I tried to respond to your listed email, but it would not go through at all.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we will be investigating. In the meantime, please post your experience with the dealership in our Dealer Ratings & Reviews.

thanks

Is a $12,500 plus tax, document fee, title a good price for a 2010 "four" door Accent GLS automatic? The car has power windows and locks. It retails for $15,460.

tarunkalra1 · September 2010

Bought a 2010 Hyundai Accent (3 DR Hatchback with Automatic Transmission) for $10300 OTD. It includes everything (Title, PA Tax & Registration). I had to use Hyundai Finance and ALL other rebates to get this price. My out of pocket expenses were $10300.

I have put 1400 Miles on it, the car runs great. Spent another $150 and got stereo installed from local store. The Hands Free telephone, Blue Tooth Music (IPOD, SMART PHONE), Tuner and CD Player run great with preinstalled Hyundai 4 speaker system.

Holler Hyundai in Winter Park, Florida sold me this car for $13888, plus $599 dealer processing fee before taxes were added and rebates subtracted with no haggling. This price was about $400 below invoice with the dealer fee added. OTD cost was $13862 after $2000 rebate. I was very impressed with this dealer advertising such a low price right from the start with no gimmicks about down payment or military or college grad rebates. Could I have gotten a better deal? Maybe, but why go through the stress and hassle of haggling if you get a good deal up front?

kallat · December 2010

So including tax and title this was the price? So what was the price before tax and tag. I need to ask dealer for this price since tax and tag differ across states. Also was there any special incentives..

Sandman6472 · December 2010

When does this new model debut? It looks like a mini Elantra, which is a good thing. Just saw a new Elantra in our preferred color over by the Hyundai shop & I was blown away. Just hope the rear vision is good & not compromised due to the sloping C pillar. This, or the new Accent will most likely take the place of the wife's Mazda 3s within the next year and a 1/2. Mazda won't step up to the plate on our current problem...we found a TSB for our particular problem but they said..."too bad". Seriously doubt she'll consider another 3...don't want the same car for 7 more years personally, that would be a total of almost 13 years!!

I just paid $14,600 ($13,708 without tax, tag, and documentation fees) out the door at Lee Hyundai in Fayetteville, NC for a Nordic White five-speed 2010 Accent SE three door. I handled the whole thing over the internet and the dealership was great. They beat every other dealer I talked to on their first offer.

compactcar · January 2011

Correction. The pre-tax, tag, and doc fee price was $13,662.

carfreak09 · January 2011

Excellent deal!! Well below invoice. Wait, did that include any rebates? You got your better equipped SE for less than my GS. I'm a little jealous

We both have Nordic White too! Congrats and welcome to the Accent fold. You might want to check out http://www.hyundai-forums.com There is a wealth of info there.

compactcar · January 2011

Yep! That price included 2k in rebates.

As humble as it is, I really love this car. My daily driver has been a 1981 Volvo 242 DL, so you can probably imagine the difference in handling, acceleration, silence, convenience features, and every other factor affecting the driving experience.

I love the short throw shifter and sporty suspension. I can't wait until I've broken it in a bit so I can start revving it out a little more. It feels quite zippy, even though it's not a fast car.

My only complaint is that a squeak developed after I dropped the rear seat to move our Christmas tree back into storage. I think you may have spoken to this issue in another forum, but it isn't my cargo cover hinge. I removed it completely to verify that it wasn't causing the squeak. I guess I'm going to make a trip to the local dealer to get it sorted out.

All-in-all, I love this car. The Yaris just bored me to tears at a higher price for fewer comforts. The Mazda2 was my other choice, but it was much smaller, less utilitarian, and much more expensive.

carfreak09 · January 2011

Oh ok, than you actually paid about $800 more for your SE than my GS premium. But for the amount of stuff your car has over mine, that was well worth the little bit of change. Does your car have a standard sunroof?

