oldbob

Could you indicate which NY dealership? Thanks

ilcarbuyr

Just got a 2011 black Sonata SE w/o Nav with tax,title, fees for 24300. After reading a bunch of threads I think I might of over paid slightly. I bought out of town bc my tax was 6.25%, which would of been more at my local dealer of 8.25%. Any thoughts..

bluep

DOSNT SOUND TO BAD ITS A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY,I HAVE A SE WITH NAV AND THE TURBO AND I LOVE IT ,I PAID 26100 HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I DO GOOD LUCK.

Live across the street from Coconut Creek Hyundai and they seem to be doing a brisk business with their cars...we've already bought an Accent there a few years back & will probably buy an Elantra from there next year to...great service department also!!

I thought the sales tax is based on where you live and where the car will be registered-not where you purchased it.

I purchased a brand new Black Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0 w/o Nav with HomeLink/Ipod Cable/Carpet Floor Mats for $21900 + TTL

The dealer was Hyundai of Kirkland here in WA State.

Just bought my Sonata today, Camel Pearl with Camel leather, 2.0 Turbo and Navigation package. The usual were added (wheel locks, carpet mats, ipod cable, cargo net, cargo mat). sticker/msrp with destination was just over 30,400, i paid 26877 plus ttl. I think I got a good deal at this price. Another dealer was pushing me for 25800 for the Red limited 2.0T without Nav, so to get Nav and the color I wanted for the extra $800, definitely worth it for me.

I went to Sterling McCall Hyundai in Houston (south on 59) and would recommend them again to anyone, great experience there. If anyones in the market, PM me and I can recommend a sales guy to work with.

Can someone who bought in NY (5 boroughs) and got a good deal chime in with dealer info? I would greatly appreciate it!

ancestor

I got as Hyundai Sonata 2011 Limited with Navigation, Sunroof, Rear camera, Homelink, all the other things to say fully loaded for 25367 + Taxes + Registration.

Is it a good deal?

uiuchsu

Recently I am looking for sonata SE base model without Navi and Sunroof. I quoted some dealers near Chicago area. The lowest price I can get is $21200 plus TTL. Others are in the range $21400~21700. How about the price? any input?

Thanks.

netrisca

Can someone chime in with a good NY (5 boroughs) deal? THANKS! I need a good dealership

snowallergy

It is. I should add if you're buying in state but in a diff county, taxes could vary. His example seems like a big drop in taxes. I purchased a vehicle out of state for use there. But it was tagged in Fl. I paid taxes based on my resident Fl county.

skypilot5

That sounds like a very good price, is it possible to list all the features and options you got?

Thanks

sankarkumar

I got the same config last month for $21900 + TTL with Homelink/Carpets/Ipod Cable. So I think it is a very good deal.

Gerald Hyundai, North Aurora IL. Test drove a Sonata 2.4 LTD, no NAV. I had a quote from another dealer via email for $22,589, before TTL. Salesman & manager at Gartner said they would meet it. REPEATEDLY said they would meet it. Called the next day to say I was ready to put money down, & just before I left for the dealership the salesperson calls me and said they couldn't do it. He said the red (which I had indicated i wanted) now commanded a $600 premium. So (on the phone) I said I'd take the blue I had test driven. He said he'd need to talk to the manager & would call me back. When he did, he said they couldn't meet my price, that there was too much of an inventory crunch. How there was such a dramatic change between Friday & Saturday I have no idea. Called the other dealership, gave them a $500 charge (refundable) & they said they will locate the car I want for the price they gave me. I sure hope so, & will post what happens.

I wanted to go with Gartner because they include a lifetime powertrain warranty, which was a nice plus. But to assure me of a price & then back out is tacky. I will admit they never actually wrote the price down for me, but they did retain a copy of the email i had from the other dealer & insisted it was no problem to meet that price.

backy

What it looks like to me is between Friday and Saturday, they met their sales target for the month. Less incentive for them to deal. Just a guess.

Personally I would not do business with a dealership that did not honor their word. If this is a hint as to how they treat their customers...

zoom08

looking to purchase car in 2 weeks.
I want a red sonata SE with no options.
I will take the car as is, any good deals anyone knows about.
i am taking suggestions, thank you.
as for pricing does anyone think i have a chance at getting the car below invoice price?

alookman

Target selling price for SE without options should be 21k and even 20.5k is doable. BTW factory to dealer incentives that are being kept hush by dealers are in range of 2k-2500 range, and varies each month.

Use Amex car buying service or Costco's to get good a deal. Seems like MD dealers offer best deals on any brand using Amex so use the zip codes in MD, DC or VA area. Watch out for document fee, it should be no more than 150 but often runs 399 plus and I would not pay that much and its often negotiable.

Best time to buy is the last few days of month, especially a slow month!

hyundai_ay

What is a reasonable amount % expect a dealer to discount from list?

I felt 10% would be no problem (monthly payment $333 down to $300). At the first dealer it did not seem to go over well.

Any suggestions on where to start.

I only am looking for a manual GL no bells and whistles.

Picked up a Silver 2.0T SE without navigation but with autodimming mirror, carpet floor mats, mud guards, and cargo net over the weekend:

MSRP: $25,580
Listed Transaction Price: $24,455
Trade-in: $6,069 (2002 Honda Odyssey EX, 132,916 miles)
Net Price: $18,386 plus TT&L and $279 doc fee.

Financed everything at 0.9% APR for 36 months. This was in Nashville, Tennessee.

