Has anyone seen or heard of any new consumer incentives / rebates for January 2008? The Hyundai website is blank. Thanks.

Check back on the HMA web site later today or tomorrow, the new incentives will be there. It just takes a little while to update the site.

The incentives for January are posted now at hyundaiusa.com. Looks like Hyundai has scaled back incentives on the '08s, with only the Sonata getting any kind of rebate in the few states I checked--and in those I looked at, the general rebate varied from $1000 to $1500 to $2000 (that last one on V6s only).

$15,900! That is a great price! If you don't mind, may I ask how much is the rebate? In mid-December, a Houston-based dealer quoted me "$17,809.00 plus TT&L and 0 percent for 72 month ($500 rebate included)" for the very same package. As much as I like Sonata, I will NOT pay $2,000 premium for that. How did you negotiate down the selling price? Thanks.

Rebate was 1500, 1000 and 500 owner loyalty. 1st place we went to would not go below invoice or MSRP dont remember, but we walked. Was funny at the 2nd dealer as they wanted to know where I got the 14,900 figure. They had a pc with internet so took them right to the forums. They did not know what to say for sec. Took a little while to get them to 15,900, but not to difficult. There are alot of dealers in Houston just go looking.

I believe $15.9K + TTL for 2008 GLS w/Popular Option Package is a very good price.
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.?

Check to see if the new car, 10yr/100K miles powertrain warranty is included since you would be the "second owner."
The '08's have been out since (around) June so you should be able to get a severely reduced price on an '07. We got an "new" '07 Sonata SE (6 cyl) for approx $5400 below MSRP ($4400 below invoice) last February.

I called Comumer Affairs today and gave them the VIN of one of the vehicles that had been advertised. They confirmed what the ad said, that the vehicle carried the manufacturer's warranty from the date the vehicle was placed in service (last August, when the vehicle was taken over by the dealer). It all sounded in order. I ended up purchasing a 4 cyl manual trans. light blue (I forgot to aske for the specific mileage and will do so tomorrow; all the vehicles advertised were with, for example, 5 miles, 15 miles, etc. new car mileage). Dealer has 100% consumer satisfactory rate out of 365 transactions and a satisfactory record with the BBB (one complaint recorded in the past 36 months and that had to do with the service department). Oh yes, Hyundai could tell me what the problem was with the vehicle (at least the one whose VIN I gave) had; why it was pulled from the assembly line. There had been some concern about painting of some electroplating --I asked what that was and they said the bumper-- and the bumper was repainted (or perhaps just inspected; I figure worst case scenario repainted). Consumer afairs said that when they do this it is a manufacturer perfect job. The dealer says that there is no overspray and anything that was done is absultely undiscerible; the car is for all practicle purpses new. I figure that if I have to repaint the bumper I will still end up getting a pretty good deal. I must travel to pick up the vehicle, but the total drive away cost to me (excluding tax and tags in my own state), including my travel expenses witll be around $14300. In life you put your money down and you take your chances. My local dealer is so sleazy that i am not sure my purchase is any more risky than if I had bought the car at home. The dealer I purchased from even said that he would not hold me to the deal if I got there and did not like the car for any reason; he would refund my deposit entirely and I would only be out a little airfare and hassle. So I did it! I hate shopping for cars and this is a wonder weight off of me! I sure hope it is good.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but if the car carried the new vehicle warranty since in service ie; the dealer you will be second owner. That's ok since you will still get the 5/60 bumper to bumper. I hope for your piece of mind that YOU do get the additional 10/100 without having to pay extra for it. If you have to pay stick with the 5/60 and bank the money they want in a money market. In 10 years you could pay for a trans or engine. 
Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the club.
