Replying to: sandman46 (May 14, 2008 9:08 am) My husband wanted to offer $17,600 since he thought they would take anything over what CarMax would offer. I disagreed as selling to me is more of a hassle - needed to check up on title, lien release-all that good stuff and since they are leaving the country next week - I don't think they wanted to be really bothered (they are selling their 2003 Corolla to CarMax with 45K miles for $5,500. So I offered $18,200 and they accepted. I have never bought a used car before - this is only my second car in 14 years - I bought a 1994 Camry new which now has almost 200,000 miles - so I hope this car will serve me well for the long haul. I am still working out the payment/insurance and I hope I can take possesion of it later today or tomorrow. By the way, in response to frank_1, I asked these sellers, who happen to be Korean, if American cars are sold in Korea. He thought I was crazy to ask such a question and said of course. Knowing a lot of Korean-americans, they really like their BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes. thanks!

Still don't understand why you offered so much for the car. I'm with your husband on this...$17.7k up to $17.9k would've been all the money. That Corolla was a steal for Carmax...they gave the car away. The Sandman

Replying to: frank_1 (May 15, 2008 1:05 pm) Have you ever been to Asia? If you had been, you would have observed that most of the Asians prefer small cars like Suzuki Swift, Hyundai Getz/Santro, Tata Indica, Tata Nano etc The reason is that gas is very very very expensive there ($10-12 per gallon). These small cars sip fuel gingerly, are easy to park & maneuver. Ford & GM have been in India for close to 15-20 years but are far far behind when compared to Hyundai, Suzuki etc in India. It is the same case in many other Asian countries. WHy? It is because, till today GM & Ford don't have a small car platform to produce small cars the market demands. Instead, they want to produce big land yachts & expect people to buy them. As a business principle, you produce what the market demands, not what you demand the market to absorb. The key to succeed in Asia? SMALL FUEL SIPPING CARS!!!! And another thing.... GM bought the ailing Daewoo in Korea. Now, last year GM-Daewoo became the LARGEST selling car maker in Korea, surpassing Hyundai/Kia! |

Sticker price at dealer in buffalo, NY area 19480 for a used 07 azera limited 3.8 L engine with 12000 miles and rental car past. Is 17500 before taxes a resonable offer? . Also a 07 azera limited base for 19880 with 7500 miles. Im thinking around 17850 before taxes. thanks for any input anyone has.

I can buy a 2007 Azera with 15,887 miles on it (a Limited Edition) for $16,900 from a dealer. It is a one owner free carfax car, with a clean history. I passed because everyone I personally know (and trust) that has a Hyundai (three Sonatas and one Azera) has suspension noise problems, all described as a hollow feeling, with clanking and/or thunking sounds, while transversing rough pavement. Nothing bothers me more than squeaks, rattles or suspension noise. It's the one thing that more than anything else drains confidence in a product and sucks any notion of quality out of a vehicle's perception, no matter what else can be said about a vehicle. |

By the way, I checked Consumer Reports, and every model year of the Azera is recommended with a 'better than average reliability' rating.
