Replying to: vballny23 (Dec 23, 2008 8:17 am) (We did pay $16,650 plus $189 doc fee + ttl and included floor mats, but that was a different time and a different trim level.) The present deal applies to any trim level with or without options. Their deals are available from the first to the last day of the month. Sometimes their website only shows the prices being in effect for the first two weeks of a month--it's just a matter of not updating the site often. New deals for a new month usually appear on the 3rd or 4th of the new month. |

Replying to: pat565 (Dec 26, 2008 4:36 pm)  . I have been dealing with the customer care manager directly. the sales staff weren't willing to go anywhere near my offer and it's been a couple of weeks of "back and forth" and a final "take it or leave it". i am planning on being there tomorrow to make the deal. if they try to reneg, then I will walk out. if you drop me a private email, i will let you know off-board how it progresses and the names of the people i've been talking to. i've been weighing the gls w/ pop package vs the se vs the honda accord lx-p. for the extra money, the only appealing features of the se are the wheels... not enough to pay the extra $$$$. in an even cost world, I would take the accord lx-p in a flash, but a $4000 difference (if hyundai honors their quote) pushes the scale way over to hyundai.

Hey everybody! Love this forum! Ok, I've been researching a 2009 Sonota limited V6 without the nav system. I found a dealership in Tuscaloosa, AL (only about 45 minutes from where I live in Birmingham) that has on its website the v6 limited without nav for a sell price of $22,993. They are stating MSRP at $26,435, List Price at $24,993, and using the $2,000 rebate to get to the sell price. How does this sound to everybody? Think I can go lower? You can view the ad at: http://www.carexpress.com/Scripts/Sticker.dll?homepage=[630]&action=[DISPLAY]&ne- wused=[]&CarExpressCookie_Ver4=[7516023]&ResultsID=[1726071672]&STOCKNUMBER=[54.- 1527.2845] or go to http://www.tuscaloosahyundai.com and search for the Sonotas. Thanks for your advice! |

Purchased 09 Sonata SE(4 cyl.) + premium package from Upstate Anderson's Superstore, SC yesterday (12/27). OTD 20,288 (after $1000 rebate + 0% APR) tax+tag $374 This may be not the best deal, but it's one I'm quite content with. The OTD may be ~$200 higher than the quote from Fairfax, VA. I highly recommend this dealership, professional and friendly. Any buyers in SC should consider this dealership. |

I have a 02 Sonata GLS V6. Brought it brand new. The engineering and the quality of that thing did it for me. I'm looking for a replacement and although tempted by the good looks and the inexpensivenss of the brand, I am very reluctant in purchasing another one. Two incidents prompt me to look for the replacement: 1. Was driving on the interstate one day and hit a ice storm. Pulled over on the shoulder and parked (mistake: parked on an uphill). After salt truck came by and sprayed the salt, attempts to get back on the road were almost futile. Sat spining the wheel for about 10 minutes before getting a bit of traction (while other cars front and behind pulled out and away they went). Realized that traction on this vehicle was poor. 2. About 2 weeks ago, the temperature was below 0 and the wind was strong, sometimes up to 40 mph. The wind was blowing from the west. While driving southward Interstate 43 on a high rise, going less than 50 mph in a 55 mph zone, a gust of wind blew the vehicle sideway. I attempted to correct the vehicle by turning the wheel the other way and that started the fishtailing sequence on the freeway. Luckily no cars were around as we (wife and 6 months old baby) and the car were sliding all over 3 lanes. After what seemed like forever, I finally lost control and the vehicle began sliding backward. In slow motion, I was watching in horror at the median as the car kept on sliding toward it with the side where the baby in the carseat was situated. I still remembered that in panic I stomped on brakes and the wheel screeched. Luckily the car came to a complete stopped with the front facing the median. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw 3 lanes full of cars approaching. The thought of 'OMG what if they couldn't stop' came to mind. Fortunately they must have seen me did the little dance and the whole traffic flow came to rest about 5 yards away. Regaining my composure, I backed the car up a bit and started to drive down the interstate again, this time really slow and aimed for the very next exit, which was about 100 yards away. Sure enough another gust of wind came and gave me the sensation that the vehicle was going sideway again but this time no fishtailing. I was so glad to get off that freeway and made it home safely that day (going westward against the wind the rest of the trip home). The car had 1 year old all season tires and I am not an inexperiencd driver. So what gives? I guess it must be the crosswind stability which my Sonata lacks and this is due to the suspension engineering. So poor suspension + poor traction = shaken confidence in the product. Not to mention that 1) Power radio's antena made clunking sounds and now wouldn't go down completey (dealer fixed it at 58K under warranty and sure enough it failed again after 60K which is beyond the bumper to bumper warranty) 2) paints peeled off the door handles (all four) and again at 40K which is barely beyond the 36K for paint warranty 3) brake components' tendency to rust and 4) the well-known hard shifting of the auto transmission when cold. I take good care of all of my cars because I tend to keep them for as long as I can but I'm surprised at the low quality of Hyundais. I guess you get what you pay for. It's time to part with my Sonata soon and too bad b/c it is the first Hyundai that I wanted to give the brand a try but it will be my last Hyundai. Good luck with your Sonata.
