You should test drive a Camry if only to make sure you don't think later, "Maybe I should have driven a Camry...". But a Camry will cost considerably more, especially when you add on the optional stability control.
2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS
5-speed manual transmission
Taxes: $300
Destination charge: $695
Title: $720 (can't remember for sure)
Rebate 1: $2000 national rebate
Rebate 2: $500 Hyundai loyalty cash
Out the door price: $16,000
I'm expecting a 2009 Camry LE to cost about $3000 more. I would get a Camry CE 5-speed manual, but it doesn't include keyless entry for some reason.
The Camry CE stick will also probably not include ESC, an important safety feature, or XM radio.
As I understand it, title fees within any given state are the same for any car being registered. It just seems unlikely that your state, whichever it is, would charge a $720 title fee on a used car worth $2,000 and charge the same on a brand new car.
That would be one helluva title fee, much more than a 10% sales tax on the $2K used car.
This was the one they had ordered for us with a $500 deposit so feels good to have a car built for you. Did have some drama during the final pricing, but we got it for 24100
(might have got for $100 less but it was already a couple of hours and my 2 year old was getting hungry , sleepy cranky).
This is a V6 Limited, w/ Navigation and Bluetooth, cargo net and floor mats:
Price (after 2K rebate): $24100
We are getting the rear parking sensor installed for $699 (wife wants it).
Thanks to "nphpd" and others for your tips else we might have bought the car for Inv + $300 !
california price for 09 Sonata GLS - no options (mats included)
"MSRP" : $20,085
Discounts: $1,836 ( "dealer rebate"), and $2000 (factory rebate)
Apart from the standard extended warranty, clearcoat, scotchguard, underbody coating, here is scheme tht was tried. This was new to me.
They tried to rip me off with $405 for "prevent a theft" option. On further asking what it was, was told it was a mandatory safety feature. On further digging: the VIN was etched into the glass. On refusing to pay that, dealer generously chose to charge us only their cost: $299 ( What the heck $299 for etching the glass with a set of alpanumerical string !!). After threatening to walk out a couple of times the "prevent-a-theft" charge was removed from the offer.
Glad to see that others have been able to land better deals. This was the best I could do here. Add 10% (license and registration fees) on top of the above cost to get the out of the door price.
Cheers !
I think this car doesn't seem to be selling well because I may have test driven the exact same one when I was just looking around about a month or so ago. It's the only manual transmission Sonata on the lot, so I'm not sure if that gives ME the bargaining power or the dealership because it's such a rare breed. I would much rather drive the manual transmission car, but want to make sure I can use that to my advantage regarding pricing.
I did get offered $10,500 for the car on Friday from another Hyundai dealership with what appears to be a REALLY good deal on the new 2009. I should know in a day or so if this deal is going to happen.
I'm just waiting for the bait and switch at the last minute.
MSRP $26,150, destination charge $695, mats $90 - Total $26935.
I noticed that somebody else mentioned that they paid $24,100 with blue tooth and navigation. Extrapolating for the add-ons, seems like I should expect to deal around $22.5. Thoughts? nphpd - you seem to know this stuff. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
2009 Hyundai Sonata

