$14k + T&L would be extraordinary for a Sonata with AT, even for Towne Hyundai. Invoice on the least expensive 2008 Sonata with AT is $18,758. $4000 off that is $14,758--which is really a great price for a car like that, IMO. Consider that kind of money could also buy something like a fairly basic Yaris or a base Fit with MT. You could probably get a MT Sonata for $14k + T&L, and in fact Fitzmall is advertising one of those right now for around $13.6k.

Probably because an SE with MT is not a very popular car. ATs are much more popular in this kind of car. But someone in Houston will get a really good deal!
 
The difference between the one SE in Houston and advertised Internet prices at dealers like Towne and Fitzmall is that there's many cars at those prices, vs. a "loss leader" to draw traffic, which the ad in Houston appears to be. Unless they offer nearly $6000 off list on all their other Sonatas?

Edmunds Invoice for base GLS was 18,083, thus why Howard thought it would be 14K +T and L. If Towne can do that, theyve got a deal tomorrow (and evidently I've got quite a deal as well). I was hung up on 0 percent interest, but if I'm going to be putting 10K down and get 5.2 % through our union, 0 percent interest really isn't that big of a deal. It's just a matter of asking for it and seeing if one of the two will give it to me.
 
Ill be calling tomorrow (says they arent open but youd think on President's Day weekend theyd be all systems go).
 
So far other places aren't calling me back when I asked for that, but I'll wait and see.
 
Thanks again.

Be sure to add the $675 destination charge to the invoice, which brings it to the $18,758 I noted before.

You must also include destination charge, as it is part of the invoice. Invoice on the GLS A/T including destination is $18,758..carpeted floor mats would add $68.
 
You'd be looking at $18,758 invoice less $2K dealer discount = $16,758. IF your sales tax is 7%, that would bring the price to $17,931 + 189 + 200 =$18,320. Deduct $2K rebate and you're OTD for $16,320 +/- a couple bucks.
 
Check Townhyundai.com and click on internet specials. The same formula applies to all trim levels and any options. If they don't have the exact car you want they will attempt a dealer swap to get you what you want.
 
I wish I could tell you the salesman's name, maybe you could ask for someone familiar with sales to people in CT when you call. They may very well be open tomorrow, they were open the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend last year.

If the buyer lives outside NJ, would they still have to pay the $200 or would they just pay for the license back home?

That $200 fee is a bit odd...probably because it's done by a third party. We were transferring plates from old car to the '07 Sonata last Feb and the fee was $200. In April a buddy of mine bought an Azera and had to get new plates since he was coming off a lease--same $200 fee. Two months later he bought a used (low miles, mint) '03 Sonata from them. We're in Trumbull, CT (dunbar should mention that to help get the same salesman) and combined we have referred 5 other people from CT to them & in each case the same $200 fee applied. (Temporary NJ plates good for a month were included.)
 
I don't know what the fee, if any, would be for a NJ resident. I think it could be lower.

Thinking of comparisons, Backy, what would you consider the better way to go including, price, reliability, just about anything else....between only the Hyundai Sonata and Elantra ? Why ? Which level, gls, se,limited, whatever? 4 or 6 ? Just trying to also plan for the next .......maybe 6 mos. Appreciate your input. oh, think automatic.
Thanks, Van

Just wanted you to know that when I mentioned the 18053 I wasn't trying to counter the 18,758 number you'd left, I trusted you . I did though wonder if I should be negotiating them down, and if trying to get 0 percent financing with the 16400 is just a pipe dream....
 
car buying is such a joy 16400 OTD, 18400 OTD......I've been looking at pluses and minuses of each for frigging 2 hours now...........If they'd come down just a little I'd be golden.

PS Is it just me, or is this overall a pretty darn good new car deal regardless of whether or not I can get them to come down a little more-even with how much Hyundai's depreciate?. I looked at the Honda Fit, but your looking at a Fit costing a 1000 more than this....???
