feelthesin, thanks for the advice. Ended up going with the manual; I grew up in the DC area, and now living in Columbia SC, what they consider "traffic" is a nice drive on a weekend for me. Picked it up yesterday! Sterling 5s hatch, no options... I forget the final exact numbers, but they had the car itself for $11,622 + $99 dealer processing (including 2k rebate). I extended the bumper-to-bumper out to 100k for $859 (backy - hope this helps). Total out-the-door was just over $12,800, financed at 3.49% through my credit union including gap protection. Fitzgerald, in Gaithersburg, MD. Google 'em for the website; they post sick-low prices online and don't play around. Salesman was my age (24), finance guy was cool, sales manager made everything easy, they're gonna get good feedback on the survey. A side note: having a patient salesman makes all the difference. I hadn't driven a stick more than around a parking lot, and when I laid rubber and peeled out of the dealership lot (oops) he was totally cool with it. Guess I'd already made it clear that I was buying the car and the test drive was a formality. |

Finally got our new Elantra GT in the silver color yesterday. We were quoted about the invoice price on the car minus the $2000 manufacturers rebate and the $400 "recent" college grad rebate (I am 23 months out of graudation, haha). We purchased from Alexandria Hyundai just out of Washington, D.C. I strongly recommend you check out their internet sales if you're looking for a Hyundai in the DC area. They gave us a good price and didn't try to pull anything on us when we got there. One thing that got weird though was in the finance department. We were going to pay cash for the car, but since we used the $400 recent grad rebate, we had to finance with Hyundai Motor Finance. We were urged to not make a down-payment (even though we wanted to a make a large one) . . . maybe the loan officer gets a commission based on the size of the loan originated . . . I don't know. All I know is what we initially proposed (a large down-payment) was *NOT* well received. Not a big deal though in retrospect. We ended up financing and got a very poor rate, but since there is no prepayment penalty we'll pay it off right away . . . In summary: car plus destination ~$15,500 minus manufacturer's rebate of $2000 minus new grad rebate $400 plus taxes, tags, processing ~$900 OTD: $0 LOL, I can see why credit is so seductive, I don't like it. We aren't going to pay a penny on this vehicle until June. Final cost before any interest (which will probably end up around $50 I'd guess): $13,985 The car is driving wonderfully and looks good. We love all the features. We have absolutely no regretful feelings after making the purchase . . . that's a sign to us that we made a great choice. |

| I went on the Hyundai USA internet site and built my Elantra online. I requested a dealer quote. Got an e-mail a few hours later from the nearest Dealer. Got my Elantra GLS 5 spd 4 door silver with package 2 for $11,600 out the door. They had to trade another dealer for it, they didnt have any 5 spd cars on the lot. I pick the car up this morning at 9:00 AM. They gave me a new Sonata for a loaner, nice! They even gave me 12 months or 12,000 miles maintenance for free. | |
| Hello All..............Just purchased a 2002 Elantra GT hatch. Had to go some to get one as it seems there are very, very few folks trading in. Got the Tidal blue(not a scratch on it) w/ 35,000 mi., auto and roof, brand new Bridgestones,fresh brake pads...$9000 plus tax. Thought this was a good deal. Bluebook's at $10,900 so.......... Only thing I'm missing out on is the drivetrain warranty, but still have 36 mo. and 25,000 miles on the bumper to bumper,and since i only drive about 8000 mi. a year, it works out great. Besides...if something goes wrong later i should be able to get it fixed with the approx. $4000 bucks i saved on an '04. This is one time that the infamous low resale and/or trade in value of the Hyundai has worked in my favor!!!! | |

I would get the new one if you can afford it! ElantraStan |

| Lets see,a 2002 GT for $1900 under blue book,new tires and a brake job for $9000. I thing you did well. Enjoy your GT! | |
If it's in great shape (no accidents, interior good etc.) and has proof of regular maintenance, the used GT would be a great buy despite the improvements in the '04 model. Be sure to take it on a long test drive and take it up to highway speeds over 65 mph to make sure it doesn't have the "shimmy" problem that some Elantras have--it can be hard to get rid of.
