4cyl or 6cyl

Well I went to the dealership with all intentions of test driving and buying a 4 cyl limited. I made the mistake of driving a 6cyl limited. The 6cyl was much smoother and more powerful. The 4cyl was was ok but i noticed the engine was louder and seemed to strain a bit on acceleration. So now im very confused on which one to buy. I truly liked the 6cyl better but it gets worse gas mileage 19/29 compared to 22/32. It does not seem like alot but today it is for me. Needless to say the 6 cyl is about two thousand more.... The 6 cyl puts the price and gas mileage in a category that compares to other vehicles l like as well. But again the 6 cyl was very nice.
Any advice would be appreciated.

The Fusion I'm considering buying was all black inside. Leather on the Fusion was much better quality. Center console where you rest your arm was positioned much better. Seat was much more comfortable in the Fusion. Sonata's interior just seemed very cheap. I own a 2003 Sonata LX which has been a good car so I went in thinking the Sonata would win out hands down. The clunking noise from the rear suspension every time I went over a bump would drive me crazy. I guess it's different strokes for different folks. I don't know but unless you drive an SEL fully loaded and then drive the Sonata you can't know what I'm talking about. Anyway I still think Hyundai is a great maker of cars and they will always be a Manufacturer I will consider in future purchases.

If you really prefer the Azera (hoipefully it's a 2009, it has some tweaks including improved suspension), why not tell the Hyundai dealer that you can get the Fusion for $26,175, but if they can meet or beat that you'll get the Azera. You never know... $5k discounts are pretty common on Sonatas, so maybe they would do a little more off an Azera to move one here at the end of the month.

No it's a 2008. We never got down to numbers. They just stated that the rebate would be $3500 before we even work out a deal. Of course, the $26,715 was negotiated down to $24,447 and there was a $2500 rebate on the Fusion. So to get the Azera down to that ballpark would be quite a bit. I would have considered a Camry XLE V6 if I'm looking to spend what the Azera runs, but because I want to stay within a certain price I have to look at Ford and Hyundai Sonata. Plus I want the luxury items such as leather and Moon Roof. I'm spoiled since both my vehicles I currently own have leather. I don't know maybe they will call me and give me a number. The Sales Manager and the Salesman seemed desperate and disappointed when I told them the Sonata was out. I've been dealing with these people since July and they know me by first name as soon as they see me.

All Azera Limited have leather seats & moonroof.
Town Hyundai, in NJ, a bit far from you is offering '09's Azera at $3200 under invoice (including the $1000 rebate). Plus you'd qualify for the loyalty rebate of another $1,000.
So you could get an Azera Limited w/ Ultimate pkg and floor mats for $24,826 + TTL and doc fee. That's over $6400 below MSRP.
If you're interested in an Azera you could try using this info in negotiations with your local dealer.

The Ford Internet guy just sent me an email stating that if I went with Ford Credit I would get a $4000 rebate. Though the interest rate is stupid high at 9.95%, it still is about $20 per month lower than if I took the 0% for 36 months with no rebates. I'm putting down $10,000 and financing for 36. My new out the door is $22,547. I think that pretty much seals the deal for me.

If this seals it for you, you'd be better off taking their financing with a one year term or note to get their rebate then refinance with your local credit union for about 4.5% over 3 years.
Frankly, you'd be better off buying elsewhere (Hyundai has very aggressive prices and quality products with better mileage/warranties/features) and looking at total out the door price both with and without their financing. If all you want to do is look at monthly payments, you need to go there with an adult friend who can occaisionally let you sniff their large cup of coffee.
