Replying to: newcarbuyer18 (Sep 03, 2009 7:09 pm) I negotiated this deal with the salesman on the evening of Sept 3rd. Since it was closing time and I needed my wife to also sign on the purchase, they told me to come back on Sept 5th to finalize things. The salesman also wanted to get the final approval from either the GM or owner (can't remember which), since this was a below-invoice deal. I come in on the 5th, and we go through the terms of the deal again. We are only $12 apart (due to them assuming 15 days of interest before my trade-in is paid off vs. me assuming 5 days). The salesman asks me to initial indicating that I'll buy today on those terms and he'll get the sales manager's approval. He comes back and says, "oops, I made a mistake. The used car manager was already assuming $1,000 of bonus cash in your trade-in offer, but didn't tell me that before." So essentially, they were raising the price of the car by a $1,000 right before it was time to sign. The salesman seemed somewhat embarrassed, so I like to think it was an honest mistake, but given that we had the used car manager and sales manager involved in the process just two days prior, I have doubts. This really soured what was otherwise a decent, low-pressure experience at this dealer. I walked and won't be bringing my business to them. Elyria Hyundai in Elyria, Ohio.

Let's put it this way... you never know what the real sale price is, until you are finished the paperwork and driven away.. |

A local Denver dealer (the one I bought my SE from a year or so ago) is advertising an '09 GLS with AWD, MSRP $24,470 for $16,795 - and you STILL get the $1.49 gas for a year.
