#851 of 1006 turn in lease and buy new sonata by jimmyc3 Jun 11, 2009 (8:53 am)
i have a leased 06 sonata GL which i would like to turn in a month before lease end. at the same time, i would like to buy a new 09 sonata. should the dealer subtract the residual value of my leased vehicle from the price of the new vehicle? can i still qualify for the $3000 cash back incentive hyundai is offering? can i take advantage of the loyalty incentive even if i have only leased my 07 sonata? thanks so much!

Replying to: jimmyc3 (Jun 11, 2009 8:53 am) The dealer won't subtract the residual value of the leased car from the price of the new vehicle unless you first purchase the leased vehicle, and then there's no guarantee the dealer will give you a trade-in value equal to the residual.   You can get any rebates available to the general public on the new car. You should check with the dealer (finance person there) re the loyalty rebate question; it's very possible that if you are still leasing the car when you buy the new one, that will count for the loyalty rebate.   So, do you have two Sonatas--a 2006 and a 2007?

#854 of 1006 2009 Limited impressions by backy Jun 22, 2009 (2:32 pm)
I got to take a long (about 200 miles) drive in a nearly new (800 miles) 2009 Limited I4 with nav the other day, through the Texas Hill Country. I was a front seat passenger on the outbound leg and driver going home. It was a very pleasant drive. The A/C coped well with the 100 degree heat, the XM radio and audio system (tuned to my FIL's favorite station) sounded good, the transmission shifted smoothly going up and down the hills, and the car was very quiet except for a little occasional wind noise (it was a windy day) and tire thump over big tar strips. I noticed no suspension noise, although some of the roads we drove on were not in the best shape. We didn't use the nav as we knew the route.   I got 32.5 mpg on the 100-mile return leg, measured by the computer. My FIL said the best he or his wife had gotten on the car was 28 mpg, also measured by the computer. I drove with a light foot and stayed pretty close to the speed limits, which were 55-70 most of the time except when going through towns. Replies to this message: wcrowther (Jul 06, 2009 4:00 am)
#855 of 1006 09 options by hum3 Jun 25, 2009 (1:16 pm)
I am looking at the gls, must have dark interior.   about the option, I think it's called accessory package 1, with the power seats and woograin interior. Any thoughts if it's worth it?   Also, I think I read somewhere that the woodgrain only comes if you get the camel interior, not the dark. Is that true?   Third, does the sonata have daytime running lights?   Thanks very much for your help! Replies to this message: backy (Jun 25, 2009 1:27 pm) moocow1 (Jun 25, 2009 4:41 pm)

Replying to: hum3 (Jun 25, 2009 1:16 pm) The power seat could be very important if the seating position of the base model is not comfortable to you, or if multiple people will drive the car regularly.   The Sonata sold in the USA does not have DRLs. You can simulate them by turning on the headlights and leaving them on. They go off automatically when you remove the key.   Personally I think the silvery trim on the base GLS looks fine with the grey interior, but the woodgrain looks better with the camel interior (which you don't want anyway). The package also has a trip computer, which I find useful but not essential.

Replying to: hum3 (Jun 25, 2009 1:16 pm) I absolutely love the accessory package one. If not just for the power seats + steering wheel audio. Also love the automatic light and trip computer. I think it's totally worth the small cost of $500 for extra convenience. I remember it can come with either woodgrain or metalgrain, depending on style.
