Used edmunds.com to search for the "right" price. I was looking for base model with A/T and A/C. I got three offers from dealerships: LaFontaine, Glassman and Hyundai of Ann Arbor. Glassman offered price $100 less then LaFontaine but I almost gave up because the person who was responsible for final agreement was very rude and unpolite and he didn't accept that $100 off the LaFontaine price that salesperson gave to me. I don't think I'll buy again from Glassman. Final score: Base price: 12949.50 Doc. fee: 160.00 Total: 13919.07 Rebate: -2000.00 Hyundai: -500.00 TOTAL: 11419.07 |

How's this for a deal on a '04 Elantra GT automatic with Package 8 (moonroof and ABS), Rally Red: MSRP: $17,414 Invoice: $16,028 Dealer price: $16,050 Transport fee: $150 Less Rebates: ($3000) ($2000 general rebate, $500 loyalty rebate, $500 auto show rebate) Final price: $13,200 + T&L I could get Sterling for $150 less, but I really want Rally Red and there's only 2 of them within a five-state area, so they'll need to get it from 250 miles away. The dealer tried to add $448 "advertising fee" onto the invoice, and $599 for a "protection package" including window etching, tire warranty etc. but I said I would like to know how close they could come to the $16,028 invoice figure, and then I would check with other dealers and come back if they had the best price. I was hoping for a little below invoice, but given I could get exactly the car I wanted (a rare car it turns out) and they were very professional and pleasant to deal with throughout the process, I decided not to quibble over a few dollars. |

| So you got a new 04? | |
| Maybe very soon! My GLS told me it would like a baby brother. | |
|
should i go for this: 04 Elantra GLS Automatic Full Package w/ sunroof and ABS 4 free oil changes and 3 tire rotations out the door price after rebates: $13,034 please let me know your opinion |
|
| What is the price before tax, license, and doc fees? In other words, what is the price compared to invoice before deducting rebates? | |
|
well here's what came out of the deal, i decided i didn't want ABS but i wanted everything else. so here's what i got: 04 Elantra Crimson GLS Automatic Sunroof everything else except ABS out the door price after rebates and before taxes and title: $12,000 TMV price after $2500 rebate was $12,496 i went with it and so far so happy |
|
| That is really an incredible deal! Invoice for a GLS automatic with package 5, spoiler, mats, wood grain trim, cargo net, and mud guards is $15,121. So after the $2500 rebate you got it for $621 under dealer invoice! No wonder you are happy. How hard was it to get the dealer down to that figure? | |

Well, first of all, let me clarify my car a little better. I should have said, I got Package 5, but I didn't get the spoiler, wood grain trim, mud guards, or cargo net. I did get floor mats though. but nevertheless, I think it's still a good deal. I called all the Hyundai dealers in Columbus, OH and they all gave me their best price of $13034 (package 6) before taxes and title, after rebate. Then Dennis Autopoint gave me a quote of $12,534 for the car. I went there, and liked the Elantra w/o ABS, and asked if they would give it to me for $12,000. They said yes. So that's how it worked out. Actually, the car ended up having 1200 miles on it, so they knocked the price by $500. And they charged me $495 for the GAP insurance, but I then declined it. The dealer later told me that GAP should only cost around $180 and that the financing officer, was making $220 commission off it. |
