| I am looking at a 2005 Tuscon in North Carolina. LX 4WD with sunroof. My target price not including additional options (crossbars on the roof rack and a tow hitch) is 23K (including current $500 rebate). This is a little less than the current Edmunds TMV. Does this seem reasonable? | |

My wife and I recently purchased a 4WD GLS with a sunroof, cup holder pad and the updated 6 disc CD/cassette radio. Before buying the car however, we checked with our two Buffalo, New York area dealers for cost comparisions. One would discount the MSRP by $1100 and the other by $1200, which is where we purchased our vehicle...And this was before the $500 rebate and $750 competitive vehicle discounts.....The TMV price was $22,655 and the $1200 off the $23,344 MSRP resulted in a price of $22,144, which is $511 less than the TMV...And this is before the $500 and $750 discounts....I would say shop around and get a lower price than the $23,000 you are thinking about....Good luck!

Replying to: raythegerman (Jun 16, 2005 6:35 am) I just test drove a 2WD Tucson at Towne in Orchard Park...they seemed more willing to accommodate than some of the other dealerships I have visited in the past. I am assuming that the other dealership you are referring to is Northtown on Sheridan Drive? Which dealership was the better of the two AND what is the "competitive vehicle discount"? That wasn't mentioned when I went to Towne on Monday of this past week. Thanks for your time and input. |

To oskwi: Greetings to you and I live in the Town of Tonawanda also...Yes, we purchased our vehicle from Northtown....They gave us a $1200 discount off the MSRP....Up to May 31st Hyundai gave a $750 discount if you owned a selected competitive vehicle----my wife leased a Toyota Rav4 and the lease was due to expire....Instead of purchasing the Rav at the end of the lease, we test drove the Hyundai and were very impressed by the ride and the attention to quality...So we purchased the Tucson.....I would recommend the 4WD Tucson due to our Buffalo winters.....That is what we purchased but since it was in May, we haven't tested it in the winter....Towne did give us a discount of $1100 and when we went to Northtown, they had to beat it to get our business...If I were you, I would insist on at least the $1200 discount....Good luck and keep me posted on what you do!

So I called around and got the area Hyundai dealers bidding against each other. I made a deal for an '05 Tuscon XL 4WD with sunroof in the color I wanted (silver/grey) for an OTD price of $23,400. This is $1,000 better than my local dealer (where I test drove the vehicle) was able to do. They had to buy the car from another dealer (one which I did not call) and are driving it to their dealership tonight. I pick it up tomorrow. I am very happy with the price and hopefully the car as well. The dealer I am buying from is about 50 miles away.  One of the big differences in the deals was that my local dealer refused to drop the advertising fee. His loss.

Replying to: raythegerman (Jun 17, 2005 7:10 am) I'm actually relocating down to Louisville so I decided not to look at the 4WD models. I know this isn't exactly related to the thread, BUT the current Erie County fiasco and the lack of jobs caused me to look elsewhere for work and I signed a contract before I had even graduated with my Master's degree! I know that wouldn't have happened in WNY! Back to the topic...I test drove a Matrix this past week just to see what Toyota had to offer for the crossover segment. I absolutely hated it! It had zero pick-up and seemed to be cheaply made...I wasn't impressed. I also looked at the RAV4 and by the time I add all of the features I would want, I would be looking at close to $27,000...no thanks. I've eliminated most everything else...I did like the Escape rental that I had this past week when my car was in for servicing, BUT after seeing a report on CNN about faulty speed sensor switches and subsequent engine fires (and house fires if parked in an attached garage), I think I'll pursue something else. So, needless to say, the Tucson is definitely on the "short list" and the list is getting shorter with each test drive. I'll keep you posted! |

Sorry to see you leave Erie County but I can't blame you...My step-son graduated from UB a few years back and just couldn't find a suitable job here....He finally left and moved to Lancaster, PA and works for the federal government....The whole situation here in Erie County just disgusts me...Watch the 1% tax go through along with a huge property tax. My wife had a RAV4 for four years under a lease and it was a great car---no problems for the four years she had it....However, as you say, a loaded RAV is going to cost around $27,000......We obtained the GLS Tucson after all the discounts for less than $21,000....and it has a much better ride than the RAV! I just hope it holds up as well as the RAV over the long term. I also see in the paper today that Fuccillo on Grand Island is going to open a Hyundai dealership there around November---maybe you can get a better deal with them, if you're still here at that time....Good luck in Louisville---maybe a race horse would be better than an SUV????

Replying to: raythegerman (Jun 18, 2005 10:01 am) As far a Fuccillo, I started off there looking at the Matrix and I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I was approached before I even got out of the car, which compared to the dealerships that completely ignore you, was a pleasant surprise. However, we got into a debate about the amount of time the cars have sat on the lot...I got the usual "these cars just came in" and I responded by saying that they looked like the same exact three cars that were there about a month ago...I remember colors and options and these were definitely the same cars! Also, the salesman was limited in his knowledge about Toyotas and told me that the car he just showed me had a sunroof...which it didn't. After he noticed his screw-up, he fell all over himself trying to correct it. (A gaping hole in the roof, or lack thereof, is a hard thing to miss) I can only imagine what the final contract would look like if he came in contact with it! To make a long story short, that's how I ended up at West Herr. I looked at the Tucson again today...I really like the drive of the car...very quiet and responsive. I, like you, wonder about the long-term reliability, BUT with a 5/50,000 bumper to bumper warranty, I guess you can't beat it! I'm still on the fence, but I am leaning towards a new Tucson. As far as the race horse...if I place my bets right next May at the Derby, I might be facing a very early retirement...wouldn't that be a shame?! |
