$19,400 would be a REAL good price, approximately $2000 under invoice before the $1500 rebate. If you have trouble getting that kind of deal in Buffalo, it isn't too far a drive to Towne Hyundai NJ; they are offering $2101 under invoice before rebates on any 2009 Sonata.

Purchased 2009 Sonata by byefornoww

We purchased a 2009 Sonata GLS, slate blue, option group 3 (includes sunroof) in mid-May from Bob Dunn Hyundai in Greensboro, NC. In a nutshell, we paid $18,597 plus TTL. Following are details:
 
$19,500 - $1,500 rebate + $597.20 doc fee + $555 NC hwy tax + $138 lic & title = $19,290.20.
 
Also received a fair trade-in of $1000 (exactly what I expected) on an older car. Total amt financed was $18,290.20 at 5.89% -- payments of $339.05 per month for 63 months.
Really happy with experience and dealer. Made an internet inquiry on Friday night, ironed out entire deal (including trade) over the phone on Saturday, they had the exact car brought in from a dealer in Virginia on Monday, and we picked it up on Tuesday.
Oh, we are in Charlotte but drove 90 minutes to Greensboro because the local Charlotte dealers were a joke.

That absolutely insane doc fee hurts the deal. If it was a fair $50-75, I think I'd trust the dealer more. I think mine was about $65 and no other costs added to my car.

Hello,
We've been watching and waiting for prices to get to a point comfortable for us. After on again and off again haggling for last wo months, we're now going to buy. We have two offers on the table, and I'd greatly appreciate your opinions.
 
First--a 2008 (yes, an '08, Sonata Limited with four cylinder engine for after rebate price of $17,641 (OTD $19,639).
 
Second--a 2008 GLS 4 cylinder with popular package # 2 for price
of $14,800 (OTD at $16,426).
 
We'll likely take the Limited, but if any of you recall your haggling for the 2008's--any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you

I agree the doc fee is insane and I would've had a fit but my husband was dealing with that part of it. However, I ok'd the deal (and am still happy with it) because, including the ridiculous doc fee, we only paid $319 more than the Fitzmall price but didn't have to go to Maryland.
The dealer was very upfront about the price and emailed paperwork showing price, rebate, doc fee, ttl days before we picked up / actually purchased the car (that doc fee wasn't "sprung" on us at the last minute).
Oh, after re-reading my post, I forgot to specify that the car is an automatic and came with floor mats and cargo net. I think of those things as standard and forget that they're technically not.

Towne Hyundai's price would be about $900 cheaper and I believe their doc fees are a few hundred cheaper too. So you could have gotten it for prob about $1300-$1400 cheaper at Towne. However, you would not have developed a relationship with your nearby dealer and you would have had to travel to NJ and back. Travel costs being what they are and figuring that your time is money as well, you didn't do too bad.
 
Would have been nice if your dealer would have matched Towne price and then added their stupid doc fee. They still would have made a good profit.

Doc fees (sometimes called conveyance fees) vary greatly & that is why I prefer to see doc fees reported separatley in sales prices.
 
Some states cap doc fees, others require dealers to periodically file their doc fee (& must charge that amount, although each dealer can set his own fees) and, apparantly the fee is negotiable in some states.
 
When I bought 3 years ago, the local CT guy gave me the BS about being required to charge the doc fee by the State. I suggested he then lower the sales price...but he thought he had a fish on the line. I flew to FL to buy the same car and saved $1300 after travel expenses.
 
Since then, back in Feb., '07 I learned of Town Hyundai in NJ, just 100 miles from where I live, and from whom we bought a 2nd Sonata for our company. Since then I have been trying to spread the word on this forum about the great deals (with no BS) that Towne Hyundai offers. In fact, when I drove a friend to Towne to pick up his Azera in 4/07, salesman Joe mentioned that they had been getting a lot of activity from mentions on this forum. He looked at my friend quizically, who the pointed to me as the responsible party.

In Illinois, per state law, the max doc fee is now $150 after having been about half that amount for years. A dealer does not have to charge it at all or they can charge any amount up to $150. However, if the dealer charges one customer for it, he must charge every customer the same amount.
 
Guess what? The law says they can charge $150 and that's what they all charge. I have never seen nor heard of any dealer in Illinois that doesn't. I still like this system better than the "charge whatever they can get" system in some other states. That's one less thing to negotiate in Ill.

I agree, take the Limited, otherwise you'll kick yourself for giving up the goodies.
