Thought it will help someone. Bought a Hyundai Soanata GLS in Southfield, MI. 17,908 OTD with a license transfer. Deal was made after dealer offered $500 gas certificate. So it is 17400 OTD. Terrible gas certificate deal though.   Have to mail gas receipts every month to get $25 gas card every month with lots of catches. Best part is sales guy tried to hide the details until the last minute.. Realized the working of the gas deal only when I got home.. I was expecting some kind of transparency from the guy.. My suggestion. Don't deal with amateur sales guys.. If you don't mind driving, I would suggest this link. No bargaining required. Also I would suggest, do a one-way fly and drive back the car. Still worth it. Also, these guys offer $500 gas certificate. Pl check all details bf4 you buy. http://www.fairfaxhyundai.com/ou/fairfax-hyundai/console.do?page=f_new

In Houston, the economy is strong, maybe car sales aren't as bad here as in other parts of the country. Then again, you'd expect Detroit-area to be a cheap car market, but 17,908 is $500 more than I would pay here.

fairfaxhyundai' price is really low. When I asked my local dealer about the price, he emailed me, "the VA dealer is including Owner Loyalty rebate of $500 (do you own a Hyundai?) and probably not including the freight charge that is listed on the window sticker and charged to every dealer, and then adding it back on when someone makes the purchase. We see it all the time." Is there any truth to that? Anyone bought from Fairfax before?

Replying to: colorstamps (Jul 17, 2008 6:42 pm) PRICE SHOPPING? IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION THAT SOME OF OUR COMPETION HAS BEEN TELLING CUSTOMERS THAT WE ADD EXTRA COSTS TO OUR INTERNET PRICES... THAT IS FALSE! WE HAVE INCLUDED: · FREIGHT · DESTINATION · DEALER PREPARATION · ONLY REBATES THAT APPLY TO EVERY WEBSITE VISITOR ADDITIONAL SAVINGS IF YOU ARE THE FOLLOWING: · RECENT COLLEGE GRAD · CURRENT ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY · CURRENT OWNER OF HYUNDAI VEHICLE That looks pretty clear-cut to me.

Replying to: backy (Jul 17, 2008 6:50 pm) The only thing not clear is whether they add a doc. fee (which is different from dealer prep.). Depending on various state laws, documentation fees can be significantly different. They may include, or may not have a doc. fee. Towne, last I knew, had a $189 doc. fee to be added to the quoted price.

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jul 17, 2008 7:37 pm) What will get added to the internet quotes are tax, tags, freight and our process fee which is $389.00. Which sort of brings the freight figure back into play it would seem. I'm waiting for the salesperson to clear this up.
