I don't have any problem with American free enterprise. I have a problem with deceptive advertising and selling practices. That is pretty easy to understand. When all the hidden costs and they won't let you figure it all out or the price quoted in the pare is always for enticing customers but there never is a car in sight like the one in the ad and he actual price with all costs is usually ten thousand more than what the price started out at in the paper, that is not good customer relations. Sorry that i expect better and more respect and don't insult my intelligence.

There is a way to avoid the hassle associated with negotiating. Go to a no-haggle dealership. Those I've visited in my area were pleasant to deal with, because you pay the same price anyone else would pay for the same car, at a given time. The only negotiating is over the trade-in, if you have one. (And I suppose you can negotiate over add-ons and extended warranty if you want to.) The downside is that you may not get the lowest possible price, compared to checking many dealerships and being a skilled negotiator.

If not "angry" you certainly have an "attitude" to this bystander!..... backy was quite diplomatic in his response to you; more than I would have been! The moderator has been too. Please take the hint....
 
PS Wonder if my MBA meets with your approval!...

the one in the ad and he actual price with all costs is usually ten thousand more than what the price started out at in the paper, that is not good customer relations.
 
All those sleazy tactics they pull are not the salesmen's fault. They're perpetuated by uneducated customers that fail to do the research.
 
That nonsense shouldn't even be discussed. Just dispense with it, it's a waste of time. It only causes stress and hard feelings.
 
Walk in knowing what you will pay for a given car with given options. That's what Edmunds is for.
 
Tell them you would like to drive a car home as soon as they can prep it. Let them know right up front that you know exactly what you want, and the price you are willing to pay. If they mention this deal or that deal, this add-on or that add-on, just smile and tell them that's not what you want. If they refuse, and you aren't willing to offer them $100-$200 more, then thank them and ask them to call you if they need a sale. That will usually fetch a "WAIT!!"

2007 Sonata GLS price paid by fourbirds

We bought a 2007 Sonata GLS automatic in Denver Monday at the following cost:
 
$19,180 sticker price
negotiated to:
$17,550 including destination/handling/plates/etc.
-$2000 cash back rebate
 
$15550 final price + tax
 
Paid in cash
The dealer showed us their invoice for the exact car, including hold back, destination, all the details. At first, he wouldn't go below the price minus holdback and destination (turned out to be $18,074), but brought it down a little to $17,550 eventually to the argument that the car has depreciated because it is effectively one year old. I believe the date of delivery on the invoice was April 2007.
 
We came in asking for a manual (for the price difference), but were told there were none left in the state and would have to order it from another dealer if we really wanted it. Apparently they didn't make too many like that.
 
Our saleswoman was new, very honest and nice. Car purchased from Shortline Hyundai in Aurora.

Do you remember if the invoice the dealer showed you included a specific "advertising" fee? That shows up sometimes on dealer invoices and adds seveal hundred dollars to the invoice price. It isn't included in invoices published by sources like Edmunds.com.

Something interesting... in CA, there's no loyalty rebate on the 2007 Sonata, but the general rebate on the 2008s is $1000 vs. $500 in other states. I didn't check all states to see if the rebates vary elsewhere.

Yea, seems like the loyalty rebate is only valid in the northeast, where I am located (as far as I can tell)
