Well, after reading many posts on this site for the past six months, I finally pulled the trigger. I just took delivery of my new '07 Limited w/Ultimate 25 package. I took the advice of many of you that suggested that I deal through the internet sales manager and I believe that I worked the system well. The MSRP was $31,190 and I paid $24,877 after rebates ($1000 regular and $1000 loyalty) as we have another Hyundai in the family garage. On top of the $24,877 was a document fee of $58, an electronic tag and title fee of $168 and $1752 sales tax for an out the door price of $26,856. I ended up buying from Patrick Dranias at Gartner Hyundai in Aurora,IL (Chicagoland) who pledged to match any other written offer and he was certainly true to his words. I utilized the Hyundai corporate site at Hyundaiusa.com and after configuring the vehicle, then requested quotes from five area dealers, which took all of twenty minutes in total. Gregory was the cheapest and Darcy was the highest by over $700 while Patrick, Ettleson and Gartner were $200 over Gregory which Gartner offered to match. With Gartner being the closest to my house and having had good experience with their service department in the past, this was a no brainer. The car was prepared properly when I picked it up with the lock/unlock and immobilizer code set as per my request. Now the fun begins driving it! I hope this helps someone else as much as the other posts have helped me. Regards, Stcroixboy |

Getting ready to order our new Azera but have only driven a bare-bones SE. My only upgrades that I can't live without are leather, sunroof & a better sound system. For those that have compared both sound systems, is the 600+ watts w/ Surround $600 better than the 300 watter? I love my tunes but not sure if I would even utilize that much wattage since I'm not into earth shattering gangsta rap, lol  Living in a small town we don't get many Azeras locally to compare. The dealer currently only has 2 SEs on the lot w/ the base system. I guess the main question I have is for an average Joe, will the 315 watt Infinity provide a quality and powerful system? Also, for those that have done all the shopping for availability, is it even possible to find Limiteds w/ just the pack 24 or 4? All the posts I've been reading seem to suggest that I'm only going to find a "strip" Limited or one w/ Pack 25. Thanks for your help BTW, Just love the Azera, I thought I would and it would be hard to convince my wife~NOT~my wife was sold before we even turned the key

Isn't it a good feeling to know you got a great car, good price, you like the way you were treated, and the dealer did what you expected and requested? I'll bet the smile is still on your face. Good luck with your ride.

Our old 94 Sedan deVille my daughter's been driving is on it's last legs. Started over the weekend thinking about getting me a new car and giving her my old Lumina with the sport package that she's been coveting for a few years. Anyways, discovered the Azera on here and Consumer Reports and am seriously considering getting it instead of a Camry or 2nd Avalon. Since that time, I have been checking here and on the net to get a feel for prices and saw the $1000 cash incentive that expired on 7/31. So far this morning, I haven't seen a replacement incentive. Does anyone know when new incentives are announced? Don't have a handle on how Hyundai does things, but is a $2000 incentive or very low APR reasonably likely? Also, on a slightly off topic matter, I'm a little concerned about the lack of dealers here in New Orleans. There is only one, a branch of a large local dealership with a lot of lines. It's a poor relation; the Hyundai facilities are not too impressive. They don't even have a Limited in stock. I've been spending about half my time in Houston since Katrina, so it's no problem buying there from one of the 5 dealers within 20 miles, but I'm worried about emergency warranty work that might need to be done here. A friend got screwed when he bought a new Isuzu and the local dealer closed. He had to drive all the way to Baton Rouge for warranty work, about 90 miles. How is Hyundai doing? Is there any kind of warranty commitment or law that would required them to keep a dealership here? Thanks.
