So it looks to me like you got the car for well under invoice, depending on which rebates you qualified for. So, what's the problem?

Ｉ keep seeing people on this forum got 08 sonata at a much cheaper price sometime even the SE edition. so i am not sure if my deal is good. I just hope i got it for average price.
I bought the car less than 2 hour from the moment i saw the 09 model.

Apples to oranges. There's a $3000 rebate on the 2008s, plus dealers are routinely offering them at well below invoice (below rebates) to clear them out. The 2009 is a much improved car over the 2008, and discounts aren't as big on the 2009s right now.

Not much to be done, really. The Elantra was a nice car too, and I was looking at them fairly seriously.....with the rebate situation the OTD was only $500 more for the Sonata.
Unless you are a pro, at some point on some deal you are going to get screwed. And in reality, you didn't really get screwed. Try to buy any other car on the market with the equipment level of an Elantra, or any Hyundai for that matter. You'll never get a Cobalt to that level at any price, the Sentra i looked at was similar but was a $20K car, the Focus was $19K and not nearly as comfortable for me as the elantra, or for that matter the old Focus, a similar Corolla is going to run about $19K, so you paid more than you like, maybe more than you needed to but it's only money and letting it eat at you won't put a single dime back in your pocket. Enjoy the car!

I live in Michigan, but I traveled to the Chicagloand area to purchase my Sonata. I used Ettleson Hyundai in Countryside.

I bought the other white GLS I4 manual they had on their lot 5 weeks ago for $12,995 as per their ad. Great deal. Dealership was no BS also.

Sorry I wouldn't buy a stick of gum from Ettleson. He used to own a Chevy dealership (with a partner) that had a lot of controversial practices.
