Thanks for your help. I guess I needed to be more specific. The OTD 17680 blk 08 GLS AT V4 with popular package had only a mudguard that was different from the OTD 17000 wht 08 GLS AT V4 with popular package. The tax here in TN is 7% btw. The dealers here were saying that the difference between MSRP and invoice is only 700 since Hyundai sells alot to make profit. Also they kept mentioning that blk cars are more expensive which I have never heard before. They said this would be the best price ever. I don't know why the dealers here are so tough. I've been to four dealerships here and they are dealing at about the same price.
 
What price should I be looking at before TTL given a 08 GLS V4 w/ popular package? Should I have dealt with price and not OTD?
 
Thanks for your help guys.

You haven't heard it before because it isn't true. The only color Hyundai has charged more for on the Sonata is the powder white pearl. Maybe the salesperson should have said, "Black cars are more expensive at our dealership."
 
IMO you should not settle for more than invoice less any rebates you qualify for on a 2008 Sonata. You can get the invoice numbers here at edmunds.com. Since the 2008s are nearly a year old now (they came out last June I recall), I'd personally haggle for under invoice before rebates. I know dealers in my area and other areas are offering that kind of deal w/o negotiation on the 2008s.

I wish I knew exactly what package I had, they delivered the car without the window sticker which is apparently illegal, but unless I can figure out some benefit to me I don't think I'm going to dime them out. Not that I would know who to dime them out too...
 
I did a build your own on the Hyundai website. 08 GLS AT with the 4 and the pop package came out at $19,520 before frieght, that was to Ak and I would expect frieght to TN would be less--$3K rebate is $16, 520, add 7% sales tax and you're right at $17, 676. Sounds like they are pretty close. We don't have sales tax in AK except for a few municipalities and they usually cap it at $15, that saved me 1100 right there, plus my DMV fees are $275 all inclusive and they didn't charge me a documentation fee.
 
So, compared to my deal- $600 for the AT, $650 for the popular equipment package, $1156 for sales tax, I don't think you are going to do much better on the Sonata than what's offered. For reference, try this- http://www.hyundaiusa.com/ and use the build your own function.
Hope this helps a bit. If you can find a "strippo" like mine, which is not even close to being a strippo, maybe you can get a better OTD. FWIW, the 5 spd really makes the car fun to drive. Honda and toyota may offer 5 speeds but I have never seen a 5 spd on a mid size car here, the local dealer does not order them so equipped.

FYI "freight", or more accurately destination charge, is the same for all delivery points (in the continental U.S. at least). I've never heard of it being negotiable, so it should be added onto the price of the car--before tax. For the 2008 Sonata it's $675.

Sure enough, that;s what the destination charge was. I guess I always think of the gentle caressing we Alaskans get from the freight companies.

It doesn't seem fair though that someone down the road from the Alabama plant and someone in Alaska should pay the same "destination charge", does it?

What do you think of this price? by jlindh

I just got home from the local Hyundai dealer with a new 2008 SE 5sp manual on an overnight test. The car has carpeted floor mats but no other options. The MSRP including destination is $20,280. I've been offered the car for $15,000 plus tax, title, and license.
 
This seems to be an excellent deal to me. What do you experts think?

Assuming it's new (not a demo with some miles on it), I think it's a very good deal. And a very rare car! I wonder how many new 2008 SE I4s there are for sale in the entire U.S. right now?

$15,000 is a great price for an SE! Hurry up and get it if you haven't already. I paid $17,500 for the limited, so if you don't care about the extras, then you have yourself a terrific car.

That is a whole lot of car for $15K. Even if it's been a demo car, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. As long as you get the full warranty, does it matter that much who broke the car in? IIRC, the Se package is nicely equipped, even the base package is nicely equipped.
