Just purchased Azera Limited with Ultimate 25 package at West Broad Hyundai in Richmond VA. Excellent buying experience with all staff. Price, service and promises all fulfilled. Clyde Farris, Sales Consultant, was very professional and courteous in guiding me through the transaction and negotiating very fair pricing.

Does anyone know if Hyundai is offering any sort of financing in addition to or instead of the rebates? My wife likes the MKZ which is now priced well with 0% financing. I prefer the Azera but current financing rates kill the deal. I am hoping Hyundai offers a submarket rate....

Replying to: setamp (Jul 18, 2007 4:41 am) There are no special financing offers on the Azera however I wouldn't let that stop you from getting it. I did a lot of research and I looked at, test drove and compared the MKZ (among many others) to the Azera and there is no comparison. (and what is with that optional Nickel Trim... yuk) The MKZ is merely a Ford Fusion with a Lincoln emblem. IMO it is square, boxey and cheaply appointed. The only real advantage may be the Navigation system. To even get the MKZ equipped near an Azera it would MSRP at $35K+ and that is without many of the extra features of the Azera like the folding outside mirrors, rear window power screen, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, not as many air bags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Checking Edmunds TCO the Azera has a lower depreciation cost rating than the MKZ. Before TTL best deal on a loaded MKZ would be about $33K (without $1000 rebate) compared to the Azera at $26K (with $1000 rebate). If you got 8% financing on the Azera (which I am sure that if you qualify for the 0% from FMC the dealer could get you a great rate) the total interest over 5 years would be about $6K. The Azera at $26K + $6K finance charge equals $32K versus $33K for the MKZ. Things I would do: 1) Test Drive the MKZ and the Azera, even ask the dealer if you can borrow one over night or for a few hours (I got an Azera for a 4 hour test drive). 2) Tell the Hyundai Dealer that you want the best finance rate as you are thinking about the 0% from FMC. 3) Buy the Azera! And just to add... I was born and raised in Detroit, lived there for 45 years and would never have considered anything other than GM or Ford. In fact my wife and I will be there this weekend and staying at a hotel in the heart of FORD Headquarters (Dearborn)... and I'm going to be pulling up in an Azera and PROUD of it. A wise man once said, "If you can find a better car... Buy It!" so I did. Just my 2 cents... Pastor Shaun

Replying to: pegasus17 (Jul 18, 2007 9:45 am) Black on Gray - Option Pack 25 MSRP: $31,190 $26,831 (including $1500 in rebates) + TTL Where are you located and what are you looking for? Pastor Shaun |

One more question. I have been searching the net for all comparisons of the mkz and azera so I can sell my wife on the az. In one discussion, however, someone claimed the black seats are different from the others. According to this guy the black seats have less padding. This doesn't sound right to me. He claims he bought a car with black seats and ended up trading for beigh because the seats were better padded in beige.

Replying to: setamp (Jul 18, 2007 11:59 am) You can go to the Hyundai site or even here at Edmunds and do a side by side comparison of the Azera and MKZ. If your wife is not the same height as you, she'll really enjoy the adjustable foot pedals and power tilt/telescopic steering wheel. Both of which are controlled by the memory buttons. The other really big thing is the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) which is not offered on the MKZ or other Fords/Lincolns with FWD. If you (or your wife) drive in snow or rain ESC is a HUGE advantage. It is a yaw sensing system developed by Benz to aid in FWD stability. Of course you could go with the AWD version which increases the MSRP and lowers the fuel economy. If all things were identical between the Azera and MKZ except for the ESC I'd still have gone with the Azera just because of that feature. With Electronic Stability Control and Second Row Side Airbag as standard features on the Azera what price do you put on Safety? Pastor Shaun |

Replying to: rance2 (Jul 18, 2007 3:38 am) rance2 - Congratulations from a fellow Richmonder. Now there are two of us riding around Richmond in an Azera. I told you it would be worthwhile talking to them. Give me the details. what color? What type interior? I'll keep an eye out for you on the road. What part of town do you live? My Azera is an 06 Limited Ultimate , pearl white exterior, beige interior, logoless front grill, 07 turn signal mirrors, shark fin at rear of roof, mud flaps and window sheilds over the 4 side windows. Biggest identifier - my licence plate is Z-REDSOX. If you see me, honk & let me know who you are. Hope to see you around town. |

Replying to: scapla (Mar 04, 2006 5:18 pm)  limited w/ premium package but what's odd is I got the rear sunshade and surround sound but no tilt steering wheel and pedels and from what i've read no one had the fold in mirrors so I think I did good. P.S. I did get the carpeted mats, sun roof, and cargo net thingy in the price. It was not listed separately in the breakdown so oh well. |