As for the squeak, it's most likely the seatback not latching tight enough or the hatch itself is slightly loose. A little grease on the seatback hinge may silence it.

compactcar · January 2011

Yep, it has the sunroof. That was the kicker for me over the Mazda2. That and the fact that I couldn't even sit up straight in the back seat of my own potential car, LOL.

With your suggestion (thanks!), I isolated the squeak to some portion of the seat hinges or latches. With the seats folded flat, the squeak goes away. I guess I just need to get a little grease into the latch and hinges.

phill1 · January 2011

It makes me laugh out loud when posters proclaim the great deals that they negotiated with their new car purchase and trade in allowance with or without a lot of arm twisting and haggling, but are very comfortable at the end of the buying process and bend over for the $599. Dealer Processing Fee pack. OUCH! Just because your car salesman states that they (Can`t) waive the Fee due to the fact that the Purchase Agreement has it printed boldly stating that even "Employees" must pay the FEE....Bull-Crap! After the deal is done, calming tell the salesperson to allow an extra (whatever the amount of the fee) say, $599. as additional discount or trade in allowance, or....WALK! I guarantee that eventually, a dealership that really wants to close the deal and make the sale will in fact knock that stupid fee off the purchase agreement. Stop being sheep and refuse to get sheared. Its the only purchase when the vehicle gets a wash job and the buyer gets a hose job and they call it "dealer-prep"!

carfreak09 · January 2011

While I agree the dealer processing fee is bull and they of course stated all paperwork includes it already printed so there was nothing they could do to remove it, in the case of my dealer, even with the dealer fee added, I still paid under invoice and exactly what Edmund's said was the going price for my car. So they really didn't hose me. They simply sold me the car for what they really were willing to sell it for. Not including this "dealer fee" allows them to advertise a screaming low price on their window. Sure, they could have advertised the car for $12487 and not put the "dealer fee" on their paperwork, but $11888 sounds so much better.

So, please tell me how I did not get a good deal? $400 below invoice is a very good deal when nothing was required other than me signing the paperwork. And for the record, I did walk out because of the dealer fee and guess what? They called right away and thanked me for stopping by, but did not try to get me to come back. I ended up caving to the need for a car and came back a few hours later and signed the paperwork because I realized that even with that fee, I still got a car below invoice.

dwynne · January 2011

My son has been saving for a new car and with trade or sale of his current ride he is pretty close to covering the cost of an Accent. He can borrow the rest from HMF and score a $1k cash back from them. the question is do they have a minimum amount that is required to get the cash back? Several banks and credit unions have $7k or $7.5k mins (way more than he needs) and they are not giving any cash back.

The details online don't mention a minimum, nor is there a mention of an early pay off penalty. The rates are high, so we figure on taking out the loan to get the $1k, then refinancing at a better rate and lower amount borrowed, if possible.

Thanks,
Dennis

dwynne · January 2011

Looks like each dealer has a hand it setting the minimum, I got quotes of $5,900, $7k, and $7.k from the 3 dealers that responded to my question.

dwynne · January 2011

I helped my son deal for his first new car yesterday. He decided on a 2011 Accent GS 3 door with automatic transmission in dark sapphire blue. The car had factory accessories of the floor mats, cargo net, and splash guards. MSRP (depending on where you look) would be $14,640, $14,670, or $15,640. Invoice would be $14,229 or $14,397 - all numbers include $720 destination charge and installed accessories.

He paid $13,215 less $500 rebate less $1,000 finance rebate = $11,715 including destination or $10,995 for the car. They charge a $387.50 dealer fee, which we knew about up front and is on par with all the other local Hyundai dealers. So $11,382.50 for the car or $12,102.50 for the car with destination. The cheapest invoice I could find less $1,500 in rebates plus after rebate invoice at $12,799 so his price was $696.50 under invoice including dealer fee.

This was the price without or with a trade and was the dealer's "Internet special" - the actual special was on a black GS AT with no accessories, but he preferred the blue one and they (have a brief negotiation) agreed to the same price for the blue and ate the $180 (at invoice) in accessories.

