Replying to: backy (Jul 01, 2009 2:35 pm) If the new vehicle has a combined fuel economy that is at least 4, but less than 10, miles per gallon higher than the traded-in vehicle, the credit is $3,500. If the new vehicle has a combined fuel economy value that is at least 10 miles per gallon higher than the traded-in vehicle, the credit is $4,500. The new vehicle must get at least 22 mpg and the old vehicle cannot get more the 18 mpg. |

Replying to: cjaccetta (Jul 14, 2001 4:33 am) Paid: 14,998 (so they said) But really Brad Benson Hyundai Dealership in NJ charged me 18080 without telling me on the papers because of destination charges and taxes and fees, that they said were included in the 14,998 prices. The dealership is a piece of garbage. My car is awesome: Elantra SE with leather wrapped steering wheel, electronic stability control, sunroof, and heated seats. Though, I will say that Brad Benson has ruined my enjoyment of my new purchase. DO NOT GO TO BRAD BENSON IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN ANY LOYALTY FOR HYUNDAI

Replying to: backy (Jul 09, 2009 6:01 pm) I get mileage for work so I already have 16k in the bank just from the mileage on the 08. I prefer a new car for work once a year. I don't need a high mileage vehicle.

Just thought I would post my experience. Hopefully it will help some of you looking for the best Out the Door price using the Cash for Clunkers program. I am in Fort Worth, Texas. Traded in a 1999 Plymoth Voyager Minivan that qualified as 18mpg on the Cash for Clunkers program. Based on the fact that the Elantra got better than a 10mpg improvement, I recieved the full 4500 credit on my trade in. I did look at the Sonata as well, but it was rated at 27mpg, which would have made it only worth 3500 on the program. Purchased a 2009 Elantra GLS, Auto, Popular Equipment Package for an OTD price of 10,900. For anyone that does not know what OTD means, it is Out the Door, all Taxes, Documentation, Fees, Addons, everything. Most of the Dealers are reluctant to quote OTD prices. I asked 6 dealers for their best OTD price, and spelled out what I wanted and only two did it initially. Two of the six ignored my DO NOT call me request that I made in caps at the very top of my email. Dealers quoted (after more explanation about what I meant by an OTD price)11,400, 11,300, 11,100 and finally 10,900. One dealer said that they could not match 10,900 when emailed them back that was my best offer so far. (That made me feel good), One of the dealers that never did email, and just called after I had already purchased, said they could have beat that deal. (sour grapes) One of the dealers never did send me an OTD price. So that was my price That was no money out of pocket, and I even pulled my brand new radio out of the Van at the dealership. It will be ebayed in the next few weeks to pay for tinting. =) I personally feel like a got a good deal, but who knows, maybe they will crank up even more rebates here in the next few weeks and I will be sorry I got in early. I look forward to seeing what some of you are able to do. I should point out that only a few of the Hyundai dealerships are participating in the Cash for Clunkers program early. The others are waiting for official rules. I promised the dealer I would come back in and fill out any additional paperwork if needed later. But I am not on the hook for any of the risk at all. It is worth noting that I visited Ford and Kia and both of them tried to make the argument that you are not really getting the value of your car on the Cash for Clunkers program, they argue that Hyundai is using rebates to cover the cost of the car. Don't you just love being treated like you're and idiot. =) Oh, and I love the car. That was an unexpected bonus. I just wanted to get a reliable, safe car with great gas milage, but I wound up getting somewhat of a pleasant surprise. |
