Replying to: chrislegg1 (Aug 26, 2007 10:19 am) I bought mine at Fairfax Hyundai and got a great price. The service was okay (not stellar, but certainly not bad) and they had a large inventory for what I wanted and were able to beat my Fitzmall price by about $800 bucks. (The details of my price paid are listed on this thread a couple of pages back). My sales guy told me they still had plenty of '07's and needed to clear them out for the '08's arrival. I would think they would be bending over backwards since they are coming up to the end of the month. Did you get a Fitzmall quote and ask Fairfax if they could beat it to make it worth your while? Nothing like a good dose of competition to help out the consumer  If you have any other questions, let me know. This site was truly invaluable when I was deciding on buying my SF and I'm happy to pay it forward.

| Purchased SF Ltd with Premium Pkg, mats, cargo tray and wheel locks. It had one of those phony "protection pkg" uplifts which I told him I don't pay for. Actual MSRP was $27,320. We settled on $24K (plus TTL) including the $1K rebate. Also took the $500 financing incentive. So $2,320 off the MSRP. Thrown in from sticker #2 was Protection Package (anyone know what that is-I'm guessing Turtle Wax), very nice pinstripe, door visors and mud splash guards. I'm assuming that stuff got me to about $2,500 under MSRP. With the finance incentive I left happy paying $23,500 for a very handsome automobile. Color is Natural Khaki (although it doesn't look like any of the khakis in my closet). | |

Replying to: hamsfc (Aug 26, 2007 11:07 pm) Anyway, I picked up my SF this weekend from Towne in Buffalo for $26,300 OTD, and imported it to Canada without a hitch. It's the AWD Limited with Premium package, in Silver. I really wanted the Natural Khaki, but they couldn't find one close enough with the premium package. I wanted to ask what others are paying for the extended warranty, and if it's worth it or not. I was offered a price of around $1400, but I've been seeing people in this thread getting it for well under $1000. I couldn't find the link that was posted earlier, does anyone have any contacts to get the warranty for cheaper? |

Replying to: spdztr (Aug 27, 2007 6:20 am) I paid $1429 for the extended service and maintenance contract. I drive 25K miles/yr so having bumper-to-bumper for 4 years w/no mileage limit, plus having all my service appointments prepaid made good sense to me. I like the feeling of being finished with my car expenses. I honestly didn't realize the contract was a negotiable item since I was buying it through the business/finance manager. |

I'm currently negotiating on a 2007 Santa Fe SE 2WD (w$95 floor mats). (Of course there is always about $895 of dealer add ons like pin stripe and other such 'junk' for the other handwritten sticker price.) The MSRP is $24,595. Besides the $1000 rebate, I get $500 buyer loyalty rebate, and $500 financing rebate. Taking us to $22,595. My 2005 GLS Tucson trade has 30,900 miles very nice /exc cond is being offered at a $11,500 trade value (which I think is very good based on research). NJ sales tax is 7% The current offer I have is finance $10,682, "Out The Door Price" including tax Should I hold out for $10,100 ? A second dealer told me they couldn't come within $500 of the $10,100 otd, and if the first dealer keeps his word at $10,682, I should go for it. Tell me if you think I have squeezed them enough? Is the one dealer getting a bigger kickback or hungrier for their monthly quota? The dealer that gave up only offered $9,700 on the trade. I hope to make a decision today....before I put more miles on my trade. Luv Hyundai's. This will be my fourth! Pam |

This is a repost, as the moderator removed my original message because I had included the names of salespeople - I guess that's a no-no. BEWARE OF EASTERNS HYUNDAI IN LEESBURG, VA. They are frauds. After reading much info on this site to help my mom buy a new AWD Limited with Touring & Premium package, I was working deals between various dealers in PA, VA, and MD. These guys made a deal with me on the phone for the vehicle we wanted, at 27,000 at 3.9%, plus tax and tags. No one else could match it. It wasn't the color she wanted, so they said they'd honor that deal and try to find the Cherry Red she wants. When they called back and said they couldn't find it, they said they'd sell her the slate blue they had on the lot and give her another 200 off for the color - 26,800. Deal is agreed to, I'm assured there are no other hidden charges, I give them a deposit to hold it until Saturday, and I tell my mom. She's so excited. She says she wants to drive down there herself so she can enjoy the ride home in her new car. She drives the 4.5 hours down from Pittsburgh to Leesburg and they show her the Santa Fe - It has 6200 miles!! They tell her it's a managers demo, and they'll knock off another 500. Then she finds out it's a loaner, used by multiple people. She's livid (as am I). They tell her they'll find her what she wants somewhere else and trade for it but it'll cost another 1200 on top of the agreed to price. No way! After 3 hours in the dealership, with me on the phone, finally talking to the General Manager, saying they thought we knew it was a demo, they decide they can't make it right, fill up her gas tank, and she walks. No way are we going with the obvious bait and switch BS, or the 1200 upcharge for a brand new one (if they were willing to find a cherry red for the same price, then how was this price only for their loaner vehicle?). They keep asking me what will make us happy, and I keep telling them to honor their deal like real businessmen, but they decline, say they can't do it. So I get on the phone with Fitzmall and a dealer in Fairfax, VA, only an hour from where she is, who both have what she wants in stock and are comparable in price to each other (though about 700 more than her original deal at Easterns), but at this point, she's ready to cry and just wants to come home. We made a deal with the nice guys up at Motorworld Hyundai in Wilkes-barre and she'll get hers next Saturday - so there is a silver lining. Not looking for pity or starting a debate, just warning others to STAY AWAY FROM EASTERNS IN LEESBURG. INTERNET AND SHOWROOM SALESMEN PRACTICE BS BAIT AND SWITCH. |
