"Appearance Package" is a synonym for, "Screw the customer for whatever he's too stupid to see through." My dealer had a supplementary sticker that added ~$1,500.00 as a "Local Marketing Adjustment" - same Bovine Stuff by another name. I simply advised my salesman that crap comes off the table before we even go inside to begin the real negotiations. An hour and a half later I drove my new car off the lot for a total out-the-door price (inclusive of taxes and license) of $2,500.00 less than the original Hyundai sticker price before taxes and license. Those tape pinstripes your dealer told you (in a fatherly way no less - sounds like the shyster ought to be nominated for an Oscar...) cost him $700.00? Sheesh, get real. You can buy the dual-stripe self-adhesive rolls at Pep Boys - enough to do both sides of the car - for under $10.00. Took me about thirty minutes to prep the areas and apply 'em. Nothing else other than a single edge razor blade was required. (This isn't rocket science.) That was just two days shy of two years ago to the day. Car and pinstriping both doing fine.

| My $16700 price was after rebate but before state sales tax. My dealer uses NO supplemental sticker or fees or charges to inflate their profit margin. So, I paid roughly $4000 less than the factory sticker on this car. | |
| Looked at and sat in a new Buick Lacrosse recently (not to buy), it had way less leg room in the back than the Sonata,what a shock! and for 28K!!!This is the replacement for the Regal. Also looked at a new Malibu Maxx...nice back seat, but 26 THOU!!!! NO WAY. Also looked at a new Pontiac G-6...22 thousand for plastic wheel covers, no sunroof, and a CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP interior,,you'd better love black plastic. If this car has alloys, sunroof,(still without leather), the price goes to 26K on the sticker. Oh Please! GM can't be serious? | |
BY the way, I've been getting about 22-24mpg to and from work, and 28mpg on the highway at a 65 to 80mph cruise....effortlessly. You gotta love this car. This 2.7 engine really wakes -up around 3500. Most of the time around town, the engine is at 2000 to 2500rpm's for me, not anywhere near its sweet zone.

Replying to: kirb (Dec 15, 2004 8:22 am) Yeah, I've noticed that, too - a definite nudge in the lower back. I've had passengers comment that they didn't know Hyundai used variable valve timing in the 2.7. One of my friends said I was nuts when I told 'im the 2.7 doesn't have variable valve timing. Life can be sweet. |

| I watched a TV commercial saying Hyundai is offering $4000 rebate or 0% APR. Does anyone take advantage? Any experience to share? Thanks. | |
