Is that a good deal? Thanks.

Your Tax/Tag/Title fees are different than Virginia's and I don't remember the exact amount (I could look it up, but I'm too lazy too right now) before those... but it's not a bad deal. I think you could do a couple hundred dollars less, since I got the PEP and the BlueConnect and Floormats for only a few hundred more.
 
Regardless, though, look at the deal like this: it's not bad from other people. Is it good to YOU? If you're happy with the deal, and happy with the car, then go for it.
 
That said, PEP and BlueConnect get two big thumbs up.... I've gotten to the point I can't imagine not having those in the car, as it wouldn't be nearly as "nice" to drive. If you can find a way of swinging them (or even just test driving a car with it to see what PEP offers (not worth setting up Blue Connect just for a test drive)) in your budget, go for it and see for yourself.

It's the lowest one I got so far. Although the dealer documentation fee is $200 higher than others, the total is a little less. I hope the dealer won't play any trick.

You're right! We like the PEP and the dealer I've found with the best price is willing to upgrade us to a cocoa Sonata that has the PEP for only $400 additional.

Then congratulations... my wife and I are LOVING our Slate Blue with Camel interior 09 GLS I4 Auto with PEP, BlueConnect, and Floormats. Had it for just about two months now, and my wife loves it more everyday. Her only complaint so far has been she can't hook her brand new MP3 player in... the stereo, for some reason, can't read that particular brand of Sansa Connect players. OTOH, works fine with her old MP3 and with plain old thumbdrives.
 
My only complaint is directly related to her driving... she calls me on the when she's on the way home in it (works 40 minutes away) while I'm still at work and wants to chat (unlimited Cell Phone minutes), and the BlueConnect very occasionally picks up a little more road noise (which can't be heard in the car). From the driver's point of view, there's no sound iterference, though, and no extraneous noise (I know, as I use BC when I'm in the car, too).

Hyundai doesn't make a V4.

What's that? Test drove an '09 GLS on Sunday and not sure it had that option.

PEP is just shorthand for Popular Equipment Package 1 (Popular Equipment Package 2 is PEP plus the Sunroof/Moonroof). Popular Equipment Package 1 includes (from the Hyundai Website)
 - Power driver seat
 - Steering wheel audio controls
 - Driver’s lumbar support
 - Automatic light control
 - Trip computer
 - Chrome window belt moldings
 - Woodgrain accents (beige interior)
 
I've been told that on the Grey Interior, there are Carbon Fiber accents, but I can't verify that. I know that the Woodgrain definitely looks classy with the Beige. As I said, PEP2 includes the "Power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof"; it's quite nice (we have it on our 2003 Sonata GLS V6, which was the midrange car in 2003, between the GL and LX) but my wife has had a habit of leaving open the sunroof on days when it may rain later in the afternoon on the last two cars we've had it in, and it adds $900 to the MSRP. PEP has an MSRP of $650, so we just got PEP. PEP is well worth it, IMO, unless every penny counts, just for the Steering Wheel Audio Controls, Lumbar Support, and Trip Computer alone, the rest is just gravy. The Trip Computer helps my wife know if she can make it "one more day" before having to refill quite nicely.
 
The only thing that I really miss that should have been in PEP was the Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel and Shift Knob, and MAYBE the Solar Control Glass; I'd have paid an extra $300 for those, for sure. They're included in the V6 GLS, but not available at all in the I4 GLS. Our 2003 has them, of course, and they make the "Touch" surfaces so much nicer. We bought an aftermarket leather wrap for our steering wheel, and it's nice, but I would have preferred the factory installed wrap, and that still doesn't cover the shift knob (which looks very nice with the PEP, but doesn't have the Leather "Touch"). However, PEP is the same for the I4 and V6 GLS models, so that may be why those didn't get included; it would have meant a pricing difference between the packages that would expose how much Hyundai really feels the Leather Touch surfaces and Solar Control glass are worth.

Price went up? by hum3

I've been checking on Fitzmall over the past few months, is it my imagination or did the prices go up on the 09?
 
Second question is does anyone know how to find which dealers are doing clunkers already? I saw a press release that Hundai was advancing money to dealers but I've emailed a few and none seem to know about it. Thanks!
