Oregon Hyundai Car Dealers

Hiya Car_man, Wanting to lease a 2012 Tucson GLS FWD with automatic transmission for 36 OR 48 months.. can you tell me the residual value and money factor? Thank you so much!

I went to Sheppard Hyundai in Eugene, OR and selected a black on black Gen 3.6 with Premium and Tech. MSRP was $44,030. I asked if they would sell it to me for the Zag.com price of $37,654 and they agreed, although they remarked that they "wouldn't be making a nickel" on the transaction. Perhaps the fact that we are nearing month and year-end had something to do with it, but I think that a $6,376 discount is phenomenal. That's 14.7% off of sticker. Only other charge was $77 for title fee and $75 to transfer my license plates and register the car. Outstanding! This is a perfect example of what Hyundai has been preaching… lots of value for the dollar. When I drove the 125 miles home yesterday I was extremely well pleased with the car. It handles beautifully, is quieter than the Lexus and goes like a rocket ship with its 333 hp engine - and the factory specifies regular gas! Tomorrow I plan to read all the manuals and learn how to run all the many gadgets on it. The topping on the cake today was when I looked carefully at the black noir paint in the sun today, I discovered that it is actually metallic and has flecks of gold in it. Beautiful! Next week I am having the 3M rock protection film applied for $659. I had planned to spend another $1,000 for chrome wheels, but the factory wheels look so bright I might just save that cash instead. Only other plan is to replace the trunk and steering wheel logos. I'd like to think I am doing that for general appearance, but I think it is mostly in the hope that I won't have to explain to everyone why I bought a Hyundai. If I do, I'll tell them that this car is quicker, quieter, handles better and has more fancy options than my $65,000 Lexus LS430. Only negative is that it has a firmer ride, but I can get used to that. I think I read somewhere in the forum that one owner tells those who inquire about his de-badged Gen that it is an entry level Bentley. Think I'll try that. Put me down as a very happy convert.

Just bought a 2012 Hyundai Elantra limited with tech package and paid BELOW invoice due to the following rebates being applied: - $500 motozuma - $400 college rebate Both the rebates come from Hyundai so it is no money out of the dealership. The challenge of course is to find a dealer (more specifically a person within the dealership) who is willing to sell at invoice. I had to drive 2 hours away but found one. No haggling nothing. Called him up and he offered invoice. Make sure to speak with the internet sales manager. They all know you're shopping around. Those that have been in the business for many years can either continue to play the haggling game OR realize that these are price sensitive buyers and at the right price the deal is done with a minimal of back and forth. Luckily I found such a sales manager. Would recommend to stay away from the lower level sales folks as they will have to run back and forth with someone higher up whether they can honor the deal, and additionally get paid for their sales commission which they will maximize. Ofcourse some will be more willing than others. If the dealership is located in a big city off a major highway and do tons of business, they could just easily sell the car at full MSRP (for a car like this some are satisfied not having to pay above MSRP). Instead of specific numbers focus on the term invoice VS MSRP. I did not play any games trying to get one dealer to undercut the other. I also made sure to cultivate the relationship. Made sure he knew I would now only deal exclusively with him. It helps if they have the car on the floor but even if they didn't you can still have them do a dealer trade. Your best bet is to find a low volume dealership (specifically a person) that is willing to do the extra leg work and willing to accept lower margins in return for a shot at higher volumes. Specifically try to look for an internet sales manager and call them up first, then you can do other correspondence by email once he says the magic word (invoice). Towards the end of the deal, he even said he was going to fill up the gas tank, without me asking. Never in the course of our discussion did I attempt to get him to add anything else to make the deal more lucrative or try to play any games. It was made clear at the onset of the relationship that this was going to be a straight up no-nonsense no games deal. On the other end, he did the same and did not try to sneak in any additional charges. The only time we talked money was the very first phone call when I was shopping around. I sensed he didn't like surprises so made sure to let him know that I'd be using the two rebates above and they money would come directly from hyundai and not from his profits. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with the least amount of hassle. I did try going the costco auto purchase route as well as the ZAG (amex) route but this was a much better deal than I was going to get with either of those two programs. Just like in any business (or personal) relationship, I felt the key is to find the right person, then spend time and effort to cultivate that relationship. Towards the end of the deal there is an opportunity for what some call the "sealant" or "cementer". I made it known that I have an interest in the ipod cable (an inexpensive item, really). Never asked that it be thrown in, but it did at no charge. Hints work great :) Ofcourse, in return he knows that I'm going back to him for my next car as well. Really a win-win for both parties overall I thought. Instead of looking at ways to split of the pie, look for opportunities to expand the pie (whatever that means). Will now refinance through my local credit union for better rate & term.

"The 18" tires and alloy rims are very expensive, one claim will pay for itself (my wife and I have terrible luck with tires)" You could have called your auto insurance company and covered the wheels for a TINY FRACTION of what the dealer charged you. And what does a tire cost - no more than $200.00? The $595.00 is a complete and total ripoff for 5 years of coverage. Who underwrites this coverage? The dealer or an insurance company? If an insurance company, WHO? What is their rating- "A","AA, or "AAA", OR LESS? The $299.00 is window etching of the VIN number? OK-somebody steals your car and parts everything out except for the windows. Another ripoff charge. Enjoy your new car - your happy that is all that matters.
