If you look to the right you will see that the 2009 Sonata has 66 consumer reviews and the 2009 Camry has 54 reviews. I believe the 2009 Camry started selling a few weeks before the 09 Sonata. My question is: Why is there more Sonata reviews when the Camry must have outsold the Sonata by huge numbers?

You get all the value and savings without the aggravation of pushy salesmen and high-price negotiations. http://www.hertzcarsales.com/advantages/advantage.jsp I see $14-15K on their site, only lists cars in CA and HI, but still... They probably figure people will be comparing them to the 2009 model, so selling them for probably about what they paid might just work. It is nuts, though...I've only got 13K on my 2007, maybe I can sell for more than the $16K that I paid  .

Replying to: moveover (Aug 28, 2008 1:58 pm) It would be really interesting to see the actual prices these cars eventually go for. That price is $1200 more than I paid for my 07 and I have 17,000 miles. I understand Carmax is a no negotiation place but that doesn't mean they never lower there stated prices. I have yet to hear somebody report or chime in "OMG I didn't know these things sold for $16500 new...I just paid $17,700 for one with 20k on it". I just went on Cars.com and pulled up used Mazda6s for sale in Chicago area and the majority of the the 07s with similar mileage have asking prices of around $14,900. I assume those prices are negotiated down to something between $13k and $14k. Even if it's $13k---that's not bad 1st year depreciation from $16500. That's 21% and lots of cars suffer that or more depreciation in the first year. Now if you're talking off of original MSRP, it's closer to 38% but nobody paid MSRP.
