#1057 of 1084 OOOPs ...Maybe I didn't get such a great deal? by ladylindak Mar 10, 2009 (4:22 am)
I had no intention of buying a new car 9 months ago (July). I took my wonderful cherry red 1999 Hyundai Tiburon in for service ....... and saw the 2008 Azera. Needless to say - a salesman made a bee-line to me - and I stated - forget it - I just dropped my Tib off for service - NOT looking for a new car! When I went back to pick up my Tib - I had some wait time ...... and started admiring the Azera again. Same bee-line - same salesman .... again I said NO WAY. Long story short - I ended up going back to just check out the numbers. Keep in mind - I loved my Tib - so I didn't have to have a car and they knew it (they wanted it as a trade in - in the worst way - it looks brand new). Anyway - I live in northern VA - close to Washington, DC and everything is higher here. The car is a 2008 Limited with the Navigator package. It is gold (a 2009 color) with beige leather seats. It came with the floor mats, and a trunk cargo container. It has a sun roof and all the bells and whistles. The only thing it did not come with was blue tooth - and I didn't care about that.   The list price was about 32,000.00. We negotiated and this is what we got:   The wheels traded UP - to BEAUTIFUL chrome wheels. Lifetime replacement tires (only from wear - not from damage) First oil change and first inspection free 2 Hyundai sports shirts (the kind the salesman wear) since they wouldn't give us the ones off their backs (lol).   Price WITH Title, Taxes and Tags - and all other Fees = $28,000.00   I love the car ...... and this was 9 months ago - but perhaps I should have waited until the 2009 came out..... OH WELL .... like I said ..... love the car! AND I STILL HAVE MY BELOVED TIBURON....

#1059 of 1084 Best deal I could get by SilverBullet00 Mar 11, 2009 (7:48 am)
Two weeks ago I purchased a used 2008 Azera w/5100 miles (rental) black inside and out, limited with everything but nav for $20.6K. Got my own financing based on a new car rate from Cap One. Done alot of on-line research and thought this was the best deal I could get. Overall I'm very pleased with the car, the ride and the gas mileage. Also, I put on four OEM mud guards that cost me $51.43 from Delray Hyundai. Replies to this message: tonycd (Mar 11, 2009 7:34 pm)

#1061 of 1084 END OF THE AZERA? by mvls1 Mar 12, 2009 (3:34 pm)
I visited my local dealer today to check out the 2009 Azera compared to 2007/2008. Surprisingly I was told that 2009 would be the last year for the Azera. When I asked them what their source was for this information they said that their regional representative had confirmed it. Can anyone confirm that this is true?   I am currently considering purchasing an Azera and am wondering how discontinueing production will effect owners of this model. Since it was only introduced in 2006 that would mean only 4 model years of production would exist. Questions that come to mind are,   1. Will after market product/parts continue to be available and if so, for how long?   2. Would any additional parts ie: improved shocks/springs ever become available?   3. How would the resale market hold up?   Anyone else have thoughts on this situation? I actually thought that this deserved to be a new topic if true, but I couldn't find a way to start a new topic. Is it even possible for us members to do?

Replying to: mvls1 (Mar 12, 2009 3:34 pm) "I was told that 2009 would be the last year for the Azera."   Miserable sales for a great vehicle. C/Y '08 monthly sales average was 1,205 units. '09 ytd monthly average is slightly over 300 and is the slowest seller in the lineup.   Genesis sedan is now averaging around 1,200 + monthly units. Simple redistribution.   Azera was the logical larger sedan upgrade over Sonata in terms of Hyundai consumer loyalty. (as Avalon is over Camry) Upgrading from Sonata to Genesis is huge.

Replying to: mvls1 (Mar 12, 2009 3:34 pm) Could it be that 09 is the last year for THIS body style? If you notice, Hyundai refreshes body styles every 4-5 years. And save for minor modifications, Azera's body style hasn't changed since 2006 & it is time for a refresh.   I don't think Hyundai would get rid of FWD entry luxo like Azera. The difference between top end Sonata & Genesis is way too large. And, RWDs like Genesis don't fare well in areas with snowfall where FWD is king.   Also, Hyundai wants to EXPAND product range, not shrink it. Methinks we would get a refreshed Azzy in 2010 & 2009 is the last of the current generation. Remember, Hyundai has always had a FWD above Sonata as XG350 was for the previous generation Sonata. I seriously doubt that Hyundai would get rid of a product for this segment. Replies to this message: SilverBullet00 (Mar 13, 2009 3:01 pm) dborth (Mar 13, 2009 4:51 pm)

Replying to: wobbly_ears (Mar 13, 2009 7:29 am) I own a 2000 Chrysler 300M that was only made from 1999 to 2004 and parts and service is available at any 5 star dealer, Rockauto and EBAY. I wont have a problem if they discontinue the Azera, at least my 2008 Azera will stand out among the crowds of Altimas, Maxes, Camrys, Hondas and Avalons that are all over the place. I hate to get rid of my "M" but I don't need two cars, personally I think the 1999-2004 M,s look alot better than the 2005-2009 models. Replies to this message: dborth (Mar 13, 2009 4:51 pm)

Replying to: SilverBullet00 (Mar 13, 2009 3:01 pm) I too had a '00 "M". Traded it for my '07 Azera. Worlds apart but love them both.

Replying to: mvls1 (Mar 12, 2009 3:34 pm) First I've heard of this. The 2009 KDM Grandeur, which would be the 2010 US Azera, got an upgraded 3.3L V-6 and a new 6-speed transmission. The next Kia Amanti is rumored to be based on this platform. There will definitely be a new KDM car for 2010, which would be our 2011 if we get one. I'm wondering if this just isn't pressure for you to buy. Rumor has it the Avalon will be replaced by a stretched Camry, so Hyundai would be smart to keep the Azera. I'd ask a few other dealers.
