I understand the hybrid I bought had a $500 OVER sticker offer made on it. Pearson, the largest Hyundai dealership in Richmond, VA , just got their first hybrid May 5th. I’m curious where you found the loaded Sonata hybrid w/ 12,000 miles. The .9% and 1.9% rates carry over until at least the end of May.

Check out True market pricing in Edmunds. For the options you are adding for SE - the price should be around 24k. You must negotiate hard on the accessories and base unit and bring it to less than that . Ask for 23k and you should get it between 23 and 24k. All the best. Cheers....

Okay, we went ahead with the deal after another last-second round of haggling. We live in Richmond, VA, and dealt with all the surrounding dealerships within ~100 miles. McGeorge gave us a $32,218 OTD price. We took that to everyone else. Fredericksburg and Stafford could neither beat nor match it (although Fredericksburg offered free manicure Wednesdays for life, lol). Haley were the nicest dealers, and we would've bought from them, but they could only get it down to $32,153 OTD. Mechanicsville gave us an OTD of $32k flat. We took that back to McGeorge, and they grudgingly said they would match it, so we went with them, since they are closest to us. Once we saw the vehicle today when we were just about to start signing everything, I noticed that it wasn't the original Sienna. We had agreed on a Cypress Pearl / Bisque interior, base XLE with floor mats, but I immediately noticed that 1) there were crossbars on the roofrack, and 2) the stock number was different. Turns out they sold the original Sienna, but were willing to give us this one instead for the same price. Turned out to work in our favor, as it meant throwing in the roofrack crossbars for free (~$300 value I think?). The vehicle had 3 miles on it, so I'm fairly sure they didn't do a bait-n-switch in any way that harmed us. So: McGeorge Toyota Richmond, VA XLE Floor Mats, Cross-bars on roof rack $32,000 OTD (VA tax = 3%, dealer fees = $395 + 62) Thanks for the opinions, we really appreciated them! Joe G.

Purchased possibly the first Hybrid Sonata in Virginia today from Fairfax Hyundai. Rode an Amtrak train from nearby Danville, Va. To Manassas this morning - it was 3 hrs. late due to storm damage in Alabama - took a half mile test drive to fill up the car, did the paperwork, $26,700 (Pac 1) plus $389 processing, and drove back to Southside Virginia mostly via Route 29. Drove about 30 miles on I 66 first. On this "green" vehicle I got an amazing 47.5 MPG from NOVA to my carport, just over 250 miles. Very little AC. Trip computer indicates an almost 400 mile range still remaining. Having previously owned a 1st gen Highlander Hybrid for 4 years helped me improve MPG skills. The Hyundai’s displays also make it easy to raise the MPG. And this is a strong hybrid system. My eco score began at 1 in NOVA and ended up a 14 at home. The Fairfax dealership is 25 years old and sells about 300 cars per month. Also got a call from a Greensboro, NC (100 units monthly) dealership Thursday. They got notification of 2 Sonata hybrids “on the truck.” Pearson, the big outfit in Richmond, was still waiting when I talked with them midweek. Nationwide you can get .9% and 1.9% on 36 and 48 months respectively so basically another home run for Hyundai, IMO. This brand is on fire what with the Japanese situation and increasing demand for higher mileage cars. I'm predicting this sporty Sonata Hybrid will be popping up all over shortly.

You can submit a review about your dealership over at the Dealer Ratings and Reviews module and it'll probably be seen by more Google and Bing searchers that way. Dealer Ratings and Reviews. Next time look at your owner's manual or the Edmunds Car Maintenance Guide and spell out what you want done up front. If the service writer calls with advice on more stuff to do, do a net search and call the dealer back in an hour. Dealers always try to cut rotors when pads are replaced because the new pads will usually be noisy for a while until the pad surfaces break in and match the existing rotors. Turning (or replacing) rotors cuts down on consumer complaints. At least that's the story I've heard a lot; you could check with Acura and see if that's a "mandated" step for some reason. Shop around, maybe there's an independent mechanic in your area that has a good reputation.
