Thanks for your reply mate.
 
Actually I was quoted $17124.00 - OTD with premium sports package.
Is this a good deal? Or should I bargain for more. I have not started the bargain process yet.
  
The car price quoted was 15,640.00. Let me know
 
Thanks again.

After market stuff by jollyprince

Yesterday I bought a 2004 Hyunda Sonata XL with everything. Alas, it does not have everything. Signal strength of radio was weak with volume control requiring much turning to get small changes and AVC not up to par. Would really like dual sun visors ala Lincoln and Buick. Automatic headlights and oncoming car dimmers not available. Are these features available for my Sonata anywhere? In so many ways this car is superior to others I have owned, yet you get to missing certain things when you have to give them up.
 
Also outside temperature indicator, mpg calculator display,
jollyprince.

Bought a 2007 white Sonata SE (prefered package)last week. Paid 23K OTD but had 5k neg equity. Thus with the 2k rebate, minus tax/title, I paid about 19k real world. Not great but not bad either.

The 2004 Sonata has a standard-size radio box, so replacing the radio with a good aftermarket unit should be pretty easy, and not too expensive (plus you can upgrade to satellite, aux input etc.). Not sure what you mean by automatic headlights, but I thought the 2004 Sonata had auto on/off headlights (i.e. leave the switch On, and the lights turn off when you shut down the engine and take the key out, and turn on when you start the car). Auto dimmers? Not a common option in family sedans, Sonata included.
 
Most new Sonatas (except the base model with no packages) have a trip computer with mpg readout. I am surprised your Sonata LX, which was the top of the line in 2004, doesn't have a trip computer. Hyundai doesn't put outside temperature gauges in their cars for the U.S. for some reason. You can get one aftermarket (e.g. integrated into the rear view mirror) if you really need one.

Happy Owner of a 2006 Sonata GLS V6 by festyr

Just thought I would register and say Hi all. Bought my Sonata in late march of this year. Was previously a rental I guess but it was a beautiful silver car with only 20,050 miles and in perfect shape. Bought it from Matthews Chrysler-Jeep-Subaru in Vestal NY for around $14,800 OTD.
I guess the only prob I had was the Timing Chain Tensioner was bad ( made a noise I didn't like). To make a long story short my local Hyundai dealership Royal Hyundai of Ithaca (NY) ( gave me a feeling of dealing with a slippery snake) apparently didnt want to fix it, saying that Hyundai knew of the problem but that there was nothing they could do about it.
Funny how there is a TSB and a new replacement part for it eh. Needless to say I got it fixed under warranty by Miller Dodge Hyundai in Vestal NY. They are fantastic and very professional.
Sorry for the long post, Still a bit miffed about my local Hyundai dealership.
