Also, loaded Mazda6s, Accords, Camrys, and Altimas list for well over $30k. So what is the problem with a loaded Sonata listing for, today, into the upper $20s, and maybe with the next generation, with improvements and a hybrid option, breaking $30k list? That is the going list price for a loaded mid-sized car these days.

Replying to: backy (Sep 11, 2009 9:41 am) What is the average price of car in 2009? The average price is $27,958, up 6 percent from last year. I got an '09 Ltd with nav for $21699. I still think Hyundais are the best deals around.

Replying to: dovid2 (Sep 11, 2009 11:00 am) Fitzmall, a no haggle dealer, was selling Sonata GLSs w/automatic transmissions for $14,1xx all day long back in March. I know. I called. I saw their inventory online. Manuals could be had for less. Once Cash for Clunkers was announced, prices on those same exact cars went up $1,900, and they've gone higher now, as much of the inventory left is more optioned out. I still believe prices will fall again, as Manufacturers must keep producing, will pressure dealers to restock inventory, and because of a terrible economy, the cycle of rebates and incentive cash will be needed more than ever to move metal, even if I grant the assumption that fewer units will be produced (which I'm not so sure of). If Manufacturers don't manufacture, they don't have a chance to protect their market share, and that puts their long term margins at risk.

Replying to: mikemartin (Sep 11, 2009 3:51 pm) So it looks like we are in agreement, except on the low-end pricing for Sonatas. Maybe there's some sales reports here that go back to 2007 that support your prices of $12.5k at the low end and $15k for a loaded car? Edit: Turns out there aren't. Reports from the August-to-October 2007 timeframe show real-world prices considerably more than $12.5-13K for GLSes and $15-16k for fully loaded Sonatas. One reason could be the rebates were less then, only $1000 general rebate in most states on the 2008s (2007s were nearly gone by then).

Replying to: backy (Sep 11, 2009 4:17 pm) I apologize for the confusion. |

| Hi folks, I just got the 1st round quotes back via email. Seems like the lowest OTD for a base gls model so far is around 18.2k minus trade-in value of my current 2000 sonata, all rebates included. I'm in Houston, TX. There's no 09 model left in my area. Is this a good deal? I'm still hesitating between Jetta and Sonata though. Any comments are welcome. Thx! | |

Replying to: rossoneri (Sep 16, 2009 5:43 am) Right now, there is no press to put rebates on the '10 because it's the brand new model year, just out. In two months (or even late next month) there will start to be pressure to move units again; the auto industry is like a large snake that way, they've just gorged, now they aren't hungry. Sometime between mid-late October and the Christmas time frame, rebates will shoot back up, as the pressure to move units increases. If your 2000 is still in decent enough shape to make that, then by all means, wait until Christmas.... you'll have enough to pay for the presents in your savings.
