    I was quoted a price of $19,6** for a 2007 Sonata SE fully loaded. I
    live in NYC. Is this a good price or should I try to work it down some
    more. Please don't tell me to wait for the '08 since I need the car
    almost now.

    Under dealer invoice??? Depending on the engine, the Sonata SE (2007)
    MSRP's for $19,245 to $22,095. The OP does not mention the engine size or
    what "fully loaded" mean. He could be looking at a good deal, or he could
    be looking at MSRP. Never expect that a dealer is willing to lose $3,000
    just to sell you a car.

    I totally agree about the 3000 loss but if you look at Towne's website
    they are offering Sonatas at 3500 under invoice or 4000 w/ the 500
    loyalty program. In fact they claim under invoice for all but the new
    Veracruz. If nothing else it's a good reference for dealing with a
    local dealer who claims they will match any price.
    The SE is only available with the 3.3 6. Adding premium package, floor
    mats and mud guards comes to an invoice of 22825 with an MSRP of 24205.

    Selling under invoice is a long established dealer scam. Dealers will sell
    at a loss sometimes depending on other factors that will or may affect the
    total value of the deal, but no dealer is simply going to sell at $3000
    under their invoice. They'd never recoup that loss over the life of the car
    in the service bay. Certainly Hyundai will comp the dealer on the back end,
    but in all likelyhood what is really happening is that you are never really
    seeing the dealer's real invoice.

    Not according to the site you posted the link for yesterday. That's the
    site where I got my numbers from.

    According to the website for Towne they are 1500 under invoice and 2000
    rebate to get the 3500. If you check Fitzmalls site it's approx 3000
    under invoice. Again you are right about selling at 3000 under dealer
    cost but... cost does not necessarily equal invoice. Obviously, the
    dealers cost does not reflect the invoice price. Fitzmall has two
    prices "delivered internet" (this would be what an out of state buyer
    would pay to get the car and never see the dealer again) and "Delivered
    value price" (which would be for a lifetime loaner and a buyer
    protection plan). Both of these prices are below factory invoice. Not
    a shill for any dealer just trying to say that you can get below invoice
    by a sizable amount if willing to travel or negotiate hard.
    I linked to two sites the "Sonata prices paid" site on Edmunds and the
    Towne "internet special" site. Neither was concerned with the specs of
    the SE. When I stated "The SE is only available with the 3.3 6. Adding
    premium package, floor mats and mud guards comes to an invoice of 22825
    with an MSRP of 24205" that info wasn't sourced but my source was
    http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/hyundai/sonata/100831095/optionsresults.html?action=2
    According to the HyundaiUSA site the SE only comes with the V6.

    I'm glad to have satisfied you then. Too bad you did not read the entire
    interchange on this point instead of jumping in the middle of a conversation
    to express yourself on what was a small part of a conversation.
