Replying to: snoopy185 (Jul 02, 2008 11:57 am) My '05 was purchased in 4/05. The '06s came generally available in 6/05. So, in less than 3 years my '05 was 5 model years old. This is not typical of Hyundai. While they usually keep a model year for 12 months +/-, they wanted to get their new plant up & running for the '06's and were probably anxious to respond to consumer feed back when bringing out the '09s. I think they were trying to respond to the market. Heck, six months ago people on this forum were speculating that the Azera was dead because the '08s "hadn't hit the dealers yet." The '08 Azera became readily available in late January--about 5 months ago. |

Replying to: marks19 (Jul 01, 2008 5:38 pm) My point is the gap between Sonata & Accord,etc will again widen when the other 2009s come out. Unless there is a more serious economic downturn, I expect it will be a while before Hyundai goes to $3K rebate - near end of moder year? YMMV. |

I sold my 06 Accord SE for $15,800 in private market and bought 09 Sonata for $15,100 today. The Sonata is 09 4 cylinder GLS in pearl white without any optiions but floor mats. I paid $15,100 with $2,000 rebate and $400 graduation rebate included. I had to finance at least $5,000 through Hyundai to get that graduation rebate. The total OTD price was $16,703.26 in Orange county in California. What do you guys think of this deal? Oh, one gripe is they only filled my gas tank to 1/4! not even half! Isn't it against the policy or some kinda the law? I thought all dealerships are supposed to fill up the gas to full. So, add about $50 to my price  The car inself is so much better than my 06 Accord in every criteria exept depreciation rate. Sonata is quieter and faster. Actually, I would buy Sonata over Accord even if the price was the same. Honda, plz silence your Accord and don't cut corners too much! Accord looks nice at first but the longer I used, the more I can find their cost reduction in everywhere! BTW, how much is usually the price difference betwwen GLS and Limited for 4 cylinders? I shoulda looked at Limited trim levels, too. soo many options for a litte(?) more money..hmm..

Replying to: fullback100 (Jul 05, 2008 12:14 am) Yes, there is a law that states no car can be sold without a full tank of gas. Email Gov. Arnie immediately.  Enjoy the car. --jjf I sold my 06 Accord SE for $15,800 in private market and bought 09 Sonata for $15,100 today. The Sonata is 09 4 cylinder GLS in pearl white without any optiions but floor mats.

Replying to: fullback100 (Jul 05, 2008 2:21 am) BTW, that was an excellent price you got on the GLS auto. |

Replying to: fullback100 (Jul 05, 2008 2:21 am) On the gas... the surveys that Hyundai will send you about your buying experience are VERY important to the dealers and salespeople. So when you get your survey, you could call the sales rep and say, "I'd like to give you top marks on the survey, but it kind of bugs me that the tank was only 1/4 full when I bought the car." And see what they do.

Replying to: backy (Jul 05, 2008 7:06 am) Maybe, I shoud've opted for Limited b/c I am spending $2,000 anyway for aftermarket leather, tinted windows and 17" alloy wheels. Too late now.

Isn't it sickening that you see the same price for a car week after week in ads and then when the rebate increase $500, they keep running the same price. Instead of saying in their ad "We just reduced our price $500--new price is xxxxx". Just adds to the mistrust most consumers have for car dealers.
