Last week I finally made my purchase of an Azera with Ultimate package. Thanks to all the info from everyone I finally was able to make a good deal here in NC. I called the Great Lake Hyundai dealer in Ohio like I had seen in other posting and they truly were the best price by far. Their price was $1,137 below my best local price of($27,530) There offer was $26,393 before tax and local rebate. I was prepared to fly to Ohio and drive the car home for this price. I called my local dealer in Winston Salem NC, and told them I was prepared to purchase from an Ohio dealer unless they could match the price of $26.393 before a $500 rebate. They agreed to match the price of $26,393. When I went to close the deal they refused to honor the $500.00 rebate telling me their price was $26,893 less $500 rebate = $26,393. I argued till I was tired of arguing that they should provide the $500 rebate and the final price should be $25,893 with rebate. I left the dealership mad and did not purchase. The next day I decided to go ahead with the deal as I was sick and tired of arguing over $500, as it would have cost me $350 to $400 to go fly to Ohio to purchase the car and drive back to NC. To be honest I was happy with the deal and wanted to put this ordeal behind me. I now have 380 miles on the Azera and really love the ride. The Pearl white with Tan is a beautiful combination. |

I really appreciate Edmunds effort and visit the site regularly before making a new car purchase. I find that the forum is the most useful tool for me as it has real life experiences with the auto and pricing. Frankly the TMV pricing has never reflected reality for me and I have always been able to do much better. Maybe it would be a better and more accurate tool if the TMV price was fluid as is the real price one experiences in the marketplace. Thank you Edmunds for a vey useful site overall.

after 2 months of research and investigation, i thought i would have to go to great lakes hyundai in streetsboro, oh to purchase my new azera. although i live in florida, my daugher and family live in western pa and we are going there next month anyway, so it wouldn't be a great stretch to go there. however, after visiting hyundai of new port richey (near tampa) i made my purchase there. their internet sales group is outstanding, providing fast personal service and the most competitive pricing i found. and fyi, i visited 7 different hyundai dealers in 3 states in my decision making process. my golden beige azera limited with ultimate package plus wind deflector, at $24,850 was $876 less than streetsboro's ebay offering. my trade was $600 more than any other dealer offered me and what i considered a very fair offer. after sales tax, doc fees, etc, i am out the door at $27112. definitely recommend everyone contact hyundai of new port richey before making a final decision, especially if it involves travel to pick up your car. you may find your savings will pay for the trip and a dinner out.

Replying to: aspen4 (Jun 05, 2006 10:04 pm) I think you did get a good deal. What the other person didn't realize is that he was comparing a Premium package (the eBay car) with an Ultimate Package (your car). The Ultimate Package is more expensive. I just bought a Black Azera Limited with the Ultimate Package (package 4) with Beige Leather seats. I got several quotes from dealers via the internet ranging from $25,945 - $27,500. My final decision came down to color, availability and convenience. I don't think the dealer that quoted me the lower quote price had the car and I would have had to wait 2-3 days. I didn't have the time to wait. I think if I would have waited, I might have gotten a car for around $25,850, but I think that is about the floor............ My deal (I'm in Southern California) $26,200 + TTL I was $28,700 out the door. I did a very hard comparison between the Azera Ltd Ultimate with various trims on the Toyota Avalon. In the end, my gut still says that the Avalon is the better car (overall smoother ride (although the backseat of the Azera is comparably as smooth as the Avalon), no hesitation at all on acceleration, Toyota brand is stronger and will probably hold its value better). BUT, in spite of that, I couldn't bring myself to spend the extra $4-$5k to get the Azera Equivalent. Azera is packed with great features at a great price. I don't need Navigation System so that made the comparison even easier. Also, the Toyota warranty was substantially less than the Hyundai warranty...and, the Toyota dealerships simply don't deal with you as much. They only discount their demo cars. They also didn't offer me any aggressive financing...which makes me feel like Toyota is saying, "Take it or leave it. We don't need you." I ended up asking myself, is a 12-15% smoother ride worth $4 - $5k? My answer was no. Besides, my wife is short and the adjustable pedals in the Azera sealed the deal for her. I fell in love with the Avalon's reclining rear seats...but I ended up ignoring this feature since I remembered that my backseat will have 2 car seats. The Azera is a beautiful car. I'm very impressed. Can't wait to tint the windows. So far, there are only two big annoyances (and I knew about them before I bought the car): 1. No ability to change radio stations on steering wheel. 2. The trunk lock/unlock configuration is really annoying. (There is a trunk release button the drivers side. But, it only works when the lock is "off" in the glove compartment. Well, when the lock is "off" the trunk remains unlocked and anyone can walk up to the trunk and open it without a key. So, you have to remember to "lock on" the trunk via the glove compartment everytime. Its actually really, really annoying for a family with strollers, gear and stuff.) But, it wasn't annoying enough to change my mind. Little wind noise at high speeds, but around town this car is very quiet in the cabin. I'll post more on the car in a few days/weeks. I've only had it two days.
