Hi Everyone! I am first time NEW  buyer, so I am unaware of all the holdback, delivery charges, advertisement fee etc. Is there any section at Edmunds.com or other website that explains what to look for? the world of used cars is so much easier. Now I have my eyes set on 2006 Sonata LX, package 3 (fully loaded). Even though I may not use all the features but I have always wanted a car with all teh features. I would like to know what all you guys have paid out of the dealership, with the breakdown. Any tips from the seasoned champs out here? Regards, Dave |

Advertising fees, don't even let them discuss it! It's a joke to make it part of any discussion re: a deal. The Honda and Toyota dealers never use this # as a bargaining fee. The TRUTH is that dealer gets $$$ from the Hyundai for advertising. Its boldface lying to tell a consumer it's part of the cost.

Holdback for Hyundai is also less than most other brands, let the dealership and salesman help you decide how much you're gonna pay. If you like the place and person you're planning to buy from, don't kill them as much, if you don't like them, beat the hell out of them on price. Keep in mind that the value you're getting in these cars is outstanding! Hope this helps any! Ben

But, I couldn't get a price from him even though I was ready to give him a deposit check. He wanted to work everything around a monthly payment. I told this nice guy what I was willing to pay (based on internet research, which he trashed). DON'T ever "let the dealership and salesmen help you decide how much you're gonna pay." If you think letting them help you determine your price makes any sence, let me sell you my 14 year old convertible for $15,000...it COULD be a collector item some day. I bought in FL and took delivery on April 13. Saved $1500+ on car purchase and spent just over $300 on trip to FL (stayed 3 nights with my parents = free lodging) including all transportation expenses, gas, tolls, & 1 over night on the road. 1365 road miles driving back. Yep, the local salesman was likeable. But I liked $1200+ in my pocket more than I liked him. And guess what? The local dealer will still provide any service I pay for or is a warrantee item. IMO, Ben from # 389 is way of base and offered textbook advice on how to get screwed.

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jul 05, 2005 7:50 pm) imo you should be able to pull off a better deal now since GM/Ford/Chrysler are all offering super savings with their employee pricing stuff, and im sure hyundai doesnt want to drop in market share. of course this applies to 2005 cars, 2006 cars dont have as many rebates or incentives to budge on price.

Replying to: tearsintherain (Jul 05, 2005 8:25 pm) The price included the $1750 rebate since I wasn't using their 1.9% financing (went with CapitalOne at 5.29%). Survived the finance room without biting on any of the high-profit insurance/warranty items. For example, "gap" insurance was offered at $595 when it can be gotten from independent sources, if desired, for $300. According to Consumer Reports, the wholesale price is $15,100 for this trim level, therefore the dealer made $500 profit.
