thanks
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.
I think it's a good deal and such a fun little car.
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' ?
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.
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.
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?
Anyone knows if there are any rebates coming anytime soon ?

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.
