Id guess it has something to do witht he massive amount of buyers in the area and there being a few wholesale places that supply that demand.
Some So.Cal people raved about gettting amazing deals there....and that region also fits the bill.
GLS, 4 cyl. automatic w/ popular equipment pkg, floormats, cargo tray: $16,141 (roughly $17,500 OTD)
Limited 4 cyl. automatic w/ sunroof, floormats, cargo net $19,288 (roughly $20,900 OTD)
OTD prices are rough because she quoted me prices using 9% sales tax and as Michigan residents, we only have to pay 6%. So I recalculated myself the best I could using 6% tax.
These prices seem to be about $850 below invoice.
Thoughts?

When I bought my sonata a couple of weeks ago, it had $2500 rebates on it because Fitzmall added an extra $500 auto show rebate. By the way I never went to that auto show.
I am sure you can $15K for the GLS basic w/ Auto~ if you really negotiate that with the dealer!
Check this out...see how much lower they sell the sonata....
All prices plus tax, tags, freight & $100 dealer processing fee (Not req by law). Prices incl. all applicable rebates. Not all customers will qualify for all applicable rebates. Dealer installed option is additional. See dealer for details. All vehicles subject to prior sale. Some vehicles may be demos.
I highlighted the interesting parts. Freight (i.e. Destination Charge) adds another $675. And it looks like they have included special incentives such as the student and military rebates. Then there's the part about demos. And I wonder which cars have dealer-installed options that aren't removable?
Just proves the old adage to "read the fine print."

f you really want to buy from the dealer you have been talking with, you could use the prices from Fitzmall as a bargaining chip--either print out the screen and bring it in, or ask the sales rep to bring up Fitzmall's Web site and look at their Internet prices.

As for the sale, NO sketchy garbage, NO BS. Maybe I couldv'e gone lower, but I'll take 15,248 for the car with the white (which for some reason is more $$$)
I honestly can't say enough about Towne Hyundai at this moment. I spoke on the phone, went back and forth a few times, but it was never painful. I did pay more than I'd hoped for, but I was hoping for a sick price.
I came, I saw, I bought. Every single person I spoke with was hilarious, and didn't BS me. There weren't mats in the car when I test drove it, and the person who quoted me on the phone said it came with mats. When I mentioned that there were no mats, I received a genuine concern and reassuring, 'you are getting mats, I'll get them now...no worries.....' Like I said, no BS at all.
Plus they matched my credit union's financing....I have never bought a car and only heard horry stories up till this point, but my experience was totally different. I apologize if anyone has had a different experience there or anyone has a bad experience if you use any of this feedback as a component of your decision making process. I'm very happy with the moment...and sad my poor sonata will be out in the cold alone tonight
is the $15,248 include destination charge? If not, i consider higher price.
I live in Ohio, so after Ohio tax, title, processing fee the total came out to $22,413
My car's MSRP with the sunroof option (the only significant offer option) + dealer installed floor mats and cargo net was $25,880.00
I bought mine on January 28. It had $2500.00 in rebates because besides the 2K factory rebate they had an extra 500 auto show rebate. I went with the rebates and not the 1.9% financing. At that time 60 months had 1.9% financed through HMFC, but I got a decent rate from a different bank, and put down 6 grand as a down payment, so for me the $2500 rebate was a better deal than the 1.9% financing.
Yes, Fitzmall does have a couple 08 Sonatas that are 24,745 MSRP sold at high 19K range, but most of the V6 Limited models w/ no sunroof that have the $24,745 MSRP go a little bit above 20K. Models w/ sunroof go around 21K (including the rebates.) I bought my car when their rebates were the best I think. (the same car that I bought for 20,600 is around 20,900 now when the 09s have practically come out)
I was in a similar situation, here in NW Ohio no dealer wanted to go as low as Fitzmall, so I contacted them, took care of the purchase, bought my $68 one way plane ticket, then drove the car home (450 miles). It was a good day :shades:
This was listed awhile back

How I made my decision for Pop 2 package...ENJOY!
To Howard18
The 16950 OTD price for GLS w/popular 2 package w/ the white pearl paint for that price....everything....Originally I was offered GLS Base for that amount. Maybe they could've gone lower, but the BS was non-existant in my mind and I had a good laugh with EVERYONE I spoke with. Considering no other dealer could TOUCH that price when I asked and gave me BS excuses, I was pretty happy. I dunno, I thought 16950 was for the GLS/pop 2/white pearl was pretty darn good. Thoughts Howard?
Thanks to all again for the help!
Thank you all for help!
Stephen
Thx
Thanks, Stephen
For example, if you want an '08 Ltd V6 without a sunroof from Fitzmall, they have one listed on site right now for $18,936 (stock# H369147, Dark Cherry/Black Leather w/ cargo mat and carpeted floor mats, MSRP $25,020).
If you opt for the special financing, just add back the $2000 rebate and you would pay $20,936 Delivered Internet Price plus a $99 processing fee or $21,035 total. Even if that price included a further $500 'auto show rebate' that needed to be added back, your worst case scenario is $21,436 plus $99 or a total cost of $21,535.
Hmmm... higher MSRP car for lower asking price at Fitzmall vs. lower MSRP car for higher asking price at S&S... I know what I'd do...
Hmm... did I do that right? :confuse:

