Let me get this straight. You paid $ 12,488.00, plus $299 plus $299, plus $600.00 plus $2495...which totals $16,181.00...for a car that was MSRP of $19,480.00. Where in the heck did the $12, 488.00 figure come from????...what the heck is a "Deset Protection Package???Why $600.00 forGap Protection??? and $2495.00 for that warranty....I think something is wrong here!!!! A dealer " DOES NOT" sell a MSRP $19.480.00 vehicle...reduce the price to $12,488.00, then throw on all those add-ons (whatever the heck they are supposed to be...(except to make up for the low-ball offer).
   It seems to me that you received a good price for the vehicle...but....it sure was the long way around to get it. You threatening to call the owner of the dealership about bait and switch...do you really think that helped...Seems to me all they did was switch the figures around. The dealership owner is the one that probably put the LOWBALL ad in the paper in thje first place!!!
   Please inform us if you get ANY monies back on that so called warranty or any other "unwanted "charges within 15 days. Don't hold your breath on that one!!!

My question would be what is the serial number of the car. I would bet the dealer sold you an early production car.
 
I have had several dealers offer me great deals, but the cars have been sitting on the lot for 3 months. The best deals will be given on cars sitting for more than 90 days.
 
I want an LX made in October or later. I have found the most recent serial numbers in 48500 range. This is the last 5 digits of the VIN. When checking dealer's inventory, I found cars sitting from June. Serial numbers for import Sonata's will be different.

My Sonata GL 4cyl is a made in korea car, (no dissapointments) last 5 on serial # are 83104, build date Apr 29 2005. This is how my "deal" rolled out. Had been calling and going into dealer for the advertised "1 only" unit for over a month, was told vehicle was always there until I walked into the door. Then it was just sold 5 min ago. Got salesman on phone while sitting in parking lot. He told me vehicle was there. Kept him on phone while walking into dealership. Sales says someone borrowed car and it should be back this morning. I said fine lets do all paperwork and I'll take car when it gets here. (salesman says, "your gonna buy a car without even seeing it?") I said yes. After a while they came back and said they couldn't find the add car. They didn't have any 5 spd on lot, but they could get me an automatic w/ floor mats for just a little more. After my mood change, and requesting the owners phone number to inform him of the way his dealership is selling cars, I ended up getting the 4cyl GL auto for the same price. I only financed for the extra $1000 rebate offered. Of course the $600 gap and $2495 are aftermarket and if you read the fine print, they can all be canceled. The finance guy said I have to keep the loan, gap, and extended warranty for 6 months, but I'm gonna cancel as soon as I know all paperwork has gone thru. Desert protection pkg is paint sealant (reapplied every 6 months for 3yrs and fabric sealant. //DEALER AD WAS MSRP $18495 - BIG DISC $4507 - HMFC DISC $1000 -MILITARY $500 = $12488//

On the Korean cars there will be a time delay in manufacture date compared to when a car gets on the lot due to shipping. My '05 was manufactured on 2/17/05 & arrived at dealership on 4/4/05. The delivery time for an American car should be less, but you may be too optomistic is expecting to get a car that was manufacured within two weeks of delivery to dealership.

So is $16,350 including tax, title and registration fees a good price for a Sonata GL 5 sp? This would be including the $1000 Hyundai financing rebate and the $1000 owner loyalty rebate. The price is based on $1000 below invoice on this model.

"...you may be too optomistic is expecting to get a car that was manufactured within two weeks of delivery to dealership."
 
The Alabama plant is making about 400 cars a day. If they sit for 2 weeks at the plant, Hyundai is going to need one big parking lot.
 
It should only take about 2 days to deliver a car carrier to my state.
 
The bigger Hyundai dealer ships have new cars. The smaller ones seem to have a problem moving the merchandise.

If you can get a car that fresh off the assembly line, that's great.
 
400 per day is about 9 per state (excl Alaska and Hawaii). If the production line is running 22 days per month, there would be about 198 cars per month per state (excl A & H).
 
Some states would be allocated more and some states allocated less. It could be doable depending on when a shipment is scheduled for your area.
 
Good Luck.

From what I have been able to deduce, dealers that have been moving product are getting more cars in continually.
 
Dealers with old stock get few in. This makes sense as a dealer which is unable to sell the cars it has does not want more.
 
The dealer nearest me is a podunk, poor excuse for a dealer. Dinky showroom floor, nonexistent customer parking, poor visibility and difficult access. I have been to the dealer twice driving the Sonata. I had to ask the salesman twice to give me a price. I doubt they will get my purchase regardless of price.
 
Hyundai dealers need to move upscale and quite playing the cheap card. A customers first impression is the showroom floor. Let KIA play the cheapest car on earth card.

What is the price of the car before tax, title, and registration fees--that is, MSRP less dealer discount less rebates? Also, there is a $500 general rebate on the Sonata--did the dealer apply that one?

2006 Sonata LX with Pkg. 3 by egarcia52282

My local dealer has offered this deal on the Sonata LX that we want:
 
$24,895 MSRP
$23,439 Invoice (includes $600 Advertising fee in Houston, TX)
$23,039 Sales Price (has $700 Hold Back)
$ 1,500 (Less Rebates)
 
$21,539 (Final Price) + TTL
 
Does anybody think this is a bad deal? I know I can negotiate more since the hold back they have is big and they are making profit there. How much lower do you think I can get the dealer to go down?
