I finally took the plunge and purchased a Veracruz today. 08 AWD Limited - Diamond Black with black saddle leather interior Options: Entertainment Package (DVD and Infinity Sound System), Carpeted Mats, First Aid Kit, and Cross Rails. MSRP - $38,295 Invoice - $35,481 Cost of Vehicle, including rebates - $31,836.50 Title, Tags, Fees, etc... $165.50 Out the door $32,000, not including my 6% PA sales tax Here is the kicker. The dealer I purchased this Veracruz from did not have the exact vehicle I wanted on their lot and was over an hour away from my home. They traded with the dealer that was near my home about 15-20 minutes away. The dealer close to me, would not go below invoice when I tried to by the exact vehicle from them when it was on their lot!  My buying tips: Do your homework, find out what others are paying. I know, I did not get the lowest price reported on this forum, but felt comfortable with 2.5K under invoice. Except for a test drive I did not step into a dealer until the day I purchased the vehicle. I blasted about 20-25 dealers within my tri state area. Some dealers would only talk if I came in to their dealership - crossed them right off the list. Some tried to get me into a vehicle not even close to what I wanted, but some dealers actually went out of their way to get my business. I was able to use false front line internet pricing in Maryland as a negotiating price to get my final deal in Western PA. I expierenced about a $3,000 swing in quotes. The dealer I purchased from, made less on this sale, but told me that they are trying to make it up on volume and that working off of lower margins will give them a larger allocation from Hyundai. Hence, in the future they will have more vehicles with different trim levels to choose from then the competition. Those with all the marbles win theory. I hope my information helps someone and on behalf of my wife, who is tired of seeing my on the computer at all hours - GOOD NIGHT and see you in about five years!

Unless you want exactly the model and trim that Fitzmall has on the internet, they do not have the best pricing. In fact, they were my example in my last post. I tried them and when I requested a quote on the exact vehicle I wanted - all of the sudden the price increased. There is a dealership much closer to you then in Maryland and they will work with of off tight margins. I also tried J-town with no success. P.S. I did my undergrad at Pitt at Johnstown, back in the late 80's! HAIL TO PITT!

Replying to: winedogs (Apr 14, 2008 1:45 pm) Since we are seeing more frequent purchases now with the $1000 rebate, and the year winding down, I want to remind everyone that has recently bought or is close to buying, to not forget to "Opt Out" of the arbitration provision Hyundai is putting in their warranty manual. I.e. you have 90 days from purchase to Opt Out of a binding arbitration provision. Hopefully you will never need to consider litigation against Hyundai, but if you have to you will not be able to bring a lawsuit against Hyundai on your car since, unless you "opted out" you "agreed" to the binding arbitration stuck in your warranty manual which you never knew about. You always can arbitrate if you want and Hyundai agrees, but this provision forces you to give up your constitutional right to trial and arbitrate via an arbitration company of Hyundai's choice. Often a much more expensive proposition than court. I do not think Hyundai is telling people about this at the time of sale, thus, unless you happen to read your warranty manual, you would not know the clock was ticking... |
