Arkansas Hyundai Car Dealers

Good price. Was that a Costco or other group deal? Can you tell us the dealer? I'm in San Diego and am starting to look at the Sonata. Enjoy your ar. Thanks.

Hey Ken, Thx. But I believe in time that Hyundai will hopefully gave the Genesis sedans incentives, rebates and low interest-rates (0.9% to 3.9%) like their SUV's (Tucson, Santa Fe and VeraCruz) due to high gas prices and our country poor economy. The Hyundai dealerships of southern / mid-west US states (AL, TN, MS, LA, OK, NM, AR & TX) are now receiving these incentives. soon throught-out the entire country.

Since tax and license can't be negotiated, I always suggest keeping them out of the negotiating process. They should simply be added on at the very end, once a purchase agreement has been reached. As I've posted here dozens of times before, negotiate your purchase price first. These days, you should be able to buy a 2007 Santa Fe for $1000 - $1500 under invoice with no problem. These numbers are BEFORE factoring in rebates, taxes, and registration fees. So, if a particular car has an M.S.R.P. of $29,975 and an invoice of $28,134, you should be able to buy it for somewhere between $26,634 and $27,134. ADD to that tax and registration. From that total SUBTRACT all rebates that you qualify for. (Rebates, taxes, and registration vary considerably from state-to-state. That's why it doesn't make sense to try to analyze whether a deal is good or bad if the only number we can see is the bottom line which takes them all into account. The only consistent basis for comparison is the initial purchase price, before factoring in those other variables.) One other thing - many dealers try to add things like "dealer fees", processing fees", etc. My advice is to simply tell them that you won't pay them. All they are is extra profit that they try to tack on after the deal is made. As for the so-called "advertising fees", these may be tougher to avoid. In most cases, the dealer actually does pay this money into an advertising co-op. Since you're negotiating from invoice (and not M.S.R.P.), the number is usually added to the invoice (which explains why the invoice shown by the dealer is sometimes higher than what's shown here ar Edmunds.com). Fitzmall, for example, pays $150/vehicle for advertising fees. If you compare their invoice pricing with Edmunds', you'll see a $150 difference every time. If you're negotiating a deal based on $XXX under invoice, it's reasonable to include the ad fees in the purchase price.

and after checking, south central did away with the loyalty program (al, ms, la, ar, tx, ok, and nm).

MSRP was $28,080 plus appearance package (which I didn't want)for a total of $29,775. Included touring package, premium package, carpeted floor mats, and mud flaps, plus full tank of gas. After rebates and trade-in I paid a total of $21,693. I did the finance thing but will pay that off without penalty ASAP. The vehicle was hard to come by, as I wanted all of the above bells and whistles, but I did not want leather seats, and I had a specific color I wanted as well. The dealer searched the entire country, as most with all of the options I wanted automatically have the leather seats. My trade in was a '99 Quest, 120,000 miles, not in the best of shape. Kent Dobbs Hyundai in NW Arkansas worked very hard for me...good people. They are located in Springdale, AR, and soon will be opening another lot in Bentonville, AR. Their service department is top rated, as is their customer service.
