Hyundai Azera Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Good luck with your new ride. It is the same color combo that I own. With great pin stripes the color pops.
If you view some of the simple changes that many forum participants have performed, you will get a lot of lot of favorable comments from your friends and neighbors.
Drive carefully!

RE. 461: Congratulation, and welcome to the "family". When you went over the "features" of your new '07, did the dealer inform you of the "dreaded clunk", noisy rear suspension, over inflated tires, delaminating steering wheel and the computer programming they can do for door lock options?

cambrea

The sale price is $25,720 for 07 Limited with Ultimate package. There were additional $1000 rebate applied. Its residual value after 30 months is $16,786.

My out of pocket was $2,000 at the time of delivery, and $258 plus sales tax (x29).

I'm sure that is not bad.

Therefore, I suggested three options to the dealership to sign on the revised lease contract, which 'Deposition Fee($400)' was added and excess mileage charge changed $0.02 per mile.

(Option A): Cash of $500.

(Option : Free Oil Change AND Interior & Exterior Details at every 6 months. AND provide window tint.

(Option C): Free oil change every 6 months & install Hyundai Nuvi 360 navigation.

I'll keep you posted.

P.S. Please understand I am not disclosing dealership name until things get fully resolved.

RE:464
The ball is in your corner. They do not want a "used" car back, that they cannot sell as new.
From what you post, the only existing contract is the one that you and your dealer signed, without a disposition fee, and at the lower extra milage fee. This was the instrument in place upon which you took delivery.
Hang tough!

Party pooper.

dborth

Party pooper? For informing a new purchaser of what is documented in this Forum. Fortunately, I only have the noisy suspension from the passenger rear....at this point in time. If yours is free of all the bugs, mazaltov.

The dealer never mentioned any of the problems noted on this board. And I did not ask. However, I do believe that these issues are genuine and feel for those who are affected by them.

As far as the tires go, they were indeed over-inflated. Since I knew from this forum that this was likely to happen, the first thing I did was to check the pressure. They were all inflated at 36 psi, compared to the recommended 30 psi; I checked them cold as recommended.

I also requested that the auto door lock feature be undone. We weren't comfortable with this feature.

As for the steering wheel, I'm not to worried about the lamination coming off. I am confident this dealer will make it right.

So far, I have not noticed any clunk, or anything out of the ordinary. And we are totally enjoying the car. Best car I have ever owned.

All of my friends are very impressed. One friend has announced to me and co-workers that he is going to buy an Azera.

gamleged

Stopped by a local orange grove store today to buy some OJ, parked in the lot, then realized I was parked next to a white, 2007 Azera Limited!... :surprise:

chilliwack

Just having some fun. If a salesman told you all of that, my bet is he wouldn't sell many cars. "What was that?" Oh that..just the "Dreaded Klunk". You'll get used to it. Hey, check out this sound system! Azlim did say he researched the car thoroughly for months. I do have some front right noise, but will attempt the latest fix per the noisy front susp thread.

thechoson

Hi, was wondering what kind of OTD price I could expect on a 07 Azera SE these days..

And if I can still find an 06, what kinda price could I expect on that?

Thanks!

captvege

After waiting a year, I bought a Venitian Blue 06 Limited with the Premium Package. It was $23,600 +TTT. $24,400 OTD. I think I did well. What do you think? I made sure I did not hear the dreaded klunk. I hope it does not show up later.

captvege

It was $24,300 OTD.

captvege

I got a $23,600 OTD quote yesterday in SC, but chose the Limited instead.

floridabob1

RE: 475
Good choice.
I think that you will enjoy the extra features of the Limited.

tictac3

Purchased from Springfield Hyundai (Springfield, PA 19064) a new '06 SE at the end of January '07. Base car with mats in Aubergine. Here's the particulars:
MSRP: $25,080
INVOICE: $23,186
INCENTIVES: $ 2,500; $386 add'l dealer discount(*)
SELL PRICE: $20,300
PA SALES TAX:$ 1,218
DOC & TAGS: $ 152
OTD: $21,670

(*) Due to the fact that he had to locate the car and had to put 300 miles on it to get it to me

Thinking about buying a Limited with no options. Anyone buy one recently ? how much did you pay.

