Geez!
 
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.

Well, do not worry too much about your price. You should compare it to others in CA. It can be that fees and taxes are higher there than in MA. Also, I payed in cash, and if you do that, many dealers will go lower than if you took a loan.
 
As far as my price goes, I have made a deal on a Friday, for 17,600$ OTD (I have not payed yet). But over the weekend, I started thinking that this was a bad price. On Monday, I went to another dealer with a check made out to them. I dangled the check in front of them, and they proposed 16,663$. I went out, called the other dealer, and told them that I can only pay 16,700$ for my car. To my surprise they agreed without any argument. I guess they knew that I am slipping away, and my delivery was scheduled for 3:00pm. This was the first time I have pulled something like this off, but it taught me something about buying cars.
 
It sounds as if you got a bad dealership. If you ever get any survey, you should make it clear. As far as I understand, dealers that score high on customer satisfaction get extra incentives from Hyundai. If your dealer did not do a good job, they should not get the incentives.

I don't quite understand your post. If I can get free oil changes for life from a car dealer because that is their policy, and I also get a great price on the car there, that is only to my benefit. Since oil changes cost at least $25, sometimes more, that's at least $50 a year benefit to me, or several hundred dollars over the life of the car (I am into Year 6 on my Hyundai now). I expended no effort to get the free oil changes, as it was the dealer's standard policy.
 
If I can get the same price from two dealers and one offers me free oil changes every 3750 miles and one does not, everything else being equal I'd take the free oil changes. With pricing being very competitive, sometimes it comes down to other reasons to buy a car from a particular dealer.

That type of thinking goes back at least 40 years.
 
Dealers don't care whether they get cash or if the car is financed. The money is the same. In fact most dealers who "help in the financing" get a piece of the finance charges.
 
For this reason, most dealers prefer financing over cash. They just keep playing the "cash price" game with those who think they will get a better price for "cash."

A dealer in a Chicago suburb is advertising $5000 off MSRP for any Sonata in stock. This would be even better than invoice minus rebates but I think there are deals being made even bettern than that. Check Fitzmall.com prices for a comparison.

I just cut and paste the ad here for you...
 
"North Freeway Hyundai's 2 for 1 Sale worked so well it's back AND we've made it even better!!
 
Now you don't have to be a Hyundai owner and we're talking 2009s, not 2008s. Buy any new 2009 Hyundai Sonata and get a new 2009 Hyundai Accent for $1.00. That's not a misprint; One US Dollar!
 
Really, that's it. No tricks. As a matter of fact here's the fine print: When you purchase any new 2009 Hyundai Sonata at Dealer’s list price, you will receive a new 2009 Hyundai Accent (Dealer List Price $10,960.00) for $1. The customer is responsible for all fees and taxes on both vehicles (by the way, that’s less than $600 on the Accent).
 
You can finance with us, your own bank or pay cash; we don't care! You can trade in a car! You don't have to own a Hyundai! You substitute the Accent for an Elantra, just pay the difference.
 
Offer is valid while supplies last or June 30th, 2009 whichever comes first. There are a limited number of these models remaining in inventory, so hurry!
 
Go to www.HoustonHyundai.com for complete details. There won't be anything there that you won't like.
 
Sincerely,

And here the info for Champion Hyundai
 
Champion Hyundai
12211 Gulf Freeway
Houston, TX 77034
 
Here is the quote he gave me a while back (1/15/09)
 
2009 Sonata GLS Auto
MSRP: $20,285
Discount: $1,730
MFG Rebate: $2,000
Owner Loyalty Rebate: $1,500
Price: $15,055 plus TT&L
  
DriveOut: $16,225 including TT&L
 
If you don't own a Hyundai, the owner loyalty rebate may not apply. But the manufacture rebate is $3000 now instead of $2000, so you should be able to get the Sonata at this price or just a little bit more.

I think one catch is "Dealer list price". That could be anything +/- MSRP. I'm assuming they mean MSRP. I believe they would not discount the car and they would keep any rebates. It is still a great deal unless the dealer fee is really high and dealer add-ons like paint sealcoat, nitrogen filled tires, etc are significant. If that's the case you would really have to look at the numbers but they did qualify limited quantities so it may be more of a gimmick to get people in the door.
 
If they can get twenty people to come in and only do a couple of the advertised deals but sell cars to many of the rest it worked for them.

I would have bit for this 6 weeks ago, if Houston wasn't half way accross the country; my 19 year old son's car is a 1991 with 218K miles on it.... he'd have had a heart attack if we gave him a brand new car and said he had to pay the difference (about $3500) from what we paid.... he'd have been "Can I go pick out the color? And if I pay for extra options, can I get them, too?"

Why you ask?
1. I hate hubcaps with a passion and want rims. Yes I can get a GLS then pay for rims but don't want the hassle.
 
Price I was quoted was. $17,138
My understanding is that this is just the 3k off as I do not qualify for the other discounts.
I am thinking this is a good price but want to hear other opinions so please fire away.
