$16,000 OTD (including all taxes & fees) seems too good to be true.
  
To clarify: was this a new 2009 (not a demo)? And was it a straight deal with no trade-in allowance? Did your car include Opt. Pkg 2?
 
I assume it included $1500 loyalty and $750 HMFC rabate, which is sadly not available in April.
 
Thanks for any additional info you can provide.

This was a new 2009 straight deal, no trade in. (How would I know if it was a demo?) I asked if it was used for test drives a such and they said no.
No option packages. Just GLS with Automatic. No HMFC rabate. Just the $1500 and $2000 Rebates.

I am scheduled to pick up a Sonata tomorrow but I am having some doubts about my deal. Here is what I am getting (invoice prices):
 
STD Sonata GLS: 19,056$
Popular equipment package: 592$
Carpeted floor mats: 76$
Mudguards: 68$
Cargo net:41$
iPod cable: 24$
Cargo tray:76$
Advertising: 250$
Delivery charge: 695$
 
Total: 20,878
 
The dealer gave me the usual 3500$ rebates and a bit more, at 17,100$. I would like to check this price with you, here on the forum. I did not notice the advertising fee at first. When I got home I have seen it and I thought that I should have asked the dealer to take it off. I have not signed anything yet, so I still can ask to remove that tomorrow. What do you think?
 
In addition to taxes, I also have to pay 298$ documents fee and 86$ new plates fee. I am in MA.

It is a buyer's market with new cars filling up the lots at Port Baltimore among others. Depending on your local dealer's inventory there is a lot of room for neg( the bigger the dealer the better). You need to be firm and willing to walk away from the deal. If they know you are a serious well informed buyer they'll deal. The manufacturers rebates do not come out of their pockets. Check Fitz auto mall online for prices which are very good if your willing to travel for a $1000-1500 savings depending on deal your local dealer is offering. Even if you use this info with the dealer to let him know you can get a better deal elsewhere. I would at least insist on 17,100 OTD ( let the dealer cover the doc & plate fees)

Thanks for your reply.
 
Here is what I got:
Elantra GLS, automatic, slate blue, floor mats, mudguards, cargo net, and iPod cable. All in all, OTD, it was 17,700$. This included registration and all.
 
I probably could have done a bit better, but I don't really know. At the end, I am happy with the price anyway.

That is the title of my final review in the 09 Sonata review section. I urge anyone considering a new Sonata read that review first when it's posted before buying. It is a real disservice to write a review after a day/week/month of new car ownership and consider it a review. Who doesn't love a new car? Writing something like "I just got my car home tonight and I love it!!!" does not constitute a review.
 
The problems I have in a year of ownership are very disconcerting and have me very concerned about long-term reliability. I bought a new car specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with the kinds of problems I'm dealing with. If you don't want to wait for the review to go up, I have also detailed these problems in the transmission problems forum.
 
Buyer beware! There is a reason Hyundai is not ranked with the best of Japan. They've made great quality strides in the past 25 years, but they have a ways to go before they're on the level of a Honda or a Toyota. I'm going to take it on the chin trying to sell my one year old Sonata V6 Limited, I know that. That is the price I will pay for not buying an Accord EX-L V6 or a Camry SE V6, both cars I was considering, and both cars that have considerably better resale value than the Sonata.
