#43 of 5483 Post 39, LX by ufgators Dec 06, 2001 (4:28 pm)
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?
#45 of 5483 Check out Tom Ahl Hyundai by sambojoho Dec 10, 2001 (8:32 am)
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.
#46 of 5483 Good Deals Hard to Find by blerner2 Dec 10, 2001 (6:34 pm)
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.

Does anyone know where you can find an LX w/ABS, TC & Moonroof in Los Angeles?
#48 of 5483 Sonata GLS in New Jersey by lmc18 Dec 13, 2001 (10:25 am)
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.
#49 of 5483 Shortage by nato1 Dec 13, 2001 (3:39 pm)
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.
#50 of 5483 Base '02 Sonata w/automatic Transmission by mbojan Dec 14, 2001 (2:32 pm)
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.
#51 of 5483 2002 Sonata GLS by hyunday_dude Dec 16, 2001 (7:46 pm)
Just bought a ruby red, 2002 GLS. Auto, V-6, ABS w/ Traction Control, mud flaps, cargo net, sunroof with wind deflector, premium sound, carpeted mats, 16in. 10 spoke alloys. $17,400, no trade. Is this a good deal?   I live in MA.
#52 of 5483 yup by nato1 Dec 17, 2001 (7:57 am)
Hi, I live in Mass also, and I bought my '02 sonata gls/package 5 (moonroof w/ deflector, mats, etc) from rt2 hyundai in leominster. http://www.rte2hyundai.com/  I paid $17k for it with the 10yr/100k Hyundai Advantage service contract/warranty (~$700). I also went to Nashua Hyundai and they said (at the time, Thanksgiving week) that they normally wouldn't give the same offer that Rt 2 did, but to take business away, they'd match it. So to keep things simple and local, I went back to Rt2 and signed. With the extras on the gls, you did very well especially with the scarcity of the sonatas that doesn't seem to be lightening up. Thanks Nate
