Replying to: fullback100 (Jul 04, 2008 11:14 pm) What was the MSRP on the window sticker for the 09 Sonata you bought.It sounds like there must have been great Factory to Dealer incentives to get it for the price you did.

Replying to: m6user (Jul 05, 2008 7:08 pm)  , but dealers are free to set whatever asking prices they want on a car. You'd probably like this one (not): saw an ad for a 2009 GLS that at first glance looks to be about $1000 less than in ads from other dealers in town. Then I noticed some very small print down in the corner of the ad: "Price includes military rebate" [which is $1000]. Now that is sleazy, I think, since few people in my area will qualify for that rebate.

Replying to: backy (Jul 06, 2008 1:54 pm) My question: Should I fight them for $400 if they don't honor that rebate and make them pay that amount out of their pocket since we agreeded on the price of $15,100 on the contract? I don't know. They kept implying that the rebate is directly from Hyundai and they don't bear any consequence it bears with. But my support is that since dealers conduct business on behalf of Hyundai and we already signed the contract for $16,7000 OTD price, I think they should be liable what ever on the contract. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance. |

And I know there are many car salesmen and dealers pa(trolling) this site, and I say to you, if you're the 1.7% of the exception that isn't 'scum of the earth,' congratulations and kudos. I've had a very good interaction with a Hyundai dealership (recently), although I haven't made the decision to buy the car at excellent price quoted just yet. I've also had a great experience at a Honda dealership about 8 years ago, where I called about a sale price advertised on an Accord that seemed too good to be true, the salesman told me it was real and to just come in and there'd be no games, I did, and there weren't. Not a single one. He wrote the contract up at the advertised price, with a vehicle that had more equipment than advertised (because they didn't have any of the advertised cars left - so it was consumer friendly bait-and-switch), and the whole process took an hour, tops, and I still send business to him when people I know or know of are looking for any Honda. Very refreshing. Other than, that, it's been bad, bad, bad. Terrible. I'd rather have a root canal than deal with car salesmen. |

Replying to: fullback100 (Jul 06, 2008 8:13 pm) * Legal (I am NOT a lawyer; you might want to check with one): the contract is a contract of adhesion. That means the other party had total control over its terms. That means if the other party disputes the contract terms, they are normally decided in your favor since you did not have control over the terms. * Business ethics and fairness: the dealer could easily have checked (and SHOULD have checked) the rebate terms before agreeing to give you the discount. They didn't, but they did agree on a price with you. They should honor that price. Maybe it will be a good lesson for them and they will check the rebate terms in the future! * Exceptions: did you sign anything that says something to the effect of, "If there are any errors found in the contract after it's signed, both parties agree to correct them"? I recall the last time I bought a car, that was part of the paperwork. If you signed such a document, you may be out of luck on the legal angle but can still appeal to the dealership on the ethics/fairness issue. Maybe toss in comments like, "I'll be servicing this car and buying other cars in the future, and would like to be able to give you my business, but if you can't honor our agreement, I would not feel comfortable doing business with you in the future." |
