I would like to hear experiences in greater Boston area. Looks like it's going to be a GLS V6 or maybe 4 cylinder (difference in reality)? Pls share final price and how you negotiated it? Confused about destination charge and advertising fees.

Trade my 2005 Accord LX-V6 for 2006 LX Sonata?? by hotch41

This is a quote I received from a Hartford, CT dealer for a base 2006 LX Sonata (no sunroof:
Dealer Invoice, $22,161 (including $600 advertising) - holdback, $687 - finance and customer cash rebates, $1,500 = $19,974 sale price. The dealer will give me Kelley Blue Book trade-in of $18,100. So this comes out to be a balance of $1,874 plus TTL. Their doc fee is $299 (a bit high but I think this is a fair deal). The reason why I'm thinking about trading the Honda is the Hyundai warranty, additional safety features such as electronic stability control, 5-star crash test rating for both front and side (the Accord only received 4 stars on the side crash rating) leather, etc. I think the Honda drives a tad better, but I wanted to get anyone's opinion on this deal. THANKS VERY MUCH!!

If you like the Sonata at least $1900 worth, go for it.

You might consider re-posting your reasons for considering this trade in the "Hyundai Sonata vs. Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry vs. Ford Fusion" discussions for a more balanced cross section of responses.

Hi sw1191,
 
Which rebates did you get on this Sonata? What kind of tint and how much did it cost? I was looking for the same exact model/options in Steel Gray. Nobody has it, so I might opt to get a different color. Are you having any trouble with the Ebony Black?
 
Thanks.

Hyundai Post Sales Survey-Dealership ticked by billmd

I purchased an 06 GLS back in August. I am very pleased with the car. About 2 weeks ago I got a call from Hyundai doing a phone survey on my satisfaction. I expressed my many likes and a couple dislikes such as the annoying seat belt chime. The surveyor asked me to complete an online survey which I did. As I remember the survey was like a 1 is best 5 is worst type selections. I completed the survey very objectively using a lot of 2's and 3's. Questions related to the car, the dealership etc. Well last night I got a call from the sales person and from the sales manager hammering me as to why I "trashed" them on the survey. Apparently they don't get any points for anything under a 2 (very impressed) on the survey. He went on for a few minutes until I saw no further point in the conversation. I have bought many new cars and never had this experience. This dealership sure gave Hyundai a black eye. I can't imagine ever buying from them again. I will probably be very concerned about getting any service work done there. I think if I had it to do all over I would pass on the Hyundai. Go with something more mainstream.

Wow. What idiots. What a missed opportunity to improve customer satisfaction. ("We would like to understand why you rated our dealership as you did so we can address your concerns.")

I agree, the thing is that I didn't rate anything real bad. For instance the dealerships showroom was a tad tacky and needed some decorating so I rated it average. They were trying to tell me that unless they get the highest or next highest rating that they get a zero. Sounds like internal strife between the dealership and Hyundai. Definitely something I don't need to be put in the middle of.

I believe they expected you to give them top scores across the board, like most manufacturers (home builders do the same thing). Anything less than a perfect score counts against them. This is NOT unique just to Hyundai. Heck, even a 4 would be bad but to give them a 2 or 3 - whoa, no wonder they were upset....lol. BTW, I would be leery of going there for service too.

It is absurd to ask a customer to fill out a survey and expect the highest score in all areas. Like I say, thats between them and Hyundai. Apparently they prefer to take it out on customers rather than taking the issue to Hyundai. Anyway, buyers beware....don't fill out any Hyundai surveys.
