#42 of 56 Re: 2009 Accent GS OTD price - $11700 [tamoshanter] by cstewart27 Jul 06, 2009 (2:56 am)
Replying to: tamoshanter (Jun 30, 2009 10:13 am) Please let me know where you went in Richmond, VA. I'm in northeast OH, but willing to drive within a day's drive to get a decent price. I was looking at buying a 2009 Hyundai Accent after 7/23 with the CARS program, but of course the dealer had a great deal this week!    I'm 5'1" and I just love our 1997 Accent. I started out at the dealership looking for a 4-door auto Accent. Salesman, of course, worked us up to Elantra GLS because it got the "Consumer Reports top recommendation due to electronic stability control". We got him down to a price of $17772 for Elantra GLS with power options and moonroof. He was nearly dancing with delight, so I was really hesitant to sign anything although he wasn't very happy about not getting our signature.    Anyway, after going home to research the Elantra GLS Auto , I discovered the GLS does NOT have electronic stability control and $17,722 definitely was pretty high. That explained his ear to ear grin!    To get to electronic stability control in Elantra - I need to get a Elantra SE. I was able to find one each at three different dealers yesterday. The second dealer went to $17,500 on a Elantra SE without any hesitation whatsoever - which really made me wonder if that price was pretty much in line with the Sonata why go with the smaller car.    I know there is a $3000 rebate on Sonata, $2000 on Elantra and $1500 on Accent - so please let me know if the $$$ you recommend for negotiating a high and low is before or after any rebate.    I'm heading back out today to check with other dealers. Price will drive it all, so I may need to drop back down to an Accent and will be delighted to do it!   I can definitely drive to Richmond, VA to get a decent price. Richmond, VA is about 8 hrs away, so if anyone has a dealer they would really recommend closer to Ohio, I'd be interested too!

Replying to: SHADAX (Jul 18, 2009 2:26 pm) Sorry, I forgot to mention it was a 3-door hatchback. I got it from Garden Grove Hyundai in Southern California. Replies to this message: cstewart27 (Jul 18, 2009 2:45 pm) SHADAX (Jul 18, 2009 7:23 pm)

Replying to: SHADAX (Jul 18, 2009 2:28 pm) What proof of registration did you have to give the dealer.   My dealer here said that I need to provide both the 2008 and the 2009 registration because my 2009 registration started on 3/9/2009 and expires 3/9/2010 and does not cover the full 12 month period.   Supposedly I don't qualify unless I can somehow get proof of my 3/9/2008 to 3/9/2009 registration to show it was registered for the past 12 months.   NOTE: I do have my insurance proof showing that it was insured for the past 12 months.   When I called the CARS hotline, they said if the dealer was requiring it - it must be needed. They suggested I contact my state BMV and ask them to provide proof of my 2008 registration so that I can qualify for the CARS program. Replies to this message: SHADAX (Jul 18, 2009 7:23 pm)

Replying to: cstewart27 (Jul 18, 2009 2:45 pm) I had both the insurance and reg info to show a year. You also need the pink slip, which I forgot to bring...but they said they could do it without it but it would cost $25. So I'm going to bring it within a few days which they said was okay. Let me say though, The Accent is a nice car, very comparable to the Yaris hatch...Better warranty though. Just wanted some trouble free driving for many years. For $8500, I feel that even keeping the car for 5 years would be a huge win. However, I'm sure it will last much longer the way my Mom drives.

Started my shopping for 09 Accent Hatchback SE w no extras. Offered one in stock for $12,870 plus tax-tags and registration just outside the DC beltway. No Hyundai dealers in the district so residents go to MD or VA.

Replying to: SHADAX (Jul 18, 2009 2:26 pm) HAHA!! Just had to update my post because of the following: In case you didn't read post #43 (read it for details) I ended up paying $8,522.19 out the door for my 2009 Accent GS w/ Auto, Premium Pkg. Well, I just found out that according to the California Board of Equalization, the $4,500 is considered a nontaxable government purchase. I clued in my dealer, they had a meeting, and now I'm going to get a partial sales tax refund! Where I live in Southern California, the sales tax is an ungodly 8.75% - so I will be getting a check for $393.75! That makes my total cost for this car $8,128.44!! Super deal. I'm glad I did it early too before all of the chaos...

#50 of 56 What I paid for my new Hyundai Accent GS 2009 by pandamotorist Sep 04, 2009 (8:53 am)
I ended up paying 12,600 not including taxes and financing interest. I believe I could have got it for 11,900 or 12,000 even, but this was just after the cash for clunkers program and they only had one 2009 Accent left in stock. I wanted a Toyota Yaris but three local Toyota dealers were all out of stock. Oh well.   This was in Missouri by the way.
#51 of 56 $12,400 out the door in VA by ceej Sep 04, 2009 (4:37 pm)
In Richmond, Virginia I just purchased the Accent 4 door sedan. The only "features" are air conditioning & floor matts. After fees, taxes & licensing, I paid $12,406. Then bought & installed a radio. This was the first purchase I've ever made from a dealership, as I've always purchased used cars from individuals. I had a very smooth buying experience without the pressurizing dialogue that I experienced at other dealerships the week prior to this purchase. I recommend Micky at Pearson Hyundai on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond, Virginia.
