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.

#220 of 6610 Sonata Purchased Thursday by dsmith3 Oct 16, 2004 (4:38 am)
Drove a Sonata rental in Boston last weekend, decided to buy one this week. Very impressed with the looks, quality and performance. Mileage similar to my 2001 Prizm but larger car with more room.   With rebates($2000 and $1000 loyalty), negotiation and paying cash got a base model, 4 cylinder automatic for $12,700. The dealer even threw in a trunk cargo net, first oil change and discounts on parts, service and a car care kit.   Salesman was a young beginner, but was not pushy, although a little "green" on giving information.   So far, pleased with the deal.

Replying to: ray h (Nov 09, 2004 4:54 pm) My sincerest apologies for yelling in Internetspeak.   Does anyone have any opinions on the best prices to pay for a year 2004 Hyundai Sonata GLS no options, an LX no options, and an LX with moonroof and ABS with traction control?   Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
#224 of 6610 Buying Experience in Freehold NJ by rkw2 Nov 12, 2004 (1:43 pm)
I had looked at the Sonata at Freehold Hyundai a couple of years ago. I was not impressed with with the salesmen/managers and buying experience so I got up in the middle of negotiations and walked out. Went dow the road to Mazda and was pleasantly surprised and gave them my money. What was your buying experience like???
#225 of 6610 Im from the Central NJ area by alpha01 Nov 12, 2004 (9:33 pm)
And had a similarly high pressure, uninformed salesman practically shoving an Elantra down my throat. All I wanted was to test drive the car, and know if I could get one with ABS. He said they didnt have any with ABS, but explained to me that the brakes are fine without ABS, and told me that ABS didnt really work anyway, because your wheels will still lock. Right. I would personally not recommend Freehold Hyundai/Jeep to anyone I know.   ~alpha
#226 of 6610 Get the Exact Car You Want by riez Nov 13, 2004 (7:24 am)
alpha1... If you are looking for some specific options and your local dealer(s) don't have one equipped that way, see if they'll do a dealer locate to find one and then an inter-dealer trade to get it to you. Back in 2000, when I went looking for a loaded Sonata GLS V6 5-speed manual with Pkg 13 (which got you ABS and traction control), I had to do a locate. Dealer found one car, which was about 600 miles away. We arranged the inter-dealer trade.   Don't buy any car today, esp. a Hyundai, without ABS! The publised test results of Hyundai without ABS haven't been too good. Things like lengthy stoppig distances, lock up, etc. I remember how hard it was in 1999-2000 to find Hyundais with ABS. They were shipping few over and putting them on the most expensive option package.
