So I just bought my Sonata '09 GLS automatic for 14400 before tax and tags. Now I see in the paper a lower price, which I confirmed by calling them. The same dealer can now sell me on for 13593! Obviously I can't do anything about it and I'm shocked and pissed at the same time. I thought 14400 was a heck of a deal. I called my sales guy to complain and of course he wasn't interested in doing anything about it. After a ton of arguing about it he was willing to give me 3 free oil changes (onlyt because I haven't done the survey yet), he wants in return for me to give them full 10s on the phone survey. What do you guys think? It's only been 2-3 days since I bought it! |

According to the dealer's web site, the list price for this is $21,785. With the $2000 rebate, the $1500 loyalty rebate and dealer discounts, I've been given a price of $16,485. I think the price is pretty good, but I'm looking for a sanity-check here. Any feedback or opinions? -peabody304

Replying to: tchescat2000 (Apr 07, 2009 6:23 pm) That said, you have run into one of the few levers one has over the dealers, which is the phone survey. The fact that they mentioned it may mean their #'s may be bad for the quarter. To give them a good survey for $40 in oil changes would be silly. Call the store manager and if you don't get a $1000 check-ski then its all F-ski's. Nothing wrong here, they are just offering $40 and you want $1000. See if he calls back if he initially refuses or blast em in the survey. Promise them all your warranty work (if they do it there). They either go for it or they don't. Then live and learn. good luck --jjf So I just bought my Sonata '09 GLS automatic for 14400 before tax and tags. Now I see in the paper a lower price, which I confirmed by calling them.

Life is all about timing. Nobody forced you to buy, you did and that's that. Again, if the price went up a few days later, would you run back and offer them the difference? Of course you wouldn't. No one ever in their right mind would do that. And to give them a bad survey is ridiculous and nasty...shows no class at all. They gave you a good deal at the time...you thought so and bought. They owe you nothing and if they gave you good service during the negotiations and you were happy, that's all that matters. When the price of gas started going up late last year, did you run into the store and demand the price it was last week? Again, of course not. There's always that chance of a better deal, you gambled and lost. Grow up and take some personal responsibility here. You're a grown up for G-d's sake and in life, we have to live with our decisions. Quit whining and just move on and enjoy your new car! The Sandman

I am in Maryland. Recently I was looking at 09 new sonata GLS, auto, 4 cylinder, with popular equipment package. Email surrounding dealers and got quotes normally asking for about 18,500 OTD. Today I got an offer of 17,500 OTD. How do you guys think? Please tell me your thoughts. Thanks.