Here in high tax land (7% plus local tax plus high tags) the OTD price was $13,275.35 including new tags, title, and all taxes. Here (and most places?) you have to pay sales tax on the rebates, so there were nearly $1,100 in taxes.

He did have to finance (with Hyundai) $5,900 of the car to qualify for the $1,000 rebate.

He loves the car, wish we could have found one for a similar deal with the premium equipment package (to get ABS) but there were none to be found. Shame on Hyundai for not making ABS standard on all their cars.

carfreak09 · February 2011

Good choice for a first new car. It should serve him well. I'm curious why you said the Hyundai financing was high? 3.9% for 60 months is pretty darn good in this day of tight lending standards. My credit union couldn't beat it.

dwynne · February 2011

My credit union can beat it by 1% and Capital One by .6%. In the end, he borrowed so little that the finance rate will not make much difference. Besides, most places I checked have a minimum amount to borrow even higher than Hyundai did...

He really loves the car, nice looking inside and out - a lot "richer" than the older cheap Hyundai cars , Really nice stereo with XM, MP3, aux and ipod / USB included for the money as well.

aimon35 · March 2011

I just bought a new 2010 Accent 3-door GS, M/T with the premium equipment package and floormats for $8949. That's with a trade-in of $1080 (1997 Honda civic with 188k, cracked head and check engine light on) and $2000 in rebates. I was suprised at the nice stereo with XM, USB and iPod connections. I have 30 days to take care of the depressing job of paying taxes, etc.

I think it's a good deal and such a fun little car.

goosenoose · June 2011

Hi, I'm looking to buy a 2012 Accent GLS in a couple of days and qualify for several of the incentives offered on the hyundaiusa page. (Military & New Graduate).

I'm in particular interested in asking about the new graduate incentive (-400 off on top of a -500 military rebate and -500 loyal hyundai customer rebate)... BUT, a dealership i inquired with about this incentive they advised that i could only use it if i financed through them??

So I had two questions about this situation:

a. are they trying to hustle me by requiring that i finance through them?
and b. can i finance through them (for the first month) and then use the loan i've already approved for (60 mo @ 2.49 apr) and simply cash them out; effectively working around my having had to 'finance through them' ?

goosenoose · June 2011

2012 Accent GLS is 15165.00 less 500.00 military discount, including New Mexico Tax, title and license fees equals 15365.63 drive out. NM sales tax (3%) ... (no cruise, no blue tooth, or steering wheel controls)

2012 Elantra, automatic, cruise control, (no steering wheel controls, no blue tooth). Price is 18335.00 less 500.00 military discount, including New Mexico tax, title and license fees equals 18654.63 drive out. NM sales tax (3%).

There is a $450 delivery fee to get either of these to me bringing my final totals to...

Accent = 15815.63 final
Elantra = 19104.63 final

I am ready to start the paperwork ... just wanted to get a roar of approval/disapproval from the forums whether or not I should jump on it.

carfreak09 · June 2011

I don't think they were jerking your leg about having to finance through Hyundai in order to get the extra rebate. And yes, you can refinance through your own bank. I believe you do have to make at least one payment first though.

maximize · December 2011

Hello,

Just bought a 2012 Hyundai Accent SE (5 door hatch) clearwater blue today from Hub Hyundai West in Houston,TX. Out the door price was $17,900. Selling price was $16,042.xx. The MSRP price on the car was $17,695.xx.

Thanks.

drew11m · December 2011

For the automatic SE?? Damn...they must really wanted to unload the car to make their end of year numbers.

I am waiting to hear today on a SE in Cyclone Gray with the Manual transmission. Unfortunatley since its in another city I have to pay MSRP for it to get it.

