Replying to: bob225 (Apr 27, 2008 7:17 am) 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.   Ron Replies to this message: thndrstm (Apr 27, 2008 10:57 pm) backy (Apr 28, 2008 7:19 am) gofish (Apr 28, 2008 5:18 pm)

Replying to: wiesman (Apr 27, 2008 3:08 pm) The big difference between the SE and GLS is the electronic stability control which Consumer Reports considers a must have. Replies to this message: backy (Apr 28, 2008 7:19 am)

Well there are only two dealers that have the SE with Premium Pkg and 5 Speed. Both are close in proximity to me. They are hoovering around $ 15.7k   I just found out that Southwestern PA has a $500 autorama discount and dealers have some dealer cash avaliable (based on volume sales) so the $ 15k is looking realistic.

If I go with a 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS (Vehicle Options: Automatic, Splash Guards, Floor Mats, Popular Equipment Package) with a MSRP of $17,165 I can get for $13,899 - $ 500 plus a possible $ 500 if they meet quota.   Unfortunatly, this one does not have the electronic stability control which I want.

Replying to: backy (Apr 27, 2008 10:08 am) We just took possession of a Elantra SE automatic for $15K OTD. I emailed a few dealers in the area requesting quotes on a base model SE, and Herb Connolly (in Natick, MA) emailed back with a price of $14,200 for an SE automatic with floor mats and mudguards. A few other dealers replied with quotes around invoice price or with the "stop on in and make a deal" line. I went with Herb Connolly because it was a great price with no haggling needed. I also qualified for the graduate rebate so that was another $400 off.   So the total breakdown was: $16,200 - $2000 rebate - $400 grad rebate + $690 MA tax + $428 doc fee + $78.50 registration/title = $14996.50.   The documentation fee seemed a bit high, but the overall price seemed fair enough. When we were at the dealer, they had a total of 8 SEs to choose from. If anyone is in the MA area and looking for the Elantra, feel free to drop me a line and I can let you know who I worked with.

Replying to: platyase (Apr 28, 2008 8:04 pm) On the high doc fee... the dealer giveth, and the dealer taketh away. They have to get their profit someplace, right?   That is a really good deal. I have a hard time finding even one SE in my area. I was at my local dealer today (got a bulb replaced) and they had zero SEs in stock.
#2480 of 2665 Is this true? by ramaducha Apr 29, 2008 (7:20 am)
I live in Ohio and got a quote from Towne, yes I will drive there if I have to. Anyway, quote frome Towne for 08 GLS PZEV Automatic with Popular Equipment Pakage, Carpeted Floor Mats,Cargo Tray was $12,856 with them stating: All available manufacturer rebates are included in this quote.   Ok, truth is I'd rather not drive out of the way if I don't have to, but I will. I asked local dealer in Ohio to match. He says that the rebate is 1500 here, and states that if I buy in NJ, I will not qualify for the 2000 rebate and will not get it. He states he can sell me the same car for 14890 plus tax & title, says at this price he will only be making $50.   Does this sound right? If I go to Towne will I really be getting the car for what they say or do they charge me $12,856 plus $2000 for the rebate and send me home to wait on the $2000 to come in the mail later (which I may not qualify for according to the Ohio dealer).
