2007 Sonata SE V6 by slamtaz

Just bought 2007 Sonata SE V6 here in Nevada.
 
MSRP...... $22,095
Invoice... $20,951
Net price. $16,970
plus 7.75% NV tax
plus 399 doc fee
plus 28.25 title fee
 
Though it took us quite a while to close it at the dealership, i'm happy i've done my research (i.e. including here in edmunds) and got the car for about $4,000 below invoice!

Assume the 16,970 includes the 2,000 rebate.
 
BTW, the 399 doc fee is outragious...like your senior senator. Several states have legally set it at no more than $50.
 
Hey, enjoy your car.

Why would you accept a dealer rip-off of $399 for doc fees.
 
In New York State the doc fee is capped at $45.

yup, includes the rebate already and admittedly the doc fee is outragious but hey, i checked the other dealership here and even toyota & other's doc fee are the same too. i can live with that since i got the car for about the same price as the 4 cyl GLS w/ premium sports package.
 
i went for the more powerful v6 coz i can live w/o creature comforts like sunroof, power seats & fake wood trim.

Whether we like it or not, doc. fees are part of the price of a car and should be included when reporting "prices paid."
 
If one dealer will sell you a car for $16,700 plus $50 doc fee, your cost before TTL is $16,750. If another dealer will sell you the same make, model & equipped car for $16,200 plus a $400 doc fee, which one would you buy? Assuming you choose the second dealer, would you then complain about the doc fee being excessive, or would you recognise than you saved $150?
 
Dealers in CT have to register their doc fee with the state and must charge that fee on all cars. However, they can "bury" the doc fee by discounting the price of the car by an amount equal to or greater than the doc fee.
 
When I bought 2 years ago, the dealer I bought from had a doc fee $81 higher than the local dealer. My purchase price, including doc fee, was $1800 less. I didn't care how they allocated line item costs. I cared about the bottom line price I would pay.

Exactly my sentiments, and in the same manner, it is also my understanding that dealers here need to register the amount of their doc fee. So i guess they are bound to refund those who paid more if ever they registered a lower amount of doc fee with the state.
 
Besides, $4,000 under invoice for a 1st time car buyer like me, i'm content with the numbers i got and i'm looking forward to enjoying our new ride in the years to come.

Congrats on a sweet ride. I'm also looking down here in Atlanta. What dealership did you go to? Did they have a large inventory of 07's? Were you happy with them? I'm in the market for a GLS with Prem Sport Package. After buying my last car down here in 05 and having to grind for a somewhat decent deal, I'm not sure I'll get the GLS for what others are saying (16,500 OTD).

2007 Sonata Limited by xjlee20

Hello everyone,
For past few days, all I've been doing was reading all the discussions from edmunds forum about 07 sonata b/c my family is thinking of purchasing one as well. We are looking into the 07 sonata-limited edition with no other packages and we really like what we see so far. The only thing that is troubling us is that how much of a good pricing we can get at the dealership b/c I have heard that if you do not know much about the price of the vehicle when you enter the dealership, they will take advantage of you. I ask all the members here how much of a good deal that we can get with the 07 sonata v6 limited at Long Island, New York and recommandations of dealerships here. (I have a basic knowledge of there are 08 sonata models out there at the dealership and in 09', sonata is going to get a facelift. So I am assuming that 07 sonatas should get cheaper soon?) Thank you very much. If additional informations needed, please send me a message and I will get back to you with the best answer i can. Thanks once more!
 
Oh yea, I almost forgot, if we do decide to purchase another sonata soon, this is going to be our second (we had updated 3rd generation). I think b/c it is going to be our second hyundai, they will be willing to give us a better deal?

2007 GLS with Premium Options??? by mikezak

I know that the 2008 models offer the 4 Cyl with all Trim levels. For those members who have recently shopped for the Sonata, how many 07 GLS models have you seen with upgraded premium packages (so as to make it somewhat near an GLS).
 
My rationale is so that I can get the $2000 rebate.
 
Thanks

Ended up putting Jim Ellis against Rick Case in the end, Jim Ellis being the ultimate winner(northside Peachtree Ind.). Both only had 1 Platinum and Jim Ellis dealer had to go find it way in back for me, took abit. I was looking for specifically black leather which limited my options so i cant really say much about their inventory.
