This is a follow-up to my previous post from 5/31. I was orginally quoted $14742 for the base SE auto. I went to another dealer since my previous one was out of SEs. This new dealer (Elgin, IL) had an auto SE for $18115 sticker with $180 or so in options (floor mats, cargo net, and wheel locks). They would barely move from the $14742. They actually wouldn't move from that amount plus the $180 in options. I was able to get it for $14700 plus TTL. They kept on telling me they were not even making money on the deal. I was sick of hearing that! I even told him if he says that one more time, I'm leaving.
 
I think I got a pretty good deal. I know it's not fair to compare sometimes, but I see some people paying $1K+ more for the same car.
 
Good luck to everyone out there in the market. It does seem like the SEs are very limited right now out there. The 2 biggest dealers around me only have 1 each- and that's from having over 7 last week.
 
I also paid cash so no financing- that was nice!

thanks again gembree. Everything worked out perfectly with the purchase.
 
Now I just hope that my plates arrive before my temporary one expires.
 
If the plates arrive on time I will be a Towne Hyundai evangelist for sure!

i didn't go for the royal guard insurance. i don't think they mentioned it. unless it's the bumper to bumper increased to 10 100K. when i talked with the finance lady (funny how i had to since i was paying cash- i could have been outta there an hour earlier), she said to extend the bump to bump it was $1800 but she would sell it for $1000. i said no way and she said i was crazy not to double my bump to bump. i said i would pay no more than $400 for it. the conversation ended there- funny because she said it never goes below $1000. it was nice because she didn't try and keep on selling it to me!
 
overall, i had a good buying experience. i have to say though when my salesperson brought over one of the sales managers, i pissed him off quite a bit because i was so upfront with getting a lower price. made me feel pretty good.

low interest rate financing by diamond946

Does anyone know of a good solid low interest rate auto loan? I was able to get 4.8 with my credit union but I would love to go a little lower.
 
Can anyone help with this hear?

I think that's about the best you'll find. I just got the same rate from my credit union. Anything lower is probably going to be attached to the purchase of a new vehicle, (Financed through the manufacturer) and as such they make their money up front on the sale instead of on interest by upping the price of the vehicle or raising the bar on lowest price they are willing to negotiate.

Deal or No Deal! by eddielopez84

For an Automatic Elantra GLS with Popular package, I was quoted $13,180.00 plus tax, license, fees and destination charge.
  
I am guessing:
$13,180 after rebate
$620 destination charge
$1,300 tax, license & fees
=$15100
 
Is this a decent deal. I checked the true market value for this vehicle and it comes out to $16,583 - $1,500 rebate = $15,083.

Eddie, you need to find out if the quoted price included destination and doc fee. These two factors can make a significant difference in how good a deal you are being offered.
 
You should be able to do quite a bit better than the TMV shown on Edmunds.

The 07 elantra gls wholesales used for 11000 or so. So 13000 plus tax and tag is about you want to be paying. That said 13800 may be beat end of month, but with good review writeups and a run on 30 mpg vehicles they seem to be letting them go for smaller discounts. Around here they won't let them go for less than 14000, but we have a large minority population in our area they can take as payment buyers. Once the price gets much above 14000 or so the mazda3 and possibly even the Sonata 09 in a few months become competitive. The Ford Focus may be had for about 13000 or less also, but the elantra is a better car.
 
Good luck

Used 2007 Elantra GLS Manual 29k miles by rpb45

Purchasing a used 07 Elantra GLS with popular package, Manual tran.
Car has 29k miles on it. Price before trade was $10700. No destination charge, but 300 doc fee so OTD is 11K. Does this seem like a fair price. They're asking price was 13K. I haven't picked up the car yet so the deal isn't technically done until Sat.