Congrats on the new car. How do you like it so far?

drew11m · December 2011

I think I'd save the 3 grand and get the Accent. Seems like a good price overall though.

maximize · December 2011

It's only been a couple of days.... So far, it's been great. Got a spare tire to put in the back...lose mpg, but gain peace of mind if I get a flat. Will update if something comes up.

rose313 · January 2012

I bought my 2010 Accent a month and a half ago at the dealership I work for. It was bought for me from the auction as a favor, but I wasn't under any obligation to buy it if I didn't like it, it would have just gone on the lot to sell to someone else. Turns out I loved it, it had 25k miles on it and needed a starter and two new tires. I paid 10,889 for it. I am having so much fun with it...I'm only 23 and this is my first financed car. (Before I owned an old Ford and an old Jeep.) I had done some online research within my budget and had only found one other car that was new-ish and didn't have a million miles on it. I am lucky to have found my Accent and I intend on keeping it for at least five more years.

crider3 · January 2012

Looking to buy 2012 Accend GLS with stick shift and package that includes A/C (too hot here without it). I'm getting a quote of 14,000 before tax and wanted to see how it fares. Too bad I have to do it this time of the year as it looks like I missed out on all of the rebates/incentives for previous model.

Anyone knows if there are any rebates coming anytime soon ?

Kirstie_H · January 2012

Hello again,

Went with a friend to Hub Hyundai Katy on Friday (02-10-12) and bought an ultra black 2012 Accent Se for $17,900 out the door. Sales manager tried to push $18,100 otd, but when we stood up to leave, he relented and sold it for the verbal agreed price of 17.9k.

Thanks.

P.s.,
The clearwater blue Accent bought on Dec. 26 is running well so far...no probs.

jeffg8 · February 2012

We picked the Accent over the Fit,Civic,Elantra and Focus. Have always been Honda/Acura people since 1990. My wife is coming from a 2000 Accod EX-l to an Accent GS. Deal was $17,404 out the door. $904.30 was the state, $299.50 for license,transfer,customer services. I started out looking at an Elantra she felt it was to big-she and my daughter(will be 16 in a couple of months)loved the look/drvie of the accent HB. Hopefully it will be a good car and may be the one we send the daughter off to college in a couple of years down the road. I am taking it back in the morning there is a rattle/vibration noise on the driver side that should not be there. My fault we didn't test drive it again on pickup, just trying to get in and out on a Friday night. I wanted to avoid going to the dealership on Sat...that didn't work out. I will say my daily driver is a 2001 MDX and I'm amazed at the fit and finish on an entry level car. Honda needs to wake up!

Kirstie_H · February 2012

Did you recently purchase a compact or subcompact at least in part because it had very good fuel efficiency as gas prices continue to climb? A reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please send a brief description of your experience and contact information to [email protected] by Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

What is the lowest I can get for a GS stick shift? does any one have any experience?thanks

buy · June 2012

I am looking at a hyundai accent gs hatchback 2011 with about 24000 miles. Dealer is asking 13,500 online and the car has been on the lot 2 weeks tops. I want to make a quick sale (by the end of the week) What is a reasonable start...What would you think is the best price I could expect to pay for the car?

buy · June 2012

Did you ever buy the GS stick shift? Where are you and what were you able to negotiate. I'm looking at a similar model (automatic) in the NY metro regional area. Any tips?

jakeneff · July 2012

Just bought a 2013 Hyundai Accent Hatchback SE (automatic) in Cyclone Gray last night from Araphaoe Hyundai in Centennial, CO. Price after dealer fees and $500 military rebate (veterans get it too) was $16,000 plus 5% sales tax for an out the door price of $16,789.80. MSRP was $18,010.

Sandman6472 · July 2012

The wife seems to favor the Accent GLS with alloys and cruise for her new ride but coming from a Mazda 3s with the 2.3 engine, I feel she will be disappointed with the acceleration...it's a far cry from what she's used to. We already have an '08 Accent GLS and it's not the fastest out there by any stretch...a nice ride though for a subcompact runabout. I just hope the new Accent has a bit more get up and go. It definitely looks really nice.
