I went there looking for a Elantra SE. They got me interested in Sonota because they could go lower on it. I told dealer 15k for the Elantra. They said they coudn't go down lower but would need to speak to owner to see if it is possible. They called tonight and countered down to 15.4K. I said 15K is what I want and told them that was my best price and offer is good until Wednesday. If they call tomorrow great, but I am working similar deal with other dealer and we are about the same price with them. Getting there....Why not offer 15k on Sonota, I guess I prefer the goodies of Elantra SE and holding out. After reading the thread on 2009 Sonata it sounds like it might be worth the extra money to get it but I then am getting out reason for buying an inexpensive work commuter vechice.

It would be true if at the end of the month, the dealer has a good chance to get some special incentive from the manufacturer if they sell just a few more cars. If they have already earned the maximum incentives or are so far away from the sales goal that a few more sales won't get them there, then there goes the reason for the dealer to offer an incredible deal at the end of the month. An expert car shopper told me once that the best time to buy a car is not the last day of the month, but maybe 3 days before the end of the month. His reasoning was that then there's less chance that the dealer will have already earned the incentives, or if they haven't they still have a few days to go, so they will still be pushing to make it. I don't know how that works in general practice, but it seems logical. |

Replying to: snakeweasel (Apr 29, 2008 3:45 pm) Obviously, looking at things as stated above, walking into the random dealership before closing last day of the month is unlikely to prove any benefit. The odds are 90% or more against getting a better deal than any other time. Actually its worse as most managers are tuned to these late comers and "demo" buyers who are likely to think what he throws out is a good price for the mere fact of their timing or the vehicle being a "demo". Good luck --jjf That only works if the salesman and/or dealer needs another sale or two to make quota or to get bonuses. If that one sale is driving off the lot when you are driving in you lose. Timing is everything. |

Now that Towne has apparently sold their 08's, the deal suddenly got sweeter on the 09's. Now $1800 under invoice before rebates! And that is the deal for the first two weeks of May. They were recently offering $1000 off sticker before rebates at the end of April if I recall. This is a big change.
