A Hyundai dealer in NJ is offering 30% off dealer sticker price ($ 3,000 add for pinstrips, door guards, and Scotchguard protection)
We weren't in the market for things like DVD & power sliding doors & such, but the overall vehicle safety was the big thing for me in the end. The GLS had what we wanted for a price that we could live with.
Price (via Costco discount) was $23905, which includes whatever delivery fees & the accessories that were on it... but that price also doesn't include DMV, tax, & the discount.
Anyway, if what they showed us was right (per the Costco discount process), the GLS wasn't marked that much above the invoice price anyway.
I think the rebate might end today... but you never know if they will extend it or have another rebate later.
My wife and I looked at and drove the Sienna, Quest, and Honda. We completely agreed that the Entourage suited us the best. No history yet, but we love the van. :shades:
Entourage SE with 9" After Market DVD-LCD system (Audiovox) for $25300 (before $500 rebate), so an end price of $24800.
I had a similar price with Kia EX model, with power package and rear entertainment system. Have I got a decent price or should I keep lobbying? Thanks.
Please everyone, let us know what city/dealership you are commenting on.
Thanks
I send an email to ask for quote and one dealer (near Norwood, MA) give me this.
Year: 2007
Model: Entourage
Trim: SE
Transmission: 5-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC
Package: Premium Package
Exterior Color: Galaxy Black
Interior Color: Beige Entourage
Total MSRP* $27,695.00
Our current price is: 25,425
Edmunds list a invoice price of $25,785 and TMV of $26,962. so will this be a good deal or i can keep more green in my pocket? my current car is a nissan sentra so now way to get any loyalty or competitive rebates.
Thanks!
Don't know if this will help you, but it worked for me.
Good Luck!