Keep in mind the dealer inflated the trade-in value in order to bring down the price of the Sonata; the Odyssey was probably worth about $5,000 optimistically (realistically closer to $4500-$4800) but if we assume the trade-in was worth $5,000, that meant the net price of the Sonata was $23,386. We didn't care how the dealer structured it as long as they hit the net price we wanted.

Rock bottom price? No. But it was a fairly painless shopping experience and while the other dealers may have been able to beat the price by $200, it would have come back anyway in the form of a higher document fee. Also for some reason Nashville seems to be more expensive than other cities nationally in terms of new car prices.

asksigmund

2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS. Automatic, Harbor Gray, grey interior.

Negotiated car price: $18552
Out the door price: $20447 (including all taxes, fees, etc)

Pretty happy with that, I've got to say.

brian4001

hey asksigmund,

Can you give me a breakdown of the taxes, fees etc and which dealer did you go to?

Thanks

jkwh50a

What was the sticker price ?

asksigmund

Sure. Sticker was, $21,345, I believe.

White Plains Hyundai.

$1144 Taxes (CT taxes)
$170 Registration fee
$75 Processing fee
A couple other doodads in there to bring the final cost to the above figure.

alamak

All,

Just bought my pearl white 2.4l Sonata Limited, no nav for $23.250. Obviously I'm not going to ask people if I got a good deal or not since I already got the car. I'm in the bay area, and this is the best price I got. I think I could have gotten a better deal, but not by much, maybe a couple hundreds more. I had to buy the car since my wife's car just went kaput the last week.

Anyways, my price is $23,250 + TTL. Its for a 2.4l Sonata Limited, no nav. If anyone is trying to get the same car, but could not get a better, let me know, I can call my sales guy and get the same price.

alookman

You did really good, the best would have been 23k. Also thanks for not asking if you did good. That question begs someone to make you feel bad by saying they paid less!

Unless you have the luxury of time the best deal is what you can negotiate at that point in time and that means you did great!

I want 2012 SE so I will wait till Fall!

alamak

yea, I don't have the luxury of time to get the best deal, but given the time, it definitely worked out great. Loving my car every moment. Hope you will get a great deal on urs!!

lolo7

hello shiskababe

can you please share the dealership info in new york from where u purchased ur 2011 Sonata Limited. you got a great deal!

thanks

Several of those fees seem to be way out of line, but overall...

We are VERY happy with this deal!

sunil

Your price (23,250) is about 500-600 better than I see on TrueCar / Edmunds TMV. I am also in the market for either the Limited or "maybe" the Hybrid (have not tried to negotiate a deal yet). Can you tell me what dealer gave you this price, thanks.

daeki

crucialminutia, what dealer did you go to to get this deal? thanks

alamak

@sunil,

i got my car at capitol hyundai. I've got a colleague that is interested in buying the sonata hybrid(base), but the sales guy said supply is limited, and dealers are not giving discounts on that. But I asked for a quote anyways, he quoted me at $26,750 for the base sonata hybrid.

Let me know if you need me to refer you to my sales guy. Experience was great, no hassle. I just showed up, get the paperwork done.

Good luck with your car search

sunil

Thanks @alamak. Capitol Hyundai is very near my house, and this week they have 3 base hybrids in (plus one with premium package which is already sold) - so they may deal. Thanks for letting me know your quote, lets see what I can get...

crucialminutia

We bought at Wayne Auto Mall Hyundai in Wayne, NJ (because the Edmunds online inventory said they had 89 Sonatas in stock there last week), but the pricing was pre-determined (for free) at cars.overstock.com, so I suggest that you just check there for today's best deal.

Searching zip code 07470 at cars.overstock.com, I found 2 dealers in that area who were quoting $2204 below Dealer Invoice for base Sonatas: Wayne Hyundai and Liberty Hyundai.

Good Luck!

abahl

Hi-

I am in that area. Could you please tell me which salesperson you worked with? Did you negotiate online?

kyfdx

You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information.


thanks!

I second this- they work with scam companies (First Extended Service Corp in my experience) and there Service Manager Dale Ozment and General Manager Rick Powell couldn't care less about making customers happy...Stay Away from Bob Dunn in Greensboro NC :mad:

samsamuels

I have been dealing with a local Phoenix, AZ area Hyundai dealer about a 2011 Sonata GLS - Pearl White, camel interior , NO PEP package, but has the Homelink thingy and the auto dimming mirror.

I haggled a bit and was able to get a quote for 22,100 out the door (includes everything, taxes, etc).

I checked true car, but still unsure if this a reasonable deal, good deal, or bad deal. Any feedback at all is appreciated. Thank you!

bimmer328xi

Just FYI, I got the 2011 Sonata GLS, Peral white with camel interior, with Popular Equip Package + Homelink and auto dim mirror last SAT from Corwin Hyundai in MO with 19300 + tax.

crucialminutia

I had great luck using newcars.overstock.com!

(I didn't need Amex-worthy credit, or even pay a membership fee.)

longo2

SamS...sounds like you got a great deal on your new GLS.

What was up with Corwin Hyundai, they have a pile of them sitting there, a special $ale, or what?

Enquiring minds want to know... :shades:

kooitskevin714

Hi Alamak,

Could you email me the name of your sales person? I'm looking to get a 2011 Sonata Limited in Pearl White. Did you have any rebates or incentives?

vikrams

Hi,
Iam looking for sonata limited without nav. I was quoted for $24,200. Your deal seems to be a great deal. Can u please let me know the dealer information. I live in LA.

Thanks much...

coolblue123

$22,777 (true car) + TTL
= 24,300

Got Floor Mats, cargo net, homelink + compass rear view mirror and that plastic protective tape over the rear bumper.
I was happy with the deal. I couldn't get another dealer in the area to budge below $23K.
