Is Hyundai still a super value?

I got into my 2003 GLS 5M w/ air, cruise for $11,400. Looking at a comparable 2007 GLS with option pkg. 03 it looks like it would be more like $14,500. The $500 loyalty incentive just disappeared this month. Granted there are are more goodies in the base model such as ABS and a gazillion air bags but some of this stuff just seems like more things to go wrong. Plus they eliminated the lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat - oh my aching back!

invoice is about $15,000, plus the $1000 rebate, and if you finance with hyundai you can get another $500 in bonus cash. so $13,500 is a reasonable price for a GLS manual elantra. while this price is higher than what you paid in 03, it is still a great value when compared to the competition. Prices on all things rise, and for $2k more than you paid 4 years ago, you can get a better car.

Edmunds lists the invoice at $15,006, the TMV at $14,447 (includes the $1000 incentive). I believe the $1000 incentive goes away if financed through Hyundai and I don't see any $500 financing incentive listed anywhere. I would plan to pay cash anyway so this wouldn't be an issue but this still leaves it at $14,006 assuming I could get it at the invoice price - a big assumption.

What would a Civic LX 4-door cost? Or a Corolla LE with ABS and side airbags? Then add an extended warranty to those prices. Even at $14k, the Elantra GLS with pkg 3 is a good value. I wish I could get a loaded Limited with automatic and moonroof for the $13k + T&L I paid for my loaded GT three years ago, but I think those days are gone. So are the days of getting a Civic LX for under $11k, which I did in 1988.

Unless I missed something, Hyundai is offering $2,000. general rebates through April 30. Military rebate of $500. if qualified. Or low APR financing. At least in the Northern California area.

if you finance with hyundai with their regular rates, you get 500 bonus cash in addition to the 1000 rebate. hyundai doesn't charge a fee if you payoff early, so finace with them, then pay it off in 3 months.

even if you paid sticker (around 15,600) for the GLS model, and got the 1000 rebate, this car would still be a better value than every single competitor as far as price per options.

True - it is good value - just not as compelling as it used to be. The things I could do without on the base model:
ABS
Rear disc brakes
Electronic brakeforce
Power windows
The things I could do without in pkg 03:
172 watt stereo
fog lights
Perhaps with these deletions pricing might be even more attractive.
