Replying to: kbrien (Aug 17, 2008 4:55 pm) My car is a GLS. It came with everything. But not the SE leather seats/moonroof. I only had to buy a cargo tray for the trunk. As for the $369....what kind of deal did they offer you? All we got offered was the $1600 deal and turned it down. Now, you can go to www.hyundai.com and register as a new owner with your email address and you put in your vin# and everything comes up and then you can look for dealer coupons if they are offering them. Also, every month the prices change at the dealership. We got ours for $13995 and now they are selling at the same dealership for $14993. I got one for the price I mentioned and hubby was looking around and decided he wanted one too and because we were doing a 2 car purchase the car he looked at had the cargo mat in it and the dealer gave him the same price as me due to buying 2 cars. But still, the $63 was no big deal to me. I wouldn't say you were ripped off, as you have to talk the dealer down too when pricing a vehicle. You paid a little over $2000 more for what I paid for a GLS version.

Replying to: kbrien (Aug 17, 2008 4:03 pm) I don’t think that you were ripped off at all. I got my Elantra in March, and the dealership had just received a copy of the first Consumer Reports article the day I was there. Gas prices were a lot lower then too, and their inventory was a lot higher. By way of comparison, I was also considering a Prius. At that time (March), they had 68 Prius’ in stock and were selling them around invoice. Now they have 3, and are selling them at MSRP. As others have said, it is supply and demand, and right now there is limited supply of small cars, so I think that you got a good deal. For your info, the car does not come equipped standard from the factory with mats, as that is a $85.00 (MSRP) option. You can get your mats, etc on line using the links that others have posted. I used HyundaiPartsPeople for accessories (mud flaps, front mask, all weather mats) because their price plus shipping seemed the best to me. Since I plan to change my own oil, I ordered a case of OEM oil filters and gaskets on line, as well as the service manuals from TitusWill.com (there’s a link around here somewhere or use Google) and they were very helpful. I hope you enjoy your Elantra.

Replying to: wv_irish (Aug 19, 2008 2:11 pm) I have the same problem!!! And I took it to the dealer. They kinda thought I was crazy as it warms up after doing over 45 speed limit. So I called Hyundai and made a complaint. They have me with a case number and told me to take it back tot he dealer again. I have to call them back on Monday. And I have to leave the car for a night as they need to cold start it to find this problem. Hyundai is going to put me as an open case not to be closed until further notice as if they get more complaints they are going to investigate this problem. Please call Hyundai and tell them you are having the same problem. So far I am the only person to have reported it to them. thanks |

Replying to: riguy (Aug 20, 2008 5:12 pm) what can I advise you is about the manufacturing year, the 8th digit form the left of the car serial no. (chassis no.) will refer to the manufacturing year. if you find it 8 that means it is 2008. Good Luck, Koosay Ibrahim Baghdad, Iraq |

Replying to: kbrien (Aug 17, 2008 7:52 am) In early June I bought an '08 Elantra SE w/leather, sunroon, spoiler and floor mats. Price paid: $17,135.00 plus tax, tags, etc. Prices on the SE have gone up due to supply and demand. Demand outstripped supply and prices went up when two things happened; 1) Consumer Reports chose it as a Top Pick in both the April and July issues. 2) Gas prices started to rise quickly, making fuel economy a major deciding factor for car buyers. I'm sure I paid more than others who bought before me, just as I'm sure there are others who paid more after me. I made my purchase in the middle of those events. I would buy another one in a heartbeat, even if I knew the price was higher than a few weeks or months ago. It's still the best and most car for the money. I also purchase my car from Fitzmall in Maryland. I found out about Fitzmall right here on these forums, and it's very likely I would not be driving an Elantra today without it. I live in Central Florida. When I went looking for my Elantra there were no SEs w/leather ANYWHERE in Central Florida, or within hundreds of miles. I had 3 dealers looking for me. I found my car online at Fitzmall, made a phone call and when it came in (it was on order) I had it shipped to Fitzgerald's Clearwater, FL store, where I picked it up. Working with Fitzmall was, for the most part, a breeze. They handled everything in Maryland. All I had to do was sign the papers when I got to the Clearwater store and drive it off the lot. I paid the internet price because, obviously, I'm not near any Fitzgerald dealer that can service my car. They didn't try to strong-arm me into any additional "add-ons". (aka: pure dealer profit) Their prices were far better than any dealer within 200 miles of me. I bought a carpeted cargo mat and cargo net online at one of the online sites previously posted. I can't remember which one, but choosing which one, for me, was purely a function of price. I also bought the aftermarket door mouldings from an eBay seller, which my dear husband has yet to install for me, but that's another story.  I have not had any problems with my car whatsoever. Mfg date April1, 2008. I currently have over 2500 miles on it. I love my Elantra!
