When I buy from a dealer, which I just did recently, I always call up their internet/fleet guy for a price. If they're not willing to give any type of firm price over the phone, there's already an element of sleezyness. Especially all the guys who are like "WE WILL MATCH COMPETITORS!". The moment it turns into a sleezefest, it's time to leave for sure.

Thanks bhmr.
 
I was hoping you were going to say something like that. Now the only problem is that Towne won't respond to my inquiries. They said they'd get back to me in 24 hours but it's been 2 days now.

I had the exact same problem, dvc3 - I called and they said they couldn't find my email, despite my getting the autoresponse I assume you also received. Just call and ask for Internet Sales, they still want your business.

elantra EL by lauradavid

Hi guys,
I am in East Tn looking for an 08 elantra SE premium + leather, and I was doing some digging and price checking, and I came across something weird.
 
What is an elantra EL? I found it online.
 
Also, here is the best price I have so far: 08 elantra SE premium + leather + blue tooth
 
orginally 17, 000 not including deal prep, tax, tag, and title
 
I commented that their dealer prep was high, and that I could get a better deal at Fitzmall, he came down to 16,600 plus 499 doc fees and ttl
 
Thanks for your help!

There's no such thing as an Elantra EL, at least not in the U.S.
 
Does the car you're pricing have an automatic?
 
Note that "dealer prep" should be included with the car, as noted on the window sticker. There should not be a separate charge for it.
 
$499 is really high for documentation fees. It's that dealer's way of jacking up the price without seeming to do so. Figure the actual price is closer to $17,000 before fees, TT&L. In effect, he really didn't come down at all--unless he was going to charge $17,000 plus $499 doc fee plus TT&L.

Backy ( Love your name)
 
it is an automatic;his original offer was 17,000 + 499 doc fee, and he only came down when I told him that dealer fees around here are less than half of their fees. I think Fitzmall has it priced at 17,135. I don't know what their doc fee is, but my husband and I have summers off, so we could essentially drive anywhere to buy.
 
We test drove an 09 Sonata 4cyl GLS tonight, and we like how it rides, but the mpg is a big issue for us.
 
Anyway thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

Have you compared the mpg of the Elantra and Sonata? They are pretty close, especially on the highway.
 
So considering the $499 fee it looks like the dealer is very close to if not better than Fitzmall, depending on Fitzmall's fees. You might also check out Towne Hyundai, which has very good Internet prices, to see if they are significantly lower than your dealer or Fitzmall. They are in New Jersey. I know Towne has all 2009 Sonatas at about $2000 below invoice, plus rebates. So the Sonata GLS could actually cost about the same as the Elantra SE, but w/o leather of course.

Just bought 2008 SE by statict

Just got back from buying the SE. Car is black, automatic, SE with floor mats and spoiler. No option packages. Cost was $14,845 + title/license/doc ($234) (no tax in my state). No other dealers in my state came close to this deal, and a few told me that when I went there, the price would not be what was quoted to me or that the car would be a GLS. However, it was exactly what was quoted to me and I think I got a real bargain (I think it beats Towne). I also only got a $1500 discount in my state, not the $2000 some are getting.
 
Car is fantastic, and I really enjoyed driving it home!

gembree, glad to know I'm not the only one. The auto response definitely threw me off. I was wondering if they sold out or something. I'll give them a call. Thanks for the tip.
