Option 1: 2006 Sonata XL w/o premium package 20,000 miles Negotiated price: $14,000 Option 2: 2006 Sonata XL w/ premium package (sunroof, cd changer, subwoofer) 13,000 miles Negotiated price: $15,500 I need to close a deal by Friday evening. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

That will let them know where the car came from. I paid $14000 for my 06 GLS and that was our cost. I'd do the CarFax and if it was clean go for the LX with the bells and whistles. Finally someone here who decides to look at a used Sonata. If you're going to keep it for awhile buying used saves you a TON of cash.

I don't care to have the stuff in the premium package and while your option 1 has 7K more miles than your option 2, the milage difference doesn't mean much if you plan to keep the car for several years. Both appear to be good deals. Without checking, I think the premium pkg was about $1K. If so, you are talking about a $500 difference for a 7K difference in miles. You have to make that decision for yourself. |

I do plan on keeping the car for a long time. I'm selling my current car which I had for 9 years.

Replying to: backy (Jan 24, 2007 9:52 pm) The owner probably traded it in because he HAD to have XM AND search controls on the steering wheel.  Some dealers like ours will sometimes let you talk to the previous owner. I have allowed that to happen a few times with very positive results. |
