| Today I bought a Bright Silver/Gray '09 GLS stick for $14,995 including doc fee plus tax and title at Rowe Hyundai in Westbrook, ME. I probably could have done better out of state but I wanted to deal locally. They threw in free car washes for life and the "Warranty Forever" lifetime powertrain warranty administered by NWAN. | |

As my title says, bought an 09 Limited V6 with the navigation system option about three weeks ago. Unfortunately the only colors they had on the lot with the navigation system were black and white. I refuse to own another black car, as the upkeep is just too much for me, so I had to take the white. White would definitely not have been my first choice, I would much rather have had a silver or a gray. It was frustrating, as my Salesman told me they just sold a silver V6 Limited with nav only a couple of days previous. Arrggg!!! To add insult to injury the white is a $200 option? What the heck is that, $200 to paint a car white. Sounds like a scam, but I needed the car badly (my 12 year old clunker was on it's last legs) and therefore white it was. The MSRP on the car was $27,800. They sold me the car at invoice and then took off the $1,000 rebate from Hyundai on top of that (I know the rebate has now gone to $1,500). I got $500 for my trade in, a 1986 Dodge Neon sedan. Once T/T/L was added in the price was $26,350 out the door. That is also with no money out of pocket. I got financing through Hyundai at 2.9% for 60 months. My monthly payment is $472. Not bad I think. I paid cash for additional accessories; mud guards, cargo net, trunk tray, sunshield deflector, and a very nice window tint. The white looks a little better with the dark tinted windows, as normally I'm not too keen on the color white for a car. So far I'm really loving my new car. It was a huge step up in quality, comfort, safety, and luxury from my Neon. I deserve it, I work too hard to be driving around a junker like the Neon. I just didn't want a car payment again so I held off for a long time buying a new car. I'm happy I waited, as I would have missed out on buying my 09 Sonata. In my opinion this new Sonata is better than every car in the midsize sedan class for under $30K. I think the 09 refresh is going to be a big hit for Hyundai, the car is sensational. Makes rush hour driving to and from work a calming experience rather than a stressful one like it was in my old Neon 5-speed manual. The car is so quiet, and with the awesome stereo it's like being in your own private little space, with the outside world completely shut-out. I plan on driving it until it dies, which with proper maintenance is hopefully a very long time. |

One good thing - You purchased an '09, so maybe there's hope that they fixed the terrible suspension noise in the previous generation (that was present in every single one I drove or drove in). Right now, I can get a new '09 4dr Sdn I4 Auto GLS for $15,778 plus TTL. Here's the exact equipment list they faxed to me, practically begging me to come and buy it for the last two weeks: FACTORY INSTALLED OPTIONS (01 ) STANDARD EQUIPMENT GROUP INCLUDES: - base vehicle only (-PT ) STANDARD PAINT (STD) (CF ) CARPETED FLOOR MATS (PIO) STANDARD EQUIPMENT EXTERIOR -Body-color bumpers 1176 -Body-color body-side moldings 1176 -Body-color heated pwr mirrors 1176 -Tinted glass 1176 -Speed-sensitive variable intermittent windshield wipers 1176 -Body-color door handles 1176 INTERIOR -Cloth seating surfaces 1220 -Front bucket seats w/active head restraints 1220 -Rear 60/40 split-fold seats w/outboard headrests 1220 -Dual tier console w/fixed armrest, storage, (2) cupholders 1220 -Reat center armrest w/(2) cupholders 1220 -Center console mounted 12-volt pwr outlet 1220 -Full floor carpeting 1220 -Door sill scuff plates 1220 -Tilt steering wheel 1220 -Instrumentation-inc: tachometer, coolant temp, trip odometer, digital clock 1220 -Warnings-inc: oil pressure, battery, door ajar, trunk open, brake, check engine 1220 -Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) 1220 -Pwr windows w/driver auto up/down, pinch protection, lockout 1220 -Pwr door locks 1220 -Remote keyless entry system w/alarm 1220 -Remote fuel/hood release 1220 -Cruise control 1220 -AM/FM/XM stereo w/CD/MP3 player-inc: (6) speakers, i-Pod/USB/aux inputs, (6) speakers 1220 -In-glass antenna 1220 -Air conditioning w/cabin air filter 1220 -Rear window defroster 1220 -Locking glovebox 1220 -Cloth door trim 1220 -Map pockets 1220 -Assist grips 1220 -Lighting-inc: dome, ignition, glovebox, map 1220 -Seatback pockets 1220 -Rear coat hanger 1220 MECHANICAL -2.4L DOHC 16-valve I4 engine 1236 -Continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) 1236 -5-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission w/OD 1236 -Shift interlock system 1236 -Traction control system (TCS) w/electronic stability control (ESC) 1236 -Front wheel drive 1236 -Independent double-wishbone front suspension w/gas shocks 1236 -Independent multi-link rear suspension w/gas shocks 1236 -Front/rear stabilizer bars 1236 -P215/60R16 all-season tires 1236 -16" steel wheels w/covers 1236 -Compact spare tire 1236 -Engine-speed-sensing pwr steering 1236 -4-wheel disc brakes 1236 -4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS) w/electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), brake assist 1236 NOTE -**PRELIMINARY STANDARD EQUIPMENT** 1246 SAFETY -4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS) w/electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), brake assist 1343 -Driver/front passenger advanced airbags 1343 -Driver/front passenger seat-mounted side-impact airbags 1343 -Front/rear side-curtain airbags 1343 -3-point seatbelts for all seating positions 1343 -Front seat belt pretensioners & force limiters 1343 -Childproof rear door locks 1343 -Emergency internal trunk release 1343 -Lower anchors & upper tether anchors (LATCH) 1343 -Energy-absorbing steering column 1343 -Traction control system (TCS) w/electronic stability control (ESC) 1343 -Shift interlock system 1343 -Front/rear crumple zones 1343 -Body-side reinforcements 1343 -Hood buckling creases & safety stops 1343 |

Replying to: dgs4 (May 25, 2008 8:42 pm) The reason the pearl white paint is extra cost is because the paint process used for that special color is more involved/expensive. You've probably noticed it's not just plain white, but has a lot of depth to it. I think it's a very sharp color, and I think you'll grow to like it over time. It's a very easy color to maintain also--it won't show dust easily, like darker colors will. Quite a step up from an old Neon, eh? Enjoy!! |

Replying to: rotary (May 25, 2008 9:34 pm) An 07 sonata msrp 20300 wholesales now for about 12500. A 15000 or less deal is about what you want. 15700 is exceptional on an 09, you would want to pay around 16500 or so. I suspect. you are near the NY area. They are hardly giving them away though. They are making plenty on these vehicles. A auto factory worker with overtime makes 12000 bucks/yr or less in South Korea. In the US its closer to $100000. The last one to leave a GM,Ford or Daimler plant in the US or Canada remember to turn out the lights --jjf |
