Re: How do I price a "new" 2007 (demo)? [jswain] by cheapengineer

I bought a Kia Sorento (sister company of Hyundai) demo with 5200 miles on it in May of last year for 66% of sticker. I paid $20.8k, it had a sticker of $31.3 k. There was a $4500 rebate that went to the dealer. The car was basically brand new.
 
Keep in mind that your 2007 Sante Fe is last year's model and no one will want it; they want to dump it. Fortunately for you there isn't much differnce between the 2007 and 2008 so you have a chance to get a great deal. First make sure that it is a new car and has never been titled. This will be true if it was a demo. Check to make sure there was no body damage or repairs or returned as a lemon. Check the internet, sometimes the rebate is higher for the previus year's model.
 
You won't get out of the door for 24 $k because of TTL but if you can get it for $24k take it and be very happy. Start lower than 24. You will enjoy the extras.
 
PS - The better half has a 2007 Sante Fe AWD Limited with the premium package. It is a great car, absolutly no problems, and a great buy for the $$, Its rated #2 by CR.

Thanks, cheapengineer. A couple of questions - how do I find out if there was body damage or repairs, etc.?
 
Also, when you say that if I can get it for $24k, take it and be very happy, do you mean after rebate? So that would mean their price is $26k, then I take off the $2k (assuming it applies), to get to $24k, then add tax, etc.? I think I would have to get them to $25k (before rebate) for me to be able to afford it. That would put me out the door for $24k plus title, tag, etc. I don't know if this is realistic, but I guess I could make an offer and see what they say.
 
Thanks for your help!

2007 SE FWD by jmacpherson

We found a one year old SE for $18,200. at a Honda dealer. It had 9k miles and was in perfect condition. We added leather seats, heated seats and a power driver's seat for a total just over $20,000. We are very happy so far. I realize I gave up a bit of warranty, but I think it was still a good deal. We are getting 22 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. It is a very quiet and well made car.

Willing to work for the best deal by sandykc

I am looking at a Santa Fe GLS, FWD, popular equip pkg, floor mats, cargo tray, first aid kit
 
MSRP $23,975
Sale Price after rebate $19,557 plus $200 doc fee
 
Should I try more on this or is this as good as it will get? No financing involved.
 
This is the first time I am buying a car as a widow and with 2 kids in college, I really need to make the best deal possible. Please help!
 
Do I keep on going back to my select few dealers and ask for a better price?

HI, MSRP $23,975.......Invoice (according to edmunds) about $23,000.....minus rebate = $21,000. Your price of $19557 seems good. The $200 doc fee is PURE PROFIT. The deal is still good at $1250 under invoice. Carefully check your invoice. Don't pay any other fees though. Just tax and DMV ACTUAL fees. What the heck....offer him $19100 and take it from there. The worst he can say is no. Maybe split the difference. Good luck. Tom

See my post #1905 on 3/29. Almost the same deal, though I think I did a little bit better (unless you meant to say it was $22,200 after rebate, in which case you did WAY good.). Enjoy the car!

munkey116, which options or option packages, if any, did you get in your deal? I think $5800 off of MSRP for a 08 SE AWD is a good deal. Congrats.

2007 Bought on E-Bay by ymmot11

In August of 2007 I flew from Boston to Columbus Ohio where I was met at the airport by my new car, and the man who had the title. I met his family, his newer "larger" SUV, then pulled out some plates. Minutes later I was cruisin, sunroof open, in my new ride on a 800 mile trip back to beantown!
 
After 7 months of online SF shopping, and an occasional parking lot tour, I decided on exactly what I wanted, and how much I would pay. 2007 3.3 Liter AWD Limited Pearl White with Black Leather, a sunroof, and with only a few miles. I watched many dealer auctions end with bidders around 25K, and 27K. Then finally I saw the auction I knew was going to be mine.
 
In the end it cost $22,500, $1100 in state taxes, and $500 in air fair, hotel and gas. All in $24,100, but I had the exact car I wanted and for a great price. The guy who sold it was an awesome guy who still owed $29,400 when he sold it! He just needed a larger SUV, and a dealership trade in would have only meant 19K.
 
I have put about 20 thousand miles on it, and I don't have any complaints. The seller and I still stay in contact!
