Replying to: jaxs1 (Feb 12, 2008 5:37 pm) I can think of two reasons why large discounts and rebates will reappear on the 2009 Sonata within a few months of its release: 1) Intense competition in the mid-sized class, with other cars e.g. Fulan, Mazda6, Camry, Aura offered at large discounts. 2) Depressed auto sales due to the recession. Recall that even when the all-new 2006 Sonata debuted, large rebates and discounts appeared soon after its launch. So I don't think we need to wait until 2010 or until the next-gen Sonata is released for large discounts/rebates.

Need opinion. Is it better to buy a 2008 with huge discounts or wait till the 2009 comes out and buy it with not so big discounts? |

Replying to: mazda6dude (Feb 13, 2008 9:05 am) Consideration: Does the 09 have changes that you would really like to have. Such as the 09 Sonata redesigned interior and HP/mileage increase. Personally, I think these things are quite alluring so I would probably want at least a 3000 better deal on the 08.

Replying to: mazda6dude (Feb 13, 2008 9:05 am) Paid $20,660 + TTL for a new 08 V6 Limited with Sunroof, floor mats and cargo net. That's $5200 off MSRP. That was 2 weeks ago, then a couple of days later I learned that the 09's are coming out soon later this month. However, I am happy with my 08, and just by looking at Fitzmall's prices on the 09's I can tell that I made a good decision. However, I do love the new interior! |

Replying to: backy (Feb 13, 2008 8:22 am) However, if the '09s come out within the next month, as some have said, our '07 (not quite a year old) will be 2 model years old in 13 months. We didn't exactly buy it at the end of the model year. Moving the intro date up by 3 months is a bit much. (Both our Sonatas, '05 & '07 have been fantastic.) |

Replying to: m6user (Feb 13, 2008 10:25 am) As you said, once a car gets a certain number of years old, condition & milage are much more important than the model year. I think that time frame is more like 5 or 6 years while you are projecting a longer time frame. Who knows, just a different opinion from an insurance agent who has seen values set for cars damaged in accidents.

| In my neck of the woods, there are still quite a few unsold '07 Sonatas on the lot, not to mention the '08s. With an '09 coming in a few weeks, and local dealers facing the prospect of a two-year-old brand new car on the lot, the crunch is coming. I wonder if this will force dealers out of business in smaller markets like mine. The local Kia dealer also has far more '07s than '08s on the lot. | |
