How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Hyundai Elantra (Updated)

Question From Jessica: How much should I pay for a new 2008 Elantra GLS 4 speed automatic with premium package (air conditioning, etc)? I would like to know the best deal I could hope for when buying this car. Thanks
Queen of the Road: Hi Jessica! Did you want the base GLS or the GLS PZEV? I looked through the GLS base and was unable to find any with Premium Package, but the largest discounts were with the GLS bases.
Follow Up Comment: well, i don’t really know what the difference is between the base GLS and the GLS PZEV. I think I just want the GLS base with the popular equipment package, which has air conditioning, etc.
Queen of the Road: Yummy! Lots of good deals for the Elantra. The best offer is from Malloy Hyundai in Woodbridge, Va.

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.
If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.
If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.
If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.
The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.
How Do I Use This Deal In My Hometown? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.
If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal. The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. If you want to research more new car prices, poke around on www.AutoBrag.com.
