Price quote by smeg

I've just been quoted $19300 for a 2006 GLS V6 with sunroof in Lynn, MA ... anyone know if this is a good price? I picked the invoice price for car and package from Consumer Reports and here, and emailed a local dealer telling them this price. $19300 was their reply.
 
Wondering if I can do better!

If you want to see if your price is good, do this.
goto fitzmall.com and find the same car with the same options, by searching their site.
If you can get close to their price, then you're doing really good.
 
just FYI...

Hi Phill,
 
I'm in the Tampa/Clearwater area, so you have my interest!
 
I've been researching the LX with leather and sunroof.
Can you tell me what your GLS I4 has differently?
 
Thanks,
S

I generally don't leave my keys in the car when I'm not in it, so I don't know how they'd get locked in. Besides, free 5-year roadside assistance would get them out pretty easily.
 
WRONG about road side assistance... The service is contracted out to an outfit like AAA; and they use local towing people, not the Hyundai Dealerships, who have no access to keys!
And they can't tow your car because the ignition and wheels are locked!
Depending on where you lock yourself out, it may take a day or two to get back in the car, if you don't have a spare somewhere.
And there is no way they can pick the locks without damaging something! Usually they are not equipped for that anyway; nor trained!

Interesting, not seen them before. They don't have the model I want, but they list at $16,762, I guess the base V6
 
I'm now looking at automall.com and they have the model I want at $18,459, but the base model at $17,665 which seem good prices.

Try that (fitzmall) and also Hyundai of Newport Richey (Corner US19/ SR54)
You have to be a good haggler and you may beat the best price anywhere.
 
Best time to buy a car: the last day of the month because of Dealer's quota... if they need the sale to qualify for that month bonus/incentives they will sell it at a loss... because a dealer's bonus is usually in the 10s of thousands, if they reach a certain quota!
So they make up nicely for the few hundreds they lost to sell that last car!
The LX is the better buy... because for a few dollars more you get a lot of features the GL/GLS don't have or are options!
MPG between the I4 and the V6 are insignificant in the 2006 model.

"Did you check the manual to see if the car is in Valet mode?".
 
No, I breezed by the manual, need to go back and learn some more. What would that mode have done for me?. I do carry the Valet key in my Wallet if that counts

I had a flat tire once, and it took them 2 hours to show up... I am sorry I waited because I could have replaced it myself in half an hour at the most!
 
Don't believe everything you read!

they say they will change your Tire, but they make no claims as to when . I've talked to them before, they sound somewhat inexperienced, but helpful. I like the fact that Hyundai will pay even for non mechanical breakdowns too. You might have this same type of towing benefit with your Visa or Master Card or your personal Insurance.
 
But what bothers me the most about tb88's post, is my little key lock code plate that comes with the keys is missing!. Dealers can't make new keys without the code, or can they?
