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.

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.

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.

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).

Isn't the rebate 1500 in ohio with several military and college options for another $500.? At least it is here in southern ohio (45205 zip). I don't think a 500 difference would make a 2000 difference in the offers. That said, I don't think the dealers in southern ohio are hurting to move cars.
 
I wouldn't put that much effort in to drive a Hyundai. Yes the car will wholesale in a year for 11000 and 13000 ish is about what you want to pay but there may be better deals out there end of month.

Towne hasn't pulled any BS that I know of (including several friends who have bought from Towne).
 
The rebate(s) is included in your drive away price (you don't have to wait for it ).
 
Towne does have a $189 doc fee plus title & registration fees, plus your state's sales tax. If you don't want the window etching, tell them you don't want it. They'll probably waive that charge, even if the windows have been etched.
 
The Ohio dealer is feeding you BS about not qualifying for the rebate.

So your friends that bought from Towne, were they from out of the state of NJ? I would love to get a good price, but I don't want to take all the trouble to get there and then find some surprises. Ohio dealers in my area, central and SE Ohio, are not interested in coming close to Towne's offer. I guess that is why I am a bit on the defense. I'm starting to lean towards just giving up on the Elantra and go towards the Honda/Toyota that I originally was thinking of.

Many reports in Town Hall vouch for Towne's upholding their advertised Internet prices.
 
Why would you pay a LOT more for a comparable Honda or Toyota than take advantage of the pricing at Towne, or even calling the Ohio dealer's bluff and tell them you've checked with Towne (after doing so of course), it's a bona fide offer including the rebate, and if they don't come down on their offer some that is where you'll go? Maybe show the dealer the Internet pricing page on the Towne web site. Consider though that there will be some cost to you to go to Towne, so you should consider that in your negotiating with local dealers.
