Mpansare1 - your email address is private. In any case, Antwerpen Hyundai in Catonsville/Baltimore. Do NOT go to Antwerpen Hyundai in Clarksville - same company but not nearly as willing to work with you as the folks in Baltimore. Email me if you want a POC.

I live in the Columbus area and was wondering what dealership you are working with. I'm interested in a fully loaded LX, but the Dealer where I bought my 2003 wasn't willing to come down enough in my opinion. I was in for routine maintenance on my current one and was just killing time when a salesman approached me. Dennis Hyundai is the Dealership and they are or at least this guy was high pressure. Had to walk away.

dcurran, don't despair. I think you got that wonderful price precisely because the incentive WAS in place. I got a deal on an LX for $17,200 for a base LX without sunroof last month, and I was wondering how you got the extra $1000+ worth of options for only $250 more. I don't think you could have done better, or at least not appreciably better.
 
Perhaps I'm the one who should have waited! But then I would have had to drive my old car over memorial day weekend...

You 2 guys should stop crying!!!...lol You both got fantastic deals that have the rest of us drooling! FWIW, the internet guy at Freeman in Irving offered me $19,261 for a 2006 LX w/o the sunroof/CD changer option. Based on your deal I figure that's at least $1600 too high. So much for the deals in north Texas...
 
Had 1 salesman (not impressive at all) who told me no way are loaded LXs going for under $19000 after the rebate. He wouldn't even get near $20K - needless to say we walked and fast....He was one of those guys who said he had a "great deal" for us (needless to say his definition and mine were different) but only on that day!! Name of the dealer was Hyundai Auto Mall in Kyle, TX, just north of San Marcos on I-35.

The sales tax was based on $9800. The sales price, $17450 - $7650( trade-in ). Sales tax in MA is 5%.
Their doc fee was $299. I said that was a ridiculus amount for paperwork and he said "we have to make money somewhere". Anyway, total taxes, feed registration was $800
What is very interesting is how they write up the sale. The sales numbers put into the bill of sale don't reflect anywhere near to how the actual deal was done.

I agree with how the dealers confuse some people about the adtual price. What needs to be done is take the OTD price and subtract sales tax and other fees paid to the state (environmental fees such as tire, battery, tax stamp, whatever) to determine the actual price. Trade-ins also confuse the actual price of the new vehicle as dealers can play with the trade-in value.
 
Used to be, maybe still is, dealers would show on paper a higher trade-in allowance offset by a higher new car price so they could show a person buying your used car what they paid for your car in order to sell your used car for more money.

Only work with invoice prices. Get the invoice prices from Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book. Only work with invoice price of LX, I think it is around $20,981 plus premium option of sunroof/CD changer, $1300? I am travelling so I dont have the actual numbers. That amount is $22281. Subtract $2,500 incentive plus $500 if you are a current Hyundai owner and you are down to $19281. Take $19281 - $600 advertising fee ( negotiable fee for TV advertising. Will appear on their invoice if they show it to you ). Now you are at
$18,681. This was essentially the net net amount. From here it was playing one dealer off the other. Let them know that the vehicle they have is not the one you want. Make it appear that you are not getting what you ( ex: color of interior/exterior )and negotiate based on what they do have on the lot. They will lower their price to make the deal worth it. The guy took $800 off to take one of the vehicles he had on the lot. At this point, you continue to go back and forth between calling the dealers to say that you have gotten a better deal at another dealer. Don't visit them until you think you have gotten close to their final number. Once I got to $17,800 he said he wouldn't quote any more numbers over the phone. I then visited the dealer and continued to work the numbers from there. Finally, make sure you are talking with the sales manager, he/she is the only one who can get to the lowest dollar amount.

Note that the invoice prices at Edmunds.com do NOT include the advertising fees. The dealer's invoice may show these, however.

Very good point bhmr59 on how the sales slip is written up.
The said on it they gave me $9600 for my trade. They actually gave me $7,650. You're right, when the are prepared to show someone my "old" car they will show them the $9600 amount "trade-in". That way if they sell it for $10,000, they can say "we only made $400", when in fact, they'll make $2,350. Very sneaky move and without a doubt I'm sure they would do this.
