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.

Replying to: gofish (May 02, 2008 2:12 pm) There would have to be a manufacturer to dealer incentive in addition to the customer rebate. If no other dealers are offering a similar price, it's probably just a typical dealer's bait and switch newspaper ad that has a catch when you try to find one for that price.. That extra $1800 would make a difference to me whether I would seriously consider the Sonata vs some other cars. If I could get a new 2009 with the equipment and color I wanted for $1800 below invoice with no trade-in involvement and then also get the $1500 rebate, I'd probably buy it.

Two times I've purchased new cars since 2001; once I received 35% off sticker and another time almost 40%. These were GM models though and I had GM credit card rebates in addition to the highest manufacturer's incentives. Not that I expect to get that kind of deal, but the point is to maximize your knowledge to where you cannot make a bad decision. On an 04 Silhouette the sticker was $29435 - negotiated $26800 (included "fees" - probably could have been better) - rebates were $6000 - card rebates were $3100 - a $17700 price before TTT. There were reasons for this deal though (Oldsmobile!) and the 09 Sonata is a superior quality vehicle that will be an excellent buy at significantly less discount. I have been considering a purchase since Jul 07 when the deals were "too good to be true" on 07's. 08 deals have been even better. I suspect that once 08's are all but gone and 09's are in mass quantity with the US factory cranking them out in a continued "buyers" market, the 09 deals will build to a crescendo again. Remember they shut down the Alabama line for a week or two in October 07 because they oversupplied themslves. The 09 is a better car whereas the 08 was essentially the 07 with minor changes in trimline offerings. 5 speed auto with the improved I4 engine! Improved interior! The base price increase is justified given the new offerings IMO. I'm going to still sit out for a little while longer, but I'll be paying attention routinely right here at this forum!

Replying to: jaxs1 (May 03, 2008 9:23 am) That's the problem if you only buy local. There are lots of big markets in the country where the competition is so brutal that you just get better prices. And there are lots of markets where you can't even get close to those prices and you may live in one. If you value a local deal over saving some big bucks---more power to you. My relatives in Michigan sometimes come to Chicago to buy a new car because the deals are a lot better. Towne is a very, very big Hyundai dealer and I have read lots of testimonials on this forum and never a bad one. If someone is willing to spend a couple hundred dollars to save $500-1000(or more) and do a little road trip....it's money smart.

Replying to: jfritsch (May 03, 2008 9:44 am) Towne is offering $1800 below invoice plus the $1500 rebate so that would be over $4000 off MSRP on an 09 or close to $16000.
