#397 of 598 Re: hyundai resale value? [jrtny04] by backy Jun 15, 2006 (9:09 am)
Replying to: jrtny04 (Jun 15, 2006 9:00 am) IMO it's due to the strong brand equity Honda and Toyota have compared to Hyundai, and HonYota's reputation for long-term reliability.   And there is a difference in purchase price between HonYotas and comparable Hyundais. For example, there is a couple thousand dollars difference bewteen the Accent and Fit or Yaris now, including rebates but not including dealer discounts. Discounts are hard to come by on Fits, but not on Accents. So the purchase price difference is probably more than $2000. On costlier models like the Sonata the difference can easily be over $5000.

Replying to: jrtny04 (Jun 15, 2006 9:18 am) Here's an example: Accent SE MT, MSRP $14,495 including destination. Fit Sport MT, $15,720 including destination (so it's actually more like $1225 difference). There's a $1000 rebate on the '06 Accent now. We may have to wait a few weeks for rebates on the brand-new '07s to appear.

well it seems hyundais msrp is not getting people to rush the local dealership to purchase a new accent, does hyundai thing they will be enticing consumers with a sub par mpg rating. Replies to this message: backy (Jun 15, 2006 2:01 pm)

Replying to: jrtny04 (Jun 15, 2006 1:41 pm) I'd call it more like "par", i.e. middle of the pack. Just not an eagle. Not as good as Fit or Versa, but as good or better than the rest in the class. And not that far off the Fit/Versa.

Replying to: germancarfan1 (Jun 14, 2006 8:07 pm) Germancarfan1,   Do you really have to resort to attacking people, like backy, who I think is relatively objective and reasonable? If you think Hyundai sucks that bad, why do you waste your time on this board? I've owned VW and it is the most pathetic german engineering I've ever encountered. It leaked engine and transmission oil and the gas gauge indicated more gas than was in the tank. The car stalled in the freeway more times than I can even remember. Just because it's engineered in deutchland doesn't make it the greatest car.   My Elantra, however has been nothing but reliable. Never had to take it to the shop. Got into two accidents and paint didn't chip. No rust stains. Great gas mileage in gentle driving. It is an exceptional practical car that happens to be smooth and fun to drive. Nothing broke off yet and everything feels solid. Even the door handles feel like it's made of good quality metal unlike my previous civic (plastic). Hyundai's of today and of ten years ago are drastically different. So why don't you go check them out before you start ridicueling backy.   BTW. I checked out the low trim Accent Hatch and it was gorgeous. It was black on black GL or G-something (I believe) and it was already sold on the day that it arrived. Unfortunately, there were tons of Accent sedans but it was the only Accent hatch and it sold on the first day. Beautiful car. I'd take that over the Yaris or Fit any day. Perhaps no the sedan, but the hatches are nice indeed. Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Jun 16, 2006 7:37 am) germancarfan1 (Jun 16, 2006 12:22 pm)
#403 of 598 Local dealership has 3 hatchbacks by meatycheesyboy Jun 15, 2006 (9:11 pm)
I just got back from my local dealership (Everett WA) and they had 3 Accent GS hatchbacks. All automatics, all $13,415. One dark blue, one black and one silver.   Last week they had one dark blue manual for $10,990 that I was really tempted to snap up but I just got new back brakes and 60,000 mile service on my '02 Accent. If it weren't for the maintenance I just got and the fact that I want to see and drive an SE, I would've bought it.

Replying to: kingsalmon (Jun 15, 2006 3:09 pm) The title of this discussion isn't "Hyundai Fan Club," and you don't need the secret decoder ring to participate. All points of view are welcome - if it turns into off-topic rants or it's apparant that a member just bashing for laughs, then it's a different story. But negative opinions are fine. Let's stay away from ANY personal comments, and remember, a host is just an e-mail away (from insanity?). Replies to this message: germancarfan1 (Jun 16, 2006 12:22 pm)

#406 of 598 Very Puzzled...Please Help by craig10x Jun 17, 2006 (11:03 am)
Hi: My first posting on the forums...Here's the situation..my dad is interested in buying the 2006 Hyundai GLS 4 Door Sedan...Last week, he went into his local dealership in Deerfield Beach, Fla and was very suprised to see absolutely no vehicles of this model in stock, whatsoever...All he had in stock was 1 2007 2 door Accent.   He told my dad that because the vehicle was overpriced by Hyundai, as is selling poorly, they will not be stocking it until the 2007 4 door models come out, which, according to him, will be priced lower....   Huh??? Is the car salesman in his dealership completely wacky or is this true???
