Page 1-3 of 2006 Sonata Owner's Manual: "...You can contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hynduai by observing the following recommendations during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) 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

Replying to: miamixt (Mar 24, 2006 9:04 pm) 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! S |

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. |

Replying to: backy (Mar 25, 2006 7:14 am) Any time longer, I have the used car interest rate which is a point higher than new car rate. I have to have the loan at least 3 months or Hyundai has a penalty. So I don't think the aggrevation is worth the few hundred dollars. Thanks for the extended warranty info, I'll wait on that purchase. I know since I keep cars it is really not an issue, but I'm finding the Hyundai depreciates alot, quickly (compared to Honda). I always liked knowing I had some "equity" in my car. Should that be a concern? Thanks. S |

Backy is the voice of reason, and will be giving his Kids both Elantras soon, so he can get an LX. Save the $1100 on the Warranty for now. Also, see if you can qualify to finance just $10,000 through HMFC to obtain the additional $1000 discount. While there is no special A.P.R. rate offered, you can refinance after, at no penalty. I understand what you are saying about the other 1 point. I finally wasn't approved and paid Cash , yet the $1000 rebate was built into my deal, and wound up being a 'deal saver'. I notice you live in Florida?. I live in South Florida, and another Floridian from New Port Richie wound up with a $18.1K LX. If I use creative Math I can beat those figures too. Can you obtain a junker Hyundai for the other $1000 rebate. And the new National Commercials are touting up to $3500 in rebates, with the $500 Auto show coupon, find an Auto show?. Yes Hyundai's depreciate more than you think. Whatever you do, the price you mentioned was OK, but the Car you are buying is way OK!. Good luck, let us know what happened?.

Replying to: suzannafl (Mar 25, 2006 8:03 am) The higher rate of depreciation on Hyundais vs. Hondas is made up for by the lower purchase price. For example, I assume you have priced a comparable Accord V6 with leather and sunroof, and you know that it will cost you thousands more than the price quote you got on the Sonata LX. The fact is, it will be some time before you have equity in any new car; they lose thousands almost the moment you drive them off the lot. Since you keep cars [awhile?], it is not an issue. |
