added on my new pmt. Or should we hold out and lease an 08 which we were told would be a 48 mth lease. Yikes! Any help is appreciated.
1) Memory seats
2) Adjustable power pedals
3) Lighted VC door sills
4) 115 volt power outlit
Their may be a few other things, but if you wamt the above in the 07, you will have to get the Ultimate package, which adds the DVD ET system.
Either way, you will love the VC, we have put 11K miles on it, and no problems, best car we ever owned!
Good luck with your purchase.
2007 SE - Premium and leather Package / Entertainment Package / Floor mats.
Sticker with destination - $33,795
Out the door, $28,295, plus 7% sales tax, no fee (That was the last minute fly-in-the-ointment. Never have paid a dealer fee, never will). $5,500 savings.
PLUS, got 5.3% financing.
Of course it took all day, but worth it.
07 GLS - $3700 under invoice
07 Limited - $3500 under invoice.
07 SE - $3000 under invoice.
08 SE - $2,000 under invoice.
08 GLS - $2,021 under invoice.
08 Limited - $3,161 under invoice. A standard deal should be between $2-2.5K under invoice.
Prices include rebates.
Watch out for the extra fees!
Keep posting the good deals.
My question is, Is it really possible and are there dealers out there willing to negotiate this low? Of about $2K under invoice?
IF you have any personal experiences ill be more than happy to read/hear them.
Thx in advance
Player4...
I'm itching to pull the trigger, but waiting till mid March early April to see if Hyundai offers interest/rebates deals on the 08's!
