Replying to: tb88 (Apr 04, 2006 5:24 am) It also looks like the V6 is becoming a better deal all the time. It now has a standard $2K rebate compared to the $500 rebate for a I4. Also more dealers seem to bend on their price more for the V6. They also took the valued owner rebate down from $1K to $500 for all trims. The maximum rebates you could get in March are excluding college and military rebates: V6 Models: $3K ($1K for standard rebate, $1K for HMFC, and $1K for Previous Ownership) I4: $2500 ($500 for standard rebate, $1K for HMFC, and $1K for Previous Ownership) Now the Maximum you can get is the following excluding military and college rebates: V6: $2500 ($2K for standard rebate and $500 for previous ownership) I4: Here is where it really makes a difference. $1000 ($500 for standard rebate and $500 for previous ownership).

Replying to: 94hawkskin (Apr 04, 2006 2:26 pm) Material costs including steel and others, are skyrocketing. Transportation costs, including oil are too. This is in part due to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar and in part due to increased demand for materials and oil, chiefly in China. Look at house prices. Some of their increases are due to materials and labor and transportation costs. Some of the increase is due to easy credit. Some (much) is due to speculators who were looking to ride the wave to its top and then unload. The unloading is beginning right about now. As the real estate bubble continues to deflate, people will choose to spend their devalued credit dollars elsewhere. Maybe the stock market, maybe gold or silver, maybe commodities. But maybe consumer goods in an effort to own at least something tangible and arguably useful during a time of rapid debasement of the dollar. And consumer goods includes cars. U.S. car makers are so far in debt it is not likely they will pull out of their predicaments without bankruptcies, which drives up prices for everyone. And, if more U.S. car nameplates are abandoned, competition is decreased which also usually causes prices to increase. In spite of what appear to be historical highs, the Dow industrials, in terms of real money (gold and silver), are still down 50% from their highs a few years ago, and are still headed lower. The current rebates on Sonata are still pretty attractive if you have any money or credit left. Good luck and enjoy these exciting financial times. These are the good old days we'll remember in decades to come. |

| I bought a Sonata LX on Apr 1st at 18xxx OTD. The OTD price was negociated thru emails and phone calls before I went into the dealership. Today (Apr 5th) I got a phone call from them saying that the $2000 cash rebate and $1000 finance rebate cannot be had at the same time (which is obviously a lie). They asked me to go back and re-sign the contract but they will keep my financing balance and term the same. It sounds like I don't lose anything but I just don't trust them because they tried several times to fool me even with the printed email with the OTD price on it when I went in to buy it. What should I do? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! | |

Replying to: badday (Apr 05, 2006 4:59 pm) If your purchase price and financing terms stay the same, help the dealer out and re-do the contract. What's the harm? Sounds like they made a paperwork mistake, but are willing to let you keep the benefit of it. They just want to clean up their paperwork.

Replying to: badday (Apr 05, 2006 4:59 pm) I don't think you will be able to legally keep the $2,000 and get the 2.9% financing + 1,000... even though it was their mistake!

Replying to: badday (Apr 05, 2006 7:28 pm) Go read a site like carbuyingtips.com - especially the part regarding the "come back in and re-sign paperwork" scam dealers pull all the time...
