#1777 of 3257 Re: Elantra SE under $16k OTD? [sharon15] by joe131 Mar 29, 2007 (9:34 pm)
Replying to: sharon15 (Mar 29, 2007 7:24 pm) Did you ACTUALLY make the dealer a written offer on a specific car to buy at $16,000 out the door? If you have not yet done that, do it. If he says no, then walk out the door, get into your old car and drive to the next Hyundai dealer. But if he says yes, give him the money and drive your new car home. Forget about asking for "quotes". You don't need no steeenking "quotes". No one does.
#1779 of 3257 Good Advice by sandman46 Mar 30, 2007 (12:59 pm)
Also, saw a new Elantra in the dark gray color and I think it looks the best on this car. A red stripe would make it look awesome. If you find the exact car you want, make an OTD offer and see what happens. Tomorrow is the end of the month and they just might want to push another unit out the door.   The Sandman Replies to this message: backy (Mar 30, 2007 1:42 pm)

That price is based dealer price $1K under invoice and $1K general rebate plus, if qualified $500 owner loyalty). To this they add $189 doc fee + tax/registration. We bought a Sonata SE XM from them 5 weeks ago. MSRP was $22080. We paid $16651 + $189 + $200 for reg fees (which included a temporary NJ registration [???] + plus 6% CT sales tax on pre-rebate price for an OTD of $18,189. The total rebates on the Sonata at that time were $2500 and they were selling at $1800 below invoice. Our price difference for Sonata SE compared to Elantra Limited was between $1500 & $1600. The Sonata deal is $300 less attractive now than in Feb. But you may want to compare a Sonata GLS to the Elantra SE.   We're near Bridgeport & New Haven CT, if that means anything to you as a reference point. It was about 100 miles to the dealer, one way. Towne Hyundai is about 30 to 45 minutes from the Tappan Zee Bridge.   I just checked Edmund's reported invoice price. Including floor mats, the Elantra SE is $16880 before TTL & doc fee. Take off $2K (or $2500 w/ loyalty) and you'll be very close to that $16K. If necessary, finance $1K for a year. The finance charges won't be very much (although APR may look real high, due to fixed cost built into the loan).

Replying to: rbunc (Mar 27, 2007 4:22 am) Did you pay a documentation fee? Or the $800 is only tax and TTL? Replies to this message: remag1234 (Apr 11, 2007 6:33 am)

Replying to: theonehe (Apr 10, 2007 8:47 pm) The documentation fee is another BS charge. It's just another way to get more money from the buyer. Sadly it's the same as S&H that so many vendors have added to their pricing. The CarStealers keep coming up with more fees to jackup the price. Does anyone remember some of the following: Undercoating, Clearcoat and a host of other low cost items charged at High prices. Some service departments charge Shipping fees for parts. That's the reason I call them CarStealers. Tip for the day: Keep your car for at least 6-10 years. After 4 years the car starts to pay you back. If everyone did that, prices would come down.
#1784 of 3257 NJ Dealers by prosource1 Apr 11, 2007 (7:18 am)
I warn anyone about dealers in NJ. My experience has been disappointing. They advertise a price and upon arrival the circus begins and the show can get pretty ugly. BE WARNED! I have been lied to, deceived, have had my keys held, etc. Be warned. If the deal is too good to be true, it is! Replies to this message: percussionist (Apr 11, 2007 9:44 am)

Replying to: prosource1 (Apr 11, 2007 7:18 am) I really hope that you called the police when the dealer held your keys. It is illegal.   A little advice for everyone out there.   1. When you go to look at cars for the first time, bring a clipboard with you. Besides making it easy for you to take notes about the cars you are seeing, it is excellent sales person repellant. My wife and I went to three different dealers with the clipboard and not one sales person bothered us. We went back in without the clipboard and were immediately addressed at all three dealers.   2. If you are having a trade evaluated, give them the valet key (or a spare). This way, if they try to hold your keys, they can keep it and not your house key. You can always leave and go back later with a police officer to demand the return of your spare key. I've also noticed that dealers who attempt this only do it to people who come in alone.   3. Bring a friend - preferably someone who does not gain from your purchase. This person will be objective and not allow you to overspend (you should determine what the car is worth before you leave home, not at the dealership).   All that being said, there are many great dealers who want to work hard to earn your business. It's too bad that some of the bad ones remain and make the experience so nerve inducing for people.
#1786 of 3257 Key Return by remag1234 Apr 11, 2007 (11:07 am)
The first rule when bringing your car for a trade-in is" NEVER let anyone drive your car unless you're with them. No excuses, you just stay with your car while they inspect/drive it. This avoids a multitude of irritating things that could happen.