Jack, I bought my 2006 Limited (ultimate package, ALL the bells and whistles) at Alexandria, Va. Hyundai in late September for an out-the-door price of $26,700, which included all taxes, title fee, etc...)

jack_sprat

The silver with black leather is what I am looking into. Is yours the bright silver or silver frost and how hot do the seats get if parked in the sun

floridabob1

RE: 480
Great price!
I paid almost 5 grand more in Dec. 05.

nj_azera

My 2007 Azera is Bright Silver
as for the leather seats in the sun
I've only had the car since December and it's been very cold here in New Jersey

jaymagic

Ditto, 07 Limited/Ultimate, Bright Silver/Black. Denver here, so no hot weather yet, but I do plan on a full tint package. I made a deal with my dealer (in writing) at purchase, that I could take it to the shop they use for tinting, clear bra's, etc. and have it done for my dealer's cost.

Sides and back included, it will run me only $140 to have it done, with lifetime guarantee and the best non-metallic tint. Metallic, while great, can interfere with your radio by blocking signal. Regular price would be $220.

prosource1

I am looking to buy a new vehicle and understand the significant differences between an Azera and G35x, but just like these two cars. I like the G35x for obvious reasons. I like the Azera because it is a very, very nice car at a bargain basement price. I would like the Ultimate Package, silver with black interior. What kind of price am I looking at. If the price and package were available I just might bite. What price am I looking at.

54gradsteds

Thanks, Bob! Have you seen the April issue of Consumer Reports yet? It sure makes me feel good about our choice of the Azera! It even beats Avalon, and I've had one for 12 years!! (178,000 miles) Phil

54gradsteds

Jay, I would question the statement that a metallic paint might interfere with radio reception. However, I HAVE heard that a metallic paint is hard to match properly. I'd appreciate hearing from someone about the latter statement.

derrelhgreen

He is speaking of metallic window tinting, not metaliic paint.

There is a dealer in Southern California that quoted me $26,995 for a car with an MSRP of $30,545.

A Limited with the Ultimate Package and Powder White Pearl paint.

Never followed through because I didn't have the funds to pay cash.

floridabob1

RE:487
I have had several cars with metallic paint, and the new processes and paint matching computers that most newer shops are using make the matching and painting easy. Usually white and black are the most difficult colors to match and maintain the matching over long periods of time.

cambrea

Update:
The dealership called me and offered $400 check for the disposition fee.
I accepted it.

I also changed mileage to 15K miles per year. Therefore,

- 2007 Azera Limited with Ultimate package
- 30 month, 15K mile/year
- $1,600 out-the-door payment (including tax, title..after royalty rebate & disposition fee reimbursement from dealer)
- $300.78 per month (including 7.75% tax)

gamleged

I've never leased a vehicle, but from the foregoing back-and-forth, it looks like a reasonable compromise to settle the issue.

I wonder if, at the lease's expiration, you like the car enough to consider keeping it, they might come down a bit from the current residual value estimate in hopes of making a sale...

jaymagic

TINT TINT TINT, not paint. Don't know if it's true but the tint vendor/installer is the one who told me that, even though the metallic costs more and I would have gone that way, if he hadn't said what he did.

stcroixboy

Has anyone recently purchased new or a demonstrator? Can you share your negotiated price paid off of MSRP? Not interested in out the door price as taxes, fees, etc differ from state to state. I'm trying to figure if this is a good time to buy, considering our cold weather here in Chicago or to wait until fall. Thanks in advance.

wanna_azzy

I really want a new Azera. I have found a white Limited with Ultimate pkg. By phone the salesman says he will take $3000 to $3500 off MSRP. Is this a good deal? Hopefully he will honor that if the papers are signed. Have the clunk and other suspension problems been fixed? The build date on this one is Nov 06. Any other advice would be appreciated.

gamleged

I'd guestimate that a 2006 Limited with Ultimate pkg should now go for as low as $25,500 OTD. In November of last year, I got a Limited with a Premium pkg for $27,600 OTD (and I paid near the top end, according to what I've read since )...

derrelhgreen

How does one tell the physical location of a poster?

I received a written quote from a "fleet" person located here in Southerna california for the identical same
car (even the color) for $26,995 (MSRP of $30,545) which is exactly $3,550 off, so it would seem
like the verbal quote you received from whomever in whereever is indeed a good one. :surprise:

Send me an email, and I will forward to you this fleet guys' written email that he sent to me.

