Also, due to disaster in Japan, lot of other Asian car brands are short on supply and that puts market pressure for new car prices to harden, especially for fuel efficient models!
FYI, Camry had $1200 rebate due to re-designed model arriving in less than 2 months time and I am sure Altima will be discounted due to the same!
If one can wait till Fall thru Spring than better deals will be offered on all major brand mid size cars unless economy takes off!
2012 GLS with Auto tranny, floormats and cargo net, OTD with taxes and fees and all that $22,000 i made a $2,500 downpayment and got a 60 month 2.9% financing rate.
What do you guys think?
Several years ago I paid $2G over MSRP for an MDX.I was so happy with the Suv that I don't regret paying the extra. There's no greater joy than driving a car You love, in my opinion.
price is awesome.
Any suggestions? What do i do if they call again?
Is there anyone from Hyundai here?
I am about to contact Attorney General's office and already called Better Business Bureau.
Guys, please help.
even now if u only verbally agreed, u may have a chance to back out and just continue paying what was agreed in writing.
If it were me, I'd never have agreed to a higher rate.... When they find out you are willing to bring the car back, most times they will eat the rate increase (assuming they have to)..

Hyundai does not care.
Also how can i findout if they already filed my paperwork so i can finally move on.
Purchase price of 26,850,+fees (Costco price) 2.3% for 60 months (BofA). It drives like a dream and
its so pretty. We're happy!
emergency kit. Think I got a good deal at $26,150 plus tax and fees. MSRP was $27,295
Great car, glad I bought it. Traded in a 7 year Camry SE, what a difference. Quality Hyundai
gives you and price beats Toyota.
I was so scarred by the treatment at the dealership I am afraid they may pull something else, so just waiting until registration and first bill come.

Thanks
The best prices on there are $22,357 for the ES and $20,296 for the GLS. Are those pretty much what I should be aiming for as far as prices is concerned?
I don't know right now if I want to lease or purchase, but is there any further incentive on if I choose one over the other?
Any feedback from those with recent purchases?
Thanks.
im just wondering if anybody got a better deal than $24,359 excluding ttl. It came with wheel locks and carpet floor mats. bought it with cash and got $10,000 on my trade in..
TTL was about 2k..

