See, if I had bought that car it would have cost me about $15,800 right (DC taxes? But I would have received only $1000 on my old car, so $14,800 when all was said and done. Under CARS, I got it for $13,300. Seems like a good deal to me, even if the dealer got a bit more. Maybe I could've done better, but I think I did better than I could have without CARS.
 
I gotta say too, just objectively speaking, $13,300 for a brand new mid-size sedan is outstanding.

Nope, I think you would have gotten the car at the same price or just slighty cheaper pre-CARS, depending on the actual trade in on your old car. Price has gone up by ~$1.5K-$1.8K, plus rebates have gone down about $1K; you would have paid the same pre-CARS (since you would have gotten $1000 from the trade in, so CARS effectively gave you $2500). Thus it would either be a wash or about $300 less a month or two ago. If you had REALLY pushed it, you could have shaved even more then (dealers less likely to drive hard in July...)

How much were the rebates a few months ago? When did prices go up due to CARS? When I bought my car the other day they were the same as about a month ago when I got a quote that included $3000 off the Sonata.

I would agree, Steve. You did well and I, for one, would have jumped at that price for that car. There is always someone who can get one more dollar, but at some point it becomes like alternative energy - costs more than a dollar to save a dollar.
 
Good job.

Steve, I think you got a good deal regardless, but the rebate about two months prior to CARS on the Sonata was $5,000 if you had Hyundai Loyalty.
 
You didn't get hosed at all, but I'm sure a lot of people will get hosed, because they'll go into the minefield that is CARS not knowing if their clunker qualifies, and get ambushed.
 
Like I said earlier, I see a bunch of print ads and tv ads now that literally insert the maximum rebate of $4,500 under the CARS program and insinuate that it's just available to anyone, even those without a car to trade in.
 
That's how they're printing those ridiculously low prices in their ads like $12,700 for an Altima and such.

...You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information.....
 
What the hell...if you're from Texas I guess you don't have to follow the rules.

Mike, I think you're mistaken. The general rebate was $3,000 (may have even been $2,000) and the loyalty rebate was either $500 or $1,000.
 
I think to rebate was either $3K & $500 loyalty or $2K plus $1,000 loyalty.
 
I don't recall seeing the Hyundai rebate as high as $5k. Maybe dealers in your area were offering $2,000 off MSRP?

bhm, you may be right in that the advertised manufacturer cash was never as high as $5,000, but I am positive that there were holdbacks and such supported by Hyundai so that dealers were advertising $5,000 and even more off MSRP.
 
I remember when Randall Noe Hyundai was selling a 2009 Sonata GLS automatic with an MSRP just south of 21k for $13,990, plus TTL, and they had 18 in stock at that price.
 
I think it was back in March.

Thanks a lot for the advice, billward. For $1000+, probably I will wait until Sep then....At that time 10 Sonata should be in stock, right? Do they usually give great incentives for the new model? Will they still have leftover 09 ones?
 
When I ask a dealer to beat a price I got from another forum, he asked me to provide the quote in writing with msrp and a break down of the tax and fees.... otherwise he cannot beat it.
 
Can anyone give me the information he wants? I want a 09 Sonata GLS i4 AT w. pep (without sunroof). Many many thanks!
