The previous generation Sonatas are nice, family vehicles, but they're styling is bland at best. Also, I don't make decisions about vehicle purchases where trunk hinges are any kind of major decision making factor.
what is a common price for 2010 sonata gls
GLS: FACTORY MSRP $20,755; WEB ONLY PRICE! $16,332
Use cars dot com and search within 150 miles of your zip code.
Should be easy to get 4500 off of msrp!
That is a great deal. I too am in Ohio. The local Toledo dealership just lost his franchise, so I'm looking to other Ohio Hyundai dealerships and will consider the 2 hour drive to Marhofer.
I am considering leasing for the first time, your $312/month is great. Was you cap cost, the $25,927 selling price or did you put additional money down above and beyond the fees and taxes? What was the money factor and residuals that they quoted you 15k per year. I understand the residual to be 58% for the Limited with 12k miles per year. Did they require you to pay the taxes upfront or could you have included them in the cap cost?
Thanks for your input.

besidesI was told an ideal otd price would be 16k.
But the saleman emails me $15,372.00 plus tax, tag, and fees. that will still totally cost me more than 17k.
As a seeker for a 2010 GLS (I4) I am in total agreement with your opinion. While I certainly wouldn't mind a 2011, my wife doesn't like it one bit so it's not even going to be considered. We are going for '09 or '10 used but if a new is in the ballpark, we'll consider. I'll keep my eye on the prices reported here. THanks!
My son works as a buyer of cars at auction. Last week a large group of Sonata's in the Chicago area went through at < 12K per unit. (Around $11.5 IIRC) The amazing thing, is that they were all NEW, and sold at the same price regardless of model. Most were GLS, but some SEs and LTDs were in there too. Part of the deal is that the buyer had to title the car. (Apparently so it would have to be re-sold as used)
My son has a 2009 GLS, and it has been a great car. I needed something with a little more "Soul", so I am getting a 2011 LTD. While the cars share a lot of the same heritage, the 2011 is much sportier, and had enough interior quality and toys to get me to part ways with my G35. I'd still highly recommend the 2009 or 2010 to anyone who needs a slightly roomier back seat, or prefers the slightly softer ride of those models.
To tell you the truth I don't know what the residual value and MF are for 15K. I was signing a lease for 12K and asked about buying extra miles. The Finance Manager did a calculation and said to buy 3,000 addtional miles would cost me $600, but if I got a lease for 15K it would be an addtitional $8.00/mth. That was a no brainer so I just said OKAY! She changed the paperwork and I signed it...
Humm, I chose to pay the fees and taxes upfront because I preferred to get some airline miles on my credit card. It seems to vary from dealer to dealer regarding the taxes. According to the State law (which I checked out online), when you are leasing a vehicle in Ohio you are required to pay all the taxes upfront. I had to do that on my last lease; however, when I went to the first Hyundai dealer they were working out the deal to include taxes in the monthly payments. So I guess the payment of taxes depends on where you go.
Just seeking comments on this offer:
2011 GLS w/Option 2 and Mats
Lease: $249 a month (includes all taxes and fees).
MSRP: 21,765
Selling Price: $20,000 using ($500 loyalty rebate)
No Downpayment...
Cold, Warm, Hot????
Thanks in advance..
The sales manager told me he was losing his shirt on this one and asked if I was interested in an 09 automatic for around the same price. I politely shook his hand and said no. He wrote this one up, had it gased and washed and I was otd in an hour. I told him he'll definitely get a good CSI rating on the experience. He seemed happy enough with that.
I've always been an ad unit shopper. Ever since my Altima in 94, I pull apart the weekend paper and also check the dealer websites for the best price around. I had to drive about 40 miles to get it, but the savings was more than worth it.
Best of luck to y'all
According to my dealer source, March lease rates are the same as Feb 2010:
GLS: res=60%; MF=0.00048; standard 36 month, 12k per year lease with 595 acq fee
msrp 21765, sell 20000
PRE-TAX lease payment would be 225.49
Depending on your state's taxes and fees, i consider your deal warm.
Good luck.
Gls, option 2, ipod and mats
MSRP $21,800
Cost $20,000, less $500 loyalty = $19,500 plus tax and license, 2.9% 60 months
Any comments on the extended 100,000 ten year warranty, $20 per month, transferable and cancelable.
The above is posted from the page where you create a post.
That said, I'm in B'ham, Alabama, so probably not worth THAT trip.
I'm trying to get a feel for how this dealer works. They won't give a price if I don't come in which may cost them a sale.
It would turn me off IMMEDIATELY.
MSRP was $26450 (included Pearl White paint, ipod cable, carpeted floor mats, wheel locks, door edge guards, wheel molding), got it for $23.5K at Faulkner Hyundai in Harrisburg, PA.
Transaction was soooo smooth, no pushy, irritating people, just a bunch of happy, helpful, fun-to-deal-with, promise-keeper people. Great service, great dealership. Highly recommended.
Dealership documentary fee is $120, which I think is pretty reasonable. They accept credit card payment up to $1500, which means with my 1% cashback credit card, it is like getting $15 off
Oh, almost forgot to mention, they gave me a financing APR of 2.90% (not 2.99%) which doesnt sound like a big difference, but for 5 years of financing tens of thousands of dollars, the small savings can give you like free meals at a restaurant.
So far, I love every moment of driving it, and I dont know why but the car feels better than when I was only test-driving it. It feels quite, soft, and powerful to me, and those gadgets are just too lovely.
In the mean time, you can see this clip from a certain dealer that has Pearl White Limited in "normal" (non-pro-press) condition:

