If the dealer started at invoice, did you get them to go lower? I live in Erie, PA and was trying to see how likely i can get one below invoice plus the rebates. I noticed in Pitt, Pa they are taking 7k off, but the warrantly started on them in sept.

They didn't go below invoice, but they did give me the Bluetooth equipment and free installation. I didn't push them much to go below invoice because I'd been looking for awhile and they had "the one" that my wife wanted and supposedly no more coming in 'til the 09s come out (their supply is obviously getting smaller). Based on what others are paying, I thought this deal was in line, so I took it.
 
As far as the ones in Pitt. . .they must be demo vehicles. . .I could have had a demo, but I think you're taking your chances with one--it might have a warranty, but you're still getting a used vehicle--just my two cents.
 
Don't forget to figure the cost of financing into the final price--most people overlook that. They'll tell ya that they got it "out-the-door" for $22,900, but they're financing it at 7.5% for 5+ years (yikes).
 
Good luck and let us know how ya make out!

Take a look at this dealer:
http://www.alexandriahyundai.com/
 
Their price is the lowest we get around the DC area. For a '08 SE LTD, their current offer is $22,900 OTD (6% Tax) or $24,900 OTD with 0% APR for 36 months.
 
Any comment about this deal?

With interest, you're still paying about $6000 less then I did with the Limited with Navi and Touring. Is your's brand new off the lot? And where are you located? Thanks.

Yes, brand new, had to go to Raleigh to pick it up from a sister store. I'm in Kernersville and bought from Greensboro.

"Is it common that Hyundai itself is keeping cars in their warehouse/lot for so many months? Thanks!"
 
HMMA (Hyundai Motors Manufacturing Alabama) was cranking out the Santa Fes and Sonatas pretty fast the beginning of the year.
 
Literally, as they roll off the line another company takes control of the vehicles. This company preps the cars/SUVs for shipment then loads them onto trucks to be shipped to various storage lots in Montgomery (and a few in Columbus, GA, too.) From there, the vehicles are processed and placed on appropriate trucks/rail cars to be delivered to dealers around the country (note that models destined for Canada are built in Montgomery then shipped to Canada.) The build dates and the on the lot dates can vary drastically, for several reasons including:
 
Dealer orders
 
Custom orders - believe it or not, your vehicle ordered from the factory was probably already built when the dealer submits the paperwork, the shipper then checks inventory and arranges shipping of your vehicle, along with other vehicles destined for your dealer and others near by
 
Sales figures - when gas prices shot up faster than a diabetic's blood sugar in a Hershey's store guess what vehicle was not really in demand... that's right, the Santa Fe. It's a lot easier to store built vehicles and the ones scheduled to come off the line for the next 2-4 weeks than it is to stop all together and focus solely on Sanatas.
 
Proximity to HMMA - obviously the southern states will get vehicles built sooner than states way out west or Hawaii or Alaska. Besides, for years the Southern states were Hyundai's largest market so the established dealers in the South got pick of the litter and larger inventories (much to their chagrin now, since next model year inventories are based on previous model year sales...)
 
Building to trends - say green was the hot color last model year. Well a good portion of the next model year will be built in that popular color. Trim levels are done the same way - you'll have to wait for a base AWD model, but will have your pick of the mid-level 2WD model. When trends change, the models already built get stored until dealers order them to build up inventory.
 
(My stepdad works at HMMA, that's my source.)
