That dealer needs a reality check. Just look at residual values for both.
 
I think your $24.8k is entirely realistic. In fact when I looked at Limited models I remember them being right about that much, $25k.
 
Shop at fitzmall.com, they will have much better prices, and they have a Hyundai store.

Local Hyundai dealer by aberwacky

This dealer has been very difficult from the beginning, and I would prefer not to do business with them if at all possible because of the typical "car salesman" approach they use. Unfortunately, the two dealerships within 50 miles of me are both owned by the same people.
 
I'm getting some quotes from dealers farther away--well I'm trying to. It's amazing to me that some don't even respond to the requests.
 
Thanks for the fitzmall reference. I'll give them a try.
 
I think I can go lower on the Odyssey--my "low" price was before I knew about the $2000 dealer incentive Honda is offering. Still, though, it's not a bad price.

If you want to compare no-haggle Honda prices in the same region, try:

They have a Honda store. Just make sure to add freight and processing, since they do not include those.

Does anyone know what Fitzmall's delivery range is? I can't find the information anywhere on their website.
 
Thanks,

Not sure...maybe call them up? My family has purchased about 5 cars from them and every experience was a good one.

They need to separate those classes. Which is the best van? Which is the worst wagon?

2006 Sedona by lavrishevo

Well I purchased my first mini-van about six months ago and before I made my decision I went and looked at them all. The Ody was really the "nicest" out the bunch but also demanded the most amount of cash. I live in Puerto Rico and we have to pay an excise tax on all vehicles. The amount is determined by the cost of the vehicle. So the starting price on the Ody started at 32,000 / Sienna stared at 29,500 and the Sedona was only 23,500. I got the Sedona lx long wheel base with cloth a roof rack, tinted windows, and all the the standard stuff. I honestly was very impressed by the Sedona with it's power and ride. Not as agile as the Ody but just as much power and i have neen getting as advertised 18/25. That is great considering I use the a/c every time I drive it. The Sienna does get better mpg but with the price difference it would take me about 15 years to make up the cost difference in fuel savings. All three vans are nice but for my needs the Sedona was the choice. Ah yes and I added HID for $125.00 off of ebay.

Congrats.
 
Are there Kia dealers in PR? How is parts availability?
 
Just curious.

Yeah we have every manufacture down here except Saturn. At least that I can think of off the top if my head. Though we seem to get the models a little later then the continental u.s. does. No problems with parts that I know of, but then again I have not needed any so far. The down side is the import (excise) tax. I was going to bring my 400 hp 06 Mustang GT down when I moved but the excise tax was $10,000.00 not including shipping. So this was a bummer as you can imagine. Nothing like going from a 400 HP to 250 in a mini-van. I guess that's what they mean by growing up.... Sure miss that 11.9 1/4 mile but I don't think my infant son would enjoy it as much as me.
