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

Replying to: wildcat007 (Feb 18, 2008 1:14 pm) No. there is no $4,000 rebate. What was said, I believe, was the buyer negotiated a price $2000 below Edmund's posted invoice price. Then after that, he additionally received the presently standard civilian $2,000 rebate. |

Replying to: bhmr59 (Feb 17, 2008 2:29 pm) ive given up on the 0 percent and rebate together...figured it was worth a try.... been offered 16,950 OTD for a base GLS from Towne. Now the fun stuff comes. I really hoped to get lower than that, around the 16400 mentioned earlier. It doesnt seem like much of a difference from your deal, but yours was an 07 (Id love the SE extra lumbar support is all  ) Anyone know what the cost of a sonata 08 truly is for the dealer?

Replying to: howard18 (Feb 18, 2008 7:50 pm) FitzMall is 16400 with taxes, BUT no licensing/title/registration yet. The DMV website says 80 for registration and 40 for title, couldnt find anything for registration. I figure that has to be low though, processing fee or something?(16650 OTD basically). Towne 16950. That was their first offer. Im going to ask for lower.

Replying to: dunbar1 (Feb 18, 2008 8:30 pm) You can get a better deal than that..... the local newspaper show $14,800 + TTL for GLS w/ Auto + Package 01 last week |
