#1057 of 1119 OOOPs ...Maybe I didn't get such a great deal? by ladylindak

Mar 10, 2009 (5:22 am)

I had no intention of buying a new car 9 months ago (July). I took my wonderful cherry red 1999 Hyundai Tiburon in for service ....... and saw the 2008 Azera. Needless to say - a salesman made a bee-line to me - and I stated - forget it - I just dropped my Tib off for service - NOT looking for a new car! When I went back to pick up my Tib - I had some wait time ...... and started admiring the Azera again. Same bee-line - same salesman .... again I said NO WAY. Long story short - I ended up going back to just check out the numbers. Keep in mind - I loved my Tib - so I didn't have to have a car and they knew it (they wanted it as a trade in - in the worst way - it looks brand new). Anyway - I live in northern VA - close to Washington, DC and everything is higher here. The car is a 2008 Limited with the Navigator package. It is gold (a 2009 color) with beige leather seats. It came with the floor mats, and a trunk cargo container. It has a sun roof and all the bells and whistles. The only thing it did not come with was blue tooth - and I didn't care about that.
 
The list price was about 32,000.00. We negotiated and this is what we got:
 
The wheels traded UP - to BEAUTIFUL chrome wheels.
Lifetime replacement tires (only from wear - not from damage)
First oil change and first inspection free
2 Hyundai sports shirts (the kind the salesman wear) since they wouldn't give us the ones off their backs (lol).
 
Price WITH Title, Taxes and Tags - and all other Fees = $28,000.00
 
I love the car ...... and this was 9 months ago - but perhaps I should have waited until the 2009 came out..... OH WELL .... like I said ..... love the car! AND I STILL HAVE MY BELOVED TIBURON....

#1061 of 1119 END OF THE AZERA? by mvls1

Mar 12, 2009 (4:34 pm)

I visited my local dealer today to check out the 2009 Azera compared to 2007/2008. Surprisingly I was told that 2009 would be the last year for the Azera. When I asked them what their source was for this information they said that their regional representative had confirmed it. Can anyone confirm that this is true?
 
I am currently considering purchasing an Azera and am wondering how discontinueing production will effect owners of this model. Since it was only introduced in 2006 that would mean only 4 model years of production would exist. Questions that come to mind are,
 
1. Will after market product/parts continue to be available and if so, for how long?
 
2. Would any additional parts ie: improved shocks/springs ever become available?
 
3. How would the resale market hold up?
 
Anyone else have thoughts on this situation?
I actually thought that this deserved to be a new topic if true, but I couldn't find a way to start a new topic. Is it even possible for us members to do?
