Good Deal on Sonata GLS V6? by throckmorton
Oct 29, 2005 (6:26 pm)
Reply
10/29/2005 in Boston, MA (on the Automile)
Sonata GLS V6 (as equipped - no options)
  
$21,495.00 MSRP [ $20,895 + $600 Destination]
  
$19,500.00 Sale Price
+ $ 259.99 Title
+ $ 94.00 License/Transfer/Inspection sticker
+ $ 875.00 Sales Tax
- $1000.00 Manufacturer Rebate
- $1000.00 HMFC Rebate
_________________________
$18,728.99 Final Price [$17,500 before fees]
 
Went for the financing to get the rebate. Plan to refinance early next week. Finance guy told us to wait 4 months before we refinance so the dealership would not get burned by Hyundai for customers not following through. Then charged us 9.8% on the paperwork after telling us it was 8.9%. The salesperson straightened him out because he had already sent the paperwork to his back at 8.9% and he had our signature at the higher rate. We figured we didn't care we were going to refinance anyway. Turns out what he did was illegal and he could have gotten really burned because did not have a signed a sheet with the 8.9% rate. Anyway, it got straightened out and we plan on calling our bank on Monday but I am looking forward to the customer satisfaction phone call from Hyundai.
 
Anyway, love this car so far. I have been driving around my suburban town in the rain and snow today and boy does it handle well. Already spilled coffee in it

Your sales tax is apparantly lower than CT's. But does Taxachusetts really charge $260 for a title?

Congratulations on the purchase, zen2. The I4 would have given a bit more MPG, but I think you'll enjoy driving that powerful V6. It's nice to know, and feel, there's always power on tap when needed/wanted. Happy ownership!

My friend just last weekend bought a 06 Sonata LX V6 with leather and all except the sunroof for $17950(before fees). It took him about 3 months to get it this low, and the dealer is in Gurnee, IL. If anyone is around this location this is a great buy.

This is rather hard to believe since that is over $3.6K BELOW invoice. While I understand there are good deals and incentives around on Sonatas this is a tad over the top. I would love to know how this dealer stays in business....

Title fees seem to vary by dealer. Another dealer quoted me $229, but had a higher overall price and would not budge.
 
You know you're from Massachusetts when you drive 45 minutes to New Hampshire to save $5 in sales tax.

Maybe we're using different terminology. Most places have a dealer conveyence fee. Are you including that in the term "title fee?" In CT, unfortunately not far behind MA in taxes (& hidden taxes called something else), title fee is charged by the state ($20 or $25) to issue and maintain a title regardless of make or model of anything else. Title fee does not vary from dealer to dealer (unless they try to rip you off by charging an add on to process the title papers in addition to the other paper work they charge you for).
 
Focus on the bottom line. I bought my car in FL, paid $1500-1600, after taxes & all fees, less than local CT dealer wanted. Yet, FL dealer's conveyence fee was $80 higher. Same 6% sales tax.

Well, they don't sell every one for that low a price. But dealers, for whatever reason, sometimes do sell a car for many thousands below a normal price. I don't know why. Maybe to win a contest? between 55% and 75% of MSRP is doable on Hyundais and Kias with no trade and no dealer pacs.

I suppose. What gets me is when someone in these forums names the dealership so others can go there (many from another state which I find mind-boggling) so they can get the same "great" deal! Following that train of thought, the dealer would def go out of business giving all these great deals to folks who frequent edmunds.....
