Replying to: spiffy_dude (Aug 10, 2008 11:06 pm) If you get prices from a few dealers and feel happy with the price paid then you got a good deal. Availability of cars with the particular options wanted can have an affect on the price. In my case I was going to get a 4 cyl (to do my part on conservation) and wanted NAV. I had just utilized a portable GPS and thought it worked out great. The only drawback with the portable is removing and hiding it it at every stop. The dealer I dealt with was in Elmhurst IL (suburb of Chicago). I dreaded going in to complete the deal but was pleasantly surprised. The dealer didn't try to change the price, add a bunch of crap, or try to renegotiate the price. Except he did say he had to ask if I wanted an extended warranty and if not no problem. He stated he was required by the dealership to ask. There was absolutely no pressure and everyone treated me like a VIP. It was the best car buying experience I had in 40 years. BTW your deal looks pretty good as a 6 Cyl is a bit more than a 4 Cyl.

Replying to: kenlight1 (Aug 16, 2008 4:52 pm) No one is saying that you are a liar. We are mentioning that your experience is different from ours. Also, as I mentioned, when I got initial quote, they did mention Etching fee. But when you get down to business of negotiating, they will take it off. Did you even try to negotiate hard with them?   We are all here to share our experience and get the best deal possible, so don't take anything personally and keep working on getting the best deal. Good luck!   RJ

Replying to: kewlguy1 (Aug 16, 2008 4:18 pm) I simply said your experience was atypical compared to my experience, several friends and many others who have posted here. I and people I know have found Towne to be honest and straight forward.   If you got a better deal and were treated better elsewhere, good for you.

Replying to: backy (Aug 16, 2008 4:11 pm) There was a 0.25% sale tax increase recently in the metro area. The MN tax is 6.5%. So with the extra 0.25% increase, it should be currently 6.75%. And that is what the other dealers have been quoting me too (6.75%). They have not give me the reason for the discrepenacy.

Replying to: ahkhan99 (Aug 16, 2008 7:48 pm) You haven't told us what the discrepancy is yet. Maybe this explains it:   http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=6130155&version- =2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1 Replies to this message: ahkhan99 (Aug 17, 2008 1:39 pm) backy (Aug 17, 2008 1:53 pm)

Replying to: backy (Aug 17, 2008 8:53 am) This explains what I told you earlier...about the quarter percent increase in the sales tax..bringing it to 6.75% instead of 6.50%. They were doing somewhere in the 7%. There was a difference of about $150. This article explains perhaps $20 of it. Where is the rest $130? Replies to this message: backy (Aug 17, 2008 1:53 pm)

Replying to: ahkhan99 (Aug 17, 2008 1:39 pm) Maybe you could ask the finance manager at the dealership on Monday?   Some counties (e.g. Hennepin) and cities (e.g. Minneapolis, St. Paul) charge their own sales taxes in addition to the 6.75%. So any dealer in those areas would have a higher tax. But Inver Grove Hyundai shouldn't--unless it is really in St. Paul and not in Inver Grove Heights?

Replying to: ahkhan99 (Aug 16, 2008 4:04 pm) Hi there I was also thinking of buying an 09 sonata from either the IGH or rosedale people. They both have a slight difference in price, considering they are both from the same parent company. Also, I am looking for a 4 cyl limited model. rosedale quoted me $20700 before taxes and license fees. Is this a good price for the limited (without nav package) model? Kindly let me know if anyone has purchased from rosedale hyundai and if I must know anything about their 'sales tricks' or things like that. I am a first time car buyer and any help is much appreciated.   thanks Replies to this message: nhphd (Aug 18, 2008 7:43 am) ahkhan99 (Aug 18, 2008 8:05 am) munro585 (Aug 20, 2008 10:06 pm) i360 (Aug 21, 2008 11:01 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: munro585 (Aug 17, 2008 9:07 pm) 20500 excluding tax but including all the fees (other than license and registration) is a good price.

Replying to: munro585 (Aug 17, 2008 9:07 pm) Haha! You and me should go to the dealership together! Let them know that we will buy two cars so they can give us both a good deal! That would be sweet! Depending on how bad you need the car, you have room to bargain. My advice is don't fall for the 'price is good only for today' gimick. Personally I would try for a even $18K + TTL. Give it a shot and see. You will be surprise at what they will throw in to get you to sign on. Try Metro Hyundai. They seem to work with you more. I am in the process of locking in a firm OTD price within a day or so. Good luck.
