#559 of 2773 Buying a 2004 Elantra GT Sedan by cgr45 May 19, 2004 (1:46 pm)
Hello everyone.   My girlfriend is in the market for a new car. After much research and test driving a few cars she decided to buy an 04 GT Sedan with moonroof, ABS and TCS. She loves everything about the car. She says that it's "cute."   Anyways, my question is how much should she pay for this car? The TMV for the car is $14,440. With taxes and registartion we should be looking at about $15,500. Is this a good price or should she offer something along the lines $14,000?   She's paying cash for the car. I don't know if this will be an advantage for her. We live in jersey City, NJ and the dealer that we visted is Difeo Hyundai.   Does anyone have any experiences dealing with this dealer? Any recommendations to other dealers?   Thank you for your time and help.

Replying to: cgr45 (May 19, 2004 1:46 pm) Hey! you posted twice!   I guess this was probably the proper board to ask your questions. Check out my reply on the Hyundai Elantra board, as far as dealer recommendations, etc.

Replying to: cgr45 (May 19, 2004 1:46 pm) I purchased my Elantra from Global Automall up in North Plainfield and they were very good dealership. I got my 2001 Elantra GLS almost loaded (with alloy wheels), including moonroof, for $12,500. I went to Difeo Nissan (right next door), to check out a used Altima a few months ago, and they were very pushy salesmen with arrogant managers... I have had service in Difeo Hyundai and can you belive that these comedians wanted to charge me $165 for new Michellin tire!!! I was like :O !!!!!!!!!! Take my advice, check out Global or even Maxon Hyundai up in Route 22.. even better, get multiple dealer quotes from their website at hyundaiusa.com. Something I should of done.. lol :/

There's no way we can comment on how good a deal you have unless you provide more details on the car--stick or automatic, and what options. Also, Hyundai has had a $2000 rebate on Elantras for several months, so it is unlikely they will not renew it. But you never know. They did take off the $1000 loyalty rebate at the end of March.

Replying to: backy (May 28, 2004 8:13 pm) that price of 12610 was after all the rebates--the elantra gls was listed around 15100--car is an automatic with cassette player--i think it was based on package#2--very basic stuff in car--no cd player--maybe cruise control--payments of 255 for 66months at 4.99% financing--i did find another dealer who dropped it to 11900--payments down to $237 for 66 months--exact same vehicle--i have not purchased the vehicle yet--just wondering if its a good deal or not Replies to this message: backy (May 30, 2004 8:49 am)

Replying to: sully000 (May 29, 2004 8:04 pm) Invoice for a pkg 2 GLS automatic is $11,679 after the $2000 rebate. So you are getting down pretty close to invoice. You might try going in Monday, the last day of the month, to see if they'll come down a little more--they may have some dealer holdback money left on the car or other incentives to add to their profit. Can't hurt to ask for a little lower price--if they say no and you walk out and they don't try to stop you, they've gone as low as they will go.
#567 of 2773 '04 GLS for $10,800 by gfoxbruins Jun 08, 2004 (12:42 am)
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance do any real research on my new Elantra GLS, since my intention when I left home that morning was to buy a Kia Spectra instead. However, after calling/visiting Kia dealerships and not getting quite the deal I wanted I decided just to "poke my head in" at the local Hyundai dealership... and I ended up leaving a couple hours later with what I feel like was a pretty good deal:   Elantra GLS 5-speed, base model (Sterling color) Floor Mats Trunk Cargo Net Mud Guards $12,800 - $2000 rebate = $10,800 (+title/registration fees)   It looks like invoice was $12,922 for this car, so I think I got it for $122 BELOW invoice without even knowing I was doing so! Assuming a 2% dealer holdback of $258, they would have only profitted about $136 on me then, unless I'm missing something. I talked the Hyundai dealership into matching a price quote I had for a stripped down Kia Spectra (no power anything except that it had A/C) and they eventually did match it! It was the end of the month, and I was paying cash which may have helped somehow I think. The only slight "bummer" was that the car already had 160 miles on it, so I assume it had been test driven quite a few times (and I'm hoping the previous drivers were kind to it...)   But still a good deal, no?

Replying to: gfoxbruins (Jun 08, 2004 12:42 am) Yes, a great deal! Don't worry about the dealer's profit. They would not have offered the car at that price unless they thought it was a good deal for them. First, there may be hidden incentives to the dealership, e.g. for selling a certain number of cars in the month--which is why end of month is a good time to buy. Second, 5-speed base models are not as popular as automatics with more options, so they are probably glad to get it off the lot. I don't think paying cash had anything to do with it. They probably would have preferred that they use their financing.