Could you please provide me with the MF and Residual for the 2012 Hyundai Sonata
Limited 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A) for both 12k and 15k?
Also, if you could provide the invoice on the car, that would be great. I believe that the invoice is $26,252, but I'm confused if that includes navi and other options? Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I've read conflicting reports on the cash back available for 2012 Sonata. The dealer is telling me that there is only $500 cash available. Please clarify.
Thanks in advance!
On my trade-in: can I use kelly's bb to use as a realistic price or do dealers use something different? And does the price depend on the dealer vs. national trade in value?
And when negotiating does it really matter to negotiate the price of the car before discussing the trade in?
Thanks - SP
I tried TrueCar and I guessed it helped. Dealer contacted me with offer after I got a TrueCar quote.
Good Luck
Anyways, I knew I wanted a 2012 and not a 2011. I knew that I needed either a GLS with the POP package or the Limited Turbo 2.0 since my wife needed power seats (small woman) and we both do not like the stiffness of the SE (nothing wrong just preference). We have always driven 6 cyl cars so that is why we were interested in the 2.0.
I wanted to purchase through my local dealer which I've always found fair and pleasant (Key Hyundai in Milford, CT), but they did not have the car we wanted. Finally last Wednesday a GLS POP package came in and we put a deposit down to hold it (Pearl Blue with Grey) - the deal wasn't that great on it. They were insisting on MSRP because of the demand. I had gotten quotes from numerous dealers in the North East, used Costco pricing, and TrueCar.com and got them to offer $800 under MSRP (I was settling after shopping for about a week). Then Thursday morning Wayne Hyundai in Wayne, NJ called and said they had just gotten in the 2012 Limited 2.0T Grey on Grey if I was interested... They offered $800 below invoice through Truecar.com (MSRP on this car was $29.050 - included cargo mat and floor mats). I was dealing with their internet sales person named Kristina Gorgovski (let me know if I need to delete this name). Personally I thought this was framing up to be something unpleasant since it seemed to good of a deal at this time in the life cycle of this new car. I'm a nervous type of guy when it comes to big decisions, I must of asked 20 times if there were other "dealer fees" or "catches", and they promised me no. So that day (Thursday) asked me to put a $1,000 non refundable deposit on the car (which didn't make feel great - because they also didn't have the greatest reviews online - I will be giving the a positive one), but they ended up not actually processing it (their mistake)(I also cancelled my deposit on the GLS with Key Hyundai but made them aware that I will still service my car their because of their effort). I made Wayne Hyundai aware that I could only pick up the car on Saturday since they were in NJ and I was in CT. Once I made the deposit, the sale got transferred to Fernando. I wanted to get as much done over the internet that I offered to submit my CT registration on my current Hyundai for the $500 loyalty rebate, my DD214 to try and get the $500 military rebate, and to fill out a credit form to see if they could match or beat my current rate I had been offered, but they did not take me up on that offer (all of this was done at my Saturday 9AM appointment - which now that I think about it, it is a great time to make an appointment because they were crazy busy - there were no "hard sell" upgrades).
I went down there Saturday morning with my wife and daughter. I got there about 20 minutes late. Fernando got me in, reviewed my paperwork, I filled out their credit form. Then we took a test drive (my wife and I both drove it). Fernando was a great guy, really put us at ease, seemed to know exactly what he was doing and was well organized. Went back to the office and sat with Travis the finance guy. Was approved for their 3.99% 60 month offer (I should have applied for the 2.49% offer through PenFed). Was told that I didn't qualify for the military rebate because my 8 years was spent with the Army Reserves and not Active Army (I knew that was a possibility but tried anyways). Travis tried to up sell me some protection packages but was easy about it. We did decide to purchase the tire and rims protection for 5 years. The 18" tires and alloy rims are very expensive, one claim will pay for itself (my wife and I have terrible luck with tires). At first I thought they were trying to add an etching fee to my bill, but they reduced the invoice my that amount... The only "surprise" fees were $5.00 online processing fee and a $99 Credit Inquiry Fee.
Here's the break down of the invoice (2012 Sonata Limited 2.0T Grey with Grey, Floor mats, Cargo Mat):
Price of Unit: $25,000
Tire and Wheel Coverage: $595
Window Etching: $299
Total Cost of Car and Coverage: $25,894
CT Sales tax (6.375%): $1676.18
Online Processing Fee: $5
Credit Inquiry Fee: $99
CT Registration Fee: $299
Dealer Doc Fee: $399
Loyalty Rebate: -$500
Total OTD price: $27,872.18
After documents were signed, Fernando brought us back to the car and did a complete walkthrough. Hooked up both of our phones. Showed us Blue Link. It was detailed with a full talk of gas. Fernando was a busy guy but gave us all the attention we requested.
200 miles on the car, my display says I'm averaging 39 MPG (mostly highway).
I'm feeling good....
You could have called your auto insurance company and covered the wheels for a TINY FRACTION of what the dealer charged you.
And what does a tire cost - no more than $200.00?
The $595.00 is a complete and total ripoff for 5 years of coverage. Who underwrites this coverage? The dealer or an insurance company? If an insurance company, WHO? What is their rating- "A","AA, or "AAA", OR LESS?
The $299.00 is window etching of the VIN number? OK-somebody steals your car and parts everything out except for the windows.
Another ripoff charge.
Enjoy your new car - your happy that is all that matters.
The etching was done and wasn't an actual charge. They reduced the price of the car by the $299.
The price should have been $25, 299 instead of $25,000.
I just put all of the info out there for others to digest. I'm not claiming I got the best deal or anything.

At 25,500 i think i'm better off buying an accord??
What would anyone pay for this car?
Will it be cheaper in Nov or Dec... probably. Will I enjoy it every day between now and then.....absolutely. For $500 spread out over 3 year terms ie 46 cents a day I am a happy camper.
Sales tax = $0.00 so that helps and wow what an amazing car. Quite a step up from 10 year old civic
On one hand I have a dealer, in Omaha, NE, that has a black 2012 SE 2.0T with the Nav/Sunroof package in stock, and hes quoting me $26,206 plus tax/license
On the other hand, there is another dealer in the same area who said he would locate a 2012 SE 2.0T with nav/sunroof, in indigo night paint (which is what I really want), quoting $25,768 plus $399 documentation fee and tax/license, but wants a $500 deposit to find/transport the car... I don't necessarily feel comfortable putting that $500 down without knowing he can find the car I want.
Any/neither/both of these offers/situations sound like decent deals? Advice? Thanks!
Can you you give me the name of the dealer in Baltimore area that would have gave you the good deal. can't find one myself. thanks.
