MSRP 16,220 +(pin Stripe)
Sale Price 13,598 - Rally Red, Option 10, Automatic, Pin Stripe
Title, Registration, "Documentation Fee (I know this is high, but I am looking at the bottom line.)
162.50
Total 13,706.50
There must be some incentives for dealer's to move these out. I wonder how the demand is going for the GT?
I am a staunch Honda supporter, but this deal just was too good to pass up.
The highest quote I got was for $16,500 and the quote I ended up going with was
$14,774 .
He then charged $99 for documentation fee, but included the mudguards, carpets, cargo net and sunroof wind deflector for free.
The dealer was Suntrup Hyundai, sales person Brett Hergenrother.
That's what I did. Another dealer ran an ad for $13,799. They had the ad at the dealership. They had only 1 car with exact same MSRP. Had 400 miles on it though. Other than them trying too sell useless etching and extended warranty and charging too high a "documentation" fee, they were fairly straight forward and not bad to deal with. If you have any questions you can email me at rwdmmd@a1usa.net. Now one week, my wife loves it and what little I've driven it, I am impressed also.
I purchased from Howard Hyundai in Chicago, Ill., the salesman was John Reeb. Totally upfront and honest, not at all pushy, really a great experience and a great guy. He's got to be about the busiest salesman I have ever dealt with, so it takes a little patience to get to him sometimes, though. No surprise, considering the excellent deals he offers!
To those having trouble finding deals, I suggest looking to the big cities. It was about a 3.5 hour drive for me, but I saved about $1800 over my best local quote. In fact every dealer in the Chicago area beat my best local price. Maybe dealer incentives are even more regional than the consumer ones?
Good luck all, and happy motoring,

Can anyone give me any feedback as to the price they paid for a 2002 Elantra VE in Canada? I'm shopping for one, and it would help give me some ammo with which to take on the dealerships around here
Thanks!
Dave
let me know if I got a good deal... everything works, smooth and quiet so far, so I am relatively happy.
thanks!

Care to mention the dealership name?
actually, it turns out it wasn't all that great of a deal, as I see more newspaper ads in my area advertising similar car ( Steven Creek Hyundai has an automatic for $10295)

I am trying to buy a GLS before the end of the year. I am very impressed by the price you paid for your GLS and even more impressed by the ad price you say you saw in your local newspaper.
I know you were nice enough to provide some information already but would you mind giving me their phone number if you have?
that would be very much appreciated because I think you got a great deal on it.
if anybody else paid less than that, would you mind providing the information on your dealers?
TJ
thanks
Btw, my wife and I test-drove our first Hyundais yesterday, and we were very impressed with the Elantra and Sonata. I only wish the Elantra had a little better dashboard styling. If I could get an Elantra with a Mazda Protege interior, I'd be in heaven! :-) Anyway, I think that the dealer is willing to sell these cars to me for "invoice" prices. However, the saleperson and the general manager seemed too eager to close this deal, which leads me to believe that they must be getting a decent incentive besides just the 2% holdback.
Thanks in advance for your input on this!

On the Elantra interior... I sure don't understand. We had a Protege rental for 5 weeks while waiting for insurance settlement and shopping for our Elantra. I thought the Protege interior was awful. IMO, the Elantra has better fit, finish, materials and layout, not to mention more room.
I purchased an elantra GLS, automatic, pkg 2, carpet, mug today. I paid $12,700 with cash, which includes tax, fees and $1,000 rebate. Does anyone know if mine was a good deal or not?
As for the Protege vs. Elantra, it's the console layout/style of the Protege in particular that I like. I agree that, overall, the Elantra is roomier and the better choice for us.
Thanks again!
ps. made $61 net in vegas after 2 days.

PS. I too paid cash.

Should I go for this?
Thanks
"I just got an Elentra GT, Auto, Sunroof (pkg 10) in Pewter Silver for $14,000 plus tax in Brooklyn, New York.."
I don't know why dealers around Boston are not willing to go below $14300 without moonroof? I am not sure why folks in Brooklyn, NY and Chicago, IL are getting pretty good deals.
Any ideas?

I am paying Pewter, GT , Automatic, Floor Mats, Cargo Net and Mud Gaurds $14000 even. With TTL it's $15033. This is at Tom Hyundai in Norwood (Ask for Rick Lewis) who is 4 miles from my home.
My wife's first car and she is very happy.
-Sri
I suppose I can get real specific. Has anyone seen a manual with a moonroof in cobalt blue, pewter, or black on lot?
-Sri
Where did you get that deal? I will have to pay atleast another $1000 to get it around here in boston area.
Great Deal.

I originally wanted a pewter with option 11 but there are barely any and the dealers that have any were not willing to swap and instead put their prices up knowing the 5-speed GTs are in huge demand. I finally settled for a blue one without option 11 but had the dealer install a moonroof - I'm VERY happy with it and the deal I got.
I know there seem to be more autos but my advice would be to wait for a 5-speed if that's your 1st choice - it is very fun to drive! Pewter is by far the favorite color and therefore hard to find.
I went through Pride Hyundai in Lynn although at one point I had 3 dealers trying to locate me one - Pride were the ones who got me the GT first and for the best price. I paid $14,400 after having the moonroof put in.
BTW, I think elantraman may have had a good trade-in for the price he got - I've never heard of the price being that low, although it's easier to negotiate I think with the autos because there are more of them.
The GT is worth the wait - however long it is!! I think most owners here would agree!
The dealership in Concord (msg #118) seems a good bet, any others?
thanks.
The car was in good shape when bought, the detail guys were good, Zachary in service easy to talk to. A couple different salesman failed to return calls, but the deal happened anyway.
Obvious recommendation if you go there - or anywhere else: Know exactly what you want and what you'll be willing to pay for it.
On the way home I went around a rotary/turnabout and stopped for a car already in, and the guy was staring at me. I didn't know why because I wasn't in his way, but then I realized that he was looking at the car.
The only problems I have is that I'm too busy right now to take a drive and I discovered only 5 minutes after pulling into my driveway, that somebody down the street has a pewter GT. So much for thinking I'd have the only one in the area.