Slate Blue W/ Gray Interior
Popular Equipment Package
- Power driver seat

- Driver’s lumbar support
- Automatic light control

And don't buy any extra insurance!!
As I had mentioned, this was from the sticker on the car:
MSRP $26,150, destination charge $695, mats $90 - Total $26935.
This would be for northern CA, tax rate is 7.75%. Colors interested in: Natural Khaki or WIllow Gray.
INVOICE: $ 20,147
$15,500 will be ~ $2,600 below invoice (assume $2,000 rebate). I would be happy if I can get at $16,000.
In fact, with less options, (no MG & CN) no dealers here offered me a price (before TTL) close to low $16,000. In fact, one dealer even refused to match the other's offer (close to $17,000). Any suggestion to proceeed? Thanks.
how are you doing.
i am planning on buying 2008 hyundai sonata 4dr limited.
what is the best price that i could get with $3000 rebate.
i want to include the optional package 05 option group( as shown in edmunds.com).
is there any one who bought the limited in danbury, ct.
if so, could you please let me know how much i should expect to pay for out of the door car price.
thank you all.
Regards,
Raju.
how does that seem, i did some searcing and did not see many post from people around chicago.
thanks
I live in Milwaukee WI.
The 2009 Sonata I4 Limited :MSRP 24,734, Invoice 23,171 both prices include freight. After talking to two dealers the best offer so far is 20689+TTL and the tax rate here is 5.5%. In fact that 20689 pricing is supplier pricing that I qualify for and the dealer claims that he can't beat that. I have two othere dealers in the area I have not visited yet so I wonder what is a good price I should press for? If anyone has experience buying a Hyundai in the Milwaukee area I would appreciate to know what type of deal you got. Thanks.
here are details:
16,122.00 Sale Price
$150.00 Doc Fee
$168.00 New License & Title
$15.00 County Tax
$1,692.00
Sales Tax @9.25%
$17,847.00 Total out the door price
is this good?
Manual ? => I guess No.
Sales tax is killer, but that's Chicago.
Thank you for assisting within this forum, i have done my research and i think i have settled on a GLS Auto with Option 2 (no real need for a sunroof)
so if i do my math correct the following is what i should negotiate for the OTD including taxes price:
$18,800 - i4 auto with opt 2
$1,128 - Mich 6% tax
$2,000 - Hyundai Cash Back
$17,928 - OTD price (+title fee)
please let me know if i am on the right track
thanks

Keep in mind that major metropolitan areas with 5 or more Hyundai dealers within a 25 mile radius are probably going to be a lot more competitive in pricing than a market with one or two dealers.
Thanks,
I live in the Detroit / Ann Arbor area and i think there are 5 with in 25 miles of me and 6 or 7 total in the metro area, so it sounds like it should be relatively easy to have them bounce prices off each other and for me to get the vehicle option package and color i want.
As for the rest of the Hyundai community, any dealers any of you can recommend for service/maintenance please let me know.
Cheers

danbury hyundai dealer offered 24,997 out of the door for 2009 v6 limited with all the options except navigation.
do you think this is a good price.
if some one has got a better deal than this in connecticut, newjersey, or newyork
please post the details of the of the dealer and the price you got for.
if any one has bought a 2009 limited v4 with navigation and all the options. please let me know how much you got for and where among connecticut, newjersey, or newyork
Thank you.
I'm in northern Trumbull, CT, about 15 -20 miles from Danbury. Towne is 100 miles from my house. They're off Route 287, so if you take I-84 your milage should be similar. Check their web site and ask for Joe, the guy with the beard in the picture. He should give you a great deal.
Edit: Quick check on Edmuds shows invoice for Limited V6 with only floor mats as option shows: Invoice $23,357. Deduct dealer discount off invoice of $1900 = $21457. Deduct rebate of $2,000 = $19,457. Add doc fee of $189 = $19646. Then add our 6% CT sale tax to the pre-rebate price of $21,457 (CT policy, not the dealer) and title & registration.
You should be out the door for somewhere around $21,000 give or take a couple bucks.
It is a 2009 I4 Automatic Transmission SOnata Limited (no Nav). The email says it is "Limited Sonata with an MSRP for $24,785 that you can purchase for just $18,988. Stock # H447171".
Have no further info (DOc fee or any added fees). But this seems to be a fantastic price for a Limited, isn't it?
Look at my earlier post about buying 2009 V4 Sonata Limited with Nav for 22k OTD in New Jersey. I have included a detailed break down of the cost. I purchased my car from Brad & Benson but I was shopping with Towne and Statesline and sales rep at both dealerships were nice.
And I agree with nhphd, you won't be able to find any 2008 Sonata models in NJ. I tried at least 4 dealers and none of them have it.
I have posted the cost breakdown at http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef040b2/5148
If I were to compare pre tax price, I paid 19,645$ for Sonata Ltd V4 with Nav. Your price of 20,689$ is 1000$ more for a car without Nav. I think you should haggle more.
RJ
Tomorrow is the last day of the month, so if you are ready to buy car, tomorrow is THE day to haggle and get the dream car you want! Good luck everyone!
the dealership claims they have a I-4 Auto SE in the color i would like. What would be a good starting negotiation price for this bad boy?
Thanks
