You are correct that some states charge tax before rebates, and some (like MN) after rebates have been applied. The buyer has no control over that--except to pressure their legislators to change the state laws.
What dealership did you buy from in NJ. Sound like good price to me.
Nobody else would come close to their price.
Very pleasant experience as well.
Gave me the best price over the ninternet out the door.
Then was able to get a few more hundred off in person last night and I just got home with my new SE V6
I'd also suggest you check out Fitzmall.com and Fairfax Hyundai. Fred Beans actually had mine brought up from Fairfax.

2009 GLS 5 SPEED MT $19,145 $15,889
2009 GLS 5 SPEED AT $20,345 $17,023
2009 GLS - V6 5 SPEED AT $22,895 $19,433
2009 SE 5 SPEED AT $22,495 $18,838
2009 SE - V6 5 SPEED AT $24,495 $20,708
2009 Limited 5 SPEED AT $24,995 $20,934
2009 Limited-V6 5 SPEED AT $26,995 $22,784
I was quoted 15998 by Fred Beans on the 5 Speed MT. That was the only price they gave me because that's what I wanted. Please note that these are "internet" prices. The price I got from Beans was also an internet price and expired on 31 Dec. It's possible the ones from Sussman expired end of December as well. I did not step inside the dealership until after I reached a deal with Beans.
During this time, the internet prices reflected the $2000 customer cash, which meant you had to bring your own financing. There were NO owner loyalty rebates reflected in these prices. I know this because I asked. If I'd owned a Hyundai, they would have taken another $500 off...which was the loyalty rebate running in December.
I assume since you know the Doylestown area you know where Sussman is.
The rest of the discount that I got was from their Fred Beans AutoRewards program that accumulated from regular service visits for our Nissan vehicles. They doubled it in December which gave me just shy of another $1000 off, which was added to my downpayment. I only financed 10K, which I got through my company's credit union at 4.49%.
Good Luck. And check out Fitzmall before you buy from Beans. I only used them because the doubled AutoRewards discount was too much to pass up.
Not too shabby and if someone steals my car in the next 3 eyars, I get 2500 back,lol.!
Im just curious did you ever get a quote from Stateline Hyundai or Towne Hyundai in NJ.
They were not close and told me their was no way I was getting the deal I did and that the dealer was lying to me.
Also tried Lynne's, Freehold, Brad Benson, Liberty, Global and a couple of others.
Interestingly enough, Wayne was the best and by far the closest (within 3 miles) of my house.
Plus it has the moonroof. I am wondering why this thing was so low priced, but that dealer seems to beat everyone else, including Gartner (who were also nice, btw). I am happy so far, handles fine in the snow. The only thing I dislike is the narrow wheelwell clearance. It makes it difficult to kick the snow, road ice from the whell well liners.
09 Sonata V6 GLS $18,573
09 Sonata LTD $22,525
This is a quote I received from a dealership in my area (suburban Philly). It is internet pricing and reflects the $2000 cash back.
I never intended to buy another Hyundai but with an additional $1500 loyalty incentive (I had an Elantra for 7 years and hubby has a Santa Fe), it does make the offer very attractive. I test drove an 08 and an 09 Sonata last week..... I didn't enjoy the ride as much as other cars I have been considering but the warranty and the standard features are considerably superior. Now I don't know what to do.....
Some minor things I don't like, but nothing major (vague/disconnected steering, no integrated bluetooth).
Other then that, I don't think you can beat it for the $$ and since I drive a LOT of miles each week, need something with the long warranty like the Hyundai.
Take care all and happy shopping!

Depending on your credit rating, expect to get between 4.5-7% interest rate.
V6 limited would probably put you around 24-25k out the door, so figure 25k after rebate (2k rebate only since you do not qualify for the 1500 loyalty I wouldn't think).
25-5=$20k you will be financing.
36mos @ 6% = roughly $608 per month for a 20k note.

You are leaving about $1,000 on the table.
Ok so I went to one of the mazda dealerships today I have been dealing with. I was looking for a 2009 Grand Touring HB in Metro Grey and they had one there. The guy showed me that invoice on the car was $22,740 which he was willing to sell it to me for. Options include: carpet floor mats, compass auto mirror, rear bumper guard, moonroof/bose package, and some other small things. He was willing to give me $5500 for my 2001 Honda CRV (trade in) and I would have to finance $17,240. Now the deal is 0% financing for 3 years which (after tax) came to $508 a month for 3 years. Is this a good deal or am I being robbed here? Any input would help. Thanks.
The car is wonderful and my baby is sitting in the front drive .
Ofh yeah it also has pin stripping too.
I am so glad that I did the email and confirm price before stepping foot in the dealer door.

-2000 MFG Rebate
-1000 Dealership Discount (i.e. negotiating)
-500 Tradein
*16400* Subtotal
Total out the door (i.e. NY tax and plates) was about 18K
Purchased from a guy named Sam at Atlantic Hyundai in Suffolk, NY. He was great -- I walked right up to him and told him "I'm looking to buy a car within the hour -- you going to help me?" I told him exactly what I wanted, and said 17500 out the door, and he said "Well then let's sit." He didn't have the color I wanted (Dark Cherry Red) without the pop equipment, so I got that package (so I could get my color) for 300 or so extra.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with the deal.
I was at the dealer getting some maintenance done on my Elantra today and a sales rep poked his head into the waiting room and said, "If anyone has a Sonata or Santa Fe and wants to trade for a new one, we could really use your trade and we have $3500 in discounts on the Sonata and $5000 on the Santa Fe." I don't know if he meant $3500 in total discounts, or in rebates, but I had not seen that sales approach before.
Saturday and Monday sale
2009 Sonata with 4 cyl and 5 speed manual transmission
Price with Customer loyalty was $12,488 (We already had a Hyundai)
I called and they told me I would have a choice of several colors.
I told him I would be in and he had the car ready to test drive.
After the test drive and looking at what I got for the price I bought the car.
Overall a great experience. I can not believe I could have had a better experience or got a better deal.
Am I wrong in thinking this was a great Deal?
If you look up your vehicle in its 08 model used with avg miles on kbb.com, you will see it has a trade in value of about $10000. This is what your 09 car will be worth in 12 months. You got a very good deal in that you paid about what it is worth, if not a little better.
Good luck

I saw a Ron Marhofer Ad in the Saturday paper in Akron,Ohio

MSRP incl. dest $27,020
Invoice incl. dest $25,525
Purchase price was $21,229 plus Tax and Registration
Entire negotiation was over the internet and phone. The salesman who was very good picked me up at my house and drove me to dealership for delivery. He threw in a cargo mat, cargo net and touch up paint. Delivery of the vehicle took 30 minutes inside the dealership. I highly recommend Stateline Hyundai in NJ.
Good luck! :shades:
I appreciate all of the good information in this thread! I am planning on buying a 2009 Sonata Limited in February, but am still undecided with regard to I4 or V6. My question has to do with the best time to purchase this automobile. I have read in other forums and numerous other places that the end of the month is the best time to buy because of dealer quotas. I plan to do this by email to avoid showroom pressure. Should I wait until around February 20 to begin my campaign? I am from Raleigh NC if that helps. Also any feel for advantage of I4 over V6 or vice versa.
Thanks

Not so much. I paid $19,989 for a Limited/Nav with every available option about six weeks ago.
