#236 of 6610 Sonata details by kirb Dec 15, 2004 (8:22 am)
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. Replies to this message: ray h (Dec 16, 2004 12:21 pm)

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.

Replying to: ray h (Dec 15, 2004 6:57 am) Ray, looks like we got the same deal. With sales tax, my out-the door price was about $2600 under the factory sticker also. The car came with a pin-stripe (no charge) and all 4 splash guards (no charge) also. We certainly got a great bang-for-the-buck, eh? I haven't seen anything yet that gives the Sonata serious competition at this price bracket. Naturally, the only fly in this "soup" is the car's rapid depreciation, which is well known, a real cost to be sure, but less of a factor the longer you keep the car. At this point, I see no reason to not keep it for the long term. Why get rid of something that we like so much and serves our needs so well? We now have 4 Sonatas in our extended family and one Elantra GT... no problems with any.
#239 of 6610 $4000 rebate? by hayafirst Dec 28, 2004 (6:35 am)
I watched a TV commercial saying Hyundai is offering $4000 rebate or 0% APR. Does anyone take advantage? Any experience to share? Thanks. Replies to this message: kirb (Dec 28, 2004 8:46 am) danf1 (Dec 28, 2004 11:58 am) guiniveve (Jan 05, 2005 12:26 am) helpermatt (Feb 02, 2005 9:37 am)

Replying to: hayafirst (Dec 28, 2004 6:35 am) Even when the rebate was $2000, you were better off taking the cash than the 0%. 4K would be wonderful! I haven't seen it advertised, but then I've already bought. The SV package on the Sonata with the heated seats for the same price as before, is icing on the cake!

Replying to: hayafirst (Dec 28, 2004 6:35 am) It is "up to" 4000. That is on the xg350 with 2500 factory rebates and 1500 owner loyalty rebates. Replies to this message: guiniveve (Jan 05, 2005 12:26 am) helpermatt (Feb 02, 2005 9:37 am)
#242 of 6610 Did i get a good deal? by guiniveve Jan 05, 2005 (12:26 am)
Replying to: danf1 (Dec 28, 2004 11:58 am) I'm never bought a newer car before and this was my first experience. I bought a 2001 GLS Sonata V-6 , fully loaded( moonroof, leather interior,wood paneling, heated seats and mirrors, upgraded wheels, cd player, auto seats locks etc.) with 44,000 for $8500.00. The internet price on the dealership website was 11,083, when we got to the lot they wanted 10,999.00 and I talked them down to the 8500$ including full tank of gas, first service free, and factory touch up paint. (Though there are no scratches on the car.) The car is in excellent condition and has the maintance log including service receipts still in the dashboard. Is this a good deal? I don't know much about cars, but have owned a 97 Accent for several years and love it. So, we decided to stick with Hyundai when we bought another car.

#243 of 6610 Chrome Grille by dhyde3 Jan 06, 2005 (11:28 am)
I own a 2004 Sonota. I am looking for a chrome or metal upper grille for my beautiful white Sonota. I have been unable to locate one through the dealer or the aftermarket suppliers. Some aftermarket suppliers have a lower grille, but no luck on the upper. I would even be interested in something that I could apply to my present black grille to make it appear chome. Does anyone know a a reliable contact for this? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Jan 06, 2005 12:48 pm)

You can also check the regular Sonata discussion, which you can locate using the search tools at the left.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Smart Shopper & Future Vehicles discussions
#245 of 6610 Bruised and battered, but victorious by jetgraphics Jan 14, 2005 (1:45 pm)
After missing the super rebates that ended on Jan 3, 2005, we continued in our quest for that elusive "great deal". The closest dealer didn't have a base Sonata GL 5M, so he wouldn't dicker. The second dealer agreed to our price via email, but then reneged when we arrived for the appointment. After several faxes to the dealership owner, we agreed to buy a 2005 Sonata GL 5M for $13200 (drive out price) + trade in (1992 Excel). Plus, they're going to deliver it to us.   That's g-g-g-reat!
