#79 of 6610 New 2002 Sonata LX in San Francisco, CA by bsalomone Sep 18, 2002 (10:20 am)
Hello I just purchased a 2002 Slate Grey Sonata LX with ABS/Traction Control and moonroof in the San Francisco Bay area. Negotiated price was $18,444 plus tax and license. Dealer offered $800 less than invoice.   I used an internet sales manager I found through Autobytel.com, and there was no haggling, no hassles. Everything was arranged through email, and the dealer found the car with the options and color I wanted wihtin 3 hours.   We love this car. Good luck
#80 of 6610 Sonata vs. Elantra Pricing by jim3039 Oct 14, 2002 (10:11 am)
I'm shopping for an Elantra from my Mother In-Law. I have noticed on the TMV pricing that a basic 2002 Sonata (not GLS or LX) with ABS and moonroof is less than a 2003 Elantra with ABS, $15,539 vs. $16,081. Can this be true? Or, am just missing something in the equation. Please advise. Thanks.

I guess it depends on how valuable the extra size, different styling, etc. on the Sonata (I prefer the Sonata styling) versus the extra features you'll get on the Elantra are worth. For us, we wanted the additional room and Sonata styling. Plus we wanted a car with ABS and Traction Control -- we went with a 2002 Sonata and love it! For a couple thousand more (over the life of the car), we figured it wasn't that much more to pay, relatively.
#82 of 6610 New and amazing by mzzwingz Oct 19, 2002 (2:26 pm)
I just purchased my 2nd Sonata. I had a 2001, sold it and just purchased a 2002 LX Sonata with all the bells and whistles. I purchased it from the same dealer and delt directly with the manager. He remembered me because he purchased the car I traded in for the 01 sonata for his neice I believe. My car is the merlot color, off white leather interior/heated leather seats, all the standard features I assume ABS/moon roof. Anyway I went in from asking for price on internet and they were asking $20,800 and I got it for $17,800. I only put 500 down and got a good interest rate. I can't get over the price for what I got. I was really excited. The dealer I used is so non hassle and I was in and out of there in no time. It is nice as a woman to get things the way you want and not be hassled. I told them the payment I wanted and no hassles of can you do this or that.....right the first time. Lori

Lori: Congrats on your latest Sonata purchase. Are you sure you got heated seats on your Sonata? I didn't think that was an option (unless it was aftermarket). Can you let me know? Thanks.

I am in the market for a 2003 Sonata LX. What area do you reside that you received such a wonderful deal?? Craig
#85 of 6610 $16242 for base 4AT, sunroof, ABS & TC ???? by karl7777 Nov 17, 2002 (5:29 pm)
What does everyone think about $16242 (off the lot price) for a base Sonata 4AT, with sunroof, ABS & traction control?   Also has sunroof deflector, mats, and mud guards.   They have it in stock.   p.s. How can a base unit have Traction control? The shiny brochure says "N/A".   thanks!
#86 of 6610 TCS and price paid... by sambojoho Nov 18, 2002 (6:59 am)
Karl: To see if the car you are looking at has traction control, look on the window sticker and see if it is listed. Also, when you turn the car on, the TCS light will come on briefly, and the car should have a TCS button on the dash to the left of the steering wheel, next to the Cruise button. But, I don't think TCS is an option on the base model (I think you can get ABS only).   Lori: As for the deal you got, what did you get for your 2001? Quoting a price for your 02 LX may be misleading (they could give you a great price on the new car, but screw you on the trade to compensate). And why did you specify the payment that you wanted? I've found that it is always better to negotiate sales price rather than monthly payments, so you can be absolutely sure what you are paying. If you start with a monthly payment, they can get you to pay more for the car, or a higher interest rate without you realizing it. Just suggestions for people to be aware of.
#87 of 6610 No TCS after all by ktrans Nov 18, 2002 (10:23 am)
I went down this morning (cashier's check in hand) and checked out their base Sonata with TC. Sure enough, no TC button. The salesman acted surprised. We had talked about TC many times.   Now get this, they won't lower the price. They quoted me a price for a feature that the car doesn't have but say the best they can do is to give me one free oil change.   Boy am I glad I didn't buy it and find out later.   thanks, ktrans (aka karl7777)
