Find Hyundai Dealers in Black, Alabama

Just got a 2012 Elantra GLS A/T yesterday in Blue Sky Metallic with Preferred Package, Carpeted Floor Mats, Cargo Net, Cargo Tray and Tan Pinstriping (it was already on the car or I would've opted out) for $19500 out the door (TTT and fees: $599 dealer fee, tax was 7% and new tags, title etc cost $400). Considering there is no cap on dealer fees, nor really any way around them here in FL (I've see most dealer fees in the $529-$799 range) plus many of them not budging from MSRP and that Edmuds TMV for the area shows $18490 before TTT and fees I'd say we got a pretty good deal. I had literally been trying for WEEKS calling about a dozen dealerships in all parts of FL, AL and as far away as the Northeast and none of them would come close to that price on a 2012 or 2011, even without the Preferred Package. Lowest price I could get otherwise without any add-ons was $19,900 out the door. At first the dealership I went through was going to offer me a base A/T in black for around the same price, but when I said no dice on the black car (because it's blazing hot here in FL and I didn't want to par-boil in the car) and said I'd be there TODAY if they gave me the same deal on another lighter color they came back to me with this one with the extra add-ons. In all it took 5 days of negotiating and back and forth phone calls. The limbo was partly the dealer checking on pricing and taking hours to get back to me and partly me trying to check around for better pricing, which never panned out. The salesman we dealt with was professional and honest the whole way through. Once we were in the office there was absolutely no pressure. Even the Finance Manager was terrific (we had financing and cash all set ahead of time). The entire process was quick, easy and surprisingly relaxed. I had test driven the 2011 Chevy Cruze, the 2012 Ford Fiesta and Focus and wasn't impressed. And the only car that would've been cheaper would've been the Cruze and if I put my son's carseat (base and carrier) behind either of the front seats someone would be pushed up into the dashboard... not good! The Elantra has just the right amount of room to be comfy and not squished. Drove it home last night and loving it ever since. I've heard the light blue isn't as popular and maybe that's why I got a decent deal, but either way I'm super happy with it. Can't wait to save on gas! Wishing all of you many safe and gas-sipping miles in your new Elantras! ;)

It appears there will be few changes. Can anyone confirm the Carbon Grey color is being discontinued ? Has anyone seen the titanium color? I believe the Titanium is between the silver and carbon grey in darkness??? BTW So far the silver roof rack looks strange on most colors vs. black! Will production for 2011 ETs be stepped up a lot over 2010s? 2010's are about gone where I am...

We're considering buying a 2008 Santa Fe Limited FWD service loaner with just under 8K miles - khaki exterior, black leather interior, no navigation, no touring package, from a dealer in Tuscaloosa, AL. Price from dealer is $23,312, OTD ($22K car + TTL), with full new-car factory warranty; the loaner has not been titled before. Checked Carfax for lemon law/manufacturer recall report - both clean. I haven't mentioned our trade-in yet; wanted to see what dealer's lowest price was first. We will be trading in a 2006 silver Camry LE, cloth seats, no sunroof, with 13,500 miles that we own outright; will not be financing the difference between the trade-in and the Santa Fe. Edmunds/KBB lists Camry trade in at about $14K ... Santa Fe OTD price: $23,312 Camry trade in: $14,000 Current difference: $ 9,312 Anyone have thoughts on the lowest difference we might could get the dealer down to? My husband wants to offer "around $8K" and see how low the dealer will go. Much appreciated!

In post #260 on this thread, I happily reported the details of my 06 Limited, black, with beige leather. Last week my wife got rear-ended and the car is totaled. Sooo....I am back in the market. We are certain of only one thing. We are getting another Santa Fe. Looking through the thread it appears the 07 is substabtially more than the 06 and the rebate is substantially less. My main question is this - for those of you with the touring package - if the seats are folded down, how is the storage capacity? We don't want the third row seating, but if it is all we can find we would take it. We would rather have the storage space though. Also, I am in Alabama and willing to go anywhere within 5-6 hours to find the right car. If you know of a great dealer (or one to avoid) within the very wide borders of Jackson, MS to Huntsville, AL, to Atlanta down to Orlando, let's hear it.

Yes, it is available on other colors other than the Platinum Edition Sonata. The reason some people claim they do not exist is because they are rare. I did a locate for my own curiosity the other day and found perhaps ten in the entire nation with black on black, most were in New York! It's sort of like the AWD versions of the S.F. and Tucson here in the South - practically nonexistant! I have to locate them in another state for my customers. Those are allocated to dealers up north and out west. But because they are out there doesn't mean a dealer can always get one from another dealer. Sometimes the dealer with the car won't let go because they know they have the advantage. Supply and demand...the same thing will happen the first couple months when the Veracruz comes out.
