| 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.

Replying to: backy (Dec 01, 2005 1:10 pm) $1,500 difference... not $500! But IMO, it is still a good/great value for the price... What is even a better deal is the the GLS V6 : because for another $1,000 ($1,500-$500 [rebate difference from the 4cyl.] = #1,000; you get a fully loaded car and a lot quieter (it is not that the 4 cyl is too loud but you can still hear it!. So, for a total of an extra $2,500 or less (if you are a good haggler) you get the best deal ever! I wish I took that myself... but I bought mine on the spur of the moment without taking time to evaluate the difference. But I am still happy with the GL... even though I could have been happier with the GLS!!!

Replying to: backy (Dec 01, 2005 4:05 pm) Now I am really pissed off for not getting the GLS for an extra $500! I wish I did not rush into it, before evaluating both styles! |

Robert: Just curious, the actual price of the car was what? Was it $22,100 before the rebates, taxes, etc? |
