Looking to buy Elantra by nashes

HI,
I am in the market for a new car. I test drove the hyundai elantra today and i am impressed. Just wondering how much (without the taxes or other fees) would could I expect to pay for the 06 Elantra GLS 4-door with the premium package (mainly for the ABS)?
Anybody in the Buffalo area here know some good dealers and what did you pay for the 06 elanta?
Also, since the ABS is going to be standard in the 07 models, should I wait for them? (they have the $1000 rebate now that may not be offered for the 07 model).
I appreciate your inputs.

That Hyundai dealer isn't budging much on the Elantras, or they're loaded. One of my local dealers is advertising Elantras for a little over $12k.
 
The problem with the deal on the Sentra is, then you have to live with the Sentra. I'd take the Elantra any day over the Sentra, even if the Elantra cost more.

Nah, I don't think all 18 Elantras are loaded. I think the dealer is just proud of them after having a good month selling them in July. They also need a new detail person.
 
As for the Nissan. They have a longer reliability record than Hyundai. Of course Hyundai has moved up fast, and I'm happy with mine.
 
I bought a new 1995 Nissan trk for $13,000 11 yrs ago, that's more than the price of the 2006 Sentra today.
I gave the trk to my daughter as a wedding present in 1997.
Her husband is still driving it to work daily, and the only problem was the radio giving out, that was replced under warranty.
He's still getting offers from TX mexicans that want to buy it.

we also owned a 95 nissan truck, bought new. they had to replace the engine at 33,000 miles because of a defect in alot of that year trucks.I guess you were lucky. We also owned a 87 maxima bought new that had the transmission replaced two times under warranty. Another defect. we still like nissan and were considering buying a maxima but bought a hyundai instead.

FYI . . . O'Brien Auto Park in Urbana, IL has at least a dozen 2006 Elantra GLS sedans in stock. Most colors, some sunroofs, etc., but no hatchbacks. They just moved to a new location, and combined their two separate dealerships in the Champaign-Urbana area into one new monster store with multiple buildings. They sell the following: Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Scion, Mazda, VW, Mitsubishi, and Chrysler at this new facility.
 
And, they have at least 20 2006 and 2007 Sonatas in stock as well, including several 2006 GLS V6 and 4-cylinder models.
 
If anyone looking for an Elantra is reasonably near east central IL, you might want to contact them. I know they are dealing on the Elantras and the 2006 Sonatas.
 
I have no interest (pecuniary) in this, but just thought I would mention it. I bought my 2006 Elantra elsewhere last December (Pugi in Downers Grove, IL) as O'Brien didn't have any stock at the time.

>One of my local dealers is advertising Elantras for a little over $12k. < I'm not sure I believe that backy. That doesn't sound like a real world price to me. The TMV best price with NO options, not even floor mats after $1,000 rebate is $13,618.

My local Hyundai dealer(fairfax Hyundai) has tons of AT GLS's for $12,300.
 
Tax, Tag, destination, etc... is still around $1200 here for an OTD price of $13,500.
 
So it seems very believable to me.

OK, thanks for calling me a liar.
 
The lowest TMV price in my area, with the $1000 rebate, is $12,798. But you can throw "TMV" out the window when it comes to what is possible with real-world prices. I bought both of my Elantras for well under the "TMV" price. I guess you don't believe that, either.
 
With all-new '07 Elantras coming soon, consider that dealers that still have a good supply of '06s might offer really good prices on them to get rid of them before those all-new models arrive. It's very possible that HMA is offering dealers some extra incentive cash to clear the way for the '07s.
 
I expect the advertised price I saw included all rebates, including the $500 loyalty rebate. Invoice on the base GLS is $13,751. Less $1500 in rebates is $12,251. A very doable "teaser" price.
