Yes.. that is a little pricy.. and, I wouldn't have bought it.. But, given the historical depreciation rate of Hyundais, I'm sure he'd be more than just $1K-$2K upside down, if something happened to his car in the next couple of years...

The 2008 would be valued at least slightly more than the numbers shown for 2007s. |

Replying to: b612markt (Mar 19, 2008 3:28 pm) As an insurance agent, I was just suggesting that people check with their insurance company about the availability and cost of GAP insurance before purchasing it from the car dealer. (Honda leases "include" GAP automatically, but it is fractored into the cost. Honda doesn't give a choice.) My experience has shown that adding GAP insurance to one's insurance policy is almost always less expensive than purchasing it from the dealer. Plus, as the balance on one's loan decreases in relationship to actual cash value/replacement value, one may terminate GAP insurance if no longer needed. I didn't need it on the '05 Sonata as we had a large downpayment and paid $17,826 OTD (including 6% sales tax, etc). We have GAP insurance on our '07 Sonata (2/07 purchase date) which listed  $22,080 and which we got OTD for $18,189 since we only put down $2500. With a finance rate of 5.9% we may decide to drop the GAP insurance next year. If so, total GAP cost = $108 for two years. Good luck on maybe being able to re-do this, if the numbers work out. |

Replying to: anycall (Mar 19, 2008 6:21 pm) A more apples-to-apples comparison would be the Sentra to an Elantra GLS. Or the Sonata to the Altima 2.5S. What is the price of the Sonata before adding taxes, license, and any other fees (but including the destination charge)? And are their any package options on the Sonata? |
