Replying to: mrukz (Jun 13, 2009 10:44 am) I came to the local Hyundai to get the "ad car" which was being sold for $14, 395. As I was told, they would not be able to budge on the price on "ad car" as it is considered a "loss leader." Reportedly, there is no room to negotiate. There were only two cars for that price (white and red). I wanted a black one, so they charged me an additional $300. They initially wanted $500, but I said I will think about it. That was when they said OK. I got the car for $16,600 OTD in California. I have never owned a Hyundai before, but I noticed two obvious things that Hyundai does not offer to customers, but others such as Honda and Toyota do. They did not offer me a free oil change. My past three purchases from Honda, Toyota and Isuzu, they all offered the 1st oild chage for free. For Hyundai, I had to persuade them to. Second, they did not fill up the tank for me when I drove off the lot. As a matter of fact, this took me by surprise. Did this happen to anyone? Was you gas tank filled up? Mine was almost empty. I am just curious if other Hyundai buyers got a full tank of gas when you drove off the lot. The reason I ask is because I always got free tank of gas with Honday, Toyota and Isuzu. Also, my salesperson appeared to be new or scatter-brained. She forgot to post the temporary car registration to the winshield of my car. I almost drove off the lot without it. When I asked her about it, she immediately apologized and had a look of embarrassment or fear as if that was something that she should not have forgotten. Please let me know if I was supposed to get a full tank of gas with the car or this is something that does not happen with Hyundai. Thanks for any info. |

Replying to: backy (Jun 13, 2009 6:48 pm) If financing, check out credit unions, online sources etc for the best rates with your credit rating. All this can add up to $2000 or more over 4-5 years. Exhaust your efforts there and leave the $25 stuff alone. It makes little sense getting distracted by pennies and leave $2000 or more on the table. Or break you neck with a dealer trying to extract a $25 oil change when a dealer 70 miles north may have coughed up another $700 or more on the sales price. If he knew you existed June 28th or so. Good luck --jjf

Replying to: mrukz (Jun 14, 2009 5:43 am) You got a great deal then. I thought I got an OK deal until you posted what you got. I thought it is standard practice to give the customer a free tank of gas when you take delivery of the car. That why I was surprised that I did not get it. My salespeson was just an air head. She did not do anything when she gave me the key. She just gave me the key and said here you go. I recall Honda and Toyota would take their time going over the service manual, tire warranty pamphlets, etc. I probably got a bad salesperson. Great yob on your price.
