They are the # 4 dealer in the USA This is the order of largest dealers in the USA 1. Atlantic Hyundai West Islip, NY 2. New Port Richie Hyundai New Port Richie FL 3. Brad Benson Hyundai NJ 4. Lester Glen NJ Atlantic Hyundai is right on Long Island so it is relatively close to the NJ area if you are looking for a real low price.

Sorry about the late reply. I should visit more often. I got the links at BENSON Autoparts in the Ottawa area and yes, they were $30 tax included.

I think so too...

gagrice. I think we're gonna be hearing a blockbuster announcement from Fo-Mo-Co pretty soon that details out some mindbending moves. Like down here by me only further south even more! Take production to Mexico completely. Make corporate personnel involved in production move. Heck, Aqua Prieta is a Mexican city only about 80 miles south of us here in Willcox, AZ. They're right on the USA-Mexico border, Douglas, AZ, is the town on the American side. But Ford could build a huge factory there and the workers could live in Douglas if they still wanted to live in the U.S. Or even drive the 70-80 miles south down there from Willcox, Benson or a city like Sierra Vista. Key to this is busting the UAW's and hiring Mexicans to do the bulk of the production work. And save on wages immensely. It's time to bust up Ford's involvement with the UAW's. Ford is the only American automaker I respect. I don't want them to fail. Moving production fully to Mexico, hiring Mexican workers to mix in with some Americans already working for Ford, and busting up the UAW Union should be prime raspbery jelly donut and Seattle's Best coffee fodder at this point in time during major-mover Ford meetings. They need to wake up and smell the beans now, though. Warren Buffett and his 10% ownership of Chinese BYD will only keep panting down American carmaker's collective necks. If the BYD e6 is anything like they advertise...all electric propulsion with a range of 249 miles on one charge, and the movement slowly is towards all-electric vehicles, Ford will need much lower labor costs to compete. The Chinese and Japanese and perhaps even VW will eat them for lunch if they don't make some changes. Another BO bailout should be out of the question completely, too. The first one still gleams as a ridiculous move. But I spose my point is that Ford is still alive and I actually like the Ford Fusion Hybrid. I like it's production systems and I like it's body design. Who can forget that on April 28, 2009, a Ford Fusion Hybrid wsa driven 1,445.7 miles on a single tank of gas! That worked out to a whopping 81.5mpg! Does anyone else besides me get excited about this? Or is larsb from Phoenix, AZ, and iluvmysephia1 from Willcox, AZ, the only "green car" fans on the Edmunds website? Is this an Arizona thing? gagrice, are you impressed by that Ford Fusion Hybrid test at all?

but the story was a great one ... There's more, some of these Benson Mazda complaints make for great reading material. I am ROFL; Horrible Service: This was the absolute worst dealership I've ever tried to do business with. I was blatently lied to and talked around in circles in order to get me to put a deposit down on a car they knew they could not get. I was treated rudely and the sales manager hung up on me and would not return my calls meanwhile the whole time they have a $500 deposit of mine. And in the end I missed out on getting the car I wanted because they had me locked into a deal that they couldnt come through on. It was by far the most horrible dealership I've ever dealt with in my life. I would strongly recommend not even getting involved with these people. It was nothing but a headache and I'm still not sure when I will receive my $500 deposit back Or, how about...... Worst Sales Represtitive I've Dealt With: As this dealership does not post prices on thier used vehicles I would find it easier to have my teeth yanked out of my head than to get a honest answer for what they are asking. They would not release any information without taking my personal information nor would give a sticker value for the vehicle but only attempted to finace the vehicle at a monthly payment close to my range. In an attempt to politely request a sticker value the sales representitive proceeded to tell me I had a bad attitude and told my girlfriend she does a bad job dealing with me. He would not open the vehicle to even look inside unless I agreed to purchase it. This dealerships sales techniques (games) were a complete joke and I highly recommend entering prepared to be hounded by dishonest sales representitives as soon you arrive. Well, not quite as funny as the first but at least the grammar is better in these posts. Benson Mazda

Ad by a Hyundai dealer states 30% off the sticker of any new Hyundai in stock I wanted to find out more so I looked around and found this about 30% off on Hyundais. This is a riot, and there were other disturbing posts too; dealer reviews My Review of Benson Mitsubishi Hyundai: Brad benson is not the right dealer. 1)They advertise as 30% off posted dealer price.I looked at Santa Fe and the dealer price is 3$6,000. Wooooow what a scam. Roughly $8000 above MSRP. If you ask about 30%, they will say that you don't qualify because you are not from military. 2)The sales associate told all kinds of stories when i asked about the manufacturer rebates, I insisted hard and sat there arguing for one hour until i got the manufacturer rebates 3)Sales associates tried to steer me towards monthly payments which is a big scam by itself. Oh by the way DON'T walk into the dealership without cash or a preapproved loan. They do so many scams with the financing. 4)Sales person asked me to sign on the paper that I am buying a car today just to hypnotize me as i was negotiating with him too much and he plays all sorts of tricks like a) How would you drive to work if you don't buy the car today?.. yaa right b) Somebody walks by and says, if you don't buy the car, there is one more customer who likes this car and he will buy it. I stood up and said Give it him and tried to walk away and my sales assoicate came back begging to come back to the negotiation table. 6)Don't go with the kids.Look for friends who can negotiate well, atleast 2 friends.Be prepared to negotiate atleat 2-3 hours on the price, so DON'T GO with the KIDS and have 2 FRIENDS with you. 7) Don't tell about trade-in until you are satisfied with the price. Do your research on trade-in and don't trade-in until you get a good deal on trade-in. You can always sell by yourself. 8) Most important don't get into the discusssion of monthly payments. Negotiate until you get a good price, Avoid taking loan from them. 9)Research on the internet on hyuundai's website about the manufacturer rebates, the MSRP, financing information and take a printout and be ready to show the printouts, as I was shown OLD printouts which had different information.. Wooow what a scam. 10)FINALLY BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY FROM THE STORE IF YOU DON'T LIKE INTO WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. There are other hyundai dealers too. Have a Plan-B. 11) BOTTOM LINE, They are there to make maximum amount of money and they don't care to rip off your shirt if possible. By the way I had to stay 4 hours in the dealership 6:00pm - 10:00pm to get the best deal i think, i paid 24,500 for hyundai santafe LE 2008 model. Hope this helps.