HTHs

wanna_azzy

Thanks for the reply. BTW, I'm in Iowa.

stcroixboy

With a build date of Nov 06, is this a 2007 model? If so, it sounds like a better deal than I have found so far.

derrelhgreen

With a build day that is that late, I am certain that it is indeed a 2007 model.

Some cars I saw at the dealership were built much earlier than that, and they all were 2007 models.

One way to tell for sure:

Check out the tenth character of the VIN.

If it is a "6" it is a 2006.

If it is a "7" it is a 2007.

Simple enough.

I received a letter today informing that effective Feb 27 FUCCILLO HYUNDAI, Canoga Park, CA is no longer a Hyundai dealership. This is the dealer I leased my '07 Azera from last October. Great deal, great experience. I found their service department a C- on a scale of 1 to 10. Now, why am I posting this? FUCCILLO is a multi-state Hyundai dealer. Here it was exclusive Hyundai, while on the
East coast it is multi-brand. I don't know if the decision here was that of FUCCILLO or Hyundai, but my letter inform me to seek service "elsewhere" until a replacement dealer is appointed in my area.
F.Y.I.

cobrazera

We purchased our 2006 Azera Limited with Premium package and Sunroof wind deflector ( $85 option that is ugly and unneeded ) for $25,300 plus tax and license. The sticker was $29,080. The dealer also included $100/year for five years at the service department. Just add the Ultimate on top of that.

At times I wish I had gotten the Ultimate, but after reading that the seat memory doesn't work unless the car is turned on, I guess I can do without it.

thechoson

Hi, can anyone with experience in the SoCal market buying Azeras tell me how much to expect to pay for a Limited model (with no extra options) in the So Cal market?

That figure beats my best deal in Southern California by six hundred dollars.

I sent emails to almost all of the dealers within a 100 radius of Murrieta and my best reply was for $26,995.

Thanks for the information. :surprise:

jack_sprat

$ 500 Factory rebate ?? What did you buy a 2006 model ?? Theres no factory rebate on 2007 models.

jaymagic

There is a $500 customer loyalty rebate from the factory to prior hyundai owners.

At Gillman Auto I used the internet to get a price on a Limited with Ultimate pack MSRP $30,720 for $28,599 about what Edmunds said is being paid in our area. When we went to pay they offered to knock $2400 off that price if I purchased the extended bumper to bumper warranty for $600 - a net reduction in price of $1800 plus reduced sales tax. We had to go with a balloon financing deal of 30 months which means you pay interest only and still have the full financed amount left to pay off at the end. I called my bank and they said this was a common promotion and to go for it - then come in in two weeks and pay it off as the dealer guy said there was no prepayment penalty. So we made one payment of $100 (due April 1) which reduces the good deal a little more. Will let you know how this works out as it is supposed to be a Hyundai and not a dealer promotion. I think this will work out for the good.

The bad is the salesperson ignorance - a common Hyundai complaint on these threads. I sent the cutie sales persons a copy of a forum post where a guy tried to get the Limp Home code and called his dealer staff a bunch of idiots when they said the 07 did not have that feature. I said I wanted to give them a heads up so they could have that code for me when I came in. I am sure they did not even read my email as I still don't have the code - they had no idea what I was talking about. They sent the service guy to download the code but when we left he was still working on it. The plot thickens.

The lady salesperson had to call over a guy salesperson to show us how all the gadgets worked and I guess gadgets are kind of a guy thing. I asked what the engine break in period and the recommended driving scenario was. She said she did not think there was a break in period. Well, I bought my last car in 01 so that made me old fashioned. I took it easy and varied the speed on the way home anyway but they told be to leave the car running while he demonstrated the gadgets. Took about 10 minutes.

Break in is on page 1-3 (55 mph max for the first 1200 miles and max 3 minute idle) and Limp Home is on page 1-6 of the owners manual which they obviously had never opened. I scanned the pages and emailed them last night. I requested they email me the key sequence for Limp Home. Since they are all I have - I will have to do business with them or go to the known crooked dealer in San Antonio - I suggested they were simply lazy and disinterested in their customers.

The service guy was very nice and actually called me this morning with the information I needed while I was writing this post. He admitted this was the first he had heard of the Limp Home but assured me everyone would now know. I specify the 4 digit code and next time the car is in for service they will download it to the car.
