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!

Folks,
 
I had an offer for a new 2008 SE AWD + Touring + Premium for about $25,800 + tax, etc. This was after subtracting the $2000 rebate and dealer discount.
 
What do you think? Is this a good price? All other dealers in the area are quoting about $800 more than this price...
 
Would appreciate a quick feedback.
 
Thanks
Sam

Good Deal In Illinois by dgrunt5513

My wife and I just bought a new car yesterday from Gartner Hyundai in Naperville, IL. We purchased a 08' Santa Fe FWD Limited with Navigation for what I believe was an extremely competitive price.
 
Out the door, we settled on $25,199 + T,T,L; they also gave us a very fair offer on our trade in which will allow us to keep our monthly payment below $400. From my limited experience with the Navigation seems as though it is a fairly good device although I still cannot believe that they do not have an AUX for an IPod.

Any guesses on rebates for May? by jswain

I am looking to buy a 2008 SE FWD w/Touring package. None of the dealers in my area have one on the lot, but I have found a dealer who says he can get me one for $23,446 (after rebate, plus tax). The deal is only good until the end of April because he says he does not know what Hyundai will do for rebates in May. Another dealer told me today that he thinks, if anything, the rebates will be higher in May because sales were poor in April (economy). I am going out of town on 4/30, and just don't think I can pull the trigger before I leave. Anyone have any thoughts/guesses on whether the rebates will at least stay the same (i.e. not go lower) for May? I really want this car, but don't want to feel rushed. The sales guys at this dealership are not on commission, so I don't think the price will otherwise be affected by waiting.

As the 2,000 Year Old Man (Mel Brooks) once said, "Never run for a bus, there'll always be another." If you don't want to be rushed, then don't. I think it's unlikely that rebates will go down 5/1, but we won't know for sure until Thursday, right? If I had to bet, I'd bet they'd continue as is. I bought my Santa Fe on 3/28 because I didn't know what would happen April 1st....and nothing did. But I'm glad I got my car when I did. If rebates had gone up, I might have been a little miffed, but meanwhile I've been enjoying the car for a month. It's anybody's guess, but I feel Hyundai's rebates will continue as is thru May. Just don't blame me if they don't.

All of the car companies are very tight-lipped about future rebate plans. There's absolutely no way to know what will be offered beginning May 1st until May 1st gets here. If you don't feel comfortable making a deal until after April 30th, the best thing you can do is wait and hope that the rebate then is at least as much as it is now.

Should I be willing to pay a little more if the car is hard to find? by jswain

I am looking for a 2008 SE FWD w/ Touring, roof rack rails and carpeted floor mats in Powder White Pearl or Platinum Sage. I have spoken to several dealers in my area, and there is no car with the options in my state, and only a couple in even remotely close states. A sales guy has found one for me in an adjoining state, but will have to add the roof rails for me. His offer was $100 over invoice, plus $250 for the rails and installation, $399 doc. fee and $100 for the cost of bringing the vehicle to my state. I am negotiating down from this, but feel like I have a little less leeway since there are so few cars with the options I want in my area. The total cost ends up being about $450 more than Edmunds TMV cost. How far should I push here?

Deals for $1000 UNDER invoice (less rebates) are commomplace on 2008 Santa Fes. In your shoes, I'd start at that number (plus the rails and the $100 for getting it from the other dealer); even if you pay $500 under invoice, it'd be a deal worth taking. As for their $399 documents fee, it's nothing but pure profit for the dealer. If they want to insist on charging it, tell them to reduce the purchase price by the same amount. You should be able to buy it for $500 - $1000 UNDER invoice, LESS rebates, PLUS rails, PLUS $100 transport charge.
 
BTW, regarding the $100 transport charge, how will the car be transported? If they intend to pay someone to drive it from the originating dealer, you might want to think about just picking it up yourself. No way would I allow a complete stranger to drive my new car any significant distance.
