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.

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.

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.

Replying to: cosmo15 (Jun 22, 2008 5:19 pm) Your figures are correct except you have to add the doc fee, which was $189 the last I knew. Also, if you want to add floor mats that would add $73. If you currently own a Hyundai, you would also get the $500 loyalty rebate.
