Question From Ramesh: How much should i pay for a 2007 Hyundai Sonata SE V6? Zip code 94539. Miles - 42000. color silver

Queen of the Road: Hi Ramesh. Welcome to our blog! Let’s find you some fair Hyundai prices.

For a 2007 Hyundai Sonata V6 SE with 42,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $9,200 (being in above average condition) to $8,400 (being in average condition) and $7,700 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $8.9k to $10.4k. In this case, the seller is aiming real high. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Are you buying from a dealership or a private seller? What was the offer? Be sure to check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of each vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.

Here’s a good article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process.  Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.

Question From Justine: I have found this 2007 Hyundai Elantra GLS manual with 17,150 miles on it. It is being advertised as 14,495. I think I should not pay more than 12,500-13,000 for it. What are your thoughts? What should I pay for this car if I am buying it from a dealer?

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for your response about my shopping

I feel like I spent the day in a shark tank looking at several cars and wondering how to play the buyer’s market game to not get eaten alive.

I would be the 3rd owner of this 2007 GLS if I buy. It has 15,820 miles. Engine size 2.7. The dealer who has it now showed me the carfax report that it was part of a rental fleet near NYC. The first 10,000+ were put on it there in 6 months.
The rest were acquired as driven by one of the current owners of the dealership. I test drove it and looked it over and inspected the service record. Nothing seemed outstanding except a few cosmetic issues –mismatched floor mats and missing covers for the cigarette lighters.

What do you think of $18500 for this car?

A similarly appointed new Santa Fe with rebate $2500 was offered at 22900. I wonder what the best long term purchase is?

Queen of the Road: Hi John. Yes, it’s quite intimidating knowing you’re bargaining with car salesmen. They are professionals when it comes to manipulating your decision. To answer your question: $18,500 is a ridiculous price to pay. Especially for a rental car. You know it was driven to the max. That car is a sour deal.

For a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD V6 2.7L GLS with 15,800 miles, prices range from $15,300 (being in above average condition) to $14,700 (being in average condition) and $14,000 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $15,500 to $17,000.

As for the NEW Santa Fe, is $22,900 the ‘after rebate is applied’ price OR ‘before rebate is applied’ price? I found deals that were offered at $21,900.

Question From Joy: for AWD 07 Sante Fe w/15000miles. Dealer owner.
Joy

Queen of the Road: Hello Joy! Welcome to AutoBragBlog! I’d love to get started on helping you, but I’ll need a little more info. about the vehicle.

What style is the Santa Fe? Base? Limited? SE? 2.7L or 3.3L GLS?
