Replying to: fano3 (Nov 08, 2007 11:57 am) sales tax=7.3/8% Registration= $550, (You have to go to DMV yourself) The Misc BS totaled about $600 (which I promptly put a line thru).. .Told them it was a deal killer, packed up my stuff, check book first, it was then that they agreed to remove it . Luckily my credit is quite good and they figured I wasn't kidding!!!! I think that $$$ was for advertising and 'make dealer ready" etc (probably included a single cup of coffee too, with creme being A LA CARTE!)"). Told them they could pay for their own advertising. Figured I had pretty much reached "that point" and I wanted that car!!!!!! Oh, I guess that also included them taking the nplastic off the seats too LOL. I know I paid a bit too much, but you had to consider the time of year, w/snow on the ground, and that the Santa Fes were selling well + west coast pricing! I knew better too...ya never buy a 4 wheel drive anything during winter in Reno, NV I got lucky, since it snowed a couple of days later and there were no 4 wheel drives around for any price!!. I only got to drive the SF two times before it melted but if I recall, it really handled well...NO SKIDDING AT ALL, (that stability control was great! in about 6 inches of snow....it went exactly where you pointed it, no matter what. I had a Mini Cooper that also has=d ESD...good but nothing as good as this was...The Mini only saw snow once since it stayed in its own garage bay for the winter! MY GARAGE TOY! I live on a side st in the burbs, and we usually have snow up to a foot or so high before a plow shows up (or I should say...IF THEY SHOW UP!). Ya need the 4 WD to make it into the garage under most conditions!  As soon as it snows here, prices go up as do the dealer's willingness to "talk". Hell, they put the "dealer add" ticket on next to the factory one and usually start there as a sell price. There is ONE street in town that most of the dealers are located on...right now you can shoot bowling balls down it....lots of trucks for sale...no buyers! If it snows early, that will reverse VERY soon! |

Got a Hyundai Santa Fe SE FWD without any options. Color is Deepwater Blue. Price is $24147 drive out including 5.5% WI tax, doc and title. Because I do not want to pay any down payment, I did not take the $1500 cash rebate. If take it, I would have to pay interest rate 8.* % which I cannot accept. Thus, I took the $500 financial rebate only and have a 2.9% rate 48 months loan with no down payment. Based on that, the price the dealer offered to me is the invoice $23700 and $23200 after $500 financial rebate. I offered $22000 (after rebate) but it seems that it is far away from what they can accept. Finally, we reached at somewhere in between, $22650 before tax, title and doc. I got the car from Madison, WI west Zimbrick Hyundai. The dealer Mr. Han is a nice person and do not talk and push too much. But the manager who came out after I offered the $22000 price is rude and aggressive. I felt unhappy about him and chose to leave when he did not accept $22500. Mr. Han could take $22600 but the price on the contract had to be $22650 and he would personally pay me the $50 back. I know this is probably a typical dealer trick, but still appreciated his attitude and effort for selling the car to me. So I finally accepted the offer at $22650 and did not take the $50 when he gave it to me. The final price I paid is then $24147 drive out including 5.5% WI tax, doc and title. I also tested drive a Mitsubishi Outlander LS AWD last weekend. The dealer could offer me $23500 drive out with a %1.9 rate of 48 months loan, which, I believe, is a very good price. But the interior of Outlander is kind of cheap and so I decided to test drive a Santa Fe first. I feel Santa Fe is all the way better than Outlander although the AWD model is about 2k more expensive than Outlander. So finally I choose Santa Fe FWD because there are not many AWD left. Hope my experience will help. Thanks |
