#6205 of 6610 Should I buyout at end of lease or return? by samir1010 May 30, 2009 (5:05 am)
I've got a 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS 4cyl that I leased for my wife and our lease is up in August and I can't figure out if I should keep it or not. My residual payoff is $10800. Its only got 22k miles on it as of now. By then I might have another 1k on it. What worries me is the low resale values on Hyundai so I don't want to pick it up and then get screwed later on if I try to sell it. But $10800 does seem like an ok price to me compared to what I'm seeing around in the market.   Just wanted as many opinions as I can get? Is this a good buy or should I return it? Thanks Replies to this message: oskidunker1 (May 30, 2009 7:25 am)

Replying to: westernny (May 27, 2009 5:26 pm) End result, I went to Northtown Automotive, got the 2009 Sonata in White, with floor mats, trunk liner, cargo net, IPOD cable for $15,500. Walked in at 5 pm on a Thursday night, picked up the car the next afternoon. The Salesman Chris was very good.   I'm not sure I could have got any better, maybe only one or two hundred... maybe.   Again, no military or loyalty discount.   The white paint is premium car quality.

Replying to: samir1010 (May 30, 2009 5:05 am) In California, you would have to pay 9% sales tax. I have an Audi I am trying to sell with the lease up 6/20. If I don't sell it by then, I have to pay registration and another extended payment on the lease.Don't buy it if you plan on selling later.. Sell it now. But I would probably keep it. You have a great warranty.   Chase is allowing me to sell the car , even though I am leasing it. One check will be made payable to the lease company and one to me for the difference from what they want. By the way, my residual was 14,700 and they have agreed to take 12,000. Some Lessors ARE negotiating the buy price. Call them. Maybe you can buy the car for less. Offer 8500.

Replying to: westernny (May 30, 2009 7:05 am) That's exactly what I paid for my cherry red automatic, minus the cargo net and Ipod, neither of which we need, after extensive haggling at 4 dealers. So it looks like $15,500 is the max anybody should pay for an automatic with mats-minus taxes and state charges which the dealer of course has no control over.

Replying to: westernny (May 30, 2009 7:05 am) Is this the pearl white paint? That is a beautiful color.

Replying to: wb9696 (May 29, 2009 4:11 pm) Don't count on that low of a price. Two months agos my son was look for an '06-'08 used Sonata, 30K or less miles, for about $13K --One owner & not a rental fleet car. He couldn't find one in CT, NY or NJ at that price level.   He wound up buying a certified '05 Acura TSX with ~ 30 K miles for $15,000 plus tax, etc.   Hyuindais don't have the best "trade-in" values but their trade values have improved. And don't forget the old used car game. Get top dollar for your trade and pay top dollar for the new car. Get a great deal on a new car and get wholesale or less on the trade in.

Replying to: bhmr59 (May 30, 2009 2:22 pm) Well my Sonata went for $15,500 and I intend to keep it for 10 years which I think is a bargain for a semi-luxury car with power windows, locks, cruise, CD, XM, alarm, etc. Plus I got $5000 trade in for my stripped 04 Accent (automatic and air only) which only had a clock radio malfunction go wrong in 5 full years. The Accord costs at least $7000 more and has a warranty seven years less. If you intend to hold the car there is nothing better out there than a Hyundai. Nothing.
#6212 of 6610 looking For SE by mikebzt Jun 01, 2009 (5:34 am)
Does anyone have any buying experience with the SE? I really prefer the leather and alloy wheels. I am guessing $17,500 or perhaps a bit lower but want to hear what others have to say Replies to this message: ippolit (Jun 01, 2009 12:25 pm) billward (Jun 02, 2009 6:39 am) igozoomzoom (Jun 02, 2009 7:04 pm) and 3 more...
#6213 of 6610 Re: looking For SE [mikebzt] by ippolit Jun 01, 2009 (12:25 pm)
Replying to: mikebzt (Jun 01, 2009 5:34 am) The high-performance Sonata SE becomes an even more exciting and willing partner for enthusiastic drivers with its own unique sport-tuned suspension. The new sport-tuned suspension features a 15 percent stiffer front spring rate, 10 percent stiffer rear spring rate, unique strut valving at all four corners and 27 mm front and 17 mm rear stabilizer bars along with unique 17-inch alloy wheels and tires.   I drove SE and didn't feel much difference with other trims, still too soft to my taste, vague steering. But as a family car, good enough. Replies to this message: billward (Jun 02, 2009 6:39 am) igozoomzoom (Jun 02, 2009 7:04 pm) billward (Jun 03, 2009 6:12 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: ippolit (Jun 01, 2009 12:25 pm) I really wanted to prefer the "Mid" car SE over the GLS, but from what I looked at with the price difference versus features, what really mattered to me were minor things, almost all of which were handled via Option Package 2 on the GLS, and weren't worth the price difference between the two. The ONLY two things that I really wish had been on the GLS with the option package that took an SE or higher? The leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter, and the upgraded cloth upholstery. My old Sonata is a GLS (back when it was GL-GLS-LX), and was a REAL step up from the GL... but now, the SE isn't much of an upgrade from the GLS with the Option Package, so the SE really doesn't have a place in the Hyundai lineup now.   The Limited is the Deluxe pakcage, with everything included... the GLS is either the cheap base car, or the standard mid level, depending on Transmission and Option Package. The SE just doesn't fit in now... maybe they need to make the SE a future Sonata Hybrid Station Wagon? I'd have bought one of those in a heartbeat!
