I didn't say I would only buy from the dealer closest to me. I only said that I wouldn't buy a Hyundai from a dealer in another state or across the country. If that NJ dealer is the only dealer in the entire US that says they will sell for that price ($1800 below invoice plus $1500 rebate), it probably means it isn't a real deal.
 
If one of the 15+ Hyundai dealers within a 3 hour drive will sell for the same price, then I may buy from one of them.
 
In my area the dealers still have more 2008s than 2009s. Maybe in 2 months, the 2008s will finally will be completely gone and their lots will be stocked full of 2009s. They could even raise the rebate on 2009s from $1500 to $2000 if they don't have to worry about moving remaining 2008s anymore. At that point better deals will be available and I may take another look if I haven't already decided on something else.

Like I said many have posted that they have bought via their internet sevice at Towne and there were no suprizes. I believe they are out of 2008s(or almost) which fits in with your theory.
 
I don't agree that you will always find the same deal close to home. I'm not suggesting you travel because I don't do it myself but I am sure that cars just sell for different prices in different regions of the country. For example, Toyota adds some kind of SE zone or regional charge on all cars sold in the SE US. It is several hundred dollars and I still have not figured out what that is all about.
 
Anyway, thats why my relatives come to Chicago....because they can't touch the prices in SW and W Michigan(about a radius of 3 hours). Maybe if they lived near Detroit they could.

I'm in California and it's a very competitive car market here and there are none of those extra fees like the SET regional fees from Toyota in the South East region, but I still don't see how the dealer could sell for $1800 below invoice unless they are getting a manufacturer's incentive. Those incentives would go to all dealers in that region, not just to Towne Hyundai.

Stateline Hyundai in Phillipsburg NJ is selling 09 Sonata's at $2000 below invoice plus the $1500 rebate. This is the lowest that I have seen anywhere. Their prices include destination and there is not a dealer prep fee. I just picked up a 2009 GLS for $15,900 in the Cocoa Metallic. I was waiting for the surprise fees but that didn't happen. Great people to deal with.

Sounds good. Was it an automatic and did you have a trade-in?
It's interesting that both dealers are in NJ. Maybe there is a regional dealer incentive.
 
I notice $1000 difference in different areas:

I did not have a trade in and the Sonata is an automatic jaxs1. I do know this. I was talking with the GM of Stateline and he used to run Towne. Also, his Internet manager is at Stateline as well. They are also opening another Hyundai Dealer in Hackettstown NJ in a few months which will be closer to my house. That will be good for me for servicing my Sonata. They were a little far but definitely worth the trip.

You don't have to understand it or like it.
 
Towne is a high volume (must get extra incentives) dealership, no BS. The price they quote is the sales price (they quote over the phone including $189 doc fee & TTL).
 
I know from personal experience and 7 other buying experiences from people I know or were tipped off (2) by a guy I tipped off. We bought an '07 Sonata SE-XM in 2/07 at $5429 under MSRP which was about $4400 under invoice, including $500 owner loyalty rebate
 
They're in NJ. We're in CT. We paid CT sales tax, so everything is legit. We're 100 miles away. Well worth the trip.
 
P.S. Towne also has the $500 owner loyaty discount now. So price is $1800 under invoice less $1500 general rebate and $500 rebate owner loyalty for those who qualify; any trim, any options.

I think they are high volume and maybe get some volume discounts from Hyundai.

Does anyone know what the SET fees that Toyota charges in the SE are and how they are justified???

Why do people post Elantra prices & buying experience on this Sonata thread?
