Replying to: mikenj (May 21, 2009 4:01 am) A used 08 elantra auto gls (msrp 17600) barely has a wholesale trade in value of 10000 with avg miles. This is what your 09 will be worth in 12months. I doubt a fully loaded one (msrp 19000) has a trade in of $11000. In other words $14500 is nothing to write home about for the 09 17600 gls. Eating 4000-5000 1st 12 months to drive one of these things isn't great. The 08 20400 msrp Sonata gls auto also has a used trade in of $10000 with avg miles. (kbb.com) $15500 is no great deal on a new one. The 08 $27000 msrp Sonata limited has a trade in of $11000. Once again, what your 09 will be be worth in 12 months. Suzuki and Hyundai are the few manufacturers not to post 30-40% sales drops. (They posted 2% sales drops). They are playing their marketing to the hilt.Selling vehicles for possibly more than they did last year at this time. The 18500 Mazda 3 i touring value auto may be had for about 15000 and change, and will be worth almost $13000 in 12 mo. A versa $16000-18000 hatch or sedan for about 12000-14000, and worth 10000-11000. A $19500 pontiac vibe or toyota matrix-- $15400 or so. (worth almost $12000 next year) The kia spectra forum has a $17500 car similar to the elantra, for possibly $11500 or so (worth $8500 used in 12 months). Sucky depreciation like the elantra yes-- but possibly much more of a discount. Worth investigating if true. The mazda is a much better car and value than the elantra, as well as the others. Don't get a ticket getting to the dealer for any of the prices posted, they aren't that great as Hyundai doesn't need to deal. Their sales are great and they are playing their 8% of the market like a fiddle. Check out other options unless for some reason you really really want a Hyundai elantra or Sonata. Good luck --jjf |

Their ad on the radio said they will triple all factory rebates on all 2009 Sonata. Up to 10,000 off MSRP. I do not believe it but that is their claim. I think it is Colonial Hyundai.

Replying to: newowner10 (May 22, 2009 7:35 am) About $7000 off msrp would be pretty good and what I would want off for the 09$20000 gls. I don't know if you if you can get it everywhere though. Hyundai sales aren't off much from last year, and they are working the customers in their 8% of market share pretty well. Good luck --jjf Their ad on the radio said they will triple all factory rebates on all 2009 Sonata. Up to 10,000 off MSRP. I do not believe it but that is their claim.

Picked up my Sonata a few days ago. 09 auto GLS model with the popular equipment package (no sunroof), bluetooth, cargo mats. 19k-3k rebate - 500 loyalty = 15.5k + taxes + 250 doc fee I'm very happy with the purchase so far. This was from Towne Hyundai in Denville. I HIGHLY recommend them. They weren't pushy at all and honored the price they quoted over the phone without any problems. If you're in Jersey or the tri-state area I absolutely recommend that you at least call for a quote. They treat you very well and it was definitely worth the hour drive from where I live - saved at least $500, probably more. |

Route 44 Hyundai. 2009 Cherry Red 4 cylinder GLS Automatic Air AM/FM/CD Power Windows Power Locks Floor Mats 2 remote controlled keys No other options $15,500 including all doc. fees and everything else that doesn't go to the state (sales tax, registration, title fees). Any thoughts on whether this is good enough or is there enough cash on the table for me to run around to other dealers-I have already been to 3 and have played them off as best as I could. |

i just saw an two ads in washington post classified (today) with the dealers selling new fully loaded automatic 2009 gls's for less than 10k, ~9xxx or 11x a month. besides the price, that was almost the exact wording i saw before, i thought they were selling 2008's for this price, but i very clearly remember 2009. so when the people abouve me are saying they paid 14k-15k for this, is it after taxes? cuase i've seen deals on radio & ads for 3x rebates with up to 10k off msrp. if the people who paid 15k without ttl, wouldnt it be better paying 5k more and getting a limited sonata?, i've only read of people getting limiteds 18k-22k or is the prices between other states so much greater? please reply

Replying to: 1283956 (May 25, 2009 12:08 pm) Did you read all the fine print? Anything about "all rebates to dealer" (which could include $3000 general rebate, $500 loyalty rebate, military rebate, student rebate)? Anything about a minimum trade-in allowance that applies (I've seen that before in some sneaky ads)? Anything about the cars being loaners or demos? Anything about limited quanitities (hint: look for an invoice number)? Sometimes dealers mark down one car a lot, then of course it's sold right away but many other buyers come in looking for it, and they can be up-sold. Anything about the car having an automatic transmission? (Although $10k for a stick Sonata is also unbelievably low.) If you are really interested in taking them up on their offer, why not call them and find out what the details are--then share them here. |
