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

[studyaid]

No, that was not the only response, just the best so far. I will be making my follow-up calls today, so I'll re-post the final pricing once I get it. Hopefully tomorrow I will be driving my brand new Genesis.

A site I've found very helpful is www.truecar.com. The site gives historical cost and actual purchase prices for new cars. According to the site: the last 53 Genesis 4.6 w/techs (MSRP $42,050) have sold for between $36,663 and $41,547. The average purchase price has been $38,447 with the actual dealer cost being $38,105. I've seen several posters claim to have paid far less than the truecar data shows, and frankly I don't understand a seller's motivation to lose thousands of dollars on a popular car.

When I started looking for the car I found 12 of them with the 4.6 and tech package at the dealer I went to. That suggests not very popular (yet). Also, the actual dealer cost is far below what you found. The internet price I was seeing was $37,900 for these cars.

As for the Genesis being a popular car, I went with my opinion. The actual dealer cost is an all together different issue, I went with data. Dealers can advertise a below cost price which could either be a loss-leader, or not inclusive of all fees. The $205 difference in figures we have could easily be eaten by "administrative fees", paint protection, etc. Getting one delivered for that would be very, very rare.

Agreed. The delivered "out the door" cost I got was $38,100.

 

[Sayantsi]

From what I've seen here, I'd fully expect to get a 4.6 Tech for around $37,000 plus tax, title, fees, etc. right now. Probably better once you start buying 09 models in Oct-Dec. when 10s are out.

What was the price of your Genesis before tax and license?
Thanks

The dealer isn't losing anything...far from it. You have to be very careful how you interpret this kind of data. Dealers do not even pay invoice for the car...well, actually, they do, but they get all kind of rebates and incentive deals from the factory. They had to start doing that when people discovered "invoice" cost. But, they never, ever lose money.

In the end, the dealer that gave me the lowest price then told me the car was not on the lot. I started thinking that once the car was on the lot, the price probably wouldn't be the same. So, I tried negotiating a bit more. I ended up getting a 3.8 Tech with the winged emblems and ipod cable (their invoice showed 37,613), my negotiated price was $37,200 and negotiated out the door for $40,213. I ended up paying $39,013 out the door. I feel good about the deal, and am very happy with the car. Oh, and this was at Rick Case in Plantation (Sunrise and 441).

I just remembered a rule about auto buying I had forgotten. I got all kinds of rules because I only seem to learn the hard way. Anyway, the rule: never start negotiating if you got your mind set on buying "that car that day" and you are not prepared to walk away.
It's really tough because those dealer negtiator guys can sense when you have made up your mind to do the deal on your dream car no matter what. Also, keep your mate out of it, as the dealer can read him or her a lot easier than you because presumably you got your "game face" on.
I'm planning to get a 2010 and I'm trying to remember all the rules from a negotiating class I had years ago. I really don't expect a really great deal given the popularity and short supply of the Genesis and my habit of giggleing in its presence.

Keep on keeping on,
Dick

I have a feeling there's been more to some of the great-deal stories we hear about. The "price of the car" may be actually quite a bit lower than the actual cost -- what the customer paid in the end. It may be Hyundai is offering super fantastic incentives to push this car out there, but some people report saving $6k+, which I call foul in a big way. IF Hyundai is offering that type of dealer cash, they're going to screw themselves (and us) with resale value later on. Afterall, why buy a used car for $34k when you can get a brand new one (supposedly) for $36k on a $41k MSRP.

There's some other factors in here we obviously don't know about. Trade-in values (dealer gives you less than wholesale for your trade, then reduces the price of the car to make you think you're getting a great deal), the snake-oil wax job, extended warranties, high interest rate / dealer kickback from finance company, etc. etc. etc. There are so many different ways dealers get you, the "price" of the car is nearly useless. The only thing that matters is the check the buyer or buyer's bank is writing.

That said, if people are truly getting such great deals, that's obviously great for them (though, we'll all be disappointed when we go to trade - pay now or pay later, one way or another, you pay -- look at Chrysler resale due to their huge incentives) In the end, the most important thing is being happy with your purchase. I certainly didn't get one of these $6k off deals others are purporting, but I got out of a car I didn't like and into one I'm growing to love. Will be paid off in a year or so and the purchase price will be a distant memory.

Whatever price you paid -- enjoy.

Apparently I got an "average" deal............but it is the first time I've ever bought a new car and gotten EXACTLY the color, interior, and accessories that we (the boss and I) wanted. Well, to be truthful, she got the color and accessories and I got the ENGINE that I wanted. Our gennie listed for 42K and depending upon where you do the slicing, the bottom line price for gennie was 38.5K. But I was happy as a clam since the dealer took my first offer +$500. The negotiation time was about 10 minutes. I also ended up buying a clear bra and got the windows tinted (outside the bottom line price). (The boss would have preferred an a/c passenger seat; but my seat is a/c - - don't tell her I said that. )

 

[Seattle Genesis]

the best price I could get in the Seattle area for the V8 tech was $40,500 and $41,500 at two different dealers. They would not budge from that number so I opted for the V6 at much less.

Has anyone purchased a Genesis through the Hyundai Associate Purchase Program?

That was my experience as well! There were those "market adjustments" we all know and love at two of the dealers... naturally, they took those off and came down about $500-1000 on the V8/tech... but wouldn't budge further. I drove the V6 and felt it had plenty of power for my needs and opted for that. They dealt a bit better on that. They were dead set on keeping those 4.6's, even though the market adjust. stickers were faded and the state inspection stickers were from November and February.

No, already had my Gen when the HAPP was offered to me via the Think Tank. As I recall, my price for the 4.6 w/Tech was $37,300ish plus destination, tax, etc. Or as my dealer said when I mentioned it to him, "2% under invoice".

I paid $39,100 last November. Great price then, and the 'new' prices don't bother me at all. I'm happy for all of you! (Though I've still yet to see one on the road, and only one parked.)

 

[wheines]

Beginning of July, 2009 ..for the v8 with tech, ipod cable and trunk cargo tray....$37,900....Chicago, Illinois area.

I'm curious:
Is there a reason not to name the dealer? When I got mine I specifically asked if they wanted me to keep the price quiet and was told to advertise away.
Anyway, great price! Sounds like HAPP + Destination.

 

[rb cline]

Hay Guys,

For you folks in Fla the lowest price I can find via internet is Fitzgerald in Clearwater FL. Their on line price includes shipping. I am waiting to hear if there any add'l. dealer add ons or fees. If not- then they have the best deal in the country. The also opperate out of MD and PA.
Hope this helps for those who haven't already pulled the trigger.
