Beware this ad, however. Anytime you see a stock number next to a car ad, just trust me, there are dealership games afoot.
Also, there are two Accents advertised, one just under 14k, and the tad under 10k one - let me just say that the under 10k one is a stripper as in 'old school.'
Right now, you can get an Elantra for around 13.5k, which is a lot more car for the money, and has proven reliable according to Consumer Reports. It also gets nearly as good fuel economy as the Accent.
OP's link is to Glenn Auto Mall in Lexington, KY There's a dealer just south of the Washington DC area that has one of these for $8,950 MalloyAutoMall - Woodbridge VA
I bought a Sonata from them last year for $14,500. What sold me on Hyundai was 1) Safety ratings 2) Customer satisfaction/warranty 3) LEGROOM (I'm over 6ft and I can sit in the back seat with the seat in front of me all the way back and still not touch it with my knees!) 4) gas mileage and 5) price

I really apologize for going OT here, but have you had any issues with your Sonata, Merlin? Specifically, have you had suspension issues?

Thanks.
None so far Jesse (knocks on wood).
Thanks.
To everyone else, check out Randall Noe Hyundai in Texas. I've found they have the best prices by far, and they advertise in the Dallas Morning News.
And no, I really have zero affiliation with them. I don't own a Hyundai nor work at any level in the auto biz. I only know about them because of a friend whose father owns a few dealerships.

I agree on the Elantra. Bought one for our daughter last summer with most of the bells and whistles (no leather) for $13k out the door.
We've owned 3 Hyundai's (XG350L & 1 Sonata & 1 Elantra) over the last 5 years -- all rock solid with great gas mileage and we've put noting in them but routine maintenance costs. Used to love my Toyota's and Honda's, but I have to admit -- dollar for dollar -- I'm hooked.

Nice find Merlin -- I have added your link to the post.
Hyundai has really become something over the years. They keep getting more and more respect. I wonder how much longer they'll be offering their fabulous warranty.
The problem is that once a car climbs over 30k in price, image and status become part of the equation. Every review I have seen of the Genesis says it redefines the quality a 35k car can be and compares favorably with much more expensive vehicles as well. People just have a hard time paying that much for a "value" brand name. Toyota succeeded not only because their Lexus vehicles were excellent but they differentiated them significantly from the "value" Toyota brand name and provided a "Better" dealer experience (e.g. not having to rub elbows with common peons driving Camrys).
Upscaling without that market differentiation doesn''t work. For example, Mazda dumped their plans for the Amanti luxury brand and dealer network. They just released their first "Amanti" vehicle (the Millenia) under the Mazda name - the vehicle was much better than the base Mazda but failed to draw buyers who saw the car as too "pricey" to be a Mazda.
Didnt Mazda dropped Millenia way back in 2002 for US Market? The Millenia uses a Miller Cycle Powerplant that breaks down and is expensive to repair. Mazda doesnt have a luxury contender in US. Anyways their cars are slitely more expensive than honda and Toyota. And they are more focused in the sporty and stylish cars.
Kia makes the Amanti. hyundai owns Kia.
Suzuki will have luxury car also. Looks Slick!
I agree that a $36K rear-drive v8 hyundai isnt what everybody wants when they could get a rear-drive Infiniti g35(smaller and V6) for $35k.
It's a good deal and I would recommend if you are on a budget. I own an Elantra for 8 years now, just out of their 100k warranty; no problems, just regular maintenance, good gas mileage, car still drives and looks fine, reliable. 4 years back we bought a second hand Accent for under 3K, to commute on small distance. Initially we were thinking that we are happy if it will last one year without problems... but now it is 4 already and still drives every day.
I've bought three new Sonatas over the years (2003 2006 2008) and they are solid cars and one of the best deals dollar for dollar. Test drive a Hyundai before you plunk down your money on something else. I'm just hoping Hyundai is catching the Nissian sell off fever and with this post my dreams might becoming true. Like one reviewer on the net said about Hyundai "If I was the competition I'd be very worried."
