I received this offer for an '05 Elantra GLS from O'Brien's of Champaign, IL: 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS Automatic Cruise control - 200 AM/FM/CD - 350 ABS - 595 MSRP - 15862 Sale - 15198 Sale Price - 15198 Trade Allow - 500 (est. only - site unseen - trade is '91 Olds Cutlass Calais with rough paint, mechanical issues, and 125,000 miles - I'll just be glad to have it gone and to be able to transfer the plates) Difference - 14698 Doc Fee - 55.39 Sales Tax - 922 (6.25%) Xfer plates - 80 Subtotal - 15755 Rebate - 1750 Total - 14005.39 He had given me a previous offer on an Automatic GLS without the options listed above and indicated that that quote included the destination charge, so I know I need to verify that the above offer also includes that $545 destination charge. I looked at Edmund's TMV, and if I remember right, this comes out to about $100 or so over that (though I could be wrong on that - forgot to write it down). I'm thinking of recouping that $100 by asking for him to throw in the carpeted floor mats and the trunk cargo net at the same price listed above. I think the $1750 rebate expires on 2/28 - any thoughts on what rebate (if any) will be available after that? Can I ask if he can guarantee that cost savings (either through a rebate or some other means) even after 2/28? He hasn't applied any pressure by telling me it expires soon, though I did email him this morning and asked him how long it is good for. I'm also not sure if he has this car on the lot, or if he'd have to trade for it. Color is not a concern for me, though I would like to stay away from black, white, or silver (the color of the Olds that I'm trading). Thanks for your help!

Be sure to ask them what their offer is WITHOUT your trade-in. Then you'll know what the real discount is. You might check on prices in Chicago to see how they compare. Even if you don't want to go there to buy a car, you can use them as leverage with the local dealer.

I went to Carsdirect.com and put in your zip code and numbers. Their price before the $1750 rebate is $14,723. I would go to Carsdirect, print out the numbers and take it to the dealer. Tell them to match the price or you'll buy it through Carsdirect. I'm sure they will match it.

An auto writer for a large U.S. newspaper is looking for a few recent Hyundai or Kia buyers to ask them what they think of their cars. He's also is interested in talking to those who are thinking of buying a Hyundai or Kia. His deadline is Friday, March 4. If you're interested in being interviewed for his story, please respond to Kirsten Holguin at kholguin edmunds.com.
