It was the GLS, not the POS.

No one pays sticker... but - you don't go in to a dealership a month before you want to purchase to negotiate your price... Read the sticker for an idea on what you are expected to pay...

When you have money in hand and are there to buy a vehicle you are now in the position to start negotiating final payment + addins they are going to give you (tinted windows, less tax, etc)

Dude, use the internet to do all your research, see how much other poeple are paying for their sonatas, here and check out other helpful sites like fighting chance and car buying tips and make an informed decsion and you will get exactly what u need :beer:

 

[PingSpike]

Isn't there a way to just bypass the dealership yet? That way you could use them for their test drive services and then order the car you want. That'd be sweet.

 

[andylawcc]

maybe you need better-ed engrish.

Hyundai is not the POS it used to be. They've made HUGE improvements in the last few years. They're not up to Toyota or Honda levels yet, but they're getting closer. I'd buy a Hyundai over a Chevy.

You're not going to get a price without showing intention to buy. They're afraid that you're just going to use their price to dicker with somebody else. The way to get their attention is to be a buyer, not a looker. If they ask what it'll take to get your business today, say "give me a better price than the last place". Trust me, they'll have a price in front of you so fast it'll make your head spin. Then you can leave.

Can you afford a Hyundai?

I had no problem when I went to the ford dealership. I went during the middle of a slow weekday and made it very clear to the guy that I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy, and that there was no way I was going to buy within two months (was going to be a graduation present to myself). The guy was nice, made a low pressure sales pitch, and gave me a few numbers. He then called me 1.5 months later to ask if I was still interested. I didn't end up buying, but it certainly beat some the the high-pressure dealers I got to listen to when I went car shopping with my dad.

Domestic car dealerships actually tend to be low pressure compared to "imports". This may explain part of the sales shortfall, but it's cool nonetheless.

even tough i think car dealerships are YMMV, that kind of shows you what brands to stick with, doesn't it?

btw the new sonata is a pretty nice car.

 

[TwinkleToes77]

Similiar happened to me.. I was looking at a Tiburon, they wouldnt give me a price without giving them a $500 deposit. WTF. I was buying a car that day too.. But if they want money before they even make an offer.. f that.. WTF I took my business elsewhere

 

[JoPh]

ive also had an experiance where i went to the dealership with my dad and told the guy I was buying the car and I was paying for it but the salesman would only talk to my dad. ha.

 

[MangoTBG]

Terrible experiance = being molested.

You, my friend, cried wolf.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

So far from my experience Porsche and Honda have the best salesmen
