Did you have to negotiate for that price or did they put it on the table right from the get go?

I just purchased a 2009 GLS, 4 cyl, for $17,550 out the door price. Took delivery on May 31st. Very happy with the service and professionalism from Town Hyundai denville NJ. Don't pay for the windows etching, it's optional.

It might be best to call the dealer about it for the specific kind of car you want. hyundaiusa.com is kind of confusing on the College Grad deal. It says that it's only good on 2007 and 2008 cars, and only until June 2. But it shows a picture of the 2009 Sonata on the page!

It's possible the program has been updated and the web site hasn't been updated yet. You could also call Hyundai Customer Service about it, but you might get a more direct answer from the finance person at the dealership.
 
P.S. for those who qualify, the Military discount is still in force and offers $1000 off Sonatas and Santa Fes, and $500 off other models.

The college grad rebate is probably still valid. I actually just bought an 09 Sonata using it...but it was before June 2nd. So I dont know if the expiration data actually applies...but model and year of car should not be a problem.
 
Its probably best to ask them if it still applies. I had some funny things happen with the college graduate rebate. The rebate is through Hyundai Motor Finance Company, but I paid for my car in cash, but they still gave it to me. I had 2 dealers tell me that they couldn't give me the rebate because I was paying cash, 1 dealer who told me at first it was no problem but then later went back on his word, and 1 dealer who told me that it was ok and he had it approved by a Hyundai representative. I ended up buying from that dealer because all the dealers had given me the same lowest price, except one dealership gave me an extra 400 off for the college grad rebate.

Thanks for posting this Backy. It's been $500 for military for so long I would not have checked it.

A 07 Sonata Gls msrp 20000 wholesales used for about 11500 if that. Even if Towne or any other dealer discounts a 08 by 5400 it isn't a great deal. 3000 off an 09 isn't a super great deal. It will probably wholesale for 14000 or less in 12 months, and many aren't discounting the 3000. The current run on 30 mpg vehicles and some favorable press have allowed many dealers to milk the Elantra and Sonata for more money, Towne not withstanding.
 
Its not the discounting that drives low resale values, its lack of demand. Perhaps a lot of volume is directed towards dealers with heavy populations of payment buyers. (who can be taken for more dough) This would keep prices for new ones high.
 
I don't know what the deal is with Towne offering an instant 4000-5000 off either. Its either an experiment, marketing plan or the dealership actually does killer volume. Wondering how one can sell under "cost" is not useful as "invoice" figures have been nominal numbers for over two decades.
 
Whether other dealers are complaining about Towne would depend on how it affects their sales. If their customers don't do much research or are heavy payment buyers and sales are up due to gas $$$ and favorable press they may not care.
 
Good cars, but without steep discounts or very favorable financing an Accord or Camry may be better. A Malibu possibly when production catches up. A 21000 08 mazda6 sells for the low 16000's or better and is a good car. Worth almost 14000 after 12 months too.
 
Good Luck

Rather than looking at "what is the wholesale price of a Sonata in 12 months?", which isn't pertinent to most people buying a car today, how about "what is the price of comparable alternatives?" In this case, it would be something like an Accord EX V6 or Camry LE V6 with VSC and moonroof. I doubt you can buy either of those cars today for close to $18,995 + T&L. The Accord's invoice is $24,153, and the Camry equipped like the Sonata invoices at $23,755. So you'll save thousands on the Sonata, which you can invest or pay off interest-bearing debt, and in a few years when you sell the Sonata that will more than make up for the depreciation difference.
