All:

I'm looking to buy an '06 Sonata GLS V6 before the end of
this year. According to Hyunadi's collateral I can add
options such as, a moonroof, power driver's seat, 6 CD
changer and the interior metallic trim as opposed to the
fake wood [available on black cars with the grey cloth
seats]. I have two questions in this regard:

1. As today is December 15th, when is the best day in
December to buy the above vehicle? This coming
weekend? Xmas Eve? The last day of the year? In
short, when will the dealers be at their most desperate
to strike a deal and move the car from their lot at a
price which is most advantageous to me?

2. I have heard stories of people walking out with a
GLS V6 for as low as $17K. Is that really possible?
I live in Dallas, TX, and a couple of Internet quotes
I have received are in the $19.5K ballpark whereas
Consumer Reports' "Bottom Line Price" [from which
one should start negotiating] is $21,142.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Smethwickman

I went to Randell Noe Hyundai in Tarrell.

I paid $18,100 for a new 2006 Sonata LX base

got $2000 rebates and about $3500 dealer markdown

The finance guy will try to sell you a pre-install passive alarm. Just say no and start walking.

you'll get it for free.

Good luck
David

If you have not bought yet, consider logging on to Las Vegas' Plant Hyundai. I am sure they can beat that $17K you mentioned because they are Vegas and they are a high volume dealer who sells, sells, and sells.
