Replying to: pastors (Jun 25, 2007 7:10 am) Well after getting the run-around from just about every dealership in Chicago (and almost buying a Maxima out of frustration) I am finally picking up my Azera today. Seems salespeople do not know their cars or inventory. They kept telling me that they had Azeras' with the Ultimate Package and when asked if it was the Option Package 25* they would say yes, come on in. We've got your color and it is an Ultimate. Gartner (one of the dealers I was working with) had told me they had a Black on Beige with Option Pack 25 coming in and let's finalize the deal. Then the car was not coming in till next week, they'd give me a loaner if I did the deal today. Then I got a call the car was in, yet another deal was told the car was not in, no eta on it and it was not in the national inventory database (even though I had a VIN). Darcy Motors in Joliet got me my second choice, a Black on Gray with Option Pack 25. I am paying a little more than what I was quoted for on the Black on Beige... but you know a salesperson give you a great price on something they don't have. Here's the final deal: Black on Gray - Option Pack 25 MSRP: $31,190 $26,831 (including $1500 in rebates) + TTL $835 more than I originally was quoted from other dealers that DIDN'T have the car. I'm happy and will be driving it in a few hours. For those in Chicagoland if you want a great deal on a Hyundai, see Guy at Darcy and tell him I sent you. * The Option Pack 25 includes XM and the Infinity Logic 7 surround sound, 12 speakers, subwoofer and 605-watt amp. The older 04 Package (which is the majority of cars in inventory) does not have XM and has the 315-watt amp with 10 speakers.

Replying to: pastors (Jun 30, 2007 5:38 am) It seems lately that more of the Ultimate 25 packages are starting to arrive and I don't need to waste my time trying to educate their sales people of the difference in the Ultimate 4 and 25 packages. I too have called and gone through the same experience. I now am asking the MSRP before I go out and if it is under 31K, I then know it has the #4 Ultimate package. Thanks for sharing all of your details. I too am looking for a similar Limited w/Ultimate 25 in Chicagoland. Were you dealing with the fleet managers or floor sales personnel at Gartner and other dealers?

Replying to: stcroixboy (Jun 30, 2007 8:03 am) I love this car!!  This is the first time my wife saw the Black on Gray and she's wowed by it. I think I made a better choice than the beige interior. My Azera Am sitting here now LMAO! Picked up the car from Darcy (great deal and service) and was sitting in it programming the Homelink & XM when a gal from Gartner called me. She said she was told to call me and tell me "my car is back, whatever that means?" I told her I was sitting in my brand new Azera now. She asked how I liked it, which of course I replied with "wonderful!" Then she said if I needed anything to be sure to call them. She didn't even ask where I bought the car. I presume she thought we bought it from Gartner. What color combo are you looking for? I know just about who has what in inventory. You really have to give Guy a call at Darcy and tell him Pastor Shaun referred you. There are a couple more 25 Option cars coming in first of next week and he can get them. Of course to get the $1000 Rebate you'd have to do something today or Monday. |

Replying to: pastors (Jun 30, 2007 11:39 am) Thanks for the quick response. Isn't it a bit funny that all of a sudden Gartner found "your car" on the last day of the month? I find it amazing what the dealers will do for a sale to make their monthly quotas, etc. when they couldn't (wouldn't) do it earlier in the month. It sounds like your guy at Darcy worked well with you and I will certainly plan to give him a call and let him know that I was referred by you. I am going to gamble that Hyundai will keep the $1000 rebate in place for July and August as it has been running each month since April. My timing preference would be to buy the last week of July or early August. At this point, I am looking towards the Sage Green with Black interior. My second choice would be Silver with black interior and I (I walk the lots on Sundays so I don't have to deal with/take the time of sales folks) saw one that recently came in at Gartner, but it may be gone by the time I want to purchase. Did Darcy have the vehicle in their stock or offer to get it from another dealer? Was your original quote of 26K from Gartner? Thanks again in advance and enjoy your new ride! Stcroixboy

Replying to: stcroixboy (Jun 30, 2007 1:25 pm) All indications is that Gartner does not have the car. It does not show up in any of the systems. I'd bet they'd get me there then try to low ball me enough on something else that I would take it. You're right, they want to make their month end numbers. There are a lot of Sage Green out there mostly with the 04 package though. Not sure of interior color choices as Sage was not an option for us. Yes, Gartner has (had) a Silver with Black, MSRP $31280. It was upfront by the showroom windows. Not sure if it is still there. Darcy got the car on a dealer trade from World in Matteson. They also could have gotten me a Black on Beige the first part of next week. Here are the deals I was given: Gartner Blk on Blk - Option 25: $26460 (after $1500 rebate - They said they would give me the Blk on Beige for the same price). Family Blk on Gray - Option 04: $25393 Blk on Blk - Option 25: $25996 Darcy Blk on Gray - Option 25: $26831 Most likely I could have gotten Darcy to match Gartner's price however Darcy took good care of me, I liked Guy (he's the sales manager), I was under $27K so I was happy. O'Hare and McGrath also said they would match Gartner's price but again they had no inventory of what I wanted. That was my big decision to buy now or wait till after July 2. I'm usually a risk taker but $1000 is a $1000. I'd say keep checking dealer web site inventory as I think a boat load of 2007 Azeras' with Option 25 are in transit or on the dock. If you need a hand negotiating your price let me know, I'm pretty good at it. While I had a blank check from Capital One Auto Finance I worked my deal as 3 separate transactions. The price on the new car, then negotiated the trade-in value and then worked their finance guy to see if I could get a better rate than Capital One. I got the price on the Azera I was happy with, got what I wanted out of the trade and the Capital One rate was better. Doing your research and homework ahead of time can save you hundreds if not a couple thousand. Pastor Shaun

Replying to: pastors (Jun 30, 2007 1:57 pm) Thanks again for the detailed info. It sounds like you have done your homework and drove a great deal on the vehicle that you wanted and are happy with. By you sharing all of your dealer offerings, you have made it a lot easier for a number of us to understand what possibly may be the real bottom line and utilize it to our advantage. Many thanks again and I will be thinking of you enjoying your new Azzy while I am waiting to buy mine. I think that it will be a long month...... Stcroixboy |
