Replying to: ramblinwreck1 (Jul 12, 2007 3:04 pm) Like you, I'm surprised by all of the "$2000 under invoice" deals. What seems to be the case is that some dealers are discounting by the amount of dealer holdback (2% of invoice); others are going even deeper by anticipating high-volume bonus $$$ from Hyundai based upon total units sold. My selling dealer (Santa Rosa, CA) is clearly not a super high volume dealer and I doubt that they get much back above the normal holdback; if they do, more power to them. I bought mine for straight invoice less the $1000 rebate; the dealer kept the holdback $$$ and anything else they might get from Hyundai. I'm happy and they're happy. If you're able to buy for $500-$600 below invoice less the rebate, my suggestion is to go for it. It's a good deal; buy the car and start enjoying it! |

Replying to: smith1 (Jul 10, 2007 9:41 am) They can't sell cars at their unit cost and stay in business. They are very easy to deal with, nice people & no funny stuff. They have great prices, better than Fitzmall, yet they still have to be making money. Nobody should begrudge them that. They have sold 4 cars (1 new Sonata, 1 new Azera, 1 new Tucsonand an '03 used Sonata) since February to three of us here in CT, about 100 miles away. The Tuscon guy just picked up his car at the beginning of this week. He paid $3K less than the local dealers within 40 miles wanted plus he got a nice discount on the extended warranty. So for spending about 4 hours total travel time and a few bucks for gas he saved over $3K.

Hey. Don't want to make anyone jealous, but I wanted to see how the following deals compared to the latest deals others have gotten. Stepdad works for HMMA (Hyundai Motors Manufacturing Alabama) and I can get Team Member pricing on any new Hyundai. Using this plan, I can get an '07 GLS, AWD, 5spd no additional options for $19158.75 (TRUE invoice minus 15% + inland shipping - not sure if rebate would apply. Checking w/ admins at HMMA.) Through Associates/Friends and Family pricing: $20382.10 (TRUE invoice, minus 2% MSRP, minus rebate, minus advertising fee + inland freight.) Using team member pricing will require me to go to Montgomery (I live in NC) possibly pay AL and NC sales tax plus deal with registering a vehicle bought out of state. Not to mention dealing with trade-in and financing. Using Associate plan I walk into dealership, tell them what I am doing, give them a code generated for me, arrange financing details, trade-in, etc. No haggling, no bargaining, no "let me see what we can do" crap. I can even order a vehicle if it is still being built (since '08's are rolling off the line now...) or have one delivered from the HMMA storage yard. Now, how do those figures compare to deals ya'll have gotten? Would it be worth it to not have to play the game? Sure, someone could probably get a better price but you have to play the game. I have been dealing with Saturn since '98 for new cars. Bought used elsewhere but that's a different story! I don't like the crap, but can do it... |

| No options... From Hyundai: $21775 plus shipping. | |

I've got an incredible deal pending delivery tomorrow am. After delivery, I'll inform on here what you all should know about HOW I did this deal with the dealer. Shooting for 2500-3K under Invoice. have a great Friday.

Replying to: oceang2 (Jul 13, 2007 2:54 pm) Could you let us know how you did? I am looking to buy a Santa Fe Ltd AWD and would appreciate your experience. FYI, I am in Washington, DC area. Chris
