My Buying Experience at Myers Hyundai, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

[Monandy]

Prior to going to Myers Hyundai, I visited two other Hyundai dealerships in the Ottawa area.

I was interested in a 2009 Genesis V6 3.8L 4 door sedan with a cabernet red pearl exterior and a cashmere leather interior along with the premium package.

I had the Car Cost Canada price (wholesale price) paid by the dealership in Canada for that vehicle.

After a short discussion, both dealerships came down $2000.00 from the MSRP of $39,995.00 Canadian.

The amount of money that they offered for my trade-in became the point of contention.

One dealership was offering$ 8,000.00 and the other $9,000.00.

The color that I wanted for the Genesis was not available at these two dealerships and they would have had to get the car from another dealer in some other city in Ontario.

I then decided to go at the Myers Hyundai dealership. Upon arrival, I asked to see the new car sales manager.

I was introduced to her and I told her that I was interested in buying a new 2009 Genesis of a certain color and that if we could come to some agreement, I was prepared to buy the car on that day.

After a short discussion, she gave me the same price as the other two dealerships for the Genesis.

But the difference was that after viewing my trade-in, she offered $10,500.00 which was $1,500.00 more than the best offer that I had thus far.

This dealership did not have in stock the Genesis with the color that I wanted.

She found one in the Toronto area and they would have to get it shipped to their dealership in Ottawa on a float at a cost of about $600.00.

She said that I would have to pay for this extra cost or at least share the cost with them.

I suggested to her that if she (dealership) would absorb the full shipping cost for the Genesis, I would not try to get her to give me more for my trade-in and that we would have a deal.

She accepted and I purchased the car on the spot.

They ordered the vehicle and I took possession of it eight days later.

This experience with Myers Hyundai was a very pleasant one and my wife and I felt that it was the less stressful
car purchasing experience that we ever had. We purchased 18 or 19 vehicles over the years.

I would recommend Myers Hyundai to anyone who is interested in a Hyundai vehicle.

Take care,

Glad you had a good experience. I bought my 3.8 from Pathway in Orleans and had a pretty good experience. After visting Bank Street Hyundai, I was happy to deal with anyone who could name 3 features on the car or tell me a price/payment. One would think they could at least give their salespeople a computer so they can see the Hyundai website and access the same information as the customer. That said, did Myers install your winged badges? I did my own and am curious if Hyundai will give me grief at the end of my lease.

Hi Canadian,

In my case, I purchased the vehicle...so I was free to install the hood, trunk lid and steering wheel badges.

I had them installed by a fellow who works in a local body shop and it took him about 15 minutes to do it.

In your case, the vehicle is leased...so I don't know what the Hyundai dealership would say when you turn the car back in at the end of your lease.

Perhaps you could check with them and see what they have to say about installing different badges.

Once these badges are on the vehicle, it would be very difficult to remove them...if not impossible.

I imagine that you are enjoying your Genesis as much as I am enjoying mine.

Take care,

The badges will remove the same way as the original badge since it uses the same adhesive tape. Now, depending on the sun fade, the outline may still be visible on the paint.

I kept my original badge (and wheel caps) just in case.
