#2677 of 2712 Just bought an Elantra! by elantra08 Jul 08, 2008 (7:50 pm)
I just bought a 08' Elantra SE PZEV (silver on black) w/ Sunroof and Heated Seats. It also came with Floor mats, Sunroof deflector, Cargo net, Mud flaps, and Wheel Locks. I got the car for $16,500 + tax/new tags, so OTD price was $17,643. I feel like I got a good price b/c these SE's are really hot, and there are not many Hyundai dealerships in Northeast PA. I had to wait for 2 weeks to get this car. This is my first car and plan to keep it for many years until i am done graduate school. I cannot belive that I bought a Hyundai b/c I never liked their cars but in the last few years, hyundai's cars have come along way. This car is very classy and feels so expensive, I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!

Quoted 13202 + Fee 349 + Tax & Title for GLS Auto with Popular Pkg. Is that good price?  All rebates to dealer.

Replying to: backy (Jul 08, 2008 7:02 pm) The rebate here has been $2000 for a long time until now. By the way no more SE's left at the largest Hyundai dealer here. About 80-90 GLS's.
#2680 of 2712 Deposit with Dealer by parkway1 Jul 09, 2008 (4:00 am)
Replying to: backy (Jul 08, 2008 6:54 pm) Thanks for the info. SEs are scare so even though I'm against the idea I will need to leave a deposit for the dealer to locate a car. I ran into the same problem while I was hunting for a Honda Civic. Needless to say I couldn't seal the deal anywhere w/o a deposit.
#2681 of 2712 Local dealer received more Elantras by ez888 Jul 09, 2008 (1:00 pm)
Not sure if anyone else experienced this, but a local dealer in the Chicagoland area just received about 19 more Elantras- all GLSs though. Interesting how they received more when many have said nothing more until 09s- maybe just no more SEs. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 10, 2008 2:42 pm)
#2682 of 2712 Availability of SE's by wide1 Jul 10, 2008 (7:32 am)
Thinking about buying an 08 SE and after following some of the chatter on the board and, after looking at dealer inventory in my area (and contacting a couple dealers), it seems like SE's are in short supply. I want to see if this impression is correct (or if dealers are just trying to put pressure on consumers) or if others have had this experience. Like ez888, I'd be willing to put down a deposit, but really don't want to. Just looking for other's opinions on this.

#2683 of 2712 Re: Availability of SE's [wide1] by elantra08 Jul 10, 2008 (8:39 am)
Replying to: wide1 (Jul 10, 2008 7:32 am) The SE's are in very limited supply, I also had to put a deposit down and the dealer then got me a SE. The first car they were going to get me got damaged in port so i had to wait 2 more weeks for another car. In your case, i would take at least $500-700 off invoice price(depending on added acc). My MSRP for my car was $19,370 and got the car for $16,500(but that was with the $2,000 cash back)+tax and tags. Just make sure the deposit is REFUNDABLE and i would not put down no more than $500 for the car(I know some dealers wanted a $1,000). Good luck!

Replying to: elantra08 (Jul 10, 2008 8:39 am) I really believe a dealer will get you what you want either from another dealer, or the shipping port. Just be firm.
#2685 of 2712 Re: Availability of SE's [elantra08] by wide1 Jul 10, 2008 (9:51 am)
Replying to: elantra08 (Jul 10, 2008 8:39 am) thanks elantra08. two questions: how do I make sure the deposit is refundable (i.e. get this in writing, I assume)? and when you say, 500-700 off invoice, I assume you mean below invoice, right? If that's the case, how do I negotiate that sort of reduction in price (based on the dealer not having to pay interest?)? Replies to this message: elantra08 (Jul 10, 2008 11:03 am)
#2686 of 2712 Re: Availability of SE's [wide1] by elantra08 Jul 10, 2008 (11:03 am)
Replying to: wide1 (Jul 10, 2008 9:51 am) Where i bought my car, i just told the salemans that i wanted the car but the deposit would have to be refundable. I asked him several times that is was refundable. I told him that i wanted to see the car in person and check out the vehicle to make sure everything was alright. He agreed. (this was on the phone; and then i left the deposit after test driving the floor gls elantra). i would use a credit card just in case the dealer tried to pull anything funny.   As far as pricing, go online and check out where the nearest hyundai dealerships are at and ask for a quote on a Elantra SE w/ whatever opions/colors you wanted. I only wanted sliver or gray and it had to have the sunroof(that was a deal breaker). Once you start getting quotes, look for the best and tell the dealer that you have other lower quotes from other dealerships and ask if they can go below or match. The dealership i bought my car from asked me what is a good number so "we could have your business", lucky they agreed with my price the first time. i was very suprised and this was also the closest hyundai dealship to me, so it worked at very nice. Also ask for the "out the door" pricing cause some dealer will charge you a doc fee/dealer fee and that could be a few hundred dollars. if they dont have any SE's on the lot asked them to get you one. I had all the numbers worked out before they actually got me the car. And yes, i got it below invoice, check out Edmunds TrueMarketValue(TMV).
