anyone know dealer invoice on 08 gls? by roach21

 I went online and saw that an 07 elantra gls with auto and preff pkg has an MSRP of 15715 but does anyone know what the dealer invoice is and also the dealer invoice for the same 08? I am going to be in Syracuse NY where they have a huge superstore so i want to know what number to walk in the door with so i don't really have to negotiate too much. I bought 2 other cars there before, but currently drive a nissan. Do i get the $500 loyalty rebate?
I was going to say $14400 OTD and not really move too much. What do you guys think?

"I went online and saw that an 07 elantra gls with auto and preff pkg has an MSRP of 15715"
 
i'm not sure where you saw this MSRP but the correct sticker price for this car should be about 16,700. With the 1000 rebate (only on the 07s) that would make it about what you saw, but the rebate is not reflected in the MSRP. You qualify for the owner loyalty ONLY if you currently own another hyundai vehicle.
 
The 08 GLS will sticker for $16,895 (without floor mats) and the invoice is around 16,335 (according to edmunds), so 14,400 OTD would seem very difficult on an 08.

i just looked at an invoice for an 08 GLS with the pref pkg at my dealership. This car also has floor mats. The MSRP is $16,980. Invoice is $16,553. Holdback is $490.
 
So if you bought it at invoice - holdback - rebate, your sale price would be around $15,563. I'm not sure how much taxes are in your area, but to get 14,400 you would need the dealer to lose 1000, plus pay your tt&l.

Just paid $9,560 for new 07 GLS by ashoe

We just picked up a brand new 07 elantra gls (super basic package- no air or stereo) 5 speed for $9,560. The MSRP for this car (with floor mats) was $14,180. We paid Denver tax at 7.2% and the dealer fee (they weren't budging on that), for a total of $10,982 out the door. This dealer (Arapaphoe Hyundai in Centennial, CO) has several more of these cars at this price, but unfortunately they were pretty difficult to work with.
 
Here's my question, though. We want to add a stereo (will still have a brand new one from the car that we replaced) and add tint. They are asking $210 for tint and $135 to put in the stereo. Should I go through the dealer and take these prices? Or can I go through another local dealer and keep my warranty intact? Any ideas on reasonable prices for these things?
 
Thanks.

That's a heck of a price. I don't see where tinting your windows would affect your warranty, as for upgrading the stereo that shouldn't either though might want to have it done somewhere professionally.

$11,850 OTD '05 Elantra GT by pluto8

$11,850 OTD. Black '05 Elantra GT. 28,750 miles. Automatic with Sunroof. Only a few chips. Great condition. One owner. Didn't come with service records or warranty handbook. Didn't really negotiate since KBB and Edmunds showed higher price. Also similar mileage cars of same year were pricier with less options (Lancer, Sentra) and unlikable colors. So I couldn't come up with any reasons to have him lower the price. Aside from the sneaky "5 liner" credit application and subsequent financing speech. Dealer was relatively easy to deal with. Did have an issue with a fuse that prevented the dome lights and stereo from coming on. So during the process of ensuring that it was fixed before I agreed to pay for the car, I forgot to check for the warranty handbook in the glovebox to make sure it was there like he said it was (wasn't). He also didn't give me the Buyer's Guide. The sales contract does state that it comes with the implied warranties so I didn't bother calling him back about that. I'm not sure how the warranty transfer works without service records though and asked a question about it under the warranties topic here. Aside from that, the look and feel of the car is astounding for the price in my opinion. But it feels strange having not negotiated. How well do you think I did?

What was the price before taxes and fees?
 
Did you check the tire wear? The OEM Michelins can be worn down by 30k miles.
 
If you bought from a Hyundai dealer, they should be able to tell you if the car qualifies for the remainder of the 5-year, 60k bumper to bumper warranty.

The car price was $10,500. Title, Registration and Plates were $202. Tax was about $847 at 8.06% Mesa, AZ sales tax and I did pay the $300 documentation fee. The tires were brand new Michelins. Brake pads were new too. I spoke to Hyundai customer service earlier today and they retrieved the VIN and personal information for the transfer and said the missing service records should be no problem so long as the new records and receipts are kept from hereon. Except for lack of ABS and traction control, the car is fully loaded in great condition. Even the Original floor mats look brand new. I'm sure I could have eliminated all or most of the Documentation fee but the fee breakdown didn't interest me as much as the OTD price and since the dealer was well behaved, I didn't feel the need to butt heads. (I also had a bad cold and was loaded on Robitussin) I found a site at Carguru.com that lists average selling prices for mileage ranges and it lists this car at about $12000 although I'm not sure if it's an OTD price.

That's good it has new tires and brake pads; those are two of the things that might wear out fairly early.
 
I'm surprised that the car doesn't have ABS/traction since I thought that for '05 Hyundai bumdled ABS with the moonroof, but maybe that wasn't until '06.
 
Is this the hatch or sedan? I have a '04 GT hatch and I love it.
