Cars.Overstock.com has the 2010 Hyundai Sonata I4 Auto GLS Base for $13,982 which is $6,638 off MSRP. This is $1K less than the last deal. Get a car comparable to the likes of camry and accord for the price of yaris.
davelin83 said: FYI, the model year 2011 Sonata is the redesigned one. hence this deal. the new sonata looks really nice, but will probably be $5K more for a comparably equipped one. hard to go wrong either way...both are a great value.
plus it is showing a $2500 customer incentive - is that a rebate? are there other costs involved. i guess there is tax. i didnt know about this feature from overstock, thanks.
oh, i see. they are figuring in the rebate. the base price is $16,482 and then minus the $2500 incentive. this is very tempting.
i like the elantra touring for about the same price too - $13,820. very tempting indeed.
Wow. Very good deal. I had a 2009 Sonata GLS as a rental (it had some sort of convenience package with a power driver's seat and a sunroof) and I was actually very impressed. The ride is definitely not as smooth as a Camry, but w/ 25K miles on crappy stock tires, I was willing to overlook it.
Drag doesn't mean everything, but it is interesting to see. Plus, I much prefer the design of YF Sonata than Camry's.
As for the differences between EF Vs. YF Sonatas, it is said that YFs are leaps batter than EFs on all aspects.
That's funny. A race between two fairly big, non-HO 4-cylinder, FWD, auto-trans cars? lol
My wife has the 4 cylinder Camry and it's a great car for what it is. You're not winning any races in it though. If it takes the Sonata that long to catch and pass it, then that's not real impressive.

You're mistaken. There is a transcript of that clip posted somewhere. After the race, the driver/racer says that only in 1st gear Camry has an upper hand. Starting in 2nd to the rest, he says that Sonata's torque overtakes Camry easily or something similar to that note.
Anyway I agree that you're not going to race in these cars, but it seems interesting to point out.
There are people posting on Edmunds and other forums of getting new 2009 models (yes, they still are sitting on dealer lots, apparently) for under 12k (auto GLS's) and 2010 Sonatas for under 13,500 (auto GLS's).
It varies by region and dealer.
Apparently, the 2011s are in demand and the 2010s, not so much.

Seems like pretty good pricing. About $4k off Honda Accords in my local papers. How are they able to do this?. It said this was the lowest price from 18 certified dealers in the entire state of Ca. If your in the market for a car, it's prolly cheaper to buy new and get a decent resale value back down the road. That is if you choose a brand that holds it's resale value. Hot deal, thanks OP. Now if everybody only had a job!

Well guys believe it or not, sonata you can get for same price from dealer. I own one, it was bought in 2007 for $14K. all i had to do was to haggle on price a lot with dealer. They finally gave it to me. My friend got it for same price last year. So be prepared to do intense negotiation and dealer will sell it around $14K. But over all its a good deal. The car quality is good, no problems till date.

$17000 for a Honda accord is a terrific deal, I'd go with that. I've got a 1995 Honda Accord with 202,000 miles, doesn't burn any oil, no major repairs at all (muffler, CV joints, otherwise only maintenance).
jmace57 said: I guess they must be selling well in Houston...same model showing as $17,282 on overstock.
for 2011 or did you change it to 2010?
thats what it shows for 2011 in NJ, but change it to 2010 and it starts at 12835 for the manual.
and +1 for the other Hyundai positive comments. I've ended up with them twice as rentals the last couple years. 1 elantra and 1 sonata. Both times left me rather impressed. They arent perfect and fall a little short in some refinement areas compared to current toyota/honda like more road noise, maybe a bit noisier engine, perhaps some driving dynamics, but other then that, they seem to be VERY solid well put together cars these days....pretty much everything Toyota used to be. You know...those toyotas of the late 80's and early 90's that had a degree of lightness/cheapness to em, but at the same time still felt very solid with no squeaks and rattles and such. The interiors are probably what surprised me the most. Seems like about any car these days has cheap aspects to the interior, and you can almost always find weak spots with flexy potentially squeaky plastic, random cheap feeling knobs and such, etc. While the actual plastic/material quality on those Hyundais are nothing special, I went as far really pressing around all over the place and really had trouble finding any weak/overly cheap feeling areas. I'm still not over the stigma enough to buy one myself yet (although this one would certainly be worth doing so if I was in the market right now), but they def seem to be good cars these days.

