Replying to: jackburton1 (Jan 14, 2009 7:22 pm) 22.50 title fee 36.00 registration 5.00 tire tax 15.45 electronic registration fee 5.00 lien fee 100.00 documentation fee 10.00 tag fee Grand total of $194 for all fees. And they charged sales tax BEFORE applying the rebates?? I think you got ripped there as well. My dealer took the rebate off the selling price and THEN charged tax. Here's how mine went: • MSRP = 19135 • Fred Beans Price = 17998 • Less 2000 deduct = 15998 • Plus 6% sales tax of 959.88 = 16957.88 By taking the rebate first, my tax bill was lowered by $120. The additional rebate I got from the dealer was $950, which was applied after tax. But that was a dealer incentive with special rules. My out the door price was $16200 after all taxes and fees. You paid an extra $245 in tax because they took the rebate AFTER you paid tax. I have to wonder if they pocketed this. |

Replying to: investingdad (Jan 15, 2009 6:03 am) BUT, I did negotiate the out of door price, so to me, I do not care where they allocated the fees. The BEST deal I could find out of 10 dealers I dealt with was 19,750 for the SAME car before Tax and fees. In NJ at least, they have to charge you tax on the rebates (I remember this from when I sold cars briefly about 12 years ago). I was strictly looking for the best deal out of pocket. That is the only thing that concerned me. If another dealer had fees that were 50% less, but the deal was 21k out the door, that's not better then 20k out the door on same vehicle. What car/options did you pay 16,200 out the door for? I pad 20k out the door on a 2009 SE V6.

Replying to: jackburton1 (Jan 15, 2009 6:16 am) You are correct that some states charge tax before rebates, and some (like MN) after rebates have been applied. The buyer has no control over that--except to pressure their legislators to change the state laws.

Replying to: cosmo15 (Jan 15, 2009 11:32 am) Nobody else would come close to their price. Very pleasant experience as well. Gave me the best price over the ninternet out the door. Then was able to get a few more hundred off in person last night and I just got home with my new SE V6

I've followed these threads on this board for a long time, and I've enjoyed reading about the great deals and buying experiences that many of you have discussed, and I congratulate each of you. I followed many of your leads in my quest for a possible Sonata purchase, and I discovered some really good discounts and reputable dealerships along the way; however, when I made contact with Lee Stephens of Bob Dunn Hyundai in Greensboro, NC (120 miles from my home in Wilson, NC), the game was over. I've made many new and used vehicle purchases over the years and have seen pretty much every scheme, trick, and inducement known to man. I will say unequivocally that never have I had anywhere near the pleasant and easy buying experience that I enjoyed in my dealings with Lee and Bob Dunn Hyundai! In addition, I was given the best deal on my new Sonata SE-4 cyl. that I had seen during my exhaustive research! Guess what---I haven't set foot on Bob Dunn's lot yet nor have I met Mr. Stephens face to face, and my new car is sitting outside in my driveway as I type! Every facet of the negotiations and final consummation of my deal was handled by email and telephone; I never communicated with anyone but Lee Stephens the entire time. My white pearl Sonata was delivered to my home last Saturday morning; I sent the check for the payment back with the driver, and that was it! In the five days that I have been in possession of this automobile, I have received calls from both Hyundai Corporate and Lee Stephens checking to make sure I was happy and satisfied with everything; my answer-YES, YES, YES! I have to pinch myself to make sure this deal went down for real the way I've described it---IT DID! If you're serious about a Hyundai automobile, and they are truly outstanding products, I highly recommend that you contact Lee Stephens ASAP! You'll be extremely glad you did; I promise!!

Replying to: mbiberman (Jan 15, 2009 10:38 am) Year Sonata Trim Full MSRP Internet Price 2009 GLS 5 SPEED MT $19,145 $15,889 2009 GLS 5 SPEED AT $20,345 $17,023 2009 GLS - V6 5 SPEED AT $22,895 $19,433 2009 SE 5 SPEED AT $22,495 $18,838 2009 SE - V6 5 SPEED AT $24,495 $20,708 2009 Limited 5 SPEED AT $24,995 $20,934 2009 Limited-V6 5 SPEED AT $26,995 $22,784 I was quoted 15998 by Fred Beans on the 5 Speed MT. That was the only price they gave me because that's what I wanted. Please note that these are "internet" prices. The price I got from Beans was also an internet price and expired on 31 Dec. It's possible the ones from Sussman expired end of December as well. I did not step inside the dealership until after I reached a deal with Beans. During this time, the internet prices reflected the $2000 customer cash, which meant you had to bring your own financing. There were NO owner loyalty rebates reflected in these prices. I know this because I asked. If I'd owned a Hyundai, they would have taken another $500 off...which was the loyalty rebate running in December. I assume since you know the Doylestown area you know where Sussman is. The rest of the discount that I got was from their Fred Beans AutoRewards program that accumulated from regular service visits for our Nissan vehicles. They doubled it in December which gave me just shy of another $1000 off, which was added to my downpayment. I only financed 10K, which I got through my company's credit union at 4.49%. Good Luck. And check out Fitzmall before you buy from Beans. I only used them because the doubled AutoRewards discount was too much to pass up. |
