New York Hyundai Car Dealers

Thanks for the info. I talked to a friend and he said the same thing. He leases a Altima with zero down every three years and does virtually no repairs. The dealer adds make leasing seem so simple so I guess I will have to do a little more homework before I visit a dealer.

I have never leased a vehicle before and after reading all this stuff like money factors, residuals etc: I think it will be easier to just but a vehicle.

Just purchased my Sonata 2 weeks ago in NY and Edmunds was very helpful to me so thought I'd share my experience. I HATE negotiating at dealerships so I try to avoid that. I started by doing one of those online car services where I thought multiple dealers would email me with their best prices. Instead, 1 dealer called me. (That dealer then lied about the price to get me to go to the dealership. I immediately walked out.) Waste of time. Next I emailed 4-5 dealerships and told them I was going to buy a car in the next couple days and asked for their best price on the car I wanted. I told them I would buy from whomever gave the best price and would not be shopping prices. I believe 3 responded and 1 wanted me to come to the dealership and wouldn't give a price online or on the phone. I don't know if you are allowed to mention dealerships on here, but if you search for hyundai in Bath or Big Flats, NY you will likely get a place that I found puts a good price right on their website. That is the same price they emailed me as their best price. I didn't end up buying from them because they didn't have the exact one I wanted, but that is the kind of dealership I like. I ended up with a 2012 SE turbo. Extras: Navigation, white paint, mud flaps, cargo net, ipod cord, wind deflector, and floor mats for $27,431 OTD including 8% NYS tax. It had a sticker price of 28,930. Also got .9% for 3 years. It would have been 250 less, but the dealer didn't want to "harass" me to call and tell me that I had to buy that day to get the $500 financing rebate. They ended up "splitting" it with me and taking 250 off. I had no rebates. So far I have about 600 miles on it in two weeks. (Mostly Highway) I've been getting just under 30 mpg and always have it in eco mode. I am very happy with the car. It is beautiful inside and out. Some things I didn't know prior to purchasing: It doesn't have heated seats. I knew that but was very worried as I love heated seats. The SE has cloth/leather seats which I think look better than the leather and I don't miss the heated seats at all. Blue Link. As far as I'm concerned it is a piece of garbage. I briefly considered using the Blue link navigation instead of getting navigation installed. I watched a youtube video and realized that would be a huge mistake. It is waaaay to slow. I am very happy with the installed navigation system. You can use the navigation while driving.....VERY important to me and not an option with some brands. The touch screen works very well. I probably like the one in my Honda Pilot a little better, but might be just because I know where everything is and have to get used to this one. I was very worried about the upcharge for navigation because I saw very few reviews. So far I have been very happy. One thing I don't like is I don't know if you can put in the town first and then the street like my Honda. I think this one wants the street first so it comes up with way too many hits. Again, I might just be using it wrong. I was also ready to pay for the mid level Blue Link just to get the text messaging. I found out just after getting it that it is only good for sending messages!! What is the point? Every time I send a message the person is going to text back and then I can't read it? Bad job. The only other thing that I thought might be worth the blue link cost was the car starter. It doesn't even work yet so my free trial will likely be up before that gets going and I'm not paying for any of the other things it does. The thing that upsets me most about Blue Link is, from what I understand, they have to remove the Homelink mirror to put the Blue Link one on. The Homelink mirror has the garage door opener. I would MUCH rather have had that. All these features and it doesn't open the garage door? I had to turn the house upside down to find the remote for the garage door opener. The clip is too tight for the sun visor so I can't push it all the way on. FAIL. Other items: I don't care for the steering wheel buttons. I believe they were poorly thought out. My Honda has buttons in easy reach of my thumbs right where my hands naturally rest. They are too high on the Sonata and were not well thought out. For example, the volume button is closer to the outside of the steering wheel than the channel changer. I'd think most people change the channel way more than the volume. The cruise buttons are also not logically placed and I spend as much time looking on the steering wheel for what to push as I would using regular dials on the radio. I wish they were as easy to reach as the paddle shifters which I am never going to use. Visibility is not as good as my Pilot. (I didn't expect it to be) but it is worse than I thought it would be. The side view mirrors are small and the non-window parts of the car seem more obstructive than they should be. Finally, there is a little more road noise than I would like. I can hear the rocks hitting the bottom of the car sometimes. It could have been a little better insulated. Thats all I can think of right now. I know it seems like I said a lot of bad things, but I really like the car and am thrilled just walking to it after work. It is a pleasure to drive. I just wanted to point out the things that I didn't notice before buying. I highly recommend the Sonata (after 600 miles) and at this point would definitely buy it again.

Hi I know Ive asked this before, well sort of but my question is that if you are from the northeast areas, anywhere around ny. please tell me for how much you bought your car for, where did you buy it what dealership and all the details. what year and what model.
