First the manual says there is NO formal break in period for the new Hyundai. It does give suggestions & tips, like not to engage the Cruise Control, and to be easy on the brakes for the first 1000 miles, and yes you are supposed to keep it under 55, but that's when using the temporary spare only

Good offer? by mejoza

I have a dealer offering me a '06 Sonata GLS 4cyl for $17,299 +T,T&L. The dealer is 160 miles from my home. I've warned him that I dont want to drive for 3 hours only to be suprised by unexpected fees, and he says that wont be the case.
 
What do you guys think?
 
Under any circumstances will dealers fax or e-mail an invoice or a write-up on the offer? What would you do in this situation?

I wouldn't drive 160miles for a $200-300 savings... stick with a local dealer if that's what you're saving!
Would you drive 160 miles (320 miles round trip), every time there is a little problem to fix? (not counting wear and tear/ gas/ time lost...)
 
Sure the local dealer may be willing to take a look at it, if that occurs, but I don't think he will be very eager to do it promptly.
 
It is usually the selling dealer who takes care of that: it is part of the prep charges!

Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 kmh)...."

Planning on buying this week-end to replace my beloved 15 year old Accord that has 194,000 miles.
 
Internet price for Pearl White Sonata LX with sunroof is $20,700.
$22,566 out the door.
$1,118 for extended 10 year bumper to bumper.
Prices seem in line, looking for second (or more) opinions.
 
Also, what do you think the chances of this car lasting as long as my Accord?
 
Thanks,
S

I just put the Manual in my Car, sorry. I am not sure there has been one Car I've kept to 55 during the first 1200 Miles. My car came with a 110 miles/six month demonstration period, so the Engine is somewhat broken in by total strangers who did lord knows what to it. Plus I've had the V6 carefully up to about 80 and it is smooth yet it growls, what a great Car!

Your price seems too high. How much are the Rebates?. And don't buy the Warranty. You are getting America's best factory Warranty program to begin with. My out the door price was $3000 less. I'm still amazed my deal went through, and a couple of us have scored an LX out the door for less than $19,000. I can't explain it, aside from repeating what another Poster observed: "They seemed to be buying my Business". In my case, the Dealer needed to sell a car, more than I needed to buy it, now that's weird?. Best time to buy a Car is when no one else is present in the Showroom, on a really bad day or Week for them. A bad Month is even better Good luck on the LX, you'll love it!

A friend of mine got $3,000 worth of rebates.
My price includes a $1,000 rebate for V6 or something like that.
I'm not financing through HMFC, so not taking that rebate.
Nor eligible for the repeat buyer or anything else.
 
Where are you located?
When did you buy?
I don't think I am going to find a dealer needing to sell!

The invoice on this car is $23,065. Since it looks like you are only getting $1000 in rebates, it looks like you are getting an excellent price. You might consider financing through HMFC just to get the rebate--you can refinance at any time.
 
Also you do not need to buy the extended warranty now. You have until the car is one year old or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. The extended warranty will do you no good in the first year unless you drive more than 60k miles. So you may want to wait and shop around in a year. You can buy the extended warranty from any Hyundai dealer. If you really want to buy it now, perhaps letting the dealer know that you know that you can wait will result in a better offer on it.
 
If you take good care of the car, it should last a long time. The quality of Hyundais is superior to that of Hondas from 15 years ago.
