So what kind of pricing did you guys/gals get?

[BacktoHyundaibychoice]

Where did you find the associate pricing offered on the Think Tank?

I think it was under "News". Also received an email alerting me to it.

I signed a lease on 3.8 Premium Plus Package with ipod cable included for $31430 cap cost.
The finance manager was upset with the GM for doing thsi deal, but the GM had already promised me.
So I pay $408+tax for a nice car whichincludes 3 years of free service, and no extracost for excess wear and tear.
Is this a good deal?

I just got my V6/tech for $35563 plus tax at Glendora Hyundai in SoCal, including the $100 trunk mat. Sterling Blue & Cashmere.

Talk to Pierce Caine, the internet sales guy. No hassle whatsoever. It took him half a day to get the car, and he went and got it himself on his day off. That was $2-$4K below the other quotes I was getting.

Only problem was no finished trunk, under the rear speakers. He pleaded ignorance on that issue, but said to call Hyundai and they should take care of it. The Mfg date was mid Dec 2008.

I live in AZ, so I got a one way trip title. License fee gets paid tomorrow, along with the call to Hyundai about the trunk. Also gotta get it tinted (Phoenix!!!). And the new badges are in the mail.

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it...

Congratulations....and thanks for mentioning the dealer...I may give then a call.

I am still in the pricing stage. I am looking at purchasing in August or September. I would like the 3.8 Tech. So far, just on the walking into the dealer pricing, the dealers have given me the standard line of Retail of $40K, and invoice of $38k. Even using the BJ's auto buying service, the dealer is quoting $38K. I'm assuming that I should be able to get a better price on this car, I'm just trying to figure out where to start. Thanks.

If you're going to wait as long as Sept., you'll probably get a better deal simply because by then there should be either an announcement or indication of the 2010 sedan.

Until then, assuming your local dealerships aren't doing anything crazy because they're having trouble moving the cars, I suggest going through zag.com if you have an affinity group that uses that service (AmEx, USAA, CapitalOne, etc.). I was able to get about $1K under invoice back in April going that route.

Got any CostCo's near you? Go to their website and go into the car buying program. You'll end up with a list of participating dealers near you to pick from. They have deals for CostCo members. The web site will ask for your email address which it will then forward to the dealer you select. I got an email from that dealer; I replied that I wasn't yet a CostCo member - I was just testing the program out since I'd heard about it. They said "doesn't matter." The CostCo pricing is similar to the "internet pricing" mentioned earlier in this thread. For my 4.6+Tech (MSRP around $42.something thousand) their first offer was just over $38K. There is another thread on this site where folks have posted their deals; this CostCo deal is right in line with the better deals folks have found - and I didn't have to argue a whit with the dealer. Trivially easy. I'm not a fan of CostCo but this program rocks! It worked great for my parents too when they bought their Azera last year.

Hay Guys and Gals,

When posting prices you got on a Gennie it is important to let us know if that was the true bottom line. What I mean is a lot of dealers negotiate from MSRP but add additional charges to the contract such as, but not limited to, processing fees, advertising, inland freight(usually $750), etc.
I,m not talking about taxes and regestration but creative charges that are revealed only after you get your hard won negotiated price off of MSRP. I've been in negotians where I clearly stated at the get go that I would not entertain any add'l charges after we agreed on a price only to find additional charges tacked on somewhere in the final document.
At that point you have to restart negotiations, usually with the sales mgr. (closer) or walk away. And by the way, the closer is not the same nice fellow as your salesman but a dead eyed hired gun that your salesman is subordinate to. Sometimes the finance guy is the deal killer who refuses to acccept the contract from the salesman/closer because there is "no profit in the deal". Uaually the only way to get the add ons(not freignt) removed is to get up and walk.
O yes. The finance guy is now part of the sales team. He will try to sell you $500 wax(read hand) jobs , service contracts and god knows what. The classic is " that 0% APR offer we advertised last week has expired and is no longer available".

Sorry it,s such a messy business but thats how it works and thats why we must deal in the true bottom line when talking to each other.

A good practice is to say you'll only entertain quotes that are followed with the words "Delivered - all dealer fees included". It not only makes the process quicker, but you'll have a quote you can easily compare to others. You'll still get additional sale pitches for extras, but any suprises can be handled by pointing to that phrase.

Also important to note trade (if any) -- some of these deals are WELL below invoice, on a first model year vehicle. Obviously some dealers playing the numbers game will knock several thousand off MSRP, while making it up in trade value.

Certainly happy for those who have gotten such a good deal (I got my 3.8 tech around invoice) --I just get the sense there's some trade-ins involved.

Negotiated $37k for 4.6 V8 with Tech. Unfortunately, I am still waiting to take delivery of the vehicle.

 

[Sayantsi]

So, are people who are members of Think Tank getting to use the Associate Purchase program when working on pricing?

I started with the car buying service my insurance company offers, one of the dealerships offered a 4.6 with tech for $750 below invoice:

MSRP: $42050
Invoice: $39342
Less $750: $38592

During a phone call to the dealership I asked about any other fees or costs and was told there were none. Out the door for that price plus sales tax. I actually went in intending to shake hands, give them a check, and drive off the lot with the car. But then the sales guy turned into a cliche car salesman. They tried piling on a few hundred in other fees and costs.

The car also had LoJack on it which was never mentioned, they wanted to add $695 for that. I didn't want the LoJack, so I told them to find another car.

Then a sort of funny thing happened. They had a Korean couple in the dealership, they were reps from Hyundai in Korea. I used to live in Korea so I went over and introduced myself, speaking Korean. Talked to the husband and wife for a bit, the entire time the owner's jaw was sort of sitting on the floor.

Went back and told them I've wasted enough time, and got the 4.6 tech package for $37825 plus tax. LoJack, trunk tray, cargo net, ipod cable, and a full tank of gas included.

I would not buy another car from that dealership though.

I paid cash.
