2002 Base Sonata, briliant silver, with a 5 speed trans. by zepper1

I was wondering what would be fair for this vehicle. My dealer located one so we sat down to try and do sone bussiness. KBB and Edmonds give 14599 as dealer invoice, which includes dest. chrg. I offered 15000 and was told that was below dealer cost. Anyone with a 5 speed base care to offer up what they paid?? Would love to know. Thanks

In Mass I had a iron clad deal for $14,6 for a base sonata with the v6/auto upgrade. I opted to get the gls/package 5 (sunroof) for $17k plus the 10yr/100k bump to bump. You should be able to get mid to high 13's.
Keep shopping. When I told them the names of the other dealerships I was going to, (and I told them where I was going and that I don't buy a car on the first walk through) they took off 3k from the sticker. Time is on your side right now. They want to clear as many as they can by the end of the year. Make them sweat!!
If you are in New England, Try Rt2 Hyundai in Leominster Ma.

I haven't started my negotiations, but I think that is a little high. I want the LX w/ABS-TC and moon roof and I was considering starting the offer at about 18,800, and let them take me no further than 19,100. Don't forget about dealer holdback. However, I heard the cars are heard to find and that my influence negotiations. Also, you may want to try a buying/leasing company who can have the car brought in from anywhere in the region and they usually have low prices. Just a thought!

I was just on Carsdirect.com. 2002 Sonatas are going for $300 over MSRP in Ohio!! Is anyone else seeing the same pricing in your areas?

Check out Tom Ahl Hyundai by sambojoho

For those in Ohio, try Tom Ahl in Lima. Got mine for $350 over invoice. I bought a black 02 LX with ABS/TCS, moonroof, mats, wind deflector, and mud guards.
 
I paid $19,395 (includes destination and advertising).
 
Of course I bought mine before the $1000 customer loyalty rebate (I wasn't a Hyundai owner anyway), so any Hyundai owners should be able to get one for $18,395.

Good Deals Hard to Find by blerner2

As much as I wanted a Sonata, I was unable to negotiate what I thought was a fair deal yesterday.
 
The dealer had only 1 GLS V6 on the lot (Sunroof, Mats, Guards, Deflector). I offered $16,900. Dealer wouldn't budge off of $18,100.
 
He also had an LX coming (Sunroof, Mats, Guards, Deflector). I offered $18,100. Dealer wouldn't budge off of $19,575.
 
All aforementioned numbers are before state tax, tag, title, doc fees, etc.
 
What was suprising was that he wouldn't even negotiate. He basically told me that as hot as these vehicles are someone will pay his price. Mind you, I was ready to buy and waved a blank check in front of his face. Nothing I tried would get him to move off his number. BTW, he wouldn't come off of sticker on a Santa Fe, and he had several on the lot with more to come before month end.
 
I got frustrated with him, took a walk and decided to buy a less expensive vehicle (Ford ZTS) which I ordered exactly as I wanted, in the color I wanted. Dealer showed me his invoice and gave me the holdback before I even got my offer out of my mouth (which was not as good as the deal he offered). On top of that Ford is offering $500 customer cash.
 
Would have loved a Hyundai, but unless you stumble on a dealer with some inventory to move, I'm afraid it appears that good deals may be hard to come by.
 
Good luck to all.

Sonata GLS in New Jersey by lmc18

Looking for a GLS in Jersey. Went to 1 dealer and got a song and dance about how they can't keep them on the lot and wouldn't budge off sticker which was $18K. I'm hearing about people on this site getting GLS's for under 17K. Anyone know a dealer in Jersey that is willing to negotiate? What about carsdirect? Anyone try there? I'm afraid they won't be able to find the car I want if they are really that popular.

Shortage by nato1

From what I understand, Hyundai underestimated the number of units that would sell. I talked to the dealership that I bought mine from, and they have 2 sonatas in stock. (in Mass) a base w/v6 and a loaded lx. I'd imagine they are selling at sticker. Lots of elantras and accents. They are hoping that more will be shipped in.

Base '02 Sonata w/automatic Transmission by mbojan

Hello My name is Marc.
 
I went to Fitzgerald Auto Mall in Gaithersburg, Md. I bought on November 21. Got a base '02 Sonata with moon roof, mud guards and floor mats. Paid $16,125 plus Tax, Title. This dealership has a no haggle price and at the time seemed to have several in stock. Originally test drove a blue one but found the slate Gray with the same exact options. Haggled though on the price for my old car and threatened to walk. They countered and offered close to Kelly blue book value. Also got Hyundai's loyalty rebate. I was also able to negotiate my interest rate. The car has been running absolutely perfect. However will have dealership check the trunk sensor, seems I have to be right on top of it (and I mean right next to the trunk)when using the keyless entry for it to open on the first try.