Regarding the AD price. I always found some small prints and then those price are not low at all. :P
Car pricing is complex enough that just hearing the bottom line of the deal someone else got is not enough to determine if you got a good deal. And I'm NOT just talking about the games with trade-in and financing that have been rehashed many times. Ultimately the price is determined by how low the dealer is willing to go. It depends on what he wants as much as what you want. Here are several less-mentioned factors:
* Is the vehicle desirable? Is the dealer having a hard time selling the vehicle? Has the car been on the lot so long that "floorplanning", dealer interest on the cost of his inventory--for that car specifically--gotten too high?
* Is the dealer doing a dealer trade? If so, he has to negotiate with the other dealer? That could mean giving up a desirable car that he could sell. Or it could mean paying the other dealer some amount. There could be a rivalry or bad feeling between the dealers, which could make the deal harder for the dealer you are working with. You will get a better deal for something on the lot. Also, there is a real cost to transporting the vehicle between dealers, especially if it is a long way. If a trade is involved, you are probably better going directly to the dealer with the vehicle if you can find out. But beware, the dealer you are working with may try to keep you from finding out.
* Is the closer or manager trying to teach a rookie salesmen a lesson by not going easy on you? If you know what you are doing, you will get farther, faster with an experienced salesman. The closer or manager will believe it more when the experienced guy says that you are a grinder.
Ultimately, the price is what you agree to pay and what the dealer agrees to accept. Hard sell dealers (most of them) will do everything they can to get you to agree to something that you would not otherwise agree to if you had more information, especially the intricate details of his business, and more time.
Just by the way, I had a dealer offer me INVOICE less HOLDBACK ($891) less REBATE ($500) for an undesirable 2007 Entourage on his lot. But I didn't want it. He would only go to INVOICE less REBATE ($500) on a dealer trade for the Entourage I wanted. But when he went to negotiate the trade with the other dealer, he couldn't make it work. I had to leave without a vehicle.
So, an off-the-lot deal versus a difficult trade accounted for an $891 price difference.
To really know where you stand, bargain for a while and then leave. Get roped back in. Maybe do it again. When you finally leave, you probably have that dealer's best price (unless maybe there is a rookie education going on). Don't worry if you're told that you won't get that price later. If the vehicle is still available, and the rebates haven't changed, you should be able to get that price. But things can change, like if another buyer being less a grinder than you comes along and wants the same vehicle. As I said before, if you knew the details of the dealer's business (and ultimately what he was thinking), then you would know if you got a good deal.
From my experience, I'm not quite sure how bigal38 got INVOICE less $1650 less REBATE ($500) (post #283). I'm not saying that I think he didn't. I'm just not sure what motivated the dealer to go that low in his case. I would guess that you should be able to get something off the lot for INVOICE less $500 less REBATE ($500). Could be INVOICE less HOLDBACK ($891) less REBATE ($500) is readily doable for any off-the-lot deal. I don't really know. But I'm pretty sure about the final offers I got after walking from two dealers.
Other comments welcome. It would really help if people who get smokin' deals would try to figure out and explain what factors might have been at work in their deals.
And bowulf (post #285) got $24,800 (including rebate) on an SE. Invoice less rebate would apparently be $24,655. So bowulf paid $145 over invoice, but got a 9" DVD system. I don't know the street price for an installed AudioVox DVD systems. But at $500, bowulf's price would be $355 under invoice.
So ... maybe $360 under invoice is the going price for an SE in usual circumstances with a decent amount of grinding. How hard did you folks grind?
I am trying to make some educated guess about how long I might have to wait to see if the exact vehicle I want becomes available?
How far out can Hyundai dealers check for vehicles?
"received your inquiry on the all new 2007 Entourage SE with the Premium package and look forward to further assisting you. The internet price for a 2007 Entourage SE is $25,425 after dealer discount and rebates."
so this is a price $140 over invoice here. so not a good deal at all. with hld back, if i cut $1000 more from this, it might be a good deal. am i too greedy?
If you want your best price, get up and walk away.
Also be realistic. You are not going to get a 2007 model for $2,000 below invoice unless it is the last day of the month and that dealer needs one more deal to hit a bonus. We need to make money in order to stay in business. How much we make on a deal will vary, but we aren't going to sell a car under normal circumstances if we are losing money on it.
In the end, I believe my internal OTD price was about $25000, which was $300 below invoice adjusted for regional advertising fee.
So now I am not sure if I should throw $2k more on Entourage instead of Sedona...
Bottom line... If you know exactly what you want it can be located.
Anyway, to me a good deal depends more on who I am dealing with than the price.
A good person will only treat you so bad on price and other elements of the deal. And if they are not trying to screw you, how can you get a bad deal?
Got a quote for Hyundai Entourage GLS 2007 (Galaxy Black, standard) from one dealer this afternoon in Pittsburgh, PA.
(23068 Invoice + 500 advertising fee + 700 Transportation)
–750 holdback
-1500 rebate
+Tax
- ~ 300-400 dealer discount
Outdoor price=23, 000
Is this price acceptable? Your comments will be really appreciated.
Finally got it.
23,000 outdoor with mud guards, floor mats and 0 APR for 3 years.
Anyway, I'd at least wait until next month to see what the rebates are. Right now its only $500. I don't know if i'd push it off until October as twins have a tendancy of showing up early.
Didn't really want the PE package, wanted a stock SE. But this was on the lot and Dealer wanted to move it and I'm happy with the dealer discount and $500 rebate.
TMV price here indicates it should be over $29K and even more than I paid at the Invoice Price.
fwiw
I live near Poughkeepsie, NY, and am looking into minivans (Entourage probably, possibly an Odyssey...). My nearest Hyundai dealership is about 30 minutes a way, unfortunately... and the Honda dealerships are also pretty spotty here... (so getting dealers to compete over my business seems like it might be hard...).
On CarsDirect, I can get the SE with PE for $27615, and $28115 with the 0% for 3 year deal (well more than $500 savings on interest...). (Unfortunately, this car is in NJ...).
I'm just wondering whether this is a good deal or not. I could drive to near NYC to a costco affiliated hyundai place, but I don't think I'd get a better price than this anyways.
So, my two questions are:
1. Is that a decent price?
2. Odyssey, Sienna, or Entourage? I like the Entourage warranty and price (and it does drive well). I can get the DVD entertainment system without breaking the bank (not so with Honda or Toyota...). Why did most of you choose Entourage?
Thanks!

