Overdrive is the 4th gear. Yes, automatic transmission Elantras have it. It doesn't do anything for acceleration, though.

Ok, so here's where I'm at.
 
05 Elantra GT Hatchback (Silver), Package 8, Automatic Trans
 
The last offer was $17,226 before rebates.
 
I qualify for the $1750 and $500 (military) so after rebates it is: $15,016.
 
There is a $451 advertising charge that they were adamant about my having to pay because they have to pay it.
 
TMV invoice is: $16,275 and the Dealer invoice they showed me was: $16,726. I'm not sure where the difference is....
 
Carsdirect has the same car at $15,203.
 
I live in Oregon so my DMV fees are only $218. I plan to put $1500 down and throw my fees into the financing so my total over 60 mos. is $13,394...not that this matters as far as...
 
Did I get a good quote? I thought I'd post this as I peruse the 906 messages in this forum.
 
THANKS.

Ok, well I went to Consumer Reports and their wholesale price came out to $14,823 for the 05 Elantra GT Hatchback, Auto Trans, Package 8 (ABS, Moonroof, etc).
 
I ended up paying $15,500 for the car BUT that includes my DMV fees ($218 for title, registration, plates, etc) and the wind deflector for the moonroof ($47 invoice, I paid $74 installed) and tint for the windows ($300 charged, cheaper than I could find elsewhere too).
 
The $15,500 without all of that included is well within the 4-8% over invoice so I think I got a reasonable deal. I argued their advertising fees until we hated each other and they wouldn't budge so they're included and that punched THEIR invoice up to $16,721.
 
I got the military rebate and current rebate, total: $2250
 
What do you think?

Invoice (including the adv fee) less rebates is around $14,500. So you paid about $400 over invoice with the other stuff added in. IMO that's a bit high for an Elantra, but in the reasonable range. Did you check with any other dealers? You didn't mention sales tax--is that in there someplace?
 
Dealers in some areas consider the adv fee part of the invoice and won't budge on it.

Where was this?
 
In northern virginia, i was getting quotes in writing of $1000 under invoice.
 
Elantra GLS hatchback with cruise control:
 
"We had two in stock. This afternoon, we sold one of them.
 
We still have the exact car you're looking for ... for a great price, except it also has a CD player, cruise control and a sunroof. It's actually a summer dream.
 
It's black, and we'd love to get you into this week. Since we have limited quantities, I'm certain that vehicle will be gone on Saturday.
 
We can get you the great price of: $11,707
 
Or, we have a GT with a hatchback: $11,889
 
Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
 
Sincerely,"
 
This was at fairfax hyundai in northern virginia

I checked with some other dealers but they are 2 hours away from me and dealing with them was kind of a pain. They weren't prompt in replying either (I was working through internet/phone). I would have done more legwork had I not needed the car asap. So that was working against me a little.
 
There's no sales tax as I live in Oregon. $50 is what they charged me to do the DMV work so that's 50 of the 400 over invoice. I paid them to do it because I'm a full time graduate student, part-time worker and getting to the DMV would not be easy for me.
 
$400 over invoice is great with me, especially since I only put 6 hours of actual negotiation over two days into it all...the only time I had. hehe I started them at the TMV price that people are paying in my region and used Consumer Reports as a check. Carsdirect was another check but they, surprisingly(?), were offering a higher price than what I paid (before add-ons).
 
Thanks for the input! I figured I was a little high but not too over the top given the add-ons and what not.

Invoice on your car is actually about 16,200 so I'd say you did well. Regardless of profit or loss, if you are happy with the deal then don't worry about anybody else's opinion.

First I wish to thank all posters for there free information, very helpful in my car buying experience. Yesterday I purchased a GT Hatch electric red, 5spd, abs,sunroof, traction control,[Fully Loaded } for 13,800 OTD -12,527 before frieght,fee and tx/tag.
While reseaching for a new enonomy vehicle I ingnored all Hyundai suggestions test driving the corolla, matrix, civic, focus and xb without being satisfied, kept reading till I finally read the Elantra forums and decided to test drive one in my area-Central Virginia. We were sold right away, but knew [because this forum to check Fairfax Hyundai - The same car 170 miles away for 2,500$ cheaper,my local dealer told me that they had extra dealer incentives to make this happen. Anyway the big city dealership had a country flare and the transaction was flawless. Thanks again- will keep you posted, jackets2

Congrats on the new GT! Looks like you really got a good price. And it's the right color too (red)!
