Replying to: backy (Jul 12, 2009 7:26 am) Sales Tax was after my Clunker Credit. Stuff isnt with me but I believe that the sales tax was around 650 here in TX. The only reason I remember that number is that it can be written off on taxes this year. (Still have a lot to check into reguarding that) Honestly I probably will not be posting itemization. Everyone is going to be different depending on where you live. Just keep after that OTD price, dont be distracted by anything else they throw at you. I just hope that in a month, I didnt pay way more than everyone else. =)

Replying to: fullblast (Jul 12, 2009 7:41 am) The law requires your trade-in vehicle to be destroyed. Therefore, the value you negotiate with the dealer for your trade-in vehicle is not likely to exceed its scrap value. The law requires the dealer to disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in vehicle. http://www.cars.gov/index.php/faq#question-12 However, the full details on how trades will be handled are not yet published--should be around July 24. The reason I asked for an itemization is because of exactly what you said--everyone is going to be different depending on where they live. So it helps to have the info on sales price before taxes and fees, which vary by transaction and location, are added in. Also the rebates each person qualifies for can be different. |

Replying to: fullblast (Jul 12, 2009 6:03 am) Hyundai's Sonata rebate is $3,000, while it is $2,000 on the Elantra. There goes your $1,000 cash for clunker difference. If you liked the Elantra better, that's a matter of personal preference and a good choice. However, the cash for clunker program doesn't make economic sense in the instance you cited. |

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jul 12, 2009 6:04 pm) I gave all the info that I thought may help someone in there pursuit of a new car on the Cash for Clunkers program. My definition of OTD is defined. My trade in was for 4500. That was all I put down on the new car. I stated the two options I got on my car, Auto and the Popular Convience Package. Anyone should be able to use that information to get some idea of the kind of deals that are out there. You know the funny things is, I could not find any solid information when I was looking at the car. I didn't have ot post anything here at all, but I thought it may be helpful to the next person that was looking at getting in on the program early. Consider it a lesson learned on my part. I hope everyone else is as happy with the deal they get and the car as I am. Oh, and the Sonata, does have 3000 cash back, but with that and 3500 from my vehicle the OTD price was about 14500 (I never haggled on this price so it may have gone a bit lower) and that was more than I wanted to spend. |

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jul 12, 2009 6:04 pm) The mpg for over-the-road commuting is surprisingly close I'll admit for those concerning themselves with future gas prices. I did look at that in my search but the Elantra SE v. Sonata SE became a no brainer when looking at the initial lower cost of the Elantra. That SE they're putting out there is very well equipped with a very reasonable price structure. Totally understand fullblast doing what he did on his GLS purchase. |

Replying to: joegiant (Jul 13, 2009 2:16 am) The other poster said he chose the Elantra over the Sonata due to the $1K higher "clunker" incentive, not due to the Elantra being $1K less expensive. I merely pointed out that with different rebates on the Elantra & Sonata, the total "incentive" including the "clunker" incentive would be the same for both cars. |
