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) Thanks for your input about your experiences. With the encouragement of this site and other stories like yours I did start emailing different dealers in Buffalo and Syracuse. I got a bid from one dealer for $20700 (plus $200 internet coupon) and one for $19965......now that's more what I was hoping for. I plan on putting of my actual buying off until between Christmas and New Years, but plan on letting my local dealers that if their numbers don't fall more in line, I'm hitting the thruway. They look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them these numbers.   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?

#5858 of 6604 2009 Sonata GLS auto by zornundo Dec 13, 2008 (9:47 pm)
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?
#5859 of 6604 Raleigh NC area - Sonata 4 cyl Limited - by ellisda1 Dec 14, 2008 (7:07 am)
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) A few dealerships I talked to tried to pull the "we're already below invoice, we can't go any lower" until you tell them that you don't consider rebates as part of the negotiations at all. At that point, they admit they can knock off a few more hundred to get to the real invoice or lower. Don't forget dealer hold-back which, for Hyundai, is 2% of the dealer invoice price. So, depending on how desperate they are, you can dip into their holdback before even talking rebates or any other incentives.

Replying to: ellisda1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:07 am) Congratulations on your new Sonata. We bought two Sonatas in the past few months from Bob Dunn in Greensboro (one Limited with Nav, and another GLS auto). 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.
#5862 of 6604 just purchased 2009 4cyl GLS by jpm1908 Dec 15, 2008 (9:44 pm)
At Hudson Hyundai in Jersey City. Ebony Black. The Hyundai Dealership had the cloth seats upgraded to Leather. $18,200 out the door. Hudson Hundai was very hassle free. This car was for my mother and the salesperson was extremely respectful to her. The owner of the dealership came out to chat. Overall a very positive experience. I only wish the car had a power drivers seat.   Jamie Replies to this message: newowner10 (Dec 16, 2008 1:38 pm)

Replying to: ellisda1 (Dec 14, 2008 7:07 am) I recently purcased a 2009 Sonata Limited from Bobb Dunn. I live in Rocky Mount and currently own 4- Hyundai cars. I wasn't sure about the pricing from my local dealer. The same old, check with sales manager, uncertain pricing, ect. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for all the games. Just give me the pricing without all the sales games. I don't have time for all that.  I decided to try Cars Direct on web for the heck of it. I recieved a call from Lee at Bob Dunn, immediatly had a price that was much better. He got right back with finance options, which were also better. It was the most pleasant car buying experience I've ever had. Everything was as they told me. No gimmics period.  Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Lee Bob Dunn . Thanks

Replying to: jpm1908 (Dec 15, 2008 9:44 pm) I have people say they had the seats changed how do they do that? Do they send your seats out to be covered or do they just order new seats. I would assume new seats from a dealer would be $500 to $1000 each. Then there is the rear seat it seems like you are talking some big bucks. Do they just order the leather cover and have someone install them?
