Replying to: newbie79 (Apr 16, 2008 10:07 am) I think it depends on how comfortable you feel with the dealership and how you approached them for a price and don't forget the attitude of the salesman you dealt with. I handled all of my negotiations by phone and email and was very satisified with the experience.   I think I would ask to speak to another salesman or the sales manager, let them know your serious about buying, that you've done your research and know the price you want to pay. In my case I found the lowest price out of state and asked if they would match it which they did. There are some dealers that have set prices and will not negotiate. Be prepared to walk if your not satisfied. You should be able to do quite well with the slow economy, someone wants to sell you a car.

Replying to: slateblue (Apr 16, 2008 11:33 am) Thank you. I am dealing with dealerships via email - I find this so efficient   That is a good tip - to get a price quote from out of state. I will do some more digging around.   I have another question - is it true that the price of a 2008 vehicle will differ significantly depending on how old it is i.e., 3 months vs. 8 months?   Were they manufactured differently or is the price simply based on the wear and tear a car will sustain from being out on the lot longer?

Is there more room to negotiate if you pay off your vehicle in one lump sum?   How much room do you typically have if you offer this?
#1948 of 2638 Pricing differences in 2008 Santa Fe by newbie79 Apr 16, 2008 (1:28 pm)
I was told that older 2008 hyundai models are priced lower than newer 2008 models.   Is this true?   If this is so, how much is the typical price difference?   Thank you.

Replying to: newbie79 (Apr 16, 2008 1:28 pm) Well, it's not exactly that they're priced lower - It's just that you may find a dealer is more willing to deal and offer a lower price on a vehicle that's been sitting on his lot for a while. The "holdback" is intended to compensate the dealer for finance charges while the car sits...but after a while, that's used up. Of course, I would expect a car that didn't have XM (that would be REALLY old) to be less also.   The flip side of this is that, with car sales in the dumper anyway, you should be able to get an exceptional price on ANY SF. Let's see...gas on its way to $4 a gallon, big heavy vehicle that struggles to break 20 MPG, Hmmmmm.....   (Disclaimer: I got a great deal, and I love the car. I took the mileage ratings into account, but after three weeks I've never gotten less than 22.5 MPG. But I live in a rural area, with mostly highway miles. A traffic jam is a farmer on a tractor.)

Replying to: denvertrakker (Apr 16, 2008 2:29 pm) Oh, so there are 2008 models without XM radio?   What do you think of this deal:   2008 Santa Fe AWD SE - no options, no additonal packages for $23,079 (after rebate)? This is their first offer - listed on their website. Replies to this message: denvertrakker (Apr 16, 2008 4:32 pm) buco (Apr 17, 2008 6:36 am)

Replying to: newbie79 (Apr 16, 2008 12:19 pm) Sometimes the manufacturer increases prices incremently as their costs go up, compare sticker prices to see if that has happened. In the 2007 model year Hyundai made running production changes that added XM radio and added door activated map lighting and the price was increased. Destination charge also increased. Date of manufacture is shown on the inside of the driver door jamb. As someone stated dealers are motivated to move cars that have been on their lots for awhile.   XM radio is standard on all 2008 Santa Fe's, any without are early 2007 models.(check the mfg date!) Look over any new car you consider carefully, it should have no wear and tear.

Replying to: newbie79 (Apr 16, 2008 3:08 pm) I think you can do better. I paid 24,199 for my car, WITH premium package, floor mats, roof rails, wheel locks and cargo tray. If you back all of that out of what I paid, my price for what you're looking at would have been approximately 22,123. Make 'em sweat.
