#22 of 5383 pearl white sonota lx for 19,990 by shoper2 Nov 17, 2001 (6:31 pm)
I just came back from a hyundai dealer in hampton, va and saw a sonota lx with a moon roof (sun roof), leather interior, climate control, powered seats, mud flaps, car mats and etc..l. and was told that the dealership is a no haggle zone and was offered to pay 19,990 for the car. Is that a fair price?

I live in So Central Pa. Haven't bought yet but doing my homework. Go to hyundaiusa.com. You can spec out a car and send request to several dealers.Unless the car u looked at had pkg6 (incl ABS),19990 was sticker price.Not all bad as I think Sonata is good value. A dealer in Balto MD quoted 18537, local dealer 750 off MSRP, and a nearby dealer above MSRP. Sonata's are not plentiful on dealer's lots, LX in particular.So not much bargaining power. U can check website of lg dealers (Fitzgerald Auto Mall in DC area) and see what's avail and "internet" price. Their invoice price looks out of whack, but their sell prices are good. Unless supply picks up the Sonata appears it might be like the Santa Fe where sticker price appears to be common. Do some homework. You live in a good area to have enough dealers to work with. Good luck

And I also assume the car you described was an automatic.

is a great source of pricing and selection info., no matter what car you're looking for. At least with Hyundais, they invariably shoot for Edmunds TMV as their no-haggle price. The only premiums I've ever seen (usually a few hundred $'s) are for very new on lot stock.   Also, the invoice discrepancies are related to the Ad fees for which even Edmunds buying advice recognizes and makes allowance.

You made a good point re advertising fees add-on which Edmunds makes clear, although personally I haven't run into that where I live. Thanks.

Sure glad to help ya.   We bought ours from Champion Hyundai in Austin. It is the 3rd car we bought from them.   However.... I would recomend Jay Brinks I believe was the name. They are in Houston. They were tremendously helpful to us, and really were the ones who kept driving all the other dealers to meet or drop out of the race for our money.   If you do go there, mention my name which is eddie, and you should ask to speak with the salesman who's name is Ed as well.   Yes, they would give me the quote over the phone. I imagine they knew I was pretty serious, as I had in some cases more info than they did. I knew their floor plan $$ etc. But (I have mentioned this on other forums in more depth) You don't want to just get a quote. I would get Sale Orders with the VIN and stock number, then the sales manager or fleet manager would have to sign it, and fax it back to me. This way everyone knows this is a real car.   My fax machine was buring up that day lol.   To be honest, tho I am here... I really don't think Edmunds is that hot a site. It's a good launching pad for buying, but there are other sites that give much more in-depth info that you should have with you, before you buy a car.   I have purchased 8 new cars now, and you really have to go in with your credit report, know your rating. Know what they paid for the car.(thats not the invoice btw) Everything is negotiable don't believe Edmunds... eg. holdback is DEF negotiable, I have never let a dealer keep it all, or sometimes any. Know how long the car has been on their lot. Do NOT finance through the dealer. etc.. I can go on and on.. but I am boring everyone now.   Good luck!!

Thank you very much for the information...
#29 of 5383 Where are the Sonatas? by hawksperch Nov 22, 2001 (3:59 pm)
Follow-up to prior post. I checked 3 dealers lots in Baltimore Md today. One had 4 Sonata, no GLS or LX. Another dealer had (NO EXAGERATION!) at least 300 Elantra, Accents etc - even about 20 Santa Fe - which I rarely see no more than 1 or 2 of. Not ONE 2002 Sonata anywhere to be seen. The 3rd dealer had one base Sonata and was already adding his "bonus" above sticker price. With availability like this, I just don't see that too many sweet deals are going to be out there. Has anyone bought recently ? Where, model, and price pd vs MSRP ??

I took delivery on a 2002 sonata gls w/V6 auto w/sunroof in slate grey with the gls black interior. Absolutely love it. I bought the sonata at rt2 Hyundai in Leominster Ma. I went to Nashua Hyundai in New Hampshire and they were out of Sonata's, and calling around to 5 other dealerships, they had maybe 4 sonata's total, but all 4 cyl/sticks. For the next month or so, the ones being delivered to the dealers are already sold. I had an excellent buying experience and would highly recommend buying from RT2 Hyundai. (see post #1554 in the Hyundai Sonata forum). bottom line was $16,3 on $18,8 sticker with the 10yr/100K bump to bump warranty extension. (expanded: $13.3K (gls) + $700 (bump-to bump) + '94 honda accord coupe w/130k miles) Thanks Nate

Hi, I lived in Minnesota, and they are charging sticker price for the GLS and LX because there are zero availability, so I settled for the base model, silver color. They only have 5 base sonatas available in the entire Twin Cities area. Here was what I paid for:   $15600 + TTL = $16876   MSRP was $16693, options included mug guards, carpet and cargo net.   Sounds like a decent deal to me because they showed me the dealer's cost was $15641.   curtisan
