#2800 of 3257 Buying a 08 SE w/AT by ogurek Dec 12, 2008 (1:03 pm)
hello, im new to the forum and doing some car shopping. i need a basic car for commuting and im trying to get the most car for the dollar. the elantra is one of my candidates. i this from Maxon Hyundai-Mazda (in NJ): "The 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE, MSRP is $17,845, Invoice is $17,297 You can puchase this car for $15,297. Includes $1,500 rebate. . (includes destination)" is this a good deal? any differences between an 08 and 09? im paying cash and hoping to get a car by the end of the month. thanks for reading!

Replying to: ogurek (Dec 12, 2008 1:03 pm) That is a pretty good price for this popular car, well below invoice after invoice as the dealer noted. Be sure they don't try tack any unusual fees onto it, e.g. $399 for "documentation". If it's $15,297 plus tax, title, license plus maybe a reasonable fee for documentation, that is good.   The 2009 Elantra SE will get some minor changes, including a USB/iPod jack and a sport-tuned suspension. However, those features are "late availability", so it's likely there aren't any 2009 SEs at dealers yet with those features--meaning they would be the same as the 2008s, except with a higher price (and lower rebates).   Since you are in NJ, you might check with some other NJ dealers like Towne Hyundai to see if they can beat this deal.

Replying to: ogurek (Dec 12, 2008 1:03 pm) Definitely check with Towne Hyundai. Their current internet pricing for an '08 Elantra is $1750 below invoice plus the $1500 rebate (total $3250 below invoice). '09 Elantras are $1250 below invoice plus $500 rebate.   Their present doc. fee is $249 (up from $189 last year). If you don't want window etching tell them up front. They normally add this at a cost of $199.   This is a great dealership and they sell a lot of cars. I heard yesterday that they sold a few more cars in Nov. '08 than they did in Nov. '07. With auto sales for all manufacturers way down, it's unusual to hear of a high volume dealership actually selling more cars.   I'm in CT. After we bought from Towne in Feb. '07, we recommended them to others and know of at least 7 other sales from people in our area.

thanks for replying to my post. i just went to the towne website and asked them to beat the 15,300 price. great to hear that they are a reputable dealer.   it would be nice to have the 'USB/iPod jack and a sport-tuned suspension' but since the base radio plays mp3s its not a big problem. i currently drive a 06 corolla so i dont really have sports-like expectations.   im hoping to get a great deal because of the timing, december being a slow month and car sales being down in general. does anyone have experience buying from carsdirect.com?
