I purchased my '06 Sonata GL in August of '05, so hope it isn't too out of date to be helpful. I paid 15,500.00+TTL at Power Hyundai in Torrance, CA. (that reflects 2k worth of incentives, and then some discounting from the dealer)
I have been quite happy with the car- I now have 10k+ miles on it.

Sonata LX V6 in Dallas for $17,200 by randydaw

Bought it today. Freeman Hyundai in Irving, salesman said he could do this until further notice - they were trying to calm down the competition a bit. This was almost $1000 less than my 2nd lowest bid after a week of serious searching.
They also gave top dollar on my trade of an '03 Durango. Freeman has lots of Sonatas right now. All of us who were in there were buying, and all were impressed with the straightforward, bottom dollar deals we were getting.

forgot to mention I DID get the owner loyalty discount of $500, so this is probably not a world record or anything.

Bit off topic here but I went to their website and saw the price for a GLS of $15,888.00, sure beats the prices they are quoting here in San Antonio. Hopefully they don't try to tack on bogus fees like they try to do here. I may end up having to drive up to Irving for that price.

Yes, that's a legitimate price and I'm not even sure if it's the very best you can do. I'd suggest making your best deal at another place based on their ad, and then calling and asking Freeman to beat it.
When I called, it was legitimately to tell them thanks for their offer, but I was doing business closer to home. The salesperson asked what it would take to get me to leave the table at the other dealership and drive to see him. I told him $1000, he said he'd try, and when I got there he actually beat my previous deal by a little over $800 - on the first offer. I might have been able to get the other $200, but it was so close to closing time that I didn't want to drive the 120 mi round trip again today to get the car.
Freeman is now in "no one is taking our business if we can help it" mode.
 
Oh and one more thing... there were no bogus fees, no pinstripes or coatings, and no pressure to buy extended warranties at closing (I had to ask to see the price sheet, which was very reasonable for wrap-around coverage).
 
The final price given by the salesman was EXACTLY the price at the finance office.
 
Good luck!

Try for the LX by randydaw

For 1400 over the ad price on the GLS you could get an LX with:
 
  leather all around - very nice feel to it,
  better touches and decor on the dash and console,
  an improved climate control system,
  17" alloy wheels (16" in the GLS), and
(most important to me:)
  steering wheel with telescope as well as tilt.
I "sit" 6'4" so headroom was a problem even without a sunroof. With the telescope steering, I can lean back much more comfortably, with much better visibility, without reaching with my (shorter than average) arms for the wheel.
 
I am anatomically a bit weird with short arms and legs, so this might not matter to you, but telescope is only available in the LX trim.
 
The saleman invited me to send others for the same deal, so I'm taking him at his word....

Thanks for the information, if the local dealers can't match my offer then I will call the dealership to see what they can do. Here they try to add on all the extra's that you mentioned in addition to VIN etching (395.00) which I want no part of.

Stick to your guns. The dealership is trying to assume the superior position in the negotiations.
 
If you don't want pin striping tell them you won't pay for it, whether or not the car they want to sell you has it. Window etching, the same thing--only worse. At least pin striping may make the car look better. Window etching does diddly-suat. Both are unnecesary and just HUGE profit margins for the dealer.
 
$395 for window etching? It doesn't cost them $50 to do it (labor included). If window etching were so valuable why doesn't the manufacruter do it like they do with most (or all?) outer panels of the car?
