kaijad: As usual, Backy hit the nail on the head: your state's attorney general office would be interested in this dealer's nonsense. As for roaddog's interesting post, aside from the dollar figures, most of us here can assure you that an Elantra does, in fact, come with radio, tires and rims as standard. Incidentally, 18 grand seems to be more than any Elantra would cost, and any buyer has MSRP to cross-reference.

In the southern part of New jersey, there is a Hyundai dealer that advertises a "good price" for a Hyundai...and then...in the fine print there is a statement that it does not include "ADDITIONAL Dealer add-ons" and of course you have to be eligible for ALL the rebates, military rebate., loyallty rebate,farmer rebate or whatever...>>>Everyone of their vehicles has about $1200.00 worth of "additional add-ons"....pinstriping, fabric protection, window etching and whatever. They also have about five other dealerships....all in a row....and....everyone of the vehicles has these add-ons. I went to their storage lot, where all the new vehicles arrive,(on a Sunday morning) and lo and behold, the only sticker on the side window is the Mulrooney sticker. Whenver I see an ADM sticker on a new vehicle, I politely tell the salesperson that I will not buy from them because of this....and then....they have the audacity to tell you to not to worry about the ADM...they will work something out??? Usually they will lowball your trade-in to make up the "Don't worry about it " part!!! There is an old Welsh saying..."If it sound sto good to be true...It is too good to be true"!!!!!!! (Well, maybe it's not Welsh)......but beings I am Welsh, it sounds good.- Roaddog...How about telling us what dealer you finally purchased from and give us the deal!!!

Replying to: kaijad (May 12, 2005 2:20 pm) My salesman seemed pretty young, so I would have felt a bit bad walking away from such a good deal over a deposit. Aside for the "we made a mistake on the quote" the dealership ended up being a pretty good place to buy a car. (Now I just have to deal with driving out of Manhattan ...)

We purchased an 05 Elantra this afternoon - great experience! We have been researching and had an emailed quote from a competitive dealer in our pockets - we were prepared to whip it out during the negotiations if necessary. Found our car on the lot that we wanted, and were approached by a young lady. She was super friendly, and told us that if we wanted to take a test drive, she would need to copy our license. She took our licenses and came out a few minutes later with the keys, told us a route to take that included some highway driving, and told us to have a good time! We got back, told her to find out what the best deal they could give us would be - told her we had no trade-in and no financing (we had already arranged our financing through our credit union). She said great and came back with an offer that was far better than the emailed quote we had with us! (quote was for the exact same car minus the mats and mud guards and was $14110.00 - so basically MSRP with free cruise and stereo upgrade.) Here is the breakdown: 05 Elantra GLS 4 door MSRP $14149.00 Cruise Control $250.00 AM/FM/CD upgrade $350.00 Mats $75.00 Mud Guards $60.00 Freight $545.00 TOTAL MSRP 15429.00 She came back with an offer of $13,095. Not bad, but we told her that we had no desire for the mats or the mud guards, and that they could just take them off. She took off $135.00 and presented us with $12,960.00 We told her to make it an even $12900, she said OK, we said OK and signed on the dotted line. They took the car to the back, washed her up nice and clean, filled her up with gas and sent us on our way! (OK, there was a bit more than that - took about an hour to sign all of the paperwork, verify our insurance, and go over all of the manuals, but not bad at all.) She brought the car to us, handed us the keys, and said, "they may have forgotten to take the floor mats out and mud guards off, but Im sure you won't mind". Hee hee. Maybe we didn't get the best deal out there, but we are in the chicago market, and the fact that the transaction went so smoothly was worth it! No haggling, No problems, and they were all very nice to us, and never pushy. Woo Hoo, I love it when things go well! Out the door price was just under $13900 with taxes and title and registration fees. |

Outstanding deal! Believe me, you'll be happy to have the mud guards and especially the floor mats, as the carpet itself is a bit thin. The mats are nice because they have hooks to hold them in place, and they are worth the $$. I have two sets, one for winter, one for summer. Is your car automatic or manual transmission? Either way, you'll really love this car. My 2001 GLS is nearly four years old, and will roll 56K miles today (and I just paid it off -- hooray!), and I still love this car alot. It continues to be wonderful. P.S. Other Chicago buyers might want the name of your dealer!

I bought on 5/3/05 a 2005 Elantra GT 5 door, 5 speed in electric red with #8 pkg-anti-lock, skid control and moonroof for $14100(no 400college or 500military rebate) out the door including tax and tags. We purchased it at Burn's Hyundai in Marlton NJ. We were looking for a couple weeks and had a hard time with finding a 5 speed with #8 pkg in electric red. I talked and emailed several dealers and they said this car does not exist. Burn's was the only dealer that found 4 for dealer trade. The dealership was great, no game playing or add on's. I have had this car about 2 weeks and 800 miles and love the car. I am averaging about 31mpg so far. My last hyundai was a 98 elantra wagon. It was never in for anything but normal maintenance. I just gave it to my son with 148000 running and looking great. |
