It mentions not only the holdback, but also secret incentives and reductions in dealers' true costs, but does not name them.
I'm just wondering if anyone here actually PAID for the CR service and would be willing to share the "secrets".
Are you associated with a Hyundai dealership? Where did you get the following info:
"Forget that "knocking sound" you read about.
I believe that it was addressed long ago by the factory, and there may even be a TSB on it."
I'd sure like to have Hyundai fix mine!
'Forget that "knocking sound" you read about.

No. I wish I were.
If there is no TSB, there should be one by now, as there have been many people that have had the problem.
Some have even fixed it themselves.
As we grow in numbers and strength, we will go to the dealership with the
'fix' in hand and all printed out as we have learned how the hard way.
Don't laugh at that, as we have done it before over on Freds,' the TDI group.
'Course, there are over 18K active members World-Wide!
Where are you located BTW? :confuse:
To keep my post topic related, I have an email from a greater Los Angeles dealer
who quotes a price of $26,750 for a loaded LTD with an MSRP of $30,545.
Isn't that $3795 below MSRP, or $1626 below invoice?
I hear others speak of even lower quotes. :surprise:
A friend of mine is getting an '07 Azera from the same dealer on April 25. Price is $1500 under invoice plus $1,000 consumer rebate for a total of $2500 under invoice. The car has XM, Ultimate package & floor mats...$25,705 plus doc fee ($189) & TTL.
I never met the salesman. The Sonata was for my brother so he & his wife drove the approx 100 miles to pick up the car on Feb 24. He said there were a "ton" of people there that Saturday to take delivery The salesman told my brother they had sold 70 Sonatas so far in that month, which represented about half of their Hyundai sales.
They were great to do business with, no hidden charges or BS. Just a nice, honest straight forward deal.
Love the car!
An excellent price for sure.
If Edmunds is showing us a correct invoice figure, you bought yours at $3083 below invoice.
That price is $5267 below Maroney.
Now if only I can find a price close to that here in Southern California?
It's $500 lower than you posted a few days before. Was the difference due to more negotiating, a different dealership or some other "special?"
The price of the Hyundai OEM warranty depends upon the state where the car is purchased. FL considers an extended warranty to be an insurance policy and all dealers are required to charge the same fee. I believe that at the time I purchased my Azera, the price was $1118. This fee was filed by Hyundai US Motor Company to the State of Florida Department of Insurance.
I believe that the OEM extended warranty can be purchased for up to one year(?) after original date of delivery, but at an increase in price.
Makes me wish that I still lived in Mahwah, NJ. Maybe I can use their website offers to loosen up the dealers here in Chicago. Or grab a flight to Newark and drive.......I don't think so.
Thanks for the info.
I spent 3 nights with my elderly parents and then drove home (1365 miles). Total cost of my trip, trans to airport, airfare, gas, tolls & one night in motel driving back) was just over $300. If I had just flown down and driven back, I would have had one more night in a motel which would have added about $50 (although I spent more than that while visiting
I had the time, so it was worth it to me to save $1500 (after expenses of trip). Figure all the angles. Maybe it will work, maybe not.
Good luck.
somewhere there under the hood, and it will tell you if the car is fifty state certified.
Almost all new cars sold today are fifty state legal.
The only new car I can think of off hand that is not legally available here is the
2007 Mercedes Benz E-class Bluetec model equipped with the diesel motor.
That car is also not available new in the four copy-cat New England states that foolishly follow the C A R B lead.
However, it is possible to bring in one of these non certified vehicles as a used car,
that being defined as any vehicle having more than 7500 miles.
So in your case, I am sure that if a Azera by chance did not meet our strict emission rules
which I seriously doubt, it would be possible to register it here as a used vehicle.
HTHs
Which model with what equipment and color? Where are you located?
A dealer in the greater Los Angeles area has a used one for $16K.
Check on AutoTrader.com . . There are 128 new 2006s listed.
If you include the new and used 2006s together, more than 700 listed.
True, you can get fully loaded 2007s with all options in the mid to high $26K range.
One of my friends is getting an '07 Azera Limited w/ XM, Ultimate Pkg and floor mats for $25705 + TTL (plus $189 doc fee). Does your $24000 include doc fee? Watch out, that $24K price could easily balloon up several hundred dollars when all dealer fees are added in.
Those are the people standing outside at the dealership who are there just waiting for you and are only to happy to meet you at the curb and even help you out of your current ride. They want a commission, and their commission must be paid by someone, and that person is you.
Talk instead dealing by email or telephone with every dealership within a distance that you would consider to travel to.
If you call, always ask to talk to the Fleet Manager' as he is the person at the dealership that knows exactly what the bottom line will be. Tell this person what you want and ask him what is his best price.
How many dealers are within your area? Have you tried all of them?
There is a website where you can, using different zip codes other than your own, contact five dealers closest to that zip.
If any of those dealerships are interested, they will respond with a fair price.
Your price may be as you have indicated perhaps a few hundred dollars to low? Just keep trying and see if that is so.
Good luck.
My friend is getting the black on black. Towne had to get the car from a nearby dealer, as they only had a couple Azera's on the lot and he didn't care for the colors. His wife can't get off work Wednesday, so I'm driving him the approx 100 miles to get the car. We're leaving from Trumbull, CT. Don't waste your time trying to get a car from the Bridgeport dealer. The salesman there wanted wanted $26,580 (after $2500 rebate) + their doc fee is $398 (vs $189) and, when I bought my Sonata 2 years ago they would have charged a $500 advertising fee. Oh yeah, that price was for an '06 in Bridgeport vs '07 at Towne.
This price is available. Just check their web site.
How'd they come up with that price?
Towne's current advertised internet price is $2800 below INVOICE, not sticker (including teh general rebate).
Forget their "weekly special ads." Like all other dealers, those ads are designed for the uninformed. I, too was skeptical, before we bought our Sonata on 2/24, afer seeing the "weekly specials ads." One phone call showed the internet pricing beat the stuffing out of the week special prices.
We had no BS on the Sonata, $4300 under invoice including the rebates + $189 doc fee + ttl. OTD $18,189 for a car with MSRP of $22,080 before doc fee and TTL (6% sales tax).
We picked up my friend's Azera today. Everything as promised, no BS, no F & I pressure. Very friendly people. Salesman was well informed about the car, explaining various features and knowing the answers to all questions.
They are a very professional dealership. This was my first personal experience with them as I did not go to Towne when my partner picked up his Sonata on Feb. 24.
There must have been another half dozen customers in the show room when we arrived at about 11:30 today (a Wednesday). I thought that was good activity for a mid-week morning.
The sales manager even told me that he recently had a customer tell him that he learned of the dealership by reading postings on "Edmund's forum" by someone in CT
P.S. They even include a free oil change @ 1,000 miles. Salesman offered, "since you're not from the area, anytime you're near here we'll do a free oil change." That's not likely to happen, but thought it is useful information that the first oil change is free.

