Replying to: perucho (Jul 18, 2009 8:50 pm) You can try to negotiate the advertising fees, but some dealers don't haggle on those. I don't think you'll have much luck negotiating on the destination charge--that is a direct cost to the dealer. You would have better luck negotiating on the full price of the car. Just ask the dealer what their best price is before any rebates or the CARS program, and before tax and plates (watch out though for high "documentation fees" that some dealers use to pad their profits). The dealer may give some on their holdback or there may be some direct manufacturer-to-dealer incentives. Also, dealers will often give a lot on accessories like mats and mud guards. Do you really think those pieces of plastic (mud guards) cost $68?

Replying to: backy (Jul 19, 2009 9:07 am) Since neither dealer I was at yesterday mentioned this additional "gaslock" rebate, I'll be interested to know if anyone has gotten this rebate yet. This seems like a perfect storm of rebates ($3000 for elantra) along with the Cash for Clunkers. However, it seems like the dealer I purchased from may be trying to keep this gaslock rebate for themself. Not sure though as I haven't taken delivery or given a deposit yet. I'll probably get laughed at, but I'm going to ask for the additional $1000 gas rebate tomorrow before paying the deposit.

Replying to: rimoto (Jul 19, 2009 1:47 pm) Maybe the dealer didn't bother to mention the gas deal because he knows it's not as good a deal as just taking the full $2000 rebate. Or because you asked for the $2000 rebate (?), so the gas deal would not be applicable. |

Replying to: backy (Jul 19, 2009 9:16 am) I see the prices at Fizmall are really great but I don't think I could drive all the way there but I"ll try other Hyundai dealers around the CT and NY area. Now I changed my mind and I'm looking for a Touring. We go camping and I think Touring will work better. Now my search is even harder because there are not many Tourings around. thanks

Replying to: perucho (Jul 20, 2009 5:58 am) They typically have internet pricing below invoice (before any rebates), there is no advertising charge. The price they quote includes destination charge (which as backy said is a cost to the dealer with no mark up). As of a couple months ago their doc fee is $249. While rebates were different when we bought in Feb. '07, the Sonata we bought from them listed at $22,080. We were out the door (no trade-in) for $18,189 including 6% CT sales tax, all fees (state & dealer) and registration. Towne is a very high volume dealer and doesn't "play games."

Replying to: cstewart27 (Jul 20, 2009 4:13 pm) I wonder what they'd do if someone moves across the country, and goes to the dealership for service? "Sorry, you didn't buy your car here--go someplace else."

Replying to: backy (Jul 20, 2009 5:11 pm) ...now I wonder how the finance guy's face will contort when I pull out my Visa card and tell him to put the car on the card (Free money for a month 'til the bill comes due not to mention the 2 percent cash back from the credit card company on the transaction. Whadduh country!!!). Joe
