However, I'm about to file a report with the Better Business Bureau because they've refused to refund the $100 deposit I put down to hold the car, even though it was written in the contract.
 
I'm confused. You're purchasing a car from them. Because of that, you owe them $13,200 and you want a $100 deposit back. Won't the deposit go towards the purchase price? Or are you saying in addition what you need to pay them for the car they've taken your $100 deposit?

I already purchased the car. I had to make a "good faith" deposit of $100 the friday before my car was delivered to insure that I would show up to purchase it. (It was essentiallly a hold on my credit card.) Contractually, the $100 was to be refunded the day I purchased the car. It wasn't. And it's taken me more than a month and more than 10 phone calls to get them to honor the contract.

So you finally got the $100 back. Good.
 
$13,200 (before taxes) for a GT 5-door with sunroof and mudflaps seems to me like a very good price -- particularly if it has automatic transmission.
 
By comparison, at a Minneapolis Hyundai dealer, I recently purchased a silver 5-door similarly equipped (with sunroof and mudflaps) for $13.500 OTD. However, it's a manual.
 
 If yours is an automatic, I think you got a better deal.

New 2005 Elantra GT sedan, automatic transmission, moonroof, anti-lock brakes and traction control, mudguards. Purchase price $13,600 plus tax, license and document fee. There was only one like it among 4 different dealerships. The MSRP was $17,649 I think. Sound about right?

It sounds like an excellent price. At $13,600, the car would be selling for $2,130 below the posted invoice price for that package, which is $15, 730. The dealer would seem to be selling at a considerable loss.
 
Of course, we all know that invoice prices are routinely inflated. Still, $13,600 (plus tax, licence and document fee) looks to me to be a very good price for what you're getting.

cooper243... could you elaborate a bit on the deal you got? I am shopping for the same vehicle in central ohio. was yours auto or 5spd? which dealer? what was the msrp? I assume you took the $1500 rebate instead of the special rate?

I went to Hatfield Hyundai. It is an automatic with cruise control, moonroof, cd player with 7 speakers. The msrp was $15,100 or $16,100 and I did take the $1500 cash back Email me if you want to know my salesman.

Hi all, this seems a great and helpful forum, been reading for a couple of hours, thanks to those who help.
 
Ok, I'm in the market for a 2005 GT fully loaded, got some e-quotes, checked newspaper ads. Test drove one, loved it. Seems I can work out a $12,500 price after the $1,500 discount, before TTR. I also get the sense with end of month, quarter and half-year it could go lower.
 
Problem I have: it's not available in black, only in silver, amof. There's the GLS available in black, but isn't the hatchback (which I'm told is closer to the GT suspension?) , and a lot of things apparently are missing in GLS compared to GT (I know about the leather seats, that's ok, I didn't like the leather seats on the one I test drove).
 
Would like to know:
 
(a) What major things in GT are missing in GLS with all options (I don't care about moon roof).
 
(b) How's this price for this late in the season? Some posts here seem to have found ads under 10,000...
 
(c) Any other suggestions you have?
 
[I'm trying to make a decision between settling for a silver GT with all I want, and a black GLS which is missing things and I don't know what they are...)]
 
Thanks for reading, and your help.