I did buy my car from them a few weeks ago (good experience). I started looking for Sonatas last year in April, and I contacted Fitzmall back then because I had seen a new V6 SE on their website for a really low price. So I called and it turns out that that particular SE was a demo with a few thousand miles on the odo. Still it was listed on their website among the new Sonatas, and their was no indication that it was a demo (probably because technically it had never been titled.)
So I'm wondering that those one or two less expensive V6 Ltd ones on their website are demos. They are like a grand cheaper than most other same model V6 Limited.
I haven't got the car yet, as I'm hoping that maybe as the 09's start getting into lots, Hyundai will increase the incentives. Maybe to $2,500 AND some good financing.
Does anyone know of a dealer that could beat 18k for a 08 SE with auto trans?
Also, does anyone recall what incentives were at year end or maybe when Hyundai rolled out the 2008's?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I live in Northern California. Thanks
At delivery, the 6mi. on the odo matched the purchase info faxed to me eariler, however, when signing the paperwork I noticed a form entitled "Disclosure of Prior Vehicle Use for Dealership or Commercial Purposes and/or Acknowledgment of Disclosure by Dealer of Damage to Motor Vehicle". Uh oh, chalk one up for the negative surprise team...
The explanation offered: dealers must designate at the time of order with manufacturer whether the vehicle use is intended for demo, rental or dealer lease use (as opposed to sold as "new"). If demo, I believe they said in MD the vehicle can have as much as 20k. and still be sold as a demo. My car had been ordered rental or dealer lease use. From what I recall, the rental/lease cars are purchased by Fitz's Rental/Lease division -a separate subsidiary than the new car dealer- then 'rented' to the new car dealer for use as loaner plan vehicles in their service dept. Typically, after a set number of miles, these vehicles are then sold to the dealer's used car division and offered for sale on the used car lot.
Apparently, I was lucky in that the car I wanted and bought was destined to go the rental > loaner > used car route, but I just happened to step in before they had an opportunity to place it in service. Interestingly, the demo/rental/lease description was displayed on the vehicle manufacturer's window sticker. I have bought many, many new vehicles in several states over the past 30+ years and never seen this before. I wonder if it is a disclosure required in MD but not all other states?
To wrap up a long story, one of Fitz dealers had to purchase the vehicle from their rental/lease division before they could sell it to me and the paperwork reflects that. Am I concerned or mad about not knowing this before hand? Not really. As a business owner I understand trying to explain every tiny, little nuance -particularly details that have absolutely no impact on the end result- often serves only to confuse and put off a potential customer. In no way did I receive anything less than I expected, and in every way my questions were addressed in direct, straightforward fashion. In my mind it is a non-issue, although if it allowed them to give me an even higher discount all the better!
Frankly, I am not accustomed to giving high marks to auto dealers but the staff at Fitzgerald Hyundai in Gaithersburg, MD earns my highest A+ accolades for professionalism and friendliness. I'm not surprised to hear you had a positive experience as well. With each and every contact, they went out of their way to provide an non-confrontational purchase and unbeatable price. My only fault found was they did not pre-activate the XM radio service, no biggie. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to return or refer them business.

Where was this 4 weeks ago??? :P
Anyway, sounds like a good time to purchase an excellent value car.
A 4 cyl GLS with A/T and popular equipment pkg would be $14,518 plus $189 dealer fee, registration & sales tax for the buyer's home state.
'08 Santa Fes are $3900 under invoice including rebate and '08 Elantras are $3950 under incl rebate.
Makes me tempted, but the practical side says I don't need a new car now.
These prices are good through March 31.
Anyway I had been looking looking at auto 4 cyl 07 Sonatas back in July and Aug 07 along with last of the year accords. I almost pulled the trigger on an 07 accord SE (auto w/ 4cyl), but like many of you I was being more tempted by the "deal" than actual need. So here I find myself looking at these 08's Sonatas and they are as good as or better deals than back then.
Are 08's done rolling off the line now? When will 09's hit the lots? 09's will have the 5 speed auto available with an improved I4? .. anyone
I really wish Optimas were as easy to track down as the Sonata's with ABS/traction/ESC since they have the 5 speed transmission, I guess it is all about being an import versus the Sonata.
If anyone has a buying experience to come close to Towne or Fitzmall but closer to SW Ohio, please post.
