Yes, I agree that there will be more good deals to be had. I can't help but think that the Sonatas are not selling well at all. I've seen maybe a half a dozen of them on the road since they hit the showroom floors.

Hyundai overall sales dropped 11.2% this past October compared to October 2004, so that is indeed pretty bad. I can't remember the last time I saw Hyundai monthly sales decline year-on-year. The Sonata sold 9,676 units this October compared to 8,589 of the previous generation Sonatas sold last October. While this is an improvement, I'm not sure how this compares to their expectations of selling a newly re-designed car as compared to the model in it's last year as was the case in the fall of 2004. So, I'm guessing the incentives are going to remain pretty strong for the Sonata this coming month. We consumers might be able to score some pretty good deals on the Sonata, I'm thinking.

I've decided to trade my 2002 Camry for a LX with the sun roof and CD changer. Fitz wants $20,070 which is $1,500 less than the best deal I have found locally in Pittsburgh. I'm going out to MD this weekend to buy the car. I hope it isn't a wild goose chase.

From all I've read/seen they have a good reputation. I think they are a very high volume dealer and that's why they can cut such good deals. Good luck you. Please let us know how it turns out.

So the decline in sales really isn't due to the Sonata, but probably other cars, e.g. few '05 Elantras left on lots, no '06s yet and few incentives on them; same situation with the Accent; and Santa Fe and XG350 are old models being replaced soon.

Print your internet request and take it to #1 Cochran in Monroeville. They will match the deal. Which would save you a lot of time and gas.
What people forget is that every Hyundai dealer pays the same for each car. The thing that differs at Fitzgerald, being that they are located in Maryland, ther is no regulation on doc fees.
Just email Cochran with what vehicle you want and the time and day you are coming and they will have the car waiting for you.

Fitzgerald are good guys. They are completely legit with their posted prices. While I am waiting to see what happens with Mazda 5 pricing, I very nearly made the decision to buy a Sonata last week. They had a good supply of 5 speed GLs, but they very nearly sold them out. I doubt many more sticks will be coming in. But, I had a long talk over the phone with the sales manager at the Hyundai store, and I believe everything he told me. The key with the lower prices we saw in October on the Sonatas versus what was posted in September is that Hyundai extended dealer money which the consumer usually is not aware of. I bemoaned the fact that I do not own a Hyundai currently, and therefore could not get the additional $1000 off. But he made the point that perhaps in November, the dealer money won't be there. So even if the published rebates don't change, it is possibly they won't be able to sell them as cheaply if all incentives are not continued in November.

Um, doc fees in Maryland are actually 'reasonable' compared to the great state of Virginia, where they really take you for a ride.

In Pennsylvania they are regulated at $55 dollars, which is definately a far cry from other states. That is how Fitzgerald makes their money.
