Replying to: billmd (Oct 22, 2005 11:13 am) I live in CT, bought my '05 in FL six months ago. Last week while I was leaving a shopping center, I got a call from the dealership. My salesman has moved into management. His replacement called me to introduce himself and said to call him if I needed help/advice about my car, etc. Obviously, I won't drive almost 1400 miles for service...one round trip is almost an oil change LOL. And I wouldn't drive 20 miles out of the way for an oil change. For other service work, maybe once a year(?), (would have to check the intervals) a trip of 20-40 miles, which could be an hour or so here, wouldn't be bad. Had my first oil change at local Hyundai dealer only about 6 miles away. Same place where the salesman was trying to pay for his kid's college by selling me a car. They treated me well. Except the grease monkey didn't thread the filter correctly. Called them the nex day (after only 15 miles) and they immediately took me in and corrected the problem. Just wanted to post that O'Brien Hyundai in Naples , FL was great to deal with. AND, yes they got all "excellents" on the written survey. My salesman explained the importance of "excellent" vs "very good" for him. I could help him by grading him "excellent" if I was so inclined. I was, so I did. |

Replying to: tom71 (Oct 22, 2005 2:19 pm) As for our new car, we don't have it yet. The dealer is locating one as we were specific as to the 4-cyl steel gray- we are in no hurry. It has an automatic transmission. I believe that the manual transmission comes only on the GL model. My wife (the car is for her) test drove both the I4 and V6 GLS Sonatas and found that the 4-cyl was very peppy and she couldn't really see a difference between the two but we live in NYC not on top of a steep mountain. If you are interested in a 4-cyl I would get the GLS rather than the GL. For a small difference in price there are some nice features you get with the GLS including fog lights, lumbar adjustment on driver's seat, automatic headlights audio controls on steering wheel (volume, mute and mode), trip computer, carpeted floor mats and supposedly a higher quality cloth for the seats. |

I just bought my 2006 LX with Option Package 3 for under $21000 on the road, using $2,500 in rebates ($500 standard hyundai rebate, $1,000 loyalty discount and $1,000 HMFC discount. This price was a good $1500 below any other in my area Baltimore/Washington. Drove the car home staying strictly below 55 and in a 65 mile trip averaged 35 mpg. So far I'm delighted with the car. I think a navigation package would be a nice option to have and I think the dash lights for all the various controls could be a little better integrated and uniform in color - the pale yellow/green isn't my favorite. |

I bought my Sonata 2006 LX with Package 3 Options for $21,167.00 +TTL on October 15th. $1,500.00 of rebates are included in quote listed above. Went to a total of two (2) dealships before purchasing car at second dealership. Both visits were on 10/15/06. Started shopping at 2:00 PM and left the second dealership that night with the new car. The Sonata was purchased here in the Chicago area. I saved about $150.00 by signing deal with the second dealership. I'm still on my first tank of gas and have about 165 miles on the vehicle as of 1:30 AM on 10/24/05. I'm happy with the purchase.

Replying to: enviro2006 (Oct 23, 2005 10:20 am) What dealer did you use in the Baltimore-Washington area? I live in Columbia and have been to Antwerpin. I' ve also seen Internet prices posted through Fitzgerald Auto Mall. Thanks. Bob.

Replying to: wdoran (Oct 24, 2005 6:22 am) I haven't tried any negotiations with Fitzgerald, but I'm seriously thinking about it within the next six months or so. Have a '93 Nissan Maxima that's still a good running around car, but I REALLY liked the Sonatas I test drove. We bought a Tucson at Antwerpin, and at the time I thought the deal was OK. But now I see where I could've done better. Oh, well, live and learn. |

Replying to: hotch41 (Oct 18, 2005 8:42 pm) This is a big profit for the dealer, they send a low paid clerk to the DMV and they may be registering several cars at the same time collecting $299 for each. Negotiate this fee. Don't get suckered by the phrase, "This is dealer policy." |

My wife and I purchased a steel gray 06 Sonata LX last night from Riverton Hyundai in Sandy, Utah. Price including $1,000 finance rebate and $1,000 customer cash rebate was $20,000 + TTL. We opted to not get package 3 because of headroom issues with the sunroof. We added a 10-year, 100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper Hyundai-backed warranty extension for $995. FYI: At 4:00 PM yesterday Hyundai increased the cash rebate from $500 to $1,000 for V6 Sonatas. -Ty |
