2007 Limited w/ Ulitmate package by gkliborne

Hey guys and gals, I test drove a limited today and I really liked that car! After reading the posts here it seems I should be able to get it for 19.5k + the Ultimate option package, so I should ask for about $21,000, plus I keep the rebate. Does this amount seem right? I don't want to start off negotiations with an insane offer.

We bought in Feb, '07 from Towne Hyundai in Denville, NJ. We're in CT and it was a 100 mile drive.
 
At that time there was a general rebate of $1K, plus $1K for HMFC financing (5.9% for 60 months), plus we qualified for $500 owner loyalty rebate. Town Hyundai was selling Sonatas $1900 under invoice in Feb.
 
Our price was $16,651 plus $189 doc fee plus $200 for registration and title (including 20 day NJ temporary registration) plus 6% CT sales tax. Total OTD was $18,189.
 
We did not get an option package. The only option was floor mats which added 50-some odd $ to the base price of the car.

I don't understand the $200 on top of the $189 documentation fee. The temporary registration in NJ costs $5.00.
 
Bad enough that the doc fee is excessive but the $200 was pure dealer profit at your expense. You should not have paid this rip-off fee.

My friend who bought a new Azera from Towne in April and a used Sonata for his son in June, learned that they use a service for handling out of state (non-NJ) registration & title processing, that costs Towne some of that $200. We looked at their bottom line price.
 
Sligg, we've been through this before: would you rather pay $16,651 plus $189 doc fee or $17,500 plus $39 doc fee? Simple question. Simple "yes" or "no" answer.
 
I knew the title & reg fees were higher than the actual CT fees. However, I also knew Towne's price was over $2,500 less than the local dealer wanted (before adding his doc fee at $378 plus about $75 override on the title & reg).
 
Compared to Fitzmall's doc fee of only $99, Towne's price was still $800 better (plus they are only 100 miles away vs 400+/- miles to DC area).
 
Towne sold the car for $4400 under invoice (including the rebates), $5429 less than sticker on a $22,080 MSRP.
 
You're just too hung up on the amount of doc fee any dealers charges. We all know the doc fee is 100% to the dealer, but "so what" if the dealers has discounted the price enough?

Did you buy from Hyundai of Decatur? They are giving me the best deal by at least $500, but I don't want to drive 4 hours from atlanta just to be disappointed. Any info would be appreciated on that dealer.

I completed the deal last night for a Steel Gray 07 SE with sunroof. I couldn't get any Atlanta dealers to match Towne Hyundai's internet pricing. Hyundai of Decatur in Alabama's price for a Base SE was 17k, but was a 4 hour drive. When I was single, w/out a 6 month old, I would not hesitate to make that drive! The closest I could get was 17.5k in Atlanta at Jim Ellis. Their internet sales from day one was the best to work with in the area. However, they thought they had the car, but didn't. They had to dealer trade, but there's not a lot of stock around here. No dealer would release the cars for trades, especially b/c I was negotiating with them on those cars. So Jim Ellis sold me an SE with moonroof for:
17,942.50 selling price including dealer fees
1256 tax (7%)
42 tag/title/lemon
=19415
-1200 trade in
-400 college graduate just got my doctorate (pat myself on the back)
-500 finance thru HFMC at 7.69%
Total=17190
 
I was going to pay cash, but wanted to take advantage of the rebate/college rebate. The APR is not so good even though I have top FICO, but I can pay off after 90 days. As for the trade in of my 99 Taurus, Carmax offered less, so I just took their first offer. My wife is happy with the car, so I'm happy!

Oh, also, I decided against the extended warranty. I thought it was a zero deductible and agreed to 950 (first offer was 1595!), but found out it's a 100$ deductible. Ouch! I remember somewhere there's a forum about the warranty from Hyundai. Anyone know where I can get more info? Thanks!
