Well, I guess you didn't contact Suresky in Goshen, NY like I told you to because if you did you would have found out you could get one for $13,992 as they are running full page ads in our local newspaper EVERY day. And they are STILL giving the $2000 rebate. And another $500 on top of that if you already own a Hyundai. A loyalty credit. You prove what you have and Hyundai gives the loyalty credit.
That would have to be a dealer-supported loyalty credit, not Hyundai, since there is no HMA loyalty rebate on the Elantra right now. Also, Suresky must be subsidizing half of the $2000 rebate they are offering, since the HMA rebate is only $1000. Of course, in the long run it doesn't matter as long as the buyer gets the money!
Car was 14,995 with my trade (a crappy old saturn)
I think I got a fair price, since there are not as many Quick Silver SE's in the lots, as there are the GLS
Bought at Pride Hyundai in Lynn MA
Hyundai Village in Danvers MA lost a sale from me on a similar SE due to their terrible business practices.
Hyundai Villege Danvers Ma last my business also.
How much you got for your trade in. Can you give the breakdown.
Thanks
Well, I found this very hard to believe as they ARE advertising in the newspaper EVERY day. And when I read this yesterday I called up the salesman who took care of me and he said you must have misunderstood as the $2000 rebate comes off the $16,900. And also, they would have knocked the price down to $16000 and then taken off the $2000 if you had gone there in person. Hey....what do I know.... we got 2 for $14000. And evidently you didn't pay attention to them. And they are offering the rebate. I don't know who you spoke to but you didn't speak to the right person. If you had posted Suresky said the price was higher then what I quoted I would have called my salesman up and asked him if true. I know what they are offering as I live local and don't have to call from another state. :P
im new to the forum and doing some car shopping. i need a basic car for commuting and im trying to get the most car for the dollar. the elantra is one of my candidates. i this from Maxon Hyundai-Mazda (in NJ):
"The 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE, MSRP is $17,845, Invoice is $17,297
You can puchase this car for $15,297. Includes $1,500 rebate. . (includes destination)"
is this a good deal? any differences between an 08 and 09?
im paying cash and hoping to get a car by the end of the month.
thanks for reading!
The 2009 Elantra SE will get some minor changes, including a USB/iPod jack and a sport-tuned suspension. However, those features are "late availability", so it's likely there aren't any 2009 SEs at dealers yet with those features--meaning they would be the same as the 2008s, except with a higher price (and lower rebates).
Since you are in NJ, you might check with some other NJ dealers like Towne Hyundai to see if they can beat this deal.
Their present doc. fee is $249 (up from $189 last year). If you don't want window etching tell them up front. They normally add this at a cost of $199.
This is a great dealership and they sell a lot of cars. I heard yesterday that they sold a few more cars in Nov. '08 than they did in Nov. '07. With auto sales for all manufacturers way down, it's unusual to hear of a high volume dealership actually selling more cars.
I'm in CT. After we bought from Towne in Feb. '07, we recommended them to others and know of at least 7 other sales from people in our area.
i just went to the towne website and asked them to beat the 15,300 price.
great to hear that they are a reputable dealer.
it would be nice to have the 'USB/iPod jack and a sport-tuned suspension' but since the base radio plays mp3s its not a big problem. i currently drive a 06 corolla so i dont really have sports-like expectations.
im hoping to get a great deal because of the timing, december being a slow month and car sales being down in general.
does anyone have experience buying from carsdirect.com?
flemington hyundai (initial quote):
MSRP - $18,720.00
their price: $15,246.00
towne hyundai:
their price: $14,624
maxon hyundai:
they were willing to beat towne quote
$14,297, plus 199 window etching fee
so it looks like dealers are pretty flexible and want to get these 08s out the door.
withou tax, title, tags, doc fees (which should be about the same for all the dealers mentioned)
I've been re-looking at used Elantra (and Sonata) prices lately because I decided that while I love the 2000 328Ci I got on Oct. 1, it isn't the best car for where I am right now. So back to the original plan, a gently used Elantra or Sonata (or maybe a Mazda6) with a lot of factory warranty left that I could trade my 328Ci for even-up. The value of just about every kind of car seems to have plunged over the past 3 months, including my 328Ci, but the Elantra and even Sonata prices are at the point where the trade is realistic.
I went to look at a 2007 Elantra GLS with moonroof yesterday, at $9990, with over 3 years of warranty left, but it was sold minutes before I got there. They had a similar GLS on the lot, but no moonroof, priced at $11,300. It was my favorite 2007 Elantra color, Seattle Blue. I asked whether they could let that one go for around $10k, and they said no. Then today the sales rep called me this morning and said the price had been reduced to $9990. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get up there again until the 31st.
She really loves my Civic especially the digital dash and i've found some low mileage used one's that might be a good alternative, though wifey wants only to look at new. Decisions, decisions! The kid gave me an "attitude" earlier about all this and i let her know very plainly that she needs to suck it up and be happy with whatever we buy for her or she can get a bus pass and there are no "close" routes near us. She did a complete 180 after that and has agreed to test drive the list I've laid out for her. Gonna be fun!!!!

With these numbers the interest rate was about 8.88% (according to lease calculator)

I believe it is a good deal and dealer is very nice. (but not manager- he looked upset :mad: ) I want to recommand the dealer if you leave near my area, MD or DC metro area it was fitzmall. I'm so happy with my Elantra
The Sandman :shades:
I think this is an OK deal. This car is base + auto + popular option + trunk net.
I don't like the idea that there is no floor mat, and I have to finance with them for at least 3 month at 8.34% rate.
Is the traction control the only significant feature on the SE that's not on the GLS? Is it worth an extra thousand?
Also, is it true that the 2009's are exactly the same as the 2008's?
I predict when the CR April 2009 Auto Issue comes out next week, the Elantra SE will no longer be CR's "top pick" in its class, due to the "marginal" score it got on the IIHS side impact test. CR doesn't give its top-tier recommendation to cars that don't fare well in crash tests. That test wasn't published when CR made the Elantra SE its top pick for small cars last year. More small cars have ESC standard or widely available now, and most have better crash test scores than the Elantra.

The Elantra may be less exciting than other cars, but it makes up for it in reliability and in safety equipment, Consumer Reports says.
Hyundai now makes some of the most dependable cars on the market, including this one, according to the magazine's data.
The Elantra is a pleasant small sedan with a comfortable ride and low road noise, but it still isn't as agile as a Mazda3 or Honda Civic. The engine booms at high revs but returns good fuel economy at 27 mpg overall. The relatively roomy interior is put together nicely. Controls are simple. It also has more standard safety equipment than some competitors. ESC is standard on the SE trim and, combined with wider tires, makes the car very secure. IIHS offset-crash results for the sedan are good, but side-crash scores are only marginal. Reliability has been well above average. A wagon version called the Touring arrives in early 2009.

I felt like I got a good deal, am I wrong?
PS I am in the boston area
trade/tax title etc basically offset each other exactly.
I believe the trade in on a 08 model used like yours with avg miles is about $10000. So for a new 08 your deal is OK. Worse if your trade is worth a lot more than 1100.
Thought you had a great deal there until I saw it was an 08 instead of 09.

We were "this close" to buying a corollla, but, ultimately, the $2K price gap swayed us to the Elantra. The OTD price for the corolla was 17,900. After test-driving both cars, it is my opinion that the elantra is a less "refined" car, but still a very good one.
