Replying to: pennellcir (Sep 13, 2008 11:51 am) Keep in mind the Touring will be quite a bit more than a stripped GLS--I am guessimating somewhere around $17.5k for a stick at least, based on the price of the 2008 SE. I doubt we'll see rebates on it or much in the way of discounts for awhile after introduction--that is typical with new models. IMO the SE is worth the sticker price bump over the GLS. The SE has ESC (very important safety feature), traction control, alloys with bigger rubber (improves handling and braking), telescopic steering column (helps find a comfy driving position), leather wheel with audio controls, leather shifter, trip computer, and maybe some other stuff. Keep in mind it was only the SE that CR ranked their Top Pick in the class--not the GLS (although the GLS ranked pretty high too).

Replying to: backy (Sep 13, 2008 5:14 pm) AC option is alway confusing me and dealer seemed they didn't want to explain this clear to me. my understanding is that AC is with package 1 (around $1750). But for those without package 1 (msrp 14.4K), they had AC as well, although the window stickers didn't say they had ACs. Are those ACs installed by dealer. I guess they cannot, right? The installation should be done in the factory, I assume. anyway, I prefer a SE now. How about the price difference? about 2k more thann GLS if they are both basic, If I can have a deal around 13K+TTL, should I go for it?

Replying to: andrealan (Sep 13, 2008 6:01 am) http://seatcovers.net/hyundai-seat-covers.html If it does not work you can go to www.seatcovers.net and do a search for your year/car. My husband got expensive ones, they repell even water. We actually called and spoke to someone and you can also have their complete list of prices for all the covers they make for the Hyundai Elantra mailed to you to give you an idea. My husband paid $770 for 2 complete back seat covers and 2 complete front seat covers, and arm rest cover, and paid for 4 head rests and since the Elantra has 3 in the back the guy threw the 3rd in free when they are normally $25 each for the style my husband picked out. You don't have to get front and back. My husband did because he is an OTR truckdriver and sometimes throws his things in the backseat. I already had to take turtle wax oxi-cleaner to his one front seat as we have the cloth seats and he spilled soda on his new seat. The seat covers he bought are supposed to actually if you spill a liquid just let the liquid sit there. It does not sink in. And they make them with side guards that open to deploy your air bags. And my dealer said the seat covers do work on the airbags if they do deploy. They are special order and they take 2 weeks to come by UPS once you order and pay for them. They have cheaper. I didn't need these but since hubby wanted to pay for them I let him. If it had been me I would have picked out something cheaper as I am more careful than him and I would have thrown a blanket over the back seat. I hope this helps you.

Replying to: pennellcir (Sep 15, 2008 1:23 pm) * Warning: several sellers falsely advertise a car as an SE when in fact it's a GLS. There oughta be a law about that... * Warning: several sellers post a low asking price, then say in the small print something like "This price is after a $2995 down payment and you must finance through us and there must be a full moon... etc." Others include all possible rebates in their asking price. * The lowest legitimate price on cars.com for a used 2008 Elantra GLS anywhere in the country is $12,990 for a GLS automatic in Allen, TX with 8k miles. * The lowest legitimate price on cars.com for a used 2008 Elantra SE anywhere in the country is $16,990 for an automatic with 8k miles in Bradenton, FL. (There are "SE"s advertised for less, but it's clear from the dealer--not stock--photos that those cars are GLSes.) So that's about $1000 under the original list price when new, but for a used car w/o the 10/100k powertrain warranty. No rebates either. * There's one new 2008 SE stick advertised at $13,999 in Burlingame, FL after rebates. Note that's ALL rebates that are possible, including military, college grad, and loyalty. And you must finance through HMA to get that price. So that is the picture. Maybe that $14,500 price you've got isn't so bad after all? |

| Towne Hyundai in NJ is offering $1700 below dealer invoice for the 2008 Elantra GLS, $1000 rebate, "destination included". Should I assume that other volume Hyundai dealers will be offering similar savings and factor this into my target price? I'm shopping for a GLS automatic with the '02 Popular Equipment package'. | |
