I am located in central Illinois, and the dealer that I buy my Hyundais from is Pugi Hyundai/Mazda/VW (Pugi of Chicagoland) in Downers Grove, IL. I bought a 2006 Elantra GLS from them in December 2005, and the price on the Elantra (including TTL) was $13,700. The prices I quoted in my earlier post on the 2007 Sonata GLS and Limited were without TTL (tax, title, and license), but include the respective rebates ($500 on the GLS and $1,500 on the Limited) and the respective $500 Loyalty Rebate on each. I would agree that the prices quoted are very good.
 
Pugi is a great dealer, in terms of pricing and otherwise. The prices quoted are their Internet prices. E-mail them (just go to their website, and follow the e-mail link - do a search on Google, as I can't give you any direct contact information due to Edmunds.com rules) you will surprised at their prices. It may even be worth a one-way flight to O'Hare in Chicago! Downers Grove is a SW suburb of Chicago.

Those are indeed good prices.
 
I was quoted by $21800 plus TTL for a 2007 Sonata Limited w/ ultimate package.
After reading your message, I've set my target price to $20500 + TTL. Maybe $19000 for a base limited.
 
Does this sound realistic?

#2998 of 8853 check this price on a 2006: sounds pretty good, maybe a tad high? by 73chevyimpala

I just got a quote today from our new local Hyundai store, a 2006 GLS V6 with sunroof, he claims MSRP is 22,300, quote is 16.9k. What do you guys think?

The MSRP of the GLS V6 with sunroof is $22,395, and invoice is $20,661. If you qualify for the general $2500 rebate, the dealer's quote is $1261 under invoice. That seems like a good deal to me, but it's the end of the month, the end of the model year, and I'm sure the dealer would like to get rid of that '06 Sonata. You might try offering less and see what they say.

The manufactor gives the dealer extra cash on the cars to push them out. What determines what they get are the sales for that type of car the month before. Here are the prices I got today when I picked mine up.
 
21650.00 OTD including
doc stamps 71.00
Tax was about 1350.00
Dealer Prep was 589.00
Transfer tags 125.00
Misc 30.00
Rebates 2000.00
 
This is the car
 
2007 Limited v6
Upgraded sound with roof
mud guards
Trunk Tray
Roof Visor
Floor mats
 
Any questions just ask

#3001 of 8853 Who here has directly benefited from Factory to Dealer Cash?. by miamixt

Ok you got a great Car at a fair price. I have an older 06 LX Model, with almost 1600 Miles on it, and paid much less. My question and I already know the answer... Who gets to keep the Manufacturer to Dealer Cash?. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Customer did?
 
By the way your Post 2942 makes a lot of sense!. Since purchasing a Car is just a numbers game, the OTD price is the only real way to list your Car for comparison. And do you realize you saved .5% from what my County charges for Tax!.

Dealer Prep was 589.00
 
Does this mean the dealer charged $589 just to remove the paper protection and wash the car?

No.. what it means is the dealer adds $589 on a different line to make the purchase price seem less expensive..
 
They don't do anything for the $589, but write it down on your sales agreement..

In this case the $589.00 is how they hide the "advertising" (which the Hyundai dealers say is included on their invoice for $500.00)
 
They know customers hate to pay for something called ADVERTISING so they change it to Dealer Prep.
 
Either way kyfdx is right...it is just another way to pad the bill.

OTD pricing is a meaningless and misleading tool for comparing car prices in this forum. Example:
 
Two people, in two different states, purchase identical vehicles for the exact same price...let's say $20,000.
 
The $20K includes all costs associated with the manufacturer/dealer (dealer fees/charges, optional equipment, destination, ect), but does NOT include costs from the city/state (sales tax, tags, title, ect)
 
Person 1 buys in TN -
Combined city/state sales tax rate is 9.4%
Tags/Title is, say, $200
Total vehicle price is $22,080
 
Person 2 buys in NH, DE, OR -
These states do not have any sales tax (0%)
Tags/Title is, say, $50
Total vehicle price is $20,050
 
Even though these two people negotiated the same price for the same vehicle, the OTD price is more than $2000 different, just because of the state they live in.
 
Please do not use OTD figures.
