I am posting this to warn potential Hyundai buyers in the Dayton/Cincinnati area of my mother-in-law's experience with Voss Hyundai in Centerville. She had agreed over the phone with a salesman there to a price of $17,700 for a Black GL Sonata. (additional details: $100 doc fee, 6.3% HMFC rate for 60 mo, tax around $1100) She went to the dealer to pick up the vehicle after work. When she got there, the salesman said someone else was test driving the car, and they had first choice. (She thinks they said that because the other customer offered a higher price even though the salesman had already agreed to sell it to her) They sold the car to the other customer and she walked out.  I guess we'll try again at another dealer if Hyundai renews the rebates.

While this is a BS paperwork fee to close out the deal, the dealer can negate it by reducing the price of the car by an amount equal to the fee. It is not ADM, at least in CT. It is a separate fee that the state requires to be shown as a processing fee to the dealer. Wanna bet it was proposed by lobbyists for car dealers? Liberal legislators would have jumped on it under the guise of "consumer protection." The fee varies from dealer to dealer. That's why I suggested to backy that this fee should be included when posting prices. His reply of a full listing of all prices was even better. I posted earlier that I bought in FL while I live in CT. FL dealer conveyance fee was pre-printed on sales contract, as it was in CT. FL dealer's fee was $90 higher, but it didn't matter because the price was about $1500 lower. FL dealer simply discounted the price more. Years back this fee was nominal. It's become a major profit generator. Even when it was $50 I felt is was a rip off. What other product do you buy and have the seller charge you extra to process the paper work of the sale?

| I purchased my 2nd Sonata LX in the past year from Keffer Hyundai in Charlotte, NC. I liked our 2005 LX so much I couldn't resist the 2006 after having driven it. I paid 21,200 out the door after the $3000 in rebates (Aquamarine/Tan). I guess it was an ok deal but I probably could have done better with more haggling. The taxes, tags and fees seemed a bit high but I am very happy overall. It's amazing how much different the 2 Sonatas look parked side by side. If you weren't familar with them you'd never know they were the same make and model. I can only hope the new one gives us the same troublefree performance as the 2005 has thus far. I know the wife will be happy to be driving the 2005 everyday after all the hassles we have had lately with our aging Chrysler products('94 Concorde and '94 Dakota). It's about junkyard time for those 2 vehicles. | |

For about $500 you get mats (extra on the GL), fog lamps (Honda charges over $500 for those on a new Civic), alloy wheels, steering-wheel audio controls, lumbar support, automatic headlights, trip computer, chrome trim, and nicer sill plates. The alloys alone are probably worth about $500.
