Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 16, 2006 8:43 pm) Here it goes: I don’t have extensive credit history so I knew that obtaining financing at a really good rate would be difficult but I was prepared for this. I went to a Brooklyn dealership and I negotiated the price on a GLS V6 with sunroof. The dealership insisted that the rebate was taxable (price+delivery+TTL-Rebate=OTD) which I thought was a little off. I was ok with it though because I was comfortable with the price. The finance guy told me that it would be difficult to get financing because of my lack of credit history (again, I was prepared for this). I was told to stop by the next day to pick up the car. Lo and behold the dealership could not find a lender. I was told to call the next day which I did. However, the salesperson and finance guy would not return my phone calls. This went on for another day and I finally went it to face a barrage of excuses. When I cancelled the deal, the manager, salesperson and finance guy got upset when I would not give them another chance. The Manhattan dealership offered me a rate of 20.5% ! And that’s after the manager pulled some strings to get me a loan. I gave a $3k down payment and was assured by two salesmen that the money would be refunded the same day if I declined the deal. They lied. I declined the deal but the dealership has not refunded my money and it’s been almost three weeks. I recently found out that retailers including car dealerships are supposed to post their refund policy as per NYS retail. This dealership has not posted a refund policy and is in clear violation of the law. I’ve contacted my bank in order to receive a charge-back, I have submitted a complaint to Hyundai, and the BBB and I’m filing a complaint with the NYS Attorney General. Sorry for the lengthy post

I have a question. If you by a hyundai at a dealer that is farther away from your house because that dealer gives you a better deal can you take it to the closes dealer to have it serviced under warranty. Thank you

I was told by the dealer when I bought the car that I need to pay tax on the pre-rebate price, then apply the rebate to reduce how much I really owe. The reason was that they said the rebate is used to help pay for the car, and does not reduce the purchase price. Any other experieces?

After doing lots of research--including reading this forum--I just bought a GLS4 for $15561 (after $500 rebate and $1000 HMFC rebate) + TTL for an OTD price of $17012. This was at Howard Hyundai in Elmhurst. I got the $15561 quote through the internet and subsequent emails from the dealer. They told me that there would be no hidden or surprise charges when I went in to buy, and that turned out to be the case. I'm very happy with the car, the price, and the whole purchasing experience.
