Purchased a new 2008 Elantra GLS today (Option Package 02; everything but the sunroof). Sticker was $17,395. Got $4,000 in rebates and cash back bringing total down to $13,395 and then negotiated it down further to $12, 800. $12,800 plus 6% tax and $500 in fees and doc/reg/state fee for a total OTD price of $14,041.
Purchased in CT if that makes a difference. How did I do?

Sounds pretty good.
What CT dealer? My son is looking for a used Sonata.

Sounds like a good price to me! Which $4000 in rebates did you qualify for? I only qualified for the $ 2000 rebate. Sales tax here in PA is 7%.

Got it at Torrington Hyundai in Northwest CT. It's actually the third car I've purchased there and the one I got yesterday was for my mom who is 72 and never had a new car! She was very excited to get a new one.

Because it was an '08, there was a $2000 rebate from the manufacturer (cash to customer, which we used for the down payment) and then the dealer was offering another $1000 and somewhere during the negotiations there was another $1000 being offered ; I believe it was because we financed through Hyundai credit but I'm not sure. Total rebates/cash was $4000 and then I negotiated it down further.

Central Auto Group in Plainfield CT has about 30 new 08 GLS, automatic with popular equipment package that they are listing on ebay for $12,500 which includes document fee. They auctioned one last week which went for $12,150 and the reserve price on the auction was $12,000. At that price you can afford to pay for shipping considerable distance and they are listing several out of state sales, as far as California.

the ebay ad says the doc fee is not included. How much is the doc fee? Is that negotiable?

The doc fee is included in the price. They are listing at $12500 including the doc fee but you might be able to negotiate down to $12000, since this is their auction reserve price. They are also offering $500 active military discount in addition. Can't beat that.

Yesterday I got another call from a hyundai dealer who said they were offering new 2008 Elantra's that were used as demo cars with a $4000 rebate, but I am afraid to ask what the total cost would have been with tax and fees since I already bought mine on Saturday!..

Thanks for pointing to this dealer. The doc fee is NOT included in $12500. I just bought Elantra from Central Auto Group in CT. The deal advertised on ebay 12500 + 399 Doc fee.
I was able to get them down to following deal:
I had to finance through Hyundai to get the deal.
Car $11800
Doc fee $399
Free floor mats + Free trunk mat
Tax + Title + Reg fees (all standard fees)
They tacked on $75 loan initiation fee, otherwise you can pay off the loan in 2 month with no prepayment penalty. The interest rate was 8.5%.
good luck guys,
Max
