So I called around and got the area Hyundai dealers bidding against each other. I made a deal for an '05 Tuscon XL 4WD with sunroof in the color I wanted (silver/grey) for an OTD price of $23,400. This is $1,000 better than my local dealer (where I test drove the vehicle) was able to do. They had to buy the car from another dealer (one which I did not call) and are driving it to their dealership tonight. I pick it up tomorrow. I am very happy with the price and hopefully the car as well. The dealer I am buying from is about 50 miles away.  One of the big differences in the deals was that my local dealer refused to drop the advertising fee. His loss.

Replying to: raythegerman (Jun 17, 2005 7:10 am) I'm actually relocating down to Louisville so I decided not to look at the 4WD models. I know this isn't exactly related to the thread, BUT the current Erie County fiasco and the lack of jobs caused me to look elsewhere for work and I signed a contract before I had even graduated with my Master's degree! I know that wouldn't have happened in WNY! Back to the topic...I test drove a Matrix this past week just to see what Toyota had to offer for the crossover segment. I absolutely hated it! It had zero pick-up and seemed to be cheaply made...I wasn't impressed. I also looked at the RAV4 and by the time I add all of the features I would want, I would be looking at close to $27,000...no thanks. I've eliminated most everything else...I did like the Escape rental that I had this past week when my car was in for servicing, BUT after seeing a report on CNN about faulty speed sensor switches and subsequent engine fires (and house fires if parked in an attached garage), I think I'll pursue something else. So, needless to say, the Tucson is definitely on the "short list" and the list is getting shorter with each test drive. I'll keep you posted! |

Sorry to see you leave Erie County but I can't blame you...My step-son graduated from UB a few years back and just couldn't find a suitable job here....He finally left and moved to Lancaster, PA and works for the federal government....The whole situation here in Erie County just disgusts me...Watch the 1% tax go through along with a huge property tax. My wife had a RAV4 for four years under a lease and it was a great car---no problems for the four years she had it....However, as you say, a loaded RAV is going to cost around $27,000......We obtained the GLS Tucson after all the discounts for less than $21,000....and it has a much better ride than the RAV! I just hope it holds up as well as the RAV over the long term. I also see in the paper today that Fuccillo on Grand Island is going to open a Hyundai dealership there around November---maybe you can get a better deal with them, if you're still here at that time....Good luck in Louisville---maybe a race horse would be better than an SUV????

Replying to: raythegerman (Jun 18, 2005 10:01 am) As far a Fuccillo, I started off there looking at the Matrix and I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I was approached before I even got out of the car, which compared to the dealerships that completely ignore you, was a pleasant surprise. However, we got into a debate about the amount of time the cars have sat on the lot...I got the usual "these cars just came in" and I responded by saying that they looked like the same exact three cars that were there about a month ago...I remember colors and options and these were definitely the same cars! Also, the salesman was limited in his knowledge about Toyotas and told me that the car he just showed me had a sunroof...which it didn't. After he noticed his screw-up, he fell all over himself trying to correct it. (A gaping hole in the roof, or lack thereof, is a hard thing to miss) I can only imagine what the final contract would look like if he came in contact with it! To make a long story short, that's how I ended up at West Herr. I looked at the Tucson again today...I really like the drive of the car...very quiet and responsive. I, like you, wonder about the long-term reliability, BUT with a 5/50,000 bumper to bumper warranty, I guess you can't beat it! I'm still on the fence, but I am leaning towards a new Tucson. As far as the race horse...if I place my bets right next May at the Derby, I might be facing a very early retirement...wouldn't that be a shame?! |

The TMV pricing given by Edmunds for a Tucson LX 4WD is about $22,000. My question is will this TMV price included all the other additions like license, taxes, plate, etc? If it doesn't include the additional costs how much approximately should I budget for this extra cost? Thank

Since both are owned by Hyundai, can anyone tell me the basic differences between the two? Considering a 4wd SUV for my wife, who works with a catering company. Haven't driven either yet. Also considering a Santa Fe, but I'm not sure about around-town mileage. After our '98 Mercury Sable died (Sheesh, how come foreign auto manufacturers can open U.S. plants and produce quality vehicles while Detroit churns out more of the same crud?) we DID test drive the '06 Sonata in both 4- and 6-cylinders, and they were GREAT.

| Just bought a Tucson GLS and found basically the same deal at two dealerships, King and Rick Case......both mark up the sticker price about $1500. with phantom services which mean nothing.....if you deduct them and about another $1000. you should come close. The Santa Fe is a better and cheaper buy with the 3500. rebate, but is somewhat underpowered. I understand they are going to offer a new Santa Fe which is bigger and more powerful, made in the new plant in Alabama for 2006. The Tucson was compared with the Subaru Forester, RAV 4, VUE, Honda CRV.....found it to be the best ride and warranty. | |
