A reporter is looking to speak to consumers who have recently purchased a compact SUV in the past six months. If you’ve downsized from a larger SUV, please let me know. Please send your daytime phone number to ctalatiedmunds.com by Friday, October 2, 2009.

Thanks to all who have posted before; I hope this post will also help others.
 
Did the internet/phone contact route and was down to a local dealership and Doug's Hyundai in Lynnwood, about 80 miles away. We ended up with this deal from Doug's:
 
MSRP: 31,945 (pearl white, mats, bluetooth)
Invoice: 30,131 (this includes $150 advertising)
Price after $2K rebate applied: 27,431, or $700 under invoice. And, they threw in an iPod cable, outside of the deal. Odometer = 9 miles.
 
All in all, it took about 3 hours to do a test drive, haggle over the trade in/doc fees, do the paperwork - which took the longest since I read everything! - and transfer our stuff from our trade in. We had called ahead, said we'd be down with our trade in, but made no commitments (and hadn't decided to buy going in). When we arrived the Santa Fe was washed and parked out front, ready for a drive. Paperwork was already started on the chance we might buy. (It was a VERY slow day.) After we agreed to a deal, the salesman covered all the new owner items while the finance guy prepared his paperwork. While we were signing papers, the car was filled with gas and our trade was brought around and parked next to it, so we could transfer our stuff easily. Nicely orchestrated, very little wasted time and no feeling of pressure.
 
If I've missed anything relevant, I'll try to answer.

I'll have to look at my paperwork again to see the exact price, but yes, that sounds about right. We are 1.5 hours from Fayetteville as well but it was worth the drive. Prior to that, we were trying to get a deal in Cary. There are no deals in Cary

Hi - does anyone on this forum have an experience buying through carmax? Is it true that it follows no haggle pricing. Is it liek a crime to even think about price haggling in carmax?
 
Also, can anyone please give a fair OTD for 2009 basic SantaFe in CA?
 
Thanks much

A GLS base FWD model (automatic) at invoice is 22,896 plus 750 destination charge = 22,846. Minus 2,000 rebate for September = 20,846. In August $1250 dealer cash was being offered for the north east (this month I believe it was 1,000 OR 1,000 trade in cash- so less was being offered for September). If I subtract August's 1250, that makes this vehicle 19,600. We bought one in August and have decided to buy a second, but are waiting until a better deal is offered (since the dealer cash went down and we are not impressed with gas lock as gas is now down to $2.20 where we live). You cannot get this vehicle for "mid 17k" right now. IF you wanted a manual, you may be able to get that for around 18ishK. But no one wants a manual. (nor do I).
 
I hope prices drop for October because I know all the dealerships in NJ have had a terrible September.
 
I also won't buy a second until there is a significant increase in dealer cash or rebate or loyalty rebate, etc.

Shivelyt,
     Local dealerships here in the northeast have told me that the Hyundai plant in Alabama is still sending 09 models and that the 2010 models will not come out until 2010 sometime. I know in my area there are still 09's coming in and a lot still around.

I looked over my paperwork.
MSRP was $29,885
OTD was $25,706
That includes license, title, sales tax, destination fee, doc fee, everything. The only thing not included in that number was my actual trade in. I had an old clunker. The Cary dealership offered me $300. They Fayetteville dealership offered $1000. So my final price was actually $24,706
 
I didn't haggle at all. I almost choked when they said my trade-in was good for $1000. I would've been happy with $600.
 
Good luck with your purchase and let me know how it goes for you. We love our new car!

Thank you so much reserved. We live in Cary, and we thought the price was high also at the Hyundai in Cary. My husband has since called Greensboro and Fayeteville - both of which were about $1,000 less than the price we were quoted in Cary. Thanks for all your help. Glad to hear you love the vehicle.

The other difference with the Cary store is the doc fee was higher and they offered less for the trade-in. But since you live here too, you probably aren't surprised by that. I love living in Cary, but it isn't known for bargains.
