You can do better. The Towne Hyundai group also owns Stateline Hyundai in Phillipsburg NJ, just over the bridge from Easton, PA (an hour north of Philly). They have made me several great offers on various models, (my bad for not pulling the trigger). The internet guys have as much integrity as I have found in the car business, they don't jerk you around. I will be going to them this week to make a deal on an Elantra for my wife. Will post when I get firm numbers.

The Elantra GLS w/ the popular pkg has an invoice of $16,365
                                                                            - 1,000 Rebate
                                                                              $15,365
                                                                            - $500 DISCOUNT

Whicha dealership could discount the car an extra $200-300.

Got the 08 Elantra GLS PZEV with auto transmisson and popular options package (not the sunroof one) plus floor mats and cargo net at Clay Hyundai in Norwood MA on Thursday, 2/28. MSRP with options was around 17,100 or so. Got the car for 15,500, minus the 1,000 rebate. So got the car for 14,500 and took "conventional" financing since I have high credit score. Very happy with the deal. Sharp car, very nice ride. That 14,500 is without taxes, doc fees, etc. OTD is a garbage method of computing because sales tax is different state to state, dealer doc fees are different, reg fees are different. What's important is the final price you pay for the car yourself!!!

Towne Hyundai updated its website today. The Elantra, including rebates is $3950 below invoice. (Sonata $4900 below invoice. )
 
These prices are good from now through March 31. None of that end of the month BS...the prices are good now and will not change (up or down) until April.

Good Price? by thndrstm

I ended up biting the bullet for an 2008 Elantra SE(Consumer reports say that is a necessity to get the ESC) with Spoiler(which I didn't particularly want) and Floor mats.
 
Paid 14850. They threw in 10 oil changes too.
 
Dealership will give me tires for life if I follow their maintenance schedule(including alignments every 12,000 miles). Is that worth doing?

Please explain how you got the price to 14,850.
 
Rebates, haggling, etc.
 
Leave out taxes, trade in, all that jazz, etc.
 
Thanks!

Why not go for the free tires? They can wear out faster than you might think (the OEM Michelins on my 2001 Elantra needed replacement after 30k miles). But are the alignments free, and if not do you need to have them done at the dealership and how much do they cost? Also, will the dealer give you the same tires or some that are the same size, but might not be the same quality as the OEM tires?

My price included all taxes tags etc, so take out 4.1 percent Virginia taxes so the pretax amount is about 14,240. My method was to call up Towne Hyundai in Denville, NJ which was recommended here. They gave me a price on the phone(they had only 1 SE with a sunroof which I didn't want). The dealership here said they would beat any legit price, and they did. The whole process took less than an hour. If you want the name of the dealer I used, let me know.
 
The dealer said the current rebate is 1500, not 1000 as listed on the Hyundai site plus there is additional undisclosed dealer cash.
 
I don't know if the free tires is a good deal as having to get alignments every 12000 miles plus ALL recommended maintenance will be a lot, and Costco has reasonable priced tires with road hazard warranty.

Free tires for life, is just a gimmick..
 
It's best to just ignore it, and make your maintenance decisions, independent of that...

08 Elantra from Towne Hyundai by zdizek

Hey everyone, I got this quote from Towne Hyundai. Has anyone dealt with them in the past or currently? I emailed some local dealers in Massachusetts where im from and they told me they all buy the cars from the same place at the same price so this offer must be a gimmick to get me into the dealership and then add additional fees and charges. Im about 4 1/2 hours away from, Towne so I dont want to take a trip there if this is the case. Im looking for any suggestions or advice regarding my puchase. Below is the quote I received from the internet sales dept. at Towne and below that is a local dealers email about the sale....

[Response from Gary Rome]
Hi It is Phil Lombardi gary rome again. I beleive there to be a huge miscommunication on the other dealers part. Please call them and make sure that number is before rebate before driving that far. Truth is that is an after rebate number which makes my initial price better than theirs. I am so confident that they have made a mistake I am willing to give you $500 for every car that dealership will sell me at the price they quoted you. I have seen this before where dealers "make mistakes" on issues like this. Fact is if you show up there these numbers will change I guarantee it. When I break down the price they quoted you it is about 75.00 under invoice after rebate. I was 300 below invoice. He also has made an error on the taxes as well If he could sell you the car for what he claims he should be taxing you after rebate not before. I hope to hear from you soon and PLEASE , PLEASE RESEARCH THIS BEFORE TAKING A DRIVE DOWN. We all buy cars for the same amount from Hyundai and this price just isnt accurate
