"I'm thinking today i might have paid about 800 too much."
 
Pretty close, but you got a great car and will enjoy it regardless. I'm about three hours south of you in McKinney, TX. I own a Santa Fe and helped my sister purchase a Sonata last weekend at Huffines. They would have done a base (no package) for $16,800 plus TTL vs. the $17,375 you paid. She went for the preferred package for $17,400 plus TTL and they threw in the window tint. Trade was a 2001 Protege with 118K, cracked w/s and needed a lot of work. We were lucky to get two grand out of it in the shape it was in, which is too bad because if the car was in better condition it would have been gold in the market these days with everyone looking for a good fuel economy car.

thanks for the info, i think i should have gotten another 600 for my cruiser. it was clean except for the window shield being cracked and a few chip spots on the hood that were very small. i drive about eighty miles to work and back and am looking forward to getting better gas mileage than the 23 i got on the cruiser. if i get the 32 that is posted then i should save around 78 dollars a month in fuel costs.

Had a very good sales experience Stateline Hyundai in Phillipsburg, NJ.
Prices:
MSRP: $27,735 Invoice: $25,921 + $150 ad fee
Agreed price: $22,355
Doc fees: 199
Taxes, tags, title: 1,676
 
Basically the current deal for 2009 Sonata of any flavor is:
Invoice-$1,900 discount-$1,500 rebate=agreed price
 
Very low pressure experience. Very nice sales folks. Highly recommend.

That is a real good price...except for the bogus $150 adv fee.

If they took the "ad fee" off and just increased the sale price $150 it would still be a very good deal. Bottom line is what is important.

Looking for a good deal in central NJ by njalan

I am new to this forum and have never sat in or test-drove a Hyundai in my life. Bacause the rising car and gas price I am stepping down to a smaller engine size and less expensive car. I think either the 2008 or 2009 Sonata Limited with L4 engine would suit my needs. Having navigation and moon roof is not important, but having adequate legroom in the back, safe, reliable and sturdy, good quality and fuel economy, and at a reasonable price are my concerns. I used the Costco car buying service and received a couple of calls from two dealerships. They all invited me to take a test drive first. When I said I am too far away(one is in Toms River and the other on Rt 22) and would like to know the price first (just standard equipment with no options for the time being) they all declined to give me any quote. They said the company policy would not allow them to give price quote over the phone.
 
I read on this forum that the Stateline Hyundai dealership in Phillipsburg NJ offered $1900 below invoice with a $100 gas card for any favor. This plus a $1500 rebate for the 2009 cars sounds very attractive to me. For the 2008 leftovers the deal could be even sweeter: $2300 below invoice plus $3000 rebate and $100 gas card. My question to all of you is: would you please help me in locating a dealership in my area (central NJ) that would offer similar deals, because Phillipsburg is too far away (2 hours driving one way?) even though it is in NJ. Anybody bought a new car recently in central NJ?
 
I can buy the car at the end of the month, next month, or later because I just returned a leased car earlier this month. I have 3 other cars now and I am not in a great hurry to buy one either. Would like to know when is the better time to get a good deal. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi fscot, do you mean you paid $24230 out the door for a 2009 Limited V6 with navi with MSRP $27735? Do they offer free oil change for life too? Thanks.

Unless you want a 2008 Sonata, of which quantities are limited, you might want to wait for the end of the year. There are usually year-end closeout deals at that time. Also, historically speaking the $1500 rebate on the 2009 Sonata is quite low. $2000-3000 rebates have been common on the Sonata over the past few years. It's likely IMO that the rebate will increase later in 2008.
 
Also, when you look at the Sonata, I recommend you also look at the Elantra. It has a lot of interior room for its size (classified as a mid-sized car based on interior room) and may have enough for you. And it is lower priced than the Sonata, especially compared to the 2009 Sonata, and gets better fuel economy.

Thanks Backy, I just compared the Sonata and the Elantra and found out the Elantra is 3" narrower in width and 2.4" shorter in rear legroom. That alone would not bother me a lot. My problem is with my wife. She might not even want to take a look at the Sonata, let alone the Elantra. The next car is mostly for her because I just returned her 2004 Mercedes E320 4matic to the dealership. She wanted an S class, but would settle for another E class or Acura RL. I personally don't like Mercedes, especially the navigation (it was outdated before it came out). She said I would be pleased with the new navi on the S class but I refused to go for a gas drinking car just for the name and the navi.
 
I hope she would calm down and go with me to test drive a Sonata (the Azera is a V6 car and not considered). Right now I need help to get a dealership in the central Jersey area with good deal. Waiting until the later part of 2008 to get a better deal is certainly a good idea. Thanks again.

Yes, if you regularly carry more than 2 adults over 6 feet tall in the back, the Elantra may be a little small for you. Make sure when you test drive the Sonata, you drive one that has the interior upgrade package (all but the base GLS have this). It looks a bit nicer. Of course she may like the Limited with its leather interior if she is used to leather in the E320.
 
P.S. The Elantra has almost exactly the same interior volume and trunk space as the 2004 E320.
