#4620 of 5169 Re: 08 GLS AT Help [jwarrio] by gnomad Apr 13, 2008 (4:39 pm)
Replying to: jwarrio (Apr 12, 2008 10:40 pm) 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.

Replying to: gnomad (Apr 13, 2008 4:39 pm) 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.

Replying to: backy (Apr 13, 2008 4:50 pm) 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. Replies to this message: backy (Apr 13, 2008 7:34 pm)

Replying to: gnomad (Apr 13, 2008 7:05 pm) 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?
#4624 of 5169 What do you think of this price? by jlindh Apr 15, 2008 (11:28 am)
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?

Replying to: jlindh (Apr 15, 2008 11:28 am) 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?
#4626 of 5169 Re: What do you think of this price? [jlindh] by marauder73 Apr 15, 2008 (5:34 pm)
Replying to: jlindh (Apr 15, 2008 11:28 am) $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.
#4627 of 5169 Re: What do you think of this price? [jlindh] by gnomad Apr 15, 2008 (8:07 pm)
Replying to: jlindh (Apr 15, 2008 11:28 am) 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.
#4628 of 5169 Another thought by gnomad Apr 15, 2008 (8:13 pm)
Since you have it overnight, try to find a gravel area or some other place to test the ESC. I tested mine in snow and was absolutely astounded at the difference it makes. I tried to get the Sonata sideways in a parking lot, wouldn't do it, turned off the ESC and it acted like most every other FWD car does in the slick. It's a bit choppy when it kicks in off the line, pulling away from a stoplight and the car kind of goes chop chop chop. Anyway, this is the first car I've had with full ESC and it's an eye opener.
#4629 of 5169 A Good Deal? by findedeux Apr 15, 2008 (8:20 pm)
I am in FL, looking at a 08 Sonata GLS (Grey Steel) with popular equipment package. The price with the package is 16,325 (not including tax, title, or dealer fee). This seems like a good deal as, even including rebate (of $ 3,000) it is below invoice. I also really want leather in the car and the dealer has offered to install it for $900. I have called up several dealers and the lowest they would go was $1000 with most of them saying it would actually be $1200. So how does $17,225 sound for a Sonata GLS with popular package and leather? Technically, it might be a little cheaper ($100 or so) as the quote was originally for a pearl white car and I decided I wanted the grey (though I really only like the silver   So, 1) good deal, and 2) good color?   Thanks