when i price out the 2010 Accord LX-P vs a Sonata GLS there is a big difference...
For my zip code: 2010 Accord LX-P ($20,166) $3300 off MSRP vs a Sonata GLS ($14,678) Popular 2 package, Floor mats, Ipod cable $6,700 off MSRP
Just out of curiosity, I called and spoke to a saleman who said you have to add mats and destination charge, bringing the price of either the manual or automatic up to $14,8xx.
There are dealers selling these cars for less than this with the destination and other quoted equipment (either base GLS or Popular Equipment Package) for less).
It looks to me that destination charge is included. Am I reading it wrong? HOW YOUR PRICE WORKS
Your price relative to invoice applies to cars in stock for this model and trim. If you choose additional options, your price relative to invoice WILL NOT CHANGE. Additional options increase the invoice price, so your selling price may increase. Your Certified Dealer will show you the invoice for the car you choose. This lets you confirm that your price relative to invoice is correct. Your price INCLUDES: Destination and all other manufacturer fees plus applicable incentives. Your price DOES NOT INCLUDE: Dealer documentation (processing), tax, DMV, registration, title, license, other government fees, or dealer installed accessories. Navigation/Limited Availability packages and Diesel/Hybrid engines may be priced differently.

You're reading it correctly, but try telling that to the salesman I spoke with at Wayne Hyundai.
I guess if I pressed the issue, they'd have to honor the price, including the destination charge built in, as it's a guaranteed price through Overstock.com, and I've received their price certificate.

More torque and HP with better MPG, you can't beat that. Don't know how their reliability is, though. Had owned a Hyundai in the early 2000, I wasn't impressed at all and had regreted buying it. Now, I am owning a 6yo lexus, and don't have a complaint. But want some change, and this 2011 Sonata is the second of my list. I'd probably wait and see how their used value would be in about couple years.
Just got a call-back from a dealer in NJ (I'm in NY) and they are able to sell @ the $13.982 price but what is interesting and this should be noted they have already taken the $2500 rebate off to get to this price. So take that iinto consideration or you might overlook a good deal. Also there is a $500 rebate for current Hyundai owners & all that is necessary is the reg.

contact their internet sales manager, not a regular salesman for the best price.

Beware the tax "Credit". That is the maximum credit available and not everyone (Depends on your specific tax finances, income etc.) will get 100% of the credit. We bought a Civic Hybrid a few years ago (Love it), but was disappointed when taxes came due we did not get the full 100% credit.

Huh? What am I mistaken about? The point was that they're both relatively slow cars and performance is kind of a silly thing to focus on. As far as how long it takes the Sonata to overtake the Camry in the "race" (being very generous with the term), again not a particularly impressive feat. It takes about 12 out of 22 seconds overall to overtake. As I said, I have the 4 cylinder Camry and I can say from first-hand experience that its off-the-line performance isn't going to impress anyone. The fact that it gets the jump on the Sonata at all really is kind of sad. lol I think that I could load up my F250 with rock and still take the Camry. Between it and my BMW or any other sort of performance car it would be an immediate and distant memory. Not downing the Sonata or the Camry, both nice cars and especially for the money, but the video kind of makes it look a lot more significant than it is otherwise. Kind of like comparing the relative performance of a turtle versus a snail.

Been quoting on Sonata GLS suto 2010 and 2011 model for a while. It seems the market is so good here at Houston, I've been seeing quoted price $4000~$6000 higher than that of NY.