Purchase 2011 GLS last week. With ipod connector, floormats an Wheel/powerseat package (forgot what it was called). Purchased in Texas at 2.9% with no owner loyalty discount. OTD price was $21000

Could you please tell me in which dealer you bought the car? I am in Houston. If it is convenient for you, could you email me the telephone number and the name of the salesman? Thank you very much!
i'd much rather prefer the SE but GLS might do if the price is right............
I have an out-of-state deal lined up all the way down to the deposit to hold it through Friday as it is about 300 miles from. However, the 2500 Sonata rebate on the 2010 looks to expire 3/31/10 which is Wednesday before I can make it there. I'm assuming that there is no real reason to drop the incentive on an aging model, but concerned enough since $2500 is a big deal for us.
Will the rebate be renewed for April? Is there a way to lock in the rebate without purchasing as I have not seen the vehicle in person?
Any advice, experience, or guidance for where to find an answer is Greatly Appreciated!
I've been looking a few months at the morket to buy a Lexus IS250 but I'm impressed by this Sonata, it really sounds like it's got not much to envy to the IS250 and the price you got is very attractive too.
Anyone know of good deals for SE model in the SF bay area ?
Also is 14.6 the best for GLS ?
I want to buy the car by Wednesday.
Thanks a lot
If its not a PEP equipped Automatic, its still a good price.
Thanks a lot!
I didnt get navi although it looks really good. Rather than getting navi, upgraded sound, and back-up camera for $2K, I prefer save that money. Especially since I already have portable GPS (portable is the key here), and standard sound system in Limited is clean, crisp and powerful enough for me already; and I dont need back-up camera.
It's a great buy, I'd say.
My budget allowed me to look for a car around $25K, and I had been seriously considering IS250 and Acura TSX. With around the same amount of money, I get either older car of IS250 or Acura TSX OR a brand new 2011 Sonata Limited. So I decided to get the Sonata. It doesnt have as much hp as IS250 or TSX, but it saves more gas and has more features, plus who doesnt like that brand-new-car smell )
Another plus, I couldnt resist the good deal I got with that dealership.
You should research the cars yourself. The car you'll drive must be the car you'll love driving, maintaining, and being around it
Are you in PA?
I'm in Tampa, FL so not sure if the dealers here work similar deals than the one you got, I for sure will try
Also I heard many people criticize the Sonata by saying "yah but it's Korean...it's still a Hyundai" while I like Lexus/BMW/MB and might have the budget for a used one I'll tell you that I won't pay more money just for the badge.
