15600 on a 20200 gls is still an excellent price. Regardless if you get another 400 off for the graduate marketing gimmick. This price is not available in many parts of the country. Most of the good deals are posted around NJ.
 
You can go to the dealer and hope you still can get a good 15600 deal on the car. They don't want another $1000 (it seems) and going to F.Lee Bailey and spending the next 2 years in court has a limited return.
 
I assume you have emailed 8 or so dealers for their best price and this is the best.
 
Go down there prepared to pay 400 more. Ask what the deal is with our contract? You qualify for the 400. If this specifies a VIN# ask what the deal is. If no Vin # then not as good.
 
Get them to write up the new contract. See smell, feel, the VIN and car you are going to get. Test drive the car. If it truly is only 400 more initial the signature area. Tell them you are signing for an adequate deal, but any dealer surveys you receive will reflect negatively on the dealership and if you don't get a survey you will request one. If the dealership is a member of the BBB (unlikely but check) it will reflect negatively there too. The most leverage you have is with the dealer surveys. Yes you can put down a $10000 retainer for F. Lee and make a federal case but that has limited return.
 
Personally I think you will be hit up for 1400 or worse more but if you can snag the car for the old deal +400 it do it. Obviously if things get to 1000 plus or worse just walk, its may be an average deal for your area. (you should know how good a deal this is, if so)
 
In this area (southern ohio) that car would be difficult to touch for under 17000 +ttl
 
Good luck

Tell them to get stuffed. You have ZERO obligation to re-sign anything.
  
In fact, tell them that you will contact an attorney, and pursue a consumer claims act violation (statutory, based on state law), if they contact you again.
  
IN FACT, tell them rather than call you, they must call your attorney. Under consumer act cases, if a business violates the law, they must pay your attorney fees.
  
There is no way they can get a 'do-over' on a done deal.

This seems like a lot of drama over a small amount if any. You're driving the car the car, the dealer is just asking for $400 back and most likely will just change some numbers on the contract and everybody will initial or generate a new contract with the same numbers minus the $400. However, I would, before agreeing to changing the contract, want a written explanation from Hyundai(not the dealership) that the $400 grad rebate does not apply to the 2009 Sonata. Like Backy said, it very well could just be matter of communication not keeping up with intent.
 
But if you don't want the car for $400 more, IMO you have every right to give them the car back and get any money you paid back since they want to redo the contract not you.

I was also intereested in Remote starter but the dealership told me to go to Circuit City or Best Buy. Those stores have 2007 models in their database so since my car was new 2009, I did not want them to touch it. Pricewise, you will be looking for somewhere around $300.

How did you manage to get 4k below invoice price?
Looks like there are two separate rebates getting applied. I see now Hyundai is giving 2k rebate as standard. Can you tell me about the second one?
 
I would appreciate any help on this.

I dont know if its true but I was told having a remote starter installed by anyone but the dealer will void your manuwarranty.

It is better to ask that from the dealer but for my case the dealer himself told me to go with CC or BB.

I disagree.
 
I've heard that rumor and thought it was proved wrong. However, to be sure, check with Hyundai. Don't ask the dealer who will likely farm out the job and then make a few more bucks on top of what the independent shop charges.

They can't just void a warranty, because you had an aftermarket part installed. They have to prove it caused the problem, first.
 
Adding a remote starter certainly won't void any powertrain warranty. If it was wired wrong, it could void some electrical warranties, though. But, then the installer should be covering those issue.

They cannot void the warranty part for something extra installed. Please see the following:
