It beats my best quote of:
 
2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS I4 Automatic
Popular Equipment Package
Carpeted Floor Mats
  
$20735 including Freight
-3000 Rebate
-3500 Cash for Clunker Program
-1990 Dealer Price Reduction
$12775 Final Price +TT&L
 
I've been quoted these extras: Cargo mat $60.00 & mud guards $50.40 X 2 (front & rear) does not include installation.
 
This is an Ohio quote and no other dealer in Ohio has been interested in trying to beat it. Where is your quote from?

Samir,
 
This is a very good price indeed. Make sure it includes the destination charge (usually $720). Also factor in any doc fees, sales tax in your state, and tags/title fees.
 
I am actually suspicious of the $2200 price reduction, doesn't seem real, especially for a GLS. Did the dealer quote you over the phone? Most will give false pricing just to get you in the door. Make sure you get stock #s for at least 2-3 units currently at the dealership at that price. I got a $1543 discount over Edmunds TMV price for my Limited.
 
Anyone else here got close to this price on their GLS purchase?
 
Also, consider this the 2010 Sonata is only weeks away from shipping to dealers. All dealers have orders in for it. The incentives on the 09 leftovers will be crazy low. 08 Limited 4 cyl leftovers sold for around $15500.
 
If your clunkers trade-in is close to $3500, and you can wait for the 09 leftovers, the price difference may only be couple of hundred dollars. Only if you can wait. In my case, I wanted a very specific car which would have been almost impossible to find as a leftover and I didn't want to take that chance. And my clunker was only worth about $1200 private party.

Hi,
My husband and I are going car shopping this weekend. We want to purchase a Hyundai Sonata. I've come up with this price to ask - and have emailed the dealers in our area. We can either go north or south - we live in the boonies and have to travel to Knoxville Tennessee or Somerset Kentucky for a dealership.
 
The price I've been asking for is this:
 
GLS - no equipment package
 
$19,900 - automatic
$ 720 - freight charges (Per edmunds)
 
$20,620 - MSR
$4,500 cash for clunkers (We have an Izusi Rodeo 4x4)
$3,000 Hyundai Rebate
 
$13,120 - after rebates
 
I'm asking for $13,000 OUT THE DOOR , to include taxes, tags and tittle
(I am assuming that Out the Door includes all dealership fees, notary fees, freight, gas charges)
 
Title Taxes and Tags should be around $1,400 - KY does 90 percent of sticker price. You have to pay taxes on the $4,500 and $3,000 rebate (why I don't know)
 
So I'm asking the dealership to give me a about a $1,500 discount from his own pocket.
 
have any of you dealt with any dealerships in Tennessee - Morristown and Knoxville are the two places we could buy at.
 
Somerset in Kentucky is about as far as we want to travel - after that it gets to lexington - although that's about as far as Knoxville.

Sorry, Pat, but you're overpaying by nearly $2K. WITHOUT the Cash for Clunkers program, two months ago my wife and I bought a Slate Blue GLS I4 with PEP, Floormats, and Blueconnect for $16800ish OTD in Virginia (after I've adjusted for our owner Loyalty rebate; we paid $500 less than that, but you sound like you don't qualify). You're paying 17620 for a car WITHOUT over $1000 of upgrades, that's almost $2K too much.
 
You probably won't be able to OTD for $11K, but you should get a seriously nicer version of the car (PEP makes a WORLD of difference in the feeling of quality in the car) for the price you're paying if you're getting $4500 more off. Use Edmunds to try to see what dealers local to you are doing, and get a comparison from Fitzmall, too (they can't be more than three-four hours away from you, and isn't that worth $2K?)

Around $1500 under MSRP before rebates, which is several hundred under invoice, isn't a bad discount, but can be seen from recent posts there have been better deals elsewhere, e.g. the recent post about over $2000 under MSRP before rebates. Getting $3500 under MSRP before rebates, as billward suggests you shoot for, is nice if you can get it--but not typical. Still, you might want to shop around some more before pulling the trigger.

But right off the bat at Fitzmall, there's a White and a Willow Grey GLS I4 Auto for $15498+TTL. Take off the $4500 and she's at $10998+TTL. Both come with floormats at that price, and the Willow has Mud Guards. She can do substantially better with just a few minutes work. I didn't buy from Fitzmall, but my dealer (West Broad Hyundai, in Richmond Virginia, two hours from my home in Virginia Beach) beat them by a few pennies in the OTD price for our car. She should at least go armed with some of that information if she wants to get the best deal she can. She's starting in the $17620s.... and right there is $2122 she can save. Of course, she might not like those COLORS.... but the points the same, and some of the other cars aren't much more.

$15,498 + $3000 = $18,498, or a little more than $2000 under MSRP depending on how old it is and what the destination charge is. That is pretty far from $3500 off MSRP. But it's a good example that it can pay to shop around--it's around $600 less than the deal that was offered.

Backy, she's quoting 17620 for her quote, after the $3K rebate, but before her CARS rebate. This is $2122 less than what her dealer offered, with a few (Mats and Flaps) options as well. I'm unsure where you're getting the $600 less part. Is her original dealer quoting MSRP?

The original post said the offer from the buyer was about $1500 under MSRP, not accounting for the rebates; basically the dealer would be paying the taxes and fees. You remarked that was about $2000 too high, based on the deal you got on your car. My great math skills tell me that's an expectation of $3500 off MSRP.
 
The Fitzmall price you noted is about $2100 under MSRP, before rebate. Again using my fantastic math skills, $2100 - $1500 = $600.

I've been following the forum to get an idea for what i should offer for my next Sonata, but i am confused with all the figures in the last dozen or so pages. So, i am hoping someone could offer perspectives on the internet quotes I got from two dealers in the Chicago area.
 
I am interested in a 2009 Sonata GLS i4 Auto, with PEP. Two quotes I got:
 
1) MSRP: $21,650; Quote: $16,650 + TTL (no trade in)
2) MSRP: $21,900; Quote: $16,900 + TTL (no trade in)
 
I am not sure what the difference is b/w the MSRPs.
 
Are these reasonable quotes? how much more can i push this down?
 
Thanks in advance for the help!
