Yes, they offered the first oil change free and the tank was full.

sounds like you and others are familiar with towne hyundai and hackettstown hyundai. i want to buy an 09 sonata gls when i turn in my leased 06 sonata. hackettstown hyundai is now offering a new incentive. buy a new 09 sonata gls, auto. trans., 4 cyl., for: $14,988. small print says "price includes $3000 consumer rebate and $500 loyalty rebate. the ad also says FOR CURRENT LEASEES "hackettstown hyundai pays you $500 per month, in lieu of rebates, by reloadable cash debit card for 6 months."
CAN ANYONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS DEAL. HELP  ">

Thanks for the response & terminology clarification. If it's helpful to anyone, the destination fee is $695 for the GLS, regardless of which of the 3 dealers I deal with in town.
I spoke over the phone with one of the dealers again (dealer #1 in my original post). Basically, they're offering ~$5,200 off MSRP (after rebate, before TTL and destination fee) for any GLS. So for a base level GLS (with no mats or mud guards), it works out to $19.9 - $5.2 = $14.7, or about $15,400 after destination fee. We'll see if that's how it works out in-person, but if it does, I'd feel ok about that deal.

Problem is the hassle of changing out the tires and getting new rims as I hate hubcaps. I would have to get the pop equip package also if I got a GLS so for me the better deal would be to go with the SE and not have to worry about taking the car to a shop and getting new rims

I don't know about Hackettstown but it sound like it's Hyundai's national/regional advertising program. Instead of getting $3K rebate the buyer can opt for $500 cash back per month for six months. To me, that doesn't seem very smart except in an unusual circumstance where financial obligations will disappear within those six months and income is expected to increase.
I'd take the $3K up front and save the finance charges on that $3K. It's just marketing.

Mike, my 2 man business bought an '07 Sonata in Feb. '07 from Towne. There was no BS...everything was agreed upon before we drove the 100 miles from CT to take delivery. After our purchase seven other people we know also bought from Towne. (You can mention dealership names, just not suppopsed to mention sales people names, otherwise I'd mention our salesman.)
They were great to deal with: car was ready when we got there. No more than a half hour signing papers, review of the car and warranty by salesman, general chit chat, etc.
You won't go wrong if you buy from Towne.

thanks for the reply. good point about saving on the financing charges on the $3k rebate. the only problem is, the way the ad was worded it sounds like for current leasees, they don't have the option of taking that $3k upfront. sounds like they only have the option of the $500 cash back a month for 6 months.

i agree about the guys at towne hyundai. they're great. i had a good experience there.
just wish i was convinced that hyundais are reliable. i'm having my doubts about buying a new sonata after i turn in my leased 06 sonata, because i've struggled with those annoying premature rear brake problems (squealing and rusting and quick and uneven wear -- at 20k miles and again at 33K miles).

Check it out, the $3K is a general rebate available to anyone. I'd also check to see if the loyalty rebate is available to leasees. I think it should, but that's only my opinion. A good dealer should be able to work for you on this.
Good Luck.

My '05 and my partners '07 haven't had any such problems here in CT, where there's a lot of stuff put on the roads in the winter.
We're about 14 miles inland from Long Island Sound. Are you nearer to salt water? Maybe that makes a difference. ???? Duh, I'm just fishing.
