You got a good deal, and a tremendous car for the money. With a lot of haggling and shopping, you may have got the car for $16,000. That last $500 is the hardest, and causes a lot of stress and ill will. It just isn't worth it to me.
I'm not asking you to be exact in refuting the two articles that said the dealer incentive had been increased to $2K. After all, the articles could have used rounded numbers.
Approximately how much was the incentive in June? Was it about $1995, $1850, $2025 or some other approximate number?
If you choose not to reply we'll understand.
This is what gives car salesmen/business mgrs a bad name, the BS never stops. It's a shame that they just cant be up front...and have to play games. I'm so sick of dealing with these guys. They waste your time, lie to you, try to trick you and then when you get one that is honest..you don't believe him.
Buying a car should be fun and exciting and make you walk away with a good feeling. My feeling right now...is not good.
If the latter, assuming their financing charges are higher and assuming you can pay a extra per month, you can bring the total cost including financing to close to what you were figuring with your own financing.
I'm paying an extra $37+ per month and my 60 month note will be paid off in 50 months if I am able to keep sending the extra $37+ per month. My interest charts/payment figures are at work, but as I recall, I'll save a few hundred in interest.
That might work for you and get you the better up front purchase price.
You're not going to get a significantly better deal regardless of the silly shenanigans, so what does it matter?
If I were you, I would have let him set up the financing, and in a month or 2, call in for a payout on the loan. Don't know what your state's rules are, but you can usually pay out the loan without a penalty.
nonetheless, it's what we see on the street that counts. i received quotes from 6 or 7 dealers via email and followed up with phone calls to each. One dealer in San Jose gave me a quote of $15,700 before TTL. All others were 1-2K above that. They denied the $2K factory to dealer incentive, and told me to walk - they said if I could get $15,7 I'd better take it, politely ended the conversation and never called me back. This had me seriously believing that the $2K incentive was not realistic.
Well, I went to San Jo, was ready to make the deal, and they tacked on $1,500 to the price so I walked. The Sales Mgr stopped me on the way out, made me some pretty good offers, but I still walked. Went to Santana row and was having a coffee when the sales manager called me. We agreed on $15,800 + TTL after $1500 rebate and no other coupon as I did not quality. Doc fee was $45.
Keep in mind, this was June 30 and it was the last '06 GLS 4cyl on the lot. The sales manager did tell me that he had a $1000 dealer incentive on the Sonata, and for all I know, he may have hit a bonus as well. All of the dealers only had 1 or 2 base GLS's on their lots so the pickings are slim.
Got the 06 GLS, V6, moonroof.
Financed 6k and some change.
Love the car
05Vue 5sp with power option pkg, alloy wheels. I want out of the lease although my pymts are 242.00 with 36 months left. Reason I want out of lease is 1)I took 12000 yr and should have done the 15000. I already have over 14000 miles. 2)I have a new job and am able to afford more of a pymt. 3) I want a car as my own. 4) Even though a stick isn't big deal,I really wouldn't mind a automatic. So I set forth to get some payments. First stop Marhofer Saturn Chapel Hill in Akron Ohio where I leased the Vue. Finance manager said he would give me 14000 for my Vue,felt since I only had it a year, it was considered as "excellent". Of course pymts for a new Vue was just to high for me. About a week later I went to Marhofer Hyundai in Green Ohio to see with rebates how much I could get into a Tucson or Sonata.
The price started out for a Tucson GL Auto with roof rack,mud guards with my negative would be 21038.00. I called my bank for interest rate which was 7.25 and pymts for 72 months would be 364.00 I went back to the dealership to see how they came up with 21038.00. Of course I was more confused than before.Salesman said he made a mistake and it would be 21600.00. The dealership had a few 06 Sonatas with moonroofs and low miles about 17???. I asked about those and was told pymnts would be the same.
So in asking questions about the price of the Tucson and Sonata,the salesman said,he called Marhofer Saturn and finance manager no longer works there.So he called him at home,and Guess what? He told them that he never told me 14000 for the Vue. So now the salesman is telling me that my car is worth auction price which is between 10000-12000.He also said that the dealership only makes 564.00 on each car that is sold. I walked out.Even though I tried to figure out the TMV,I guess I just dont understand how to figure the correct way of adding a negative and rebates,incentives...etc.. :confuse:
There's always Google...

Has anyone gotten a better deal?
It looks like I am going to buy the 2007 Sonata Limited. It will not have a sunroof or the 6 CD changer option. I did MOST of the quotes and dealing online. I do not know what the MSRP was. I test drove the 2006 and 2007 LX/Limited. Dealer is trying to find the colors I want as we speak. Some of the car will be financed, I will put some $$$ down. Price I will get:
$19,100
+$600 destination fee
------
$19,700 this does not include TTL. So it is not an OTD price.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd say you paid more than you should, but you bought from one if not the best new Dealers in the area, perhaps in the State?. Service Department is great! If you know that shady Dealer on South US1, they sold me a loaded 2006 LX for the same price!.
