Maryland Hyundai Car Dealers

I forgot, use Costco or Amex or Zag car buying service with MD zip codes and you will get better pricing than NYC. Know of a person who got superb deal in NJ on an Altima which has up to 3150 in rebates plus dealers will knock off 1600-2000 additional.

I think you should see it as follows: 1. You asked 15 dealers and got todays low phone price. Seems like a reasonable price given the ease at which you can get "Internet Pricing" these days 2. To get a better deal you have to go to the dealers start negotiating and then be willing to walk out on them (telling them you have other options). Bring your phone research and show it to them so they know you have done your homework and are willing to go elsewhere. 3. Come up with a price you like ( go lower than your think is acceptable to them) 4. Negotiate from there Which dealer in MD/DC/VA gave you the lowest phone offer (would help me out as I too am in the market for the same car)?

Hey everyone... I just used the Fighting Chance program (www.fightingchance.com). I called 15 dealers within 30 miles (I'm in MD), and got an OTD proposal from 11 of them (4 refused to participate). My lowest offer was $19,600 (before taxes and fees), about $21,600 out the door. I got them down to $19,300 (before taxes and fees) for a total of $21,300 out the door. This is the basic Limited - no navi or homelink. Is this a pretty good deal?

I used hyundaiusa.com and requested internet quotes from all the Hyundai dealerships in the VA & MD area and I received responses from all of them. I did this because only 1 dealer responded to my EDMUNDS.com quick quote. I'm shopping for a 2012 GLS automatic with popular package, wheel locks, carpeted floor mats, cargo net and mud guards. I stated this in my quote request. I also stated I only wanted out-the-door prices. I got one or two email quoates that were not out the door and I responded that I only would deal in OTD quotes and they complied in their follow up emails. So far the lowest OTD quote for the above car that I have received is $21399.17 from a MD dealership. I live in VA and this price includes all fees and VA sales tax. My price will be $500.00 lower than this because I qualify for the loyalty credit since I own a 2006 Sonata. Since today is the last day of the month your chances are much better that a dealership will offer you their best deal. Back in 2006 I purchased a Sonata GLS V6 automatic that was stickered at $23K for $17K out the door. The dealership probably lost money on it (they had to go get it from a MD dealership) but I think they were desperate to make their number for the month because in the bigger picture, taking a small loss on my transaction probably allowed them to get some huge incentive from the Hyundai USA by meeting their sales number for the month.

Just bought a new (8 miles) Sonata GLS Auto with POP package, remote start factory installed (this option is very hard to find factory installed), cargo net, cargo mat, mud guards and all weather floor mats for $19,950 before taxes and fees from Fitzgerald in Gaitherburg, MD. Price includes a Hyundai $500 owner coupon and a Fitzgerald $50 referral coupon (wife car is a 2008 Hyundai Sonata also from Fitzgerald) and destination fee. Invoice + destination fee for the above is about $21,860. That makes it about $1900 under invoice. Dealer processing fee (extra) was $199. I believe MD limits it to $200 anyway. Everything else had to do with mandatory Maryland taxes. I got dinged about $200-300 less than what I was expecting on the trade in (this was after heavy negotiation and threatening to leave, the initial appraisal was $500 worse). The deal seem to be somehow close with the post #8107 considering all the extra options and coupons. Might be useful for people shoping in the Washington DC area to establish a beseline. Car manufactured 11/04 in Alabama, showed on the truck at dealer on 11/23. Seen it myself on 11/25 (Black Friday) but was no prepared yet for showing (still had dust from the transport on the paint) and I could not spend too much time in the delership as my toddler got bored realy quick. Emailed back anf forth with the sales man on 11/25 evening. Pulled a "certificate" from truecars.com (very important) that was matched over emails. Went back for test drive on 11/26 (now the car was looking very nice, prepared for show). I was the first one that tested it. While comming out of the test drive a different salesmen asked if I am stil interested as he has another client. Was ready to walk away as I do not like this kind of presure sales tactics. However I seen the "real person" with the Internet page open to the exact car I test drove. Aparently the "factory installed remote start" is quite a desirable option. Very litle bumps after that point. They insisted on a "soft credit pull" even I was not intereted in their financing and paid $1000 on a credit card (max allowed) and the rest with a personal check. I belive the truecars.com cetificate saved me at least $800 extra from what I could have done just thru "regular negociations".
