I've been in the market for this car for a couple of weeks, just the base model, no BT or Nav in Rochester NY. The one I'm interested in Has mats and Moon roof deflector. Because of the line of work I'm in (Advertising) my client that does dealer ads called a Hyundai Dealer and told them to treat me right. Out of the box they said they would give me their best deal and it's as follows: MSRP: $25,070 w/discount $23,200 w/rebate: $21,200 + tax and fees After reading some post it occurred to me that this isn't as much a deal as I thought, getting me to think that $20,500 would be a better number. While I have yet to talk to the original dealer I went to the competition and was quoted $21,000, with the possibility of shaving off a hundred or two if I committed then. He said there was no way he could get down to $20,500. I plan on going back to the original dealer to press a little harder. I think I'll give it a rest for a couple of weeks and go in between Christmas and the new year and see what kind of a end of the year deal i can strike. My question is how realistic is that $20,500 number? Thanks, Tom

Replying to: TomNY (Dec 08, 2008 12:37 pm) First of all, I got my I4 limited with nav last week and I love it. Wonderful car. A lot of people here are suggesting that you should be able to get $1,500 below invoice *without* rebates included. I wasn't able to do anything like that, but I still feel like I got a decent deal (vs anyone not reading these forums). Assuming you are talking about a 2009 I4 limited, i'm seeing a base invoice price (with destination and rebates) of $21,339.00. Only suggestion i can give is to shop around and keep calling back to see which ones will go lower than another. Sounds like time is on your side and it is key to not back down. |

Replying to: TomNY (Dec 08, 2008 12:37 pm) ps. They said they were giving you "out of the box" their "best deal" as their first offer, I kinda don't buy that. Of course their gonna say that but I bet they can do better, ESPECIALLY since the end of the year is coming.

Hi, this is my first post here. I just closed on a 2009 Sonata GLS 5 Speed Manual Transmission on 10 Dec 08, picking up this Saturday. I bought from Fred Beans in Doylestown, Pa and negotiated everything via email...I didn't go to the dealer until I had a deal in place. Here's the breakdown: MSRP = 19500 Internet price = 17998 2000 Incentive = 15998 + 960 Tax = 16958 + 194 Tag & Fees = 17152 - 915 (Fred Beans Rewards) = 16237 out the door I am getting 4.49% for 60 months via my credit union, though I'm only financing 10K. I would have haggled a lot harder but there were only 5 stick shift Sonatas available in the Northeast, mine came up from Virginia. I didn't have the luxury of knowing there were a lot of them out there. [edit] Based on that Fitzmall price, I overpaid by $300...BUT...by going to Fred Beans I was able to cash out on my rewards points (given when you use them for service work), which they doubled for December. So taking the $900 off for that, I did better than Fitzmall price by $600. I'm pretty happy with it. |

Replying to: nysniper28 (Dec 10, 2008 4:44 pm) Although I would like to buy locally to establish a relationship with a local dealer, I don't have a problem traveling, my wife is a little more reluctant. Is there any downside to this? |

| Anyone have any good deals they negotiated on a LTD 2009 V6 w/o nav in the NY area? THanks. | |

I just purchased a 2009 Sonata GLS I4 auto. Total price before TTL was $16,388 plus $399.75 dealer fees. This is in Lebanon, Tennessee. Couldn't get close to the Fitzmall price, but I'm content. I asked for a quote for the same car from a different dealership and was quoted $17,800 + TTL!! I was floored! The salesman was great and was zero pressure. Overall, I'm as happy as can be about the deal and experience. I just can't figure out how fitzmall can offer at such low rates? |

| Yesterday we purchased the 4cyl Sonata Limited from Johnson Hyundai in Cary NC. MSRP $25,335 (includes "sport visors", wind guard for sunroof, and mudguards, but no Navi or BT). Final cost was $20,784 (OTD is $21,980). Both the salesguy (Tony Curl) and sales manager were great... It looks like the "internet price" for this car in Greensboro (Bob Dunn) would have been quite a bit lower (maybe $1500??) but there were some concerns that there are hidden rebates built into this price. Johnson basically said they were as low as they could go (and that they were $1000 below thier cost). Any experience with Bob Dunn in Greensboro? Anybody with a better deal on a Limited? | |

Replying to: ellisda1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:07 am) In both cases BD's prices were handily better than any of the local dealers in the triangle area. We found the Internet manager at BD, Lee to be very straight forward no-nonsense sales person to deal with. If you know what you are looking for, and if they have it, BD will be probably your best bet for competitive pricing. BTW, we take our cars for service to Johnson Hyn for convenience. Enjoy the ride.
