Hmm, I'll just mention this in regards to friendly dealers and loyalty. My household has purchased 2 cars from an extremely great dealer who always gives fair prices and the most customer friendly service out there(no bs, no upsell, no lies at all). However I found out a dealer nearby was willing to go $400+ less than my favorite guy. That was enough reason for me take that deal instead. I think as long as the dealer is within a reasonable distance, you should take the best deal and move on to figuring out where you want to do your service.

Thanks for all your responses. What's with dealers wanting your license for a test drive? I asked one dealership, don't you run my credit with a copy of my license. They assured me they wouldn't. And I found a dealership that still has a SE 08. With the numbers some of you have, I should say give me way below invoice or esle.

Other than the document prep fee, the price listed is what you pay before TTL.
They may be high volume enough to be in another holdback category than most dealerships. (Makes sense, since they are a multi-state network.)
 
Note that they offer three price levels-- and their Internet (barebones) price posted on-line may be lower than the "Internet" price on the sticker, depending on how long the car has been on the lot. I found them willing to go with the current 'Net price if you're savvy enough to know it-- and in my case I didn't even encounter a hard sell about extended warranty, gap insurance, or the other 'closer' routines.
 
I know what your husband means about "requirements creep", both professionally and because last month when I went into Fitzgerald looking for an '08 I4 I drove out in an '09 Limited V-6. Got an absolutely crazy deal on it, too -- $20282 before TTL ($21005 OTD. This was in early April, when the rebate was only $1000). Like you, I had another dealership say the price was too low to be true and would likely rise when I went to close the deal. Believe the car --which was the showroom model-- may have been mis-priced or a notional 'loss leader', since '09 Limited I4's out on the lot were going for the $20765 price you cited. Mine was barebones- but for that price I'll gladly buy my own floor mats and mud flaps.

Canadian 2008 Sonata Pricing with Rebates by lettterman

NOTE: Cdn prices and models The 2009's have not been released here yet.
 
After test driving a Mazda5 I took my wife to an Edmonton Hyundai dealership just to check out the 2008 Sonatas (which I had researched on-line) that have been advertised locally at $3650 below MSRP(base model). Sitting in and checking out the showroom GLS (same as US Limited) we were impressed with the luxurious interior feel compared to other cars we had checked out.
 
Getting a brochure from a salesman and us not having time for a test drive he informed me that the factory rebates on the premium package models were now $5250 below MSRP. That's a pretty nice starting point I am thinking.
 
I see some US posters on here buying the Limiteds for under US$18k.
In Canada the MSRP on these is Cdn$27,695 +$1415 deliv&dest.chg. After researching pricing to death it seems US dealer invoices are 7% below msrp with many of you knowledgable buyers getting well below invoice, before rebates.
Obviously there's a sizeable dealer incentive and holdback factor.
 
Much less info is available for Cdn prices and I'd like a good starting point if it comes to negotiating a price.
 
My estimated price on the 2008 GLS (loaded 4cyl, same as USLimited) after rebates, incl D+D is C$24,000.
Still seems pretty high compared to US pricing.
Does anybody know if the same invoice/msrp ratio (7%) applies in Canada?
How much lower can I expect to go??

Thanks for that Alamocity. Yes, but only Baytown Hyundai and they want $19,316. Do you know of one in the Houston area that is interested in selling a new Sonata as opposed to looking at the ones on their lot?

2009 Sonata Limited V6 by focus530

Purchased in New Hampshire:
 
Pearl White, 2009 Limited V6, $22700 including doc. fee. Buying process was easy. Only pain was to wait couple of days for the delivery as dealer did not have any Pearl White in stock.
 
The dealer; Nashua Hyundai was very nice and treated us very well. They gave us a loaner for two days while we waited for the car to arrive. There were better offers but not by much. We decided to go local as they treated us well.
 
The car is really nice. The interior is well designed and V6 is definitely worth it.
I am on my first tank of gas and on highway at 65mph, I see 31mpg.

Looking for a 2009 Sonata V6, sunroof, alloy wheels in Texas. What options did the $22700 you paid include? Were taxes included in this price? Is there one color that sells for less than other colors? thanks for any help.
