Invoice price: What's it really worth? from CNN
I got the SE w/ P&L floormats mudguards wind deflector/etc according to this website invoice was $30,274.
Price on my sales contract was $29,650 so I gues it was even a better deal at $624 below invoice.
+ they filled it up w/ gas.
and - i tell you my trade was not worth what they gave me.
hope this helps
Thanks

Who are these journalists you speak of? To put on a scale, more than nine out of ten have given positive/favorable reviews. I work closely with the all of the auto manuf. and you should know industry professionals would disagree with your assessment on the VC and the rest of the Hyundai portfolio, including your exaggeration, "bath of resale".
Go test drive one and find out for yourself. I can tell you the Veracruz undercuts competitions while still offering more values and features. The demographic of Azera owners, close to 90% have opted for the top trim - this is a great sign, as consumers are ready for $30K+ products, and more importantly, further resonates its incredible improvement in quality, reliability, and durability, some rating even better than Toyota. I know I am ready for my first Hyundai - the RWD luxury/sport sedan coming next year might just find home on my driveway
And the answer to your question - YES!!
This begs the question: Who would pay $30,000 or more for a Hyundai? With the Veracruz, the better question might be: Who wouldn’t?
This comes from a generally well-repected enthusiast's magazine so I think that counts for something. Here's a link to the full article:
Autoweek article
$26,294 - $500 + $125 floor mats + $690 destination charge = $26,609 (+ tax and license fee)
Didn't pay $150 advertising and had free front window tints.
They had ads for sales every Hyundai for $500 under invoice, so when I arrived, took the test drive, then they showed me the invoice and start from there.
You can call any dealership and ask for fleet sales manager and ask them how much they can sale their cars from invoices. When you see him/her, take test drive and if you don't like the car, just leave.
They didn't have any SE Models, they allocated from another dealership. Yes, license+documentation fee for a total of $700 approx.
I did test drive a Santa Fe, Entourage, and Nissan Pathfinder. Veracruz is superior, very quiet; especially, the 3rd row seat is very comfortable for 5'-5" people and have rear a/c control with vents from ceiling for both 2nd and 3rd rows, and from B-pillar too for 2nd row.
Gas mileage gets 21 mpg combination from 75 mph on freeway and in town. Car insurance is even cheaper than my 99 Isuzu Trooper S. I'm happy with it.
I love this XOver SUV!
Now, my final price was, $28,500 incl, a $1000 trade in . I know what the TMV is on edmunds, but what troubles me is that the sales guy told me I was getting almost 12K off the "strange price" but really not much off the MSRP with a grand for my old Taurus.
So...is the 28,500 ,exclusive of title, fees delivery etc. a good price or am just being BS'd because of the hight "other price". What are others really paying in the northeast.
thanks

2007 MDX Tech/Sport - $44K
2007 Hyundai Veracruz Limited - $34K
Premium fuel is RECOMMENDED, not required. All dealers I visited use regular on MDX, the latest and current models. However, RDX the only one turbo REQUIRES premium, else ...
I need to buy ASAP and am wondering if anyone knows if these even exist in dealerships to buy right now???
Thanks!

I bought a Veracruz Limited with Ultimate Package in Black Diamond with Black/Saddle interior.
Thats an extra 5 yrs and 38,000 miles for the US, while we get totally ripped off. Thoughts? If anything, I think they should be the equivalent.
Also, I'd be worried about always running the engine with the computer always turning the knock sensors on...not sure if knock sensors can respond fast enough when you try to floor the engine, although this is probably only true for a turbo/super-charged engine.
Heck, a fillup is probably only $4 more for premium.
I ended up paying $34250 inclusive of everything (tax, title, paint protection,leather protection, under coating,cross rails, process fee)
which i assume is a good price, obviously, memorial day and end of month helped me and luckily i got the colors i wanted.
Also i saw more of GLS and limited and few SE out there.
Last but not the least, costco auto program helped me to start my buying process and price point.
I am sure you will certainly enjoy a ride in new Veracruz, I can assure you that much. I bought mine a week ago and i am very happy so far. True Pilot is tried and tested but from what i have been reading, the current Hyundai's are no jokes either. They have come up a a looooong way and plus we have some really good warranty to back it.
Also at the same time, i havent read any bad reviews from any one for Hyundai from professional reviewers so far.
Look for a dealership who has a veracruz on site and ride one to believe it ...good luck with your purchase
Better than the Pilot - it's showing it's age, has a lot less toy equipment, not as quiet and a bit boring.. but with 100% Honda reliability (my car is a Honda Accord EXL-V6); Mazda CX9 was pretty good, but reliability is hit and miss with the brand and the cost difference for similar equipment was big; GMC Acadia is a wildcard... is it as reliable as a Chevy Tahoe (my wife's old car was a 2001 LT with every option - very reliable but too big and thirsty) or Chevy Trailblazer (ridiculously unreliable)? time will tell, but I'm not taking that gamble.
Veracruz Limited is outstanding - quiet, powerful, good mileage, tons of equipment and yes, very similar to the Lexus RX. My brother in law has one of those and they are very nice... but $50k? Not for me. I'll invest the 30% I saved for my retirement! VERACRUZ = HUGE BANG FOR BUCK. :shades:
P.S. Motor Trend did a head to head and came to the same conclusion as me: Veracruz Limited is with in spitting distance of the Lexus RX. Call it a near draw, take the Hyundai and save the $10,000+.
Makes no sense whatsoever. And to starve the dealerships with inventory is a GREAT way to move the brand to the next level. This has been a very frustrating experience that will likely drive me back to the Japanese car manufacturers. Sorry, Hyundai- I was willing to spend $35K ++ on one of your products and you couldn't deliver. Great reviews are only half of the battle. How 'bout building some inventory for your dealers to sell??!!??
Remember, that model RX that was in that comparo had the navigation system and the Mark Levinson sound system.
A better comparison between these two cars should have been an AWD RX350 with the premium plus package, which still gets you HID lights that swivel. The MSRP would be around $42,000
with people buying these particular models for
around $37,000 or $38,000(???).
