Replying to: bhmr59 (Feb 16, 2008 7:29 pm)  . 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....???

Replying to: dunbar1 (Feb 17, 2008 10:19 am) If you do your homework, do research, and first of all decide how much car you need, there is a chance you'll get a good deal. Maybe not the best deal but a deal that should prevent you from regretting the purchase. Back on topic, when I bought my 08 Sonata Limited V6, I had researched cars for months. We wanted to buy something in the larger midsize class. I test drove many cars, even some smaller SUV's. I wanted a V6, my wife wanted leather and heated seats. So basically the top trim level, whatever vehicle we decide on. I liked the new 08 Accord V6, and even though I got offers 300 below invoice it was still 26K for a V6 EX-L w/ no nav. Also considered Toyota RAV4, but Limited trim w/ leather pushed it to 28K (and that's at invoice price not MSRP). Liked the Aura too, but still around 25K (not much haggling with Saturn). I've always liked Sonatas, so I came back to checking out Hyundai again. Fitzmall had 08 Limited V6 w/ sunroof and mats and cargo net for $20,661.00 plus TTL. That's $5,219.00 off the MSRP of $25,880. I was sold. We intend to keep this car a long time. But even with the depriciation, what can you get for a little over $20K these days loaded in the midsize segment? I considered this a lot of car for the the money I paid for it. Towne Hyundai may have slighly lower prices but I was flying out from Ohio to Fitzmall and my ticket to D.C. was $68.00 as opposed to flying to Towne H. for around $300.00. Towne's proc. fee is higher too. And less distance driving home too. Anyway, I am happy with the deal I got. Could it have been even better? I'm sure it could. Like I said there is always someone who says he got a much better deal than you did. (However, I have doubts about certain claims I've heard that state that a brand new 08 Sonata Limited V6 could have been had for 18.5K out the door. And that supposedly was couple months ago, way before the 09s were announced to come out early). In my state (OH) that would mean that the before taxes selling price would have to be $17K. I highly doubt that could be done on a new car with an MSRP of 25-26K)

Travel, in our case, also favored Towne. They're 100 miles away from where we are in CT. Fitzmall is about 350 miles away. Fitz and Town both have good deals.

I have a question I hope you all can advise me on. I have two sonata's I can buy. My question is which one would you buy? I'm having a tough time deciding which is the best deal. The first one is a 2007 sonata se with 7400 miles on it with leather, auto, v6, 17" alloy wheels and other goodies. I can get it for $16,000.00 OTD. The second one is a brand new 2008 gls 4 cyl, auto pretty much stripped down or just the usual way they come. I can get it for $15,877.00 plus tax, Lic, DOC fees, etc. I probably would be up to about 17, 500.00 OTD on it. DOC fees here in Nashville, TN at these two dealers are $500. The two biggest worries I have is why did the guy get rid of the one with just 7400 miles on it? It came from the auction. It's like new. The second worry I have is the timing chain tensioner problem. Would I still have to have the tensioner changed on the new 2008 one? Or did they take care of that for 2008? And I assume I would on the 2007 one. It makes no noise now. Of course I would lose the 10/100k warranty on the 2007 one. The 2007 is a 6 and the 2008 is a 4 cyl. I don't think there's that much difference in the gas mileage. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. I would be happy with either a 4 or 6. I'm really concerned about why the person got rid of it no matter what a carfax says. Or it could be a repo. If so did he run the heck out of it to get even? I'm just leary of that one but it's a good deal I think. Thanks for your input!

for car only price (including carpets). After adding Freight, 3% VA Tax, Processing Fee, ETC, it's more than I expected though. Sangho

Somebody mentioned there is $4000 rebate for this car, but I only found $2000 rebate for customer and another $500 for military incentive. Any idea will be appreciated
