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.

Follow Up Comment: Ok, so I went to a dealer today, took a test drive of a 2Dr Accent GS, with the popular equipment package (Air conditioning, XM etc, no ABS brakes). MSRP was around 14,900. I got them down to factory invoice 13943, but the “bad cop” came out and wouldn’t drop any lower, and then wouldn’t give me any money on my trade (dropped from $2000 to $1500 on my trade because he went from MSRP to “factory” invoice), because I was “buying a car with little mark up”.
Any advice? Any deals I can pull out to get them lower?

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Fun Driver, Welcome back to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

You should be careful with this dealer; it looks like they are one of those that want to get the most out of your pocket. If the MSRP of the car is $14,900.00, you should start the negotiation based on $13,900 being the real MSRP. Hyundai has a $1,000.00 Consumer Cash Back on the 2008 Hyundai Accent and the Dealer is supposed to tell you about that incentive. That discount comes from Hyundai and has nothing to do with the Dealer’s Profit. Below are some No-Haggle prices for you to have an idea on how much other dealers are selling the same 2008 Hyundai Accent. If they can sell for that price there is no reason why your local dealer can’t sell it for the same price. You should print those ads and take them with you to show them where you got those prices.

Question From Joy: I’m intereseted in any of the following:
Toyota RAV4 Base
Tuscon Hyundai SE
Subaru Forester (base)
Subaru Legacy w/esc
Honda CR-V

Yes, all 2008.
Yes AWD
4C preferred when available for improved gas mileage
ESC is electronic stability control — a must for us. It can be called dynamic stability control.
The musts include electronic stability control, curtain and front airbags and fog lights. Extras that add to the costs are not desired. The car is for my recent college graduate daughter who is moving to upstate NY and will be traveling back to PA frequently. Safety is BIG, fuel economy 2nd in importance and last is avoiding spending more than we must. Some dealers offer college discounts, I understand. We are open to other car suggestions.Thanks for your help.

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment: I posted the previous thread on Sonata and found another seller of the same car.

Need some advice on the Hyundai. I carfaxed with the vin # the owner provided and this is what it shows. This was a rental car and then sold to a private owner who is trying to make some money. It has 12,000 miles and brought him down to $11,750. btw does this car have a lien on it because if you scroll down it says lien or load reported. Should I be cautious on this car and any advice on anything. Thanks and also should I bargain him more.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Dan. It is a little risky to buy a rental car because you know that people don’t usually drive the cars carefully. It is a good idea to have a mechanic to check the vehicle to make sure that there are no problems with the car. The loan reported on Carfax is for the previous owner, everything should be fine if the guy that is selling the car has the title on hand.

For a 2008 Hyundai Sonata 4C GLS with 12,000 miles, prices range from $13,850 (being in above average condition) to $12,850 (being in average condition) and $11,850 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,250 to 15,400.

With the prices above we can see that the asking price for the 2008 Hyundai Sonata that you are looking for is good. Below are some prices that No-Haggle dealers are selling the new 2009 Hyundai Sonata.

If you’d like to research more Hyundai Tucson prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com. As for the 2008 Honda CR-V, I’m waiting for a new batch of CR-V deals. I’d rather wait for the ripe ones instead of the older ones. Thanks for your patience.

Now here’s what to do with those Hyundai prices:  Print out all the blue links and take them with you to New Jersey’s Hyundai dealerships as proof that the prices your asking for didn’t fall out of the sky.

Ask to talk to the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Better yet, call and make an appointment to see him/her first. If they don’t believe you, ask to use one of their computers so they can see for themselves. It’s impossible for them to doubt your prices because you’re pulling up another Hyundai dealership’s website and checking their inventory. How can their website lie?

Expect them to doubt you at first because they may not want to deal with the fact that you’re killing their commission. If no one wants to work with you, that’s their loss. Go to another dealership. Here’s the 2008 Hyundai Tucson Crash Test & Rollover Ratings. If you or your friends/family have any car price questions, please don’t hesitate to ask our team of experts. Best of luck!
