Went to Hyundai of Tempe, AZ to start and they would not negotiate below invoice, left and headed up to North Scottsdale Hyundai. Traded in a 04 XG350 that we had run up the miles to 60k on already and wanted a warranty since we still had a car payment, owed 11500 on it. Were given 8500 for it. A little below what I thought I should get but close enough. Got the 08 GLS auto with pop pack & matts, no sunroof. Got it for 15,900 and 72 mos  0% thats with rebates etc, and owing tax, title and license. Kept trying for 14,800 as people 6 mos ago were getting that but dealer would do no more. One issue though, wanted the Hyundai backed 10/100. Dealer did not bother to tell us that they dont offer the Hyundai warranty and sold us a 3rd party warranty not recognised by Hyundai. Figured it out the same night and got it cancelled. But was not happy about it. FYI not all dealers sell the hyundai backed warranty thats through JM&A. Hyundai USA does not support their own warranty anymore and are only going with a 3rd partyy JM&A. But is optional for dealers to carry it!!!!!

Replying to: rx2man (Dec 31, 2007 1:45 am) I am not one for third part warranties either, but it looks like this one could be OK. For more info - http://www.jmagroup.com/consumers/consumers.aspx# |

| I may not have made my post clear enough. The Hyundai warranty is now administered by JM&A. However not all dealers sell the warranty. My dealer tried to slide in a 3rd party warranty without me knowing, not the JM&A one. A month and a half later they still have not refunded to Hyundai financial. Horrible dealership experience!!!!! | |
Has anyone seen or heard of any new consumer incentives / rebates for January 2008? The Hyundai website is blank. Thanks.

Replying to: twl (Jan 05, 2008 11:34 am) My recent experience (Dec. 20 to Dec. 30, 2007) in South Carolina was a horror story, comparatively. After extensive negotiations for the same vehicle, my FINAL offer was $17,100 + TTL (including HMA consumer rebate of $1,000, CASH, no trade). It was rejected. Final offer by dealer was $17,582 + TTF (note the "F" in TTF). The "F" was another $388 in fees, on top of Tax, Title, and License, to bring the dealer's final offer to $17,970 + TTL (included Hyundai rebate). I walked out. Another dealer in South Carolina offered $19,444 (out-the-door, including rebate). I countered with $17,400, out-the-door, including rebate. Didn't even receive a reply from the dealer. Either they don't think I'm serious, or they prefer to wait for a sucker that will pay that price ($19,444 OTD). I'm beginning negotiations with a third dealer. As a starting point for negotiations, I'm going to use USAA Buying Service, which claims I can get the car for $500 below invoice, plus TTL. At $500 below Hyundai Invoice, that would be $17,850 + TTL (includes rebate). That's still a far cry from $15,900 + TTL. I believe there are regional price differences. However, should there be a $2,000 regional price difference? I don't think so! |

Dealer claims that Hyundai pulled from assembly line to check for problems and possibly repair. Once pulled, the car--a 2007 model--had to be titled to dealer and thus considered used, though it has no miles on it, even now. Dealer purchased back in August a couple of dozen of these cars (he claims) from manufacturer used and now offers at severely reduced price though for all practical purposes car is a new 2007 model. Has original warranty from the manufacturer--not a certified warranty-- from the day it was titled to dealer. All of this is in the advertising as well as verbal statement by dealer. Carfax is clean and dealer has a satisfactory BBB rating; actually seems to be a fairly prominent person in the region; this is an authroized Hyundai dealer not a used car dealer. Can't really find anything wrong. Does it sound very risky to save a couple of thousands of dollars or more on a 6 cyl.?
