Replying to: moonnumack (Sep 11, 2007 7:53 am) Remember, these guys are selling Hyundais, not $150,000 Porsche Turbos. In other words, there are lots of dealers, so don't let one jerk you around. |

Hi all -- I live in Queens NY and just got home with my new Ltd FWD w/Touring, Premium, Floor Mats and Cargo Net in the BEST color, Natural Khaki. Price was $24,700 before TTL. This includes $2000 rebate and dealer markdown of $850 below invoice. Used FitzMall as negotiating yardstick. I "wanted" dealer to match the Delivered Value price, but only got to within $220. BUT, Fitzmall didn't have my color/combo in stock, so I feel the $220 was a wash by getting exactly what I wanted. (FitzMall will not get or locate a car for you at their Internet prices. You gotta buy from inventory.) Dealer was Nemet on Hillside Ave in Jamaica and the buying experience was First Class. My salesman was low key, knowledgeable and honest. My fears of dealing with a "budget" dealer (I'm used to Audi and Saab) were unfounded with these guys.  This SUV was for the wife trading in a '02 Mazda MPV. She saw the new Santa Fe and thought it was a Lexus. I told her it was and we would put it high on our list. I brought her to see a '08 Subaru Tribeca first (I really like the value there) and then brought her to the "Lexus" dealership. She loved the Lexus Santa Fe and quickly declared the search was over. To tell you how clueless she is regarding cars, she had no idea it wasn't a Lexus until I fessed up and showed her the Hyundai web site that evening.  To answer a question above, if your paying cash, get the HMFC $500 rebate and pay of the not at first statement. You'll pay one month interest on 7.3% loan, but for me it was a net gain of $425. Not too shabby on a Lexus!

Just checked the Hyundaiusa.com site, and they are still showing the $1000 rebate, but Edmunds.com shows the newer $1500 rebate which goes until Oct. 1. Gee, I wish I had thought of doing the financing for another $500 rebate and then paying it off instead of doing a cash deal right off the bat. We would have had a $2500 rebate (incl. military rebate). Been driving my new Santa Fe for 5 days and LOVE it so far! I just ordered the Weathertech floorliners for 1st and 2nd row to keep my light gray carpet from getting dirty. Got them for $159.90 at Autobarn.com ($5 off with SEP07 coupon code) |

Hmmmm, looks like the $500 rebate for financing might have gone away as they bumped the $1000 up to $1500.
