That sounds like a good price -- especially if you didn't even take a rebate. I'm shopping in New York too. Can you tell me what dealer you bought from and what the overall experience was like with them?
Thanks

Lemonade2, how did you get that price? They are giving you almost $1600 below INVOICE price and there is No rebate involved. This is absolute amazing.

When I first went in the best I could get them down to was $17,838 (before rebates). This was in the middle of August. I went back every few days and tried to get a better deal but they would not budge.
 
On August 30th I went in and spoke to the salesman. He let me in on 2 manufacturer to dealer incentives.
 
1) If the dealership sells 100 cars in a month there is a bonus for the dealership. As of aug 30st they were at 97. (Also this dealership had NEVER reached 100/month before).
 
2) There is an additional manufacturer to dealer program specific for Sonata sales.
 
I wanted a 4 cylinder Sonata...white was not my first choice and it was the only 4 cylinder they had on the lot as of the 30th...so I left.
 
The next day (Aug 31st) the salesman called and asked if there was anything he could do to sell me the whiteSonata before the month ended. I told him since it was not my first choice in color I needed an additional $1,000 off the price...without even a pause he agreed.
 
So the end result was; I was happy with my deal and the dealership was happy as they ended up selling 104 cars for the month. Everybody won!!

Hi folks,
I'll be buying a Sonata by the end of the month and I'm wondering if anyone on this board has any experience with dealers in the Central Valley in California. I'd be willing to hit the Stockton/Sacramento/Bay Area as well, so any reviews (positive OR negative) would be much appreciated.

I can tell you one place to AVOID. That would be Bob Lewis Hyundai in San Jose. They sold me a 2006 GL on 8/26/06 with only a 'valet' key, no keyfobs nor owner's manual. They cut the keys, gave me one keyfob and ordered the other fob and manual the day I brought the finance check in. Since I was driving another vehicle that day, was informed I would have to bring the car in to have the fob coded. That means I would have to give at least part of a day's pay plus the gas going there and back (90 miles roundtrip). Was informed I could have this done at a dealership that was closer, but might have to pay for this service. As of this date, I am still waiting for these items to be mailed to me. Mail delivery in my neighborhood is unreliable, i.e., get things addressed to other buildings on this block or another street, sometimes missing things I am expecting. These items should have been provided when I drove the car away. Complained to Hyundai via email on their site, no response. Talked to person on their complaint line, no response. I like the car better than when I bought it, but if this is an example of how Hyundai customers are treated, I'll have to spend more for a Camry next time.

2007 Sonata Prices by w9cw

I just received the following price quotes from a local Hyundai dealer. Any comments on the prices would be welcome. Prices include the respective rebates ($500 for GLS, $1,500 for Limited, and the $500 Loyalty Rebate). Prices do not include tax, title, or license fees (obviously).
 
2007 Sonata GLS Automatic w/Premium Package and Carpet Floor Mats, $16,194
 
2007 Sonata Limited, No options, but with Carpet Floor Mats, $18,465.
 
These are valid and firm prices from a dealer that I have bought from previously. And, they apparently want my business again.
 
Now, I just have to decide on which trim, but the price on the Limited is very tempting. I'm just a bit concerned about the fuel economy, and long term maintenance differential cost on the V6 compared to the GLS' I4.

Personally, I would have refused delivery of the car without those items. No original keys (other than the valet key), no keyless entry fobs, and no owner's manual would have raised an immediate red flag with me. Something is very strange here, as all of these items are kept with the "New Car File" on every new Sonata in stock - or other makes - at respective dealers.
 
I've had the direct opposite experience with Hyundai corporate. They have always been very responsive and helpful. I agree with your first sentence, it sounds like this dealer is one to seriously avoid.

hi all,
my friend just purchased an 07 GLS w/auto & prem. package, and i spent more than four hours total negotiating, driving, talking on the phone and etc. it took a long time cuz we were going back and forth between two dealers, and my friend wanted Aqua Blue as exterior color that no dealer had in stock. i purchased an 06 sonata three months ago, and that kinda helped us.. anyway, here are the figures:
Purchase price - $16950.00
5% state tax - $847.50
Doc fee - $290.00
Title fee - $23.00
Total - $18110.50
Rebate - $500.00
----------------------------
OTD - $17610.50
 
i hope this helps potential buyers out there!!

First
  
I always like starting my comments that way.
 
You never said what prem package you got 500,1400,or 1700. If you got the 500 Option Group 02 Premium Package thats a aprox. 1200.00 below invoice and thats just about the cash to dealer. You got a very fair price, a lot better then most.They made about 800.00 on your deal if you got the 02 package.

hey,
i never said what prem. package my friend got only b/c i did not think i had to explain anymore.. my friend got the least expensive option, "prem. package". Other options available are "prem-sport" and "prem. package plus" i guess that clarifies!
