That Was Fun! by dealmaker22

First, thanks for all of the great info in these posts. I bought an SF LTD FWD with option 36 (Premium +Touring) yesterday. Here's what I did... After reading dozens of these posts I found that Fitzgerald (Fitzmall.com) in MD had the best (credible) advertised online prices. Decided on my model, printed the price details out and went to the newest local Hyundai dealer - they're popping up all over and anxious to meet quota. Fitzmall shows a no nensense out the door delivered price before TT&L so there's no way to slip in dealer add-ons like asteroid resistant finishes, VIN etching, save the children, etc. It would only cost me $200 to fly to MD and pick up the car. So, that's my limit. Salesman choked, gagged, and writhed on the floor in agony. After the usual manager games and my starting for the door once or twice, the owner stepped in and made the deal. $24,800 with rebates before TT&L with pkg 36, XM, mats, all-important full tank of gas, and a free keychain (wow!). Also picked up the $25 gift card for the test drive (see Hyundai website) - damn, I'm cheap. Great folks in the dealership but they'll have to make serious money on someone else. Last day of the shortest month didn't hurt. Know your walkaway price and be prepared to justify it. Do both and they'll never let you leave without a car. Email me if you want the dealer's name. I'm in Charlotte, NC. BTW, I have absolutely no idea why I wanted a third row seat.

How did you get such a low price? Is yours a DEMO? MSRP is around $29,800 for that vehicle. Plus the add ons for mats and cargo cover, you are over 30K. Rebates are $1500 if you get owner loyalty. How did you do this...
 
I am going tomorrow to purchase SF AWD LTD base model and was quoted $24,987. They said they would match any offer I got.

Im not sure if its because we are a returning customer(bought a vw golf a few years ago from them), or because we put $4500 down, or because we didnt originally want AWD or a sunroof but they had it on their lot and wanted to get sell it instead of finding the exact car we wanted. We are so glad we got the AWD! The price we agreed on was 25,884 minus 1500 in rebates making it 24,384. We did extend the bumper to bumper warranty to 70,000 miles for an additional 1293.00(not sure how great of a deal that was). But we agreed on the purchase price long before we talked about the extended warranty. $500 of that rebate was an auto show rebate, we were not eligible for the owner loyalty rebate.
Hope this helps. Oh, and it was not a demo, it had 12 miles on it.

That is pretty good. That is about what I paid for my SE AWD, prem pkg, but I didn't want leather or the climate control (i just *(&^*()^*()^)*& hate the climate control). I much prefer the manual set whatever temp air to whereever I want. Good luck. Enjoy yours, I am mine.

I believe the resale value and quality rankings for mitsubishi is far worse than for hyundai. Other than that, fairly similar.

"I believe the resale value and quality rankings for mitsubishi is far worse than for hyundai. Other than that, fairly similar."
Do you have any proof to your claim? I tought so. With 1000 - 1500 rebates on new Santa Fe and none on Outlander I wouldn't be so sure. Time will tell. Reliability and quality has been always pretty good on Mitsubishi's made in Japan, not so on model made here with Chrysler in the 80',that's truth. On the other hand, Hyundai and reliability were never used in the same sentence not that far back. IMO both are good now and it is a matter of personal choice.

Thanks to you I was able to use that quote and get my dealer to match the price. Of course I had to contact Dean and get them to offer me that so I could present it to my dealer here in Pittsburgh.

Which dealer in Pittsburgh did you use? I'm close to Cochran and will be looking to purchase a Limited in a few months.

I just contacted Dean and they said your price was due to
 
<< Thank you so much for your email. I can match the price you emailed me about. But those people had a owner loyalty rebate of $500, active military rebate of $500, and a recent college grad rebate of $400. Do You qualify for all these. Let me know!!!>>
 
yet you say it was an auto show rebate, and you didn't previously own a Hyundai...
 
What's the story?
 
I'm looking for the same package, just a different color -- platinum sage/beige AWD Limited w/ XM, sunroof, mats, cargo tray.
