We bought two same Azera cars with ultimate package. I negotiated with many Chicago land dealers and this is how I rate them (1 is the best and 5 is worst)
 
1) Howard Hyundai [not easy to get a good price from internet but easy to work with personally to get the deal]. I bought two Azera from this dealer
 
2) Elgin Hyundai [not easy to get a good price from internet but easy to work personally to get the deal]. They don't have good inventory but can negotiate what they have on their lot. I bought three car for my brother, his wife and father.
 
So, visit no 1 and 2 only after doing your home work
 
3) Pugi Hyundai (very good in email reply and nice to work with via internet but she didn't offer the best price)
 
4) Rosen Hyundai (very good in email reply and ok to work with via internet but he does not negotiate price very well)
 
5) McGrath and Patrick Hyundai didn’t give me good price on the internet in the past, so I didn't even contacted them this time.
 
I have experience of buy 5 Hyundai in last two years (1 Elantra year 2006, 2 sonata year 2007 and two Azera year 2008). It was hard for me to find the info on internet for Hyundai cars compare to Toyota and Honda, so I thought I should share my research on the net to save other people's time.
 
Good luck on your Hyundai car purchase.

#971 of 1119 Good price for used 2007 Azera Limited? by jssh1

May 14, 2008 (8:40 am)

Someone is selling their 2007 Azera with Ultimate package which they bought late last summer (10350 miles). There is no DVD/Navigation, but it does have the Infinity stereo system. It is dark grey with black leather interior. They are asking $18,700. I know that Carmax has offered them $17,500. It looks like it is in very good condition. With the 2009 Azera and Genesis coming out, I thought perhaps the 2008 Azera would go down in price later this year. Should I wait or what should I offer for this car? They are leaving the country next Tuesday but want to sell the car by today.
 
Also, do I need to pay the excise tax on a used vehicle from a private party? I live in Maryland. Thanks!

#972 of 1119 $17,700.00 by sandman46

Why not start at this price and work up till y'all reach the target price that you have in mind. To offer what Carmax offrers might just make it easier for them to go there and get 'er done. But by offering more than Carmax, the more likely hood that you will snag the car . You're in a good position though, you like the car but they must get it sold. By offering a bit more makes it a win/win for both sides.
Nice car in a great color with low miles...who could ask for more!

#973 of 1119 RT Hyundai - Leominster MA by bostonsully

We just bought a 2008 GLS Azara with the premium package - leather, sunroof, + bluetooth - pearl color - very nice looking car - I have bought a few Hyundai's at Rt 2 and they are a great dealership - We got a great deal on this one - under 24K - MSRP was 28+K - not sure of the exact number - it is in the car. They may have had incentives, but who cares if they pass it on to the buyer.
 
We are very impressed with the ride and audio system - it is the base system but very nice - drove down to Circuit city to change out the speakers as I always do- by the time I got there I ws not in a hurry to change them. I will wait on this swap.

#974 of 1119 Read this before you buy Hyndai!!! by frank_1

I was in the market for a Hyundai because of the quality and price (and these boards). However, I will no longer buy because I just discovered how ignorant I have been.
In this weeks WSJ, there are two articles about how South Korea is anti-American with our products and our people! They are currently protesting the opening up of trade with US beef sellers. Lies are being spread that we will ship the Koreans mad cow disease meat, since "Americans will not even eat their own meat!". The article states that in fact the US consumes 96% of its own meat. However, large populations of Koreans are protesting.
Then, another article mentions how the the Korean government has sheltered Hyundai and Samsung from outside competition (American cars are not allowed to be sold in Korea!), and that Blackberry just struck a deal to come in. Of course, the Koreans are up in arms about this too.
This i snot free-trade. How can American companies compete in a pseudo free-trade environment when Hyundai doe snot have to compete in its own back yard? All that saved money is used for other purposes that gives it an unfair advantage in the market place.
I have children, and I want them to have a future in this country. Therefore, my money will not go to Korea and stimulate more hate and economic destruction for Americans. (Hyundai North Americafired all the American senior managers and replaced them with Koreans, how blatant is that?!?!)
I will buy any other brand but Hyundai or Kia.
And before someone mentions that some Hyundai's are built in the US, that means very little in today's world. Manufacturing is not a profit center. For example, Ipods are built in China, but Apple in California (HQ) where the innovation and design took place, is collecting the billions of dollars and not China. Same is true for Hyundai.
I hope you will check my facts if you are not convinced.

As a Korean living in America, I cannot but point out how superficial your points are. Check my comments below....
In this weeks WSJ, there are two articles about how South Korea is anti-American with our products and our people! They are currently protesting the opening up of trade with US beef sellers. Lies are being spread that we will ship the Koreans mad cow disease meat, since "Americans will not even eat their own meat!". The article states that in fact the US consumes 96% of its own meat.

=> Some of you guys have tendency to drive things in one direction like "those guys are anti-American" when someone complains about things. The reality is this. Currently, American people are not eating beef that is from cows that are more than 20 months old as they are more prone to mad cow disease. Also, you are not consuming parts that are susceptible to mad cow disease. The stupid Korean president, however, quickly agreed to import beef regardless of age and of susceptibility of mad cow disease. Are Korean people angry? Yes. They are angry at their president and current administration because they don't seem to care about wellness of their own people. What do they want? They want to consume exactly the same beef as you (American citizens) are eating. I do not see any anti-American feeling in here.
  
Then, another article mentions how the the Korean government has sheltered Hyundai and Samsung from outside competition (American cars are not allowed to be sold in Korea!), and that Blackberry just struck a deal to come in. Of course, the Koreans are up in arms about this too.
=> You are utterly ignorant. American cars have been sold in Korea more than 15 years. The import of American cars were allowed at the same time as those from other countries. But, the sale of American cars has always been slow while those of German and Japanese cars continued to grow. Do you know what Korean government did to make people buy more American cars? Korean government purchased about 100 Taurus to use highway patrol cars, which was about 8~9 years ago, to urge people to buy American cars and to avoid trade conflict. Do you know any country (among those that make their own cars) that use foreign cars as police cruiser?
Also, Blackberry? Give me a break! As for cell phones and electronic stuff, Korean companies are really competitive. Nokia withdrew from Korean market several years ago. And, market share of Sony-Ericsson and Motorola are really really low not because Korean government is giving disadvantage to these companies but Korean people do not buy them. Lots of foreign companies withdrew or changed their way of doing business (e.g., Philips is no longer selling TVs in Korea. Instead, they are concentrating on coffee machine and shaver. I think they are smart). Maybe, it took Blackberry a while to analyze their marketeability in Korea.
 
If Korean government is doing so unfair business, do you think American government would keep quiet about it? Do you know what FTA is? This free trade deal was agreed between Korean and American government, but, unfortunately, it is being delayed because American senate and Korean national assembly have not approved it.

Nice post. Very informative. World trade is just that. WORLD TRADE. International companies are just that. International companies. There is a web of manufacturing facilities that circle the globe. You really have to search to find a manufactured item or food product that 100% domestic. Everyone is a winner because of free trade.