Do you think this is a good price. I know the 1000 rebate is over by it will most likely come back. The advertising fee and the doc fees are just add ons no matter what they call them. Just wondering if the end price is a good one. Thanks.Oh and its an additional $1530 for the premium package.
What year is this quote? That sounds like a good price for a 07' but and okay price for a 06'.
Good Luck with you purchase.
Towne is hard to beat and easy to do business with. No games, just a nice straight deal. Very nice staff.
You are talking with Towne Hyundai, right? Haven't found anyone better than them. They'll treat you great. (mention the guys from CT to them, they'll get a chuckle out of it)
Did your price include an owner loyalty rebate?
Sunnyvale Hyundai
Sunnyvale, CA 94087
Felt mentally stressed.
Felt totally discriminated.
Trying to press charges to this dealership by treating unfairly the customer and also discrimination.
This is regarding an incident happened on May 20th 2007 (around 4:00 PM ~ 5:00 PM) at Sunnyvale Hyundai.
As a customer, I went into the dealership to look for an used 2006 Azera.
I searched internet and had the cost figured out.
The first sale person was good to deal and he said that he has to talk to the manager. Then the manager came.
The problem starts from here.
I was not going to pay more than the amount that I had in my mind, and since the price did not match, I just walked out. At this point I had several brochures with me (2007 Azera, Sonata, Santa Fe).
Suddenly the sales manager takes the brochures from me and he says that I can not have more than one brochure.
I asked why and also asked if there is any enforcement on how many brochures the customer can have.
He said, yes and just one brochure for you.
I felt violated and discriminated. Then I asked, if I could have his business card. Then he said "no". Then he tries to throw me out of the dealership threatening by calling the cops.
He then tells me to give the home phone number so that he can call my parents???
I am 38 years old working professional as an Semiconductor design engineer at the multibillion company.
I asked if I did anything wrong.
Then he says "get out" and continues to threaten me by calling the cops.
The only thing that I did was to walk in the dealership and ask the best offer that they can give me. Since the price was not reasonable, I just walked out.
First, I don't understand why the sales manager took the brochures out from me.
Why insist to have my phone number to call the parents???
Threatening to call the cops.
Unfair treatment from the dealership.
You know, I am sure there is two sides to this story. But the same thing happened to me when I kept asking a question regarding rebates and they (the dealer at the time) wouldn't give me a straight answer.
So they asked a question - are you going to buy today? And then I said, "No I just hang around car dealership to waste my valuable time!"
The Manager decided I was too much for him and threw me off the lot!
I wouldn't worry about law suits and such things. Just vote with your pocket book and tell all your friends not to buy there either.

You might want to consider reporting the incident to the owner of the dealership.