According to Edmunds TMV, the typical customer has been paying $28398. I probably could have held out for a bit lower, since the salesman accepted my offer a little too quickly.
Anyway, that sounds like a pretty good price.
2) Why Hyundai? My finalists were the Kia Sedona, Hyundai Entourage, Toyota Sienna, and , in that order. I also looked at the Dodge Caravan, Mercury Monterey, Saturn Relay, and Nissan Quest.
Why Hyundai over the Kia, since they are both basically the same vehicle?
a) I have bought 4 other cars from the Hyundai salesman and find him a pleasure to deal with. I didn't get a very good vibe from the Kia salesman.
b) Hyundai allowed me to get the Infinity premium sound system without having to get $5000 worth of other features I didn't want.
Why Hyundai over Toyota? Hyundai/Kia looks like they shamelessly copied the best features from the Odyssey and Sienna, but improved on them a tiny bit. Little things like adjusting the seats, folding down tray tables, and removing the middle seats were all smoother and easier on the Korean models. Toyota has the reputation for outstanding fit and finish and quality, but those operations were rougher and clunkier on the Sienna.
I just have to keep my fingers crossed that the attention to detail on the interior features carries over into the important areas like the engine and transmission.
Why not Honda? Our local dealer doesn't have a real good reputation. Also, I think the Odyssey is a bit over-priced.
Vehicle price $28,832.00 - $1,000.00 for competitive discount (Indiana). Also got 3.9% for 60 months.
Think we got a pretty good deal

We were told that we had up to 1 year and 10k (I think) miles to come back and purchase the extended waranty. They gave us an astronomical IMHO price of $1000 so we didn't discuss it further. I know that you can also shop the waranty around between dealers for the best price.
I recommended to my parents to get the Kia because of the outstanding incentives.
They just bought a Sedona EX with Luxury/Leather package (my mother is short, so the power pedals and memory are very nice to have) and Power package, but without the Premium Entertainment (which doesn't matter to them) for $23,200 after the dealer discount (no mark up and no advertising fee) and a $1500 rebate and a $2000 Competitive Bonus (because they already owned a qualifying minivan).
If not for those advantages I probably would have recommended the Hyundai, because it is kind of the Mercury version of Kia.
I just bought a 2006 Sedona LX (delivered to my door!) for $17,550 before tax, title and license. The Sedona LX has a $3000 rebate and I also qualified for $1000 competitive rebate since I own a Chrysler Town and Country. Couldn't get any dealer below $20K on an Entourage.
Absolutely correct. In fact, other than cosmetic differences, they are exactly the same vehicle out of the same plant off the same assembly line.

*Love the adjustable pedals since I'm only 5ft. That's a must have for me.
:confuse:
Do you think all the posts here are the out the door price unless otherwise noted?
Anyway I'll share our numbers too, hopefully someone will find the info helpful.

Price: 28,499 (rebates already included here)
Fees: 427
Total: 28,926
We bought out of state so still owe tax and tags.
We'll need to wait a few days for paperwork to clear before getting that taken care of.
If I figured correctly that should come to just under $500, so unless I'm way off on those computations, our final price should be right at $29,425
By the way on Nov 25,2006 I traded my 1999 grand voyager se and had to write a check for 24,960.00, that included all fees taxes and trade in.
The MSRP window sticker for my Limited including freight $700, cargo net $50 and flormats $175 was $29,720.00. The old vans trade in value was 4000.00, rebate 1000.00, then I haggled for another 2,000.00, they added $573.00 for "dealer handling, tags and registration, and they added $1467.00 sales tax.
Any way I gave them my old van, plus the check for 24,960.00. So in the end, I guess you'd say I got it for $26,720.
I'm having trouble comparing this to other forum members, because I don't know what they are including in their 'so called' OTD (out the door) price.

I used James Bragg's fightingchance.com to help me get this deal. Best $35 I ever spent.
ocrts
Anyway, I purchased the SE with the Premium Entertainment Package. The sticker was $29,895. With no trade, I paid $22,500 including tax (6% at the time, now 7% in NJ). Now, that was after a $1500 rebate and $500 owner loyalty.
We just crossed 9,000 miles and have had only one problem....one of the backup sensors in shot and the system just beeps in reverse now. They want $250 to fix it since it appears that someone broke it by tapping our bumper :mad: Other than that, it has been a pleasure.
I still love going out romping in my 2006 Sonata V6, but the Entourage is an acceptable second, especially with the kids :-)
