Replying to: ray h (Aug 28, 2004 7:47 pm) Is there any way to confirm when. |
|
| No, I was just referring to the annual model "changeover" - even if there's no actual change to the Sonata model until the completely revamped 2006 is released in the U.S. (When that happens, we 2000-2004 Sonata owners will really see our cars' value head to the cellar.) since the Amantis debuted as a totally new line in 2004, I don't see any changes for several years unless someone else has information to the contrary. What I do see happening, is use of the Amanti platform for the next generation XG350. I thought I read that KIA would get first dibs on the new platform to help the marque establish a serious name for itself before it was released for use by Hyundai's own big kahuna line. Hyundai dealers weren't happy with Corporate's marketing decision since the current XG350 is getting a little long in the tooth. | |
Dealer gave me that price when I contacted the internet manager. Is that a good price? Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi there I went for my first Sonata test drive this past Saturday after initial mid-week contact through an internet sales site. I'll be going back tonight to drive the Elantra GT (dealer only had the base model on Saturday) but am leaning very seriously towards the Sonata. Anyone out there have any idea whether or not I might still be eligible for the rebate since I began looking while the offer was in effect? Also, if anyone has had any experiences with buying in Austin, I'd appreciate any feedback. And, if anyone has recent experience with purchasing an LX with package 7, I'd love to find out what you paid. Thanks!

Replying to: parimi (Aug 06, 2004 4:53 pm) We are trying to buy hyundai sonata LX with option 6 or 7 with all the options and Doten Hyundai in Richmond is offering the car for 17700 after rebate before tax. Does this sound fine or should we negotiate further? This price is given by the internet dept and it seems they are not ready to negotiate. Please let me know thanks

The dealer will be more inclined to seriously negotiate as new model introductions draw closer. Never forget that 1> you're the person with the checkbook (which puts YOU in control if you're smart enough and patient enough to exercise it) and 2> dealers need to sell end of year 2004s more than you need to rush to buy one. (Sounds like the turkey's playing head games with you.) You're in further control if you can pay cash or arrange your own financing. Are there other Hyundai dealers within reasonable distance? (Don't be afraid to play 'em off against each other - competition's a grand thing...) Remember, too, that you won't get any dealer's best offer off the internet. You'll need to do a sit-down for that. Also, the selling dealer is not your only source for warranty service and the service departments are under seperate management from the sales departments - shop for your best price and take the car to the closest dealer for warranty work.

| Based on postings on the Edmunds Hyundai boards, the alleged "2005" Sonata will arrive around March, 2005. (I'm personally uncertain whether it'll really be officially a "2005" or a "2006 early introduction"...) Pricing? Anyone's guess - the ol' rumor mill runs rampant on the 'net. The new Sonata will be a brand new design, built in a brand new U.S. factory in Montgomery, Alabama, with brand new engine designs. Sure you wanna be a 1st year guinea pig? I took considerable heat from the "rah-rah, pom-pon" Hyundai cheer-leading section (and maybe at least one or more Hyundai Corporate "suits" trolling this board) for suggesting a wait and see attitude. And, that's fine - opinions, mine or anyone else's, are worth exactly what you pay for them. Nevertheless, I still stand behind that advice. Both the "Hyundai Sonata Owners: Problems and Solutions", and the "Hyundai is the greatest car line available to the public" boards could literally "explode" during the remainder of the 2005 model year after these cars hit the dealer showrooms. By July we should have a clearer picture whether the company was realistic in its goals or overly optomistic. | |
