Replying to: backy (Sep 17, 2007 7:06 pm) 2 different dealers in NJ: (rte. 22) Elantra SE - in color I want - $16345 OTD (Jersey City) Elantra SE - in pretty gray - $16300 OTD and he will include a remote starter.   Both include the 4 year vehicle registration which apparently is now required in NJ.   They are both really nice dealers.

Does anyone know when the 2008 Elantras are supposed to hit the dealer lots? Replies to this message: backy (Sep 18, 2007 9:17 am) yankee23 (Sep 18, 2007 9:32 am) backy (Sep 18, 2007 5:03 pm)

Replying to: butterflytiff (Sep 18, 2007 8:26 am) Assuming these are base SEs (stick shift, no options) and the price before taxes, license, and fees is about $14,500, that's a pretty good deal but not great, given that there's a $1000 rebate and these are '07 models. The 2nd deal is obviously better given you like the color and it comes with a remote starter, for less money. If the car doesn't include mats, ask them to throw those into the deal at least--they're $85 list and you'll want them come winter.   Even if you don't want XM radio, there's two benefits to having it: 1) without it, you get an ugly (IMO) fixed stick antenna on the rear fender, instead of the little bump on the rear of the roof; 2) the next owner of the car may want XM, increasing the resale value.

Replying to: backy (Sep 18, 2007 9:17 am) Has anyone heard of any planned rebates or special finance offers for the 2008 Elantras. I'm buying a car for my daughter and want side air bags, good crash ratings, traction control (we live in ice and snow country) and decent gas mileage. I can't seem to find any models that offer this other than the 2008 Elantra SE. Replies to this message: backy (Sep 18, 2007 5:03 pm)

Replying to: backy (Sep 18, 2007 9:16 am) ah - it is automatic cause I can't drive stick. Good point on the XM. When I go tomorrow I will ask about it. Replies to this message: butterflytiff (Sep 18, 2007 1:34 pm)

Replying to: yankee23 (Sep 18, 2007 9:32 am) You're right, no really good alternatives with all those attributes. Your best bets might be the Optima (hard to find with ESC though), the new Accord LX (kind of pricey), and maybe the Rabbit. None of those have fuel economy quite as good as the Elantra, but come pretty close. The Sonata is another option if a "Acceptable" IIHS side crash test score is OK with you (but the Optima, Accord, and Elantra are unknows there, which might be worse).   We won't know about rebates on the 2008 Elantra until the new incentives come out for October. I think it depends on how many 2007s are left on the lots at that time.
#2177 of 2719 re: Elantra by pattyraz Sep 19, 2007 (6:15 am)
I bought a 2006 Honda Civic for my daughter excellent cash rating, side air bags, and very good gas mileage. We where looking at the Elantra for 2 months, I was not pleased with the fact there is no 2007 data by consumer guide on the new model. Other bloggers earlier in the year stated problems with over-loading the trunk with regards to the rear suspension. Over all Car sales are down by 9% 9/19/07 Replies to this message: backy (Sep 19, 2007 7:00 am)
