The going price for a 17000 gls is about 13000 more or less. An 18000 SE (I assume that is it) should go for about 14000 (the 1000 sticker difference) but most dealers are holding out for much more sometimes because of their low inventory. A good writeup in a magazine has given the se a bump. Your call. You may be able to get a dealer to let go of one for 15000 or less end of month.(email for bids) Try to get as close to 14 as possible or just go for the gls.

2008 LE with 5-speed and the Premium Pkg. with sunroof.
  
Sticker $ 18,265 (they had there added crap with and additional $1k, regional pricing, clean up misc. stuff and made them remove off the price sheet before we even started)
  
I offered 15k and they countered with $15,677 (they say this is invoice)
  
This included 2K rebate.
  
I will need to add 5% sales and about $ 105 in fees.
  
After seeing some posts it looks like there maybe some better deals out there. No trade and is a cash deal. Anybody know a good dealer in Southwestern PA?

You are correct, I meant SE.
 
The $ 2,000 is direct rabete to consumer or to dealer? If it is direct to me then the rebate should not even be in the negotiation IMHO. I'll shoot for $ 15,000 OTD as opposed to 15k for the vechicle.

I already did as you recommended last night, I emailed four other dealers and asked to see there best price. I asked them to give me there best price and then show the rebate. Wednesday is the last day of month, i will keep you posted.

I think you are referring to manual tran. See my earlier post for an auto (without sunroof) bought in southwestern PA Bowser for $13,900 OTD. Tell Jeff Empey I referred you.

They are probably the closest to me. About 1 hour.
 
If I don't get an email reply tomorrow I'll give him a call.

Yes, the $2000 (or $1500 depending on state) rebate is to the consumer. However, $15k OTD for an Elantra SE as you described would be a really exceptional deal right now, given the low availability and popularity of the SE--unless there's almost no sales tax and low license fees in your state. Consider that invoice for the car you are looking at is around $17,500, or $15,500 after the $2000 rebate. So to get it for $15k OTD you're going to have to convince the dealer to part with this rare and popular car for, what, $2000 or so under invoice? I'm not saying it's not possible, but could be real tough to do. That kind of discount would be easier to get on a GLS vs. an SE. Good luck.

Dealer told me that invoice was $ 15,677 or something like that. Hopefully the other 4 dealers I emailed will get back to me tomorrow so I can compare. Either way the info. here was useful and I will use everyones data to make an informed decision.

The dealer must have included the $2k rebate when they quoted the invoice to you. To verify that, you can check out the invoice pricing right here at edmunds.com.

Purchased a Hyundai Elantra GLS with Power Package for $13100 out the door two weeks ago from dealer in Fairfax VA. Sticker was $17,000. 3 1/2% sales tax in Virginia and $295 dealers prep fee, and $35? registration fee. So about $12400 before tax and fees. Dealer threw in mats. Also dealer in Alexandria VA which is desperate to make sales. His new car department is selling to his used car department in order generate sufficient volume. I don't see that much of a difference between the GLS and SE models to justify the incremental amount. I would consider taking a short drive to Northern Virginia.

The big difference between the SE and GLS is the electronic stability control which Consumer Reports considers a must have.
