Replying to: jumblies1 (May 20, 2009 8:37 am) Thanks for the advice. I will try the email blitzkrieg. I have a list of ~10 dealers within 100 miles that I have already gotten quotes from. I will pass around my best quote and see if any of them can beat it. With regards to OTD price I have not yet gotten the official quote from the dealer. Based on my calculations it should be ~$15,218. See: $13,925 + $2000= $15,925 #adding the rebate back onto the price of the car. $15,925 * 0.06= $956 #calculating the sales tax. (Maryland 6% sales tax) $13,925 + $956 = $14,881 #adding the sales tax to the price of the vehicle. $14,881 + $237=$15,118 #adding tag and title fees. $15,118 + $100=$15,218 #adding the dealer fees. So assuming I have not left anything out the total OTD price should be ~$15,218. This is based on numbers given to me by the dealer for the cost of tag and title fees, sales tax, and dealer fees. I am in the process of getting an official OTD estimate emailed to me. Hopefully it does not differ substantially from my estimate. If it does again assuming I have not left anything out I would require an explanation from the dealer as to why there is a major difference. All the Best,

Replying to: 67gtx (May 02, 2009 1:19 pm) A used 08 elantra auto gls (msrp 17600) barely has a wholesale trade in value of 10000 with avg miles. This is what your 09 will be worth in 12months. I doubt a fully loaded one (msrp 19000) has a trade in of $11000. In other words $14500 is nothing to write home about for the 09 17600 gls. Eating 4000-5000 1st 12 months to drive one of these things isn't great. The 08 20400 msrp Sonata gls auto also has a used trade in of $10000 with avg miles. (kbb.com) $15500 is no great deal on a new one. The 08 $27000 msrp Sonata limited has a trade in of $11000. Once again, what your 09 will be be worth in 12 months. Suzuki and Hyundai are the few manufacturers not to post 30-40% sales drops. (They posted 2% sales drops). They are playing their marketing to the hilt.Selling vehicles for possibly more than they did last year at this time. The 18500 Mazda 3 i touring value auto may be had for about 15000 and change, and will be worth almost $13000 in 12 mo. A versa $16000-18000 hatch or sedan for about 12000-14000, and worth 10000-11000. A $19500 pontiac vibe or toyota matrix-- $15400 or so. (worth almost $12000 next year) The kia spectra forum has a $17500 car similar to the elantra, for possibly $11500 or so (worth $8500 used in 12 months). Sucky depreciation like the elantra yes-- but possibly much more of a discount. Worth investigating if true. The mazda is a much better car and value than the elantra, as well as the others. Don't get a ticket getting to the dealer for any of the prices posted, they aren't that great as Hyundai doesn't need to deal. Their sales are great and they are playing their 8% of the market like a fiddle. Check out other options unless for some reason you really really want a hyundai elantra or sonata. Good luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (May 21, 2009 8:51 am) I disagree with this. I bought an 08 Elantra SE with premium package in April 08 for $15,200 (MSRP around $19.5k). Car has 33,000 miles on it. They have already given me a trade in price of $10.k (provided I do not exceed 35,000 miles before we close deal). Looking at the same car but an 09 Elantra with exact same options plus Bluetooth. I want a $5,000 OTD price. He is at $6,000 right now. Hoping to see some dealer cash this weekend to get it to where I want it. I think$5,200 depreciation with 33,000 miles is pretty darn good. I get mileage for work so I already have close to $11K in the bank. Give them $5k and pocket the $6k and for me the car is a money maker. One could argue that I should run my '08 into the ground and not trade in but I would rather rotate vehicles every year if this is the delta after 12 months. |

I purchased a touring this week in central NJ and I think I got a great price. Cost was 3,050 OTD with a trade of my 2004 Toyota Sienna Ltd with 61,000 miles on it that was in good condition. The way they wrote up the purchase stated that they were giving me $13,000 for my Sienna. The receipt was confusing but the bottom line was all I cared about. I probably could have gotten about $15 for my Sienna selling it privately, but I saved about $1,000 on the tax and this was much easier. It is the base model, black with light interior, automatic, with mats and wheel locks. So far I'm getting about 24 mpg around town in some heavy traffic. I have a question about the key fob. It opens up the car but when I press on the hatch door it does not release it. Is that typical of other tourings or does my fob need to be reprogrammed? Thanks Marlene