Invoice on the 2007 Limited with mats (standard on the '06 LX) is $20,710 including destination and after the $1000 rebate. So the dealer is giving you a pretty good deal on that 2007--about $1000 under invoice after rebate.
One thing to try is to ask them if they will give you at least $2000 under invoice after rebate on the '06 LX. That would make the price before T&L just over $17k. They should be willing to give you a bigger discount on the '06 to clear them out. You might have to accept a color that is not your first choice though. If they won't go $2000 under invoice on the '06 (i.e. you walk out and they don't try to follow you), you could come up some but if I were you I'd shoot for something considerably less than the $1000 under invoice that they are giving you on the '07.
Plus $600 Destination
Plus $740 Dealer fees
Total price with fees before sales tax = $ 19,635
I don't understand your comment, because I paid $ 18,240
:confuse:
The accord LX is a base model. The Sonata LX is the best version they sell, it includes V6, power seats, leather etc.
MSRP $23,495 - The only option was Pear White paint
I paid $18,300 (no dealer fees, tax or title fees)
I did not finance the car.
Has anyone gotten a better deal?"
Yes I did, the bestest version too!. With Sunroof and the 6CD Changer. MSRP $24,895. I paid $18.7K with Tax & Title, or $17.9K without. Since both Kansas & Missouri have State & Local Tax Rates up to 9%, we must assume your deal was a reverse equity trade, (as mine was) and the Dealer just paid your title as part of the Deal. You got a great Deal, of course the details on your trade would be helpful to some!
Thank You,

You may not get a good deal from those dealership who has a lot of 06 left. A good dealership won't have any 06 left now.
The price you were quoted seems quite high...probably about mid-way between MSRP & invoice.
Let me guess, you're looking at Key Hyundai in Bridgeport. If so, they are going to add advertising fee (about $500) and the conveyance fee of $398.50, which will off set the "discount" off MSRP the salesman is offering you. (I think I know who the salesman is, if you're looking at Key.) He tried that routine with me last year and I bought elsewhere after wasting a hour & a half with him. He didn't even want to talk price of the car...just the monthly payment.
I will buy a Hyundai Sonata.
In order to get the $400 graduate rebate:
1. Do i have to borrow from them to get the graduate rebate?
2. What is the min amount I have to borrow? For at least how long?
3. Can I repay the loan early? Is there any penalty and how much?
Thanks a lot!
Can you tell me where you got the information? I checked Hyundaiusa.com but did not find yet.
If I can print the policy and show it to dealers, maybe I can get the rebate without hassle.
Thank you very much!
Rather than take a bunch of figures to the dealer, all you have to do is find some bottom line prices paid and jot them down. All the rebates don't matter beans to the dealer. Dealers think natively in "bottom line-ese". When we made our buy, we wrote down a price representing one of the lowest OTD prices we could find. Then we wrote down a price that was a couple of hundred more, which represented the most we would be willing to pay. He matched the low price. It works every time. If you bring all sorts of papers and figures on this rebate and that rebate, all you get is a headache from haggling, and no better deal. Good luck!
This is my first time to buy a new car.
In order to finace with Hyundai, should I have to buy a "full insurance" for the new car before I sign all documents?
Thank you!
Just buy the car, and go to your insurer within a business day or 2 afterward and you're OK.
As far as insurance is concerned, you will need to have full coverage before you can purchase a car. Talk to a local agent or set something up with geico oor progressive. Once you have a VIN #, they can give you a binder which will work for you.
Thanks
The basic GLS V6 is commonly going for $16,500 plus tax, without hard negotiation. Even at $17,500 the car is a tremendous value. If you're saying $17,500 OTD, jump on it!
First time poster in this forum.
I was looking for a 06 Accord SE and could not get the price below $19,400 so I went to plan B and was offered a price of $17,100 on a 06 Sonata GLS. They are now out of stock on the 06 and now the dealer (Hyundai New Port Richey) is offering me a 2007 Sonanta SE for $18,600 + TTL. The TMV price is $21,367. This sounds like a good deal but there have not been all that many postings on 07 purchases.
Do any of you 'experts' know what the target price is on the 2007 SE? Will I be able to do better as this is the end of the month? Will I loose the $1000 rebate in August? Also, with the Hyundai warranty do I need an extended warranty (I plan to keep the car at least 5 years).
Basically, I am ready to buy and I would some straight advice on how to proceed.
Thanks in avance.
My time frame for buying is within a month. The SE I'm looking at includes the premium package and mud guards & mats.
So far I've checked with two dealers and their OTD quotes are $23,200 and $21,815 for this model with the above features.
The TMV price on this (excluding TTL) is $21,773.
Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. I also plan on paying in full (no financing).
Another thing I was wondering was the lack of of a satellite radio, despite what I'd read elsewhere about Hyundai supposedly including XM on '07 models.
I guess I'll look into aftermarket options for that feature.
