Assuming a GLS V6 with standard options, that's unbeatable. My local dealer
quoted me $500 over invoice for that car, which was around $19,500.

Actually got two, 02 Elantra GLS, and 03 Santa Fe LX, best prices, not
hassle or high pressure sales. LOVE IT !!!!
Service dept. is OK, fast and reliable, but a little bit in the high $$$,
guess you get what you paid for.

WHOOPS! I was wrong.
When pressed, my local dealer matched it to the penny. I was so stunned, we
cut the deal even though I wasn't even ready. My new Deepwater Blue GLS
should be ready by mid-week.

Re: Cost of a 2006 Sonata?
Victor: The Hyundai dealer says my 2003 Elantra GLS engine has a cracked
piston, and they are rebuilding the engine. We had regular Hyundai service
and only 36,000 miles on the car which had run great until this engine
failure occurred. Now I don't know whether to trust another Hyundai product
or not. I had been thinking of trading the Elantra in on the new 2006 Sonata
that has the V6 engine with timing chain rather than timing belt design. The
only negative comments I've seen on the new Sonata so far is that the V6 gas
mileage isn't as good as hoped, and that the throttle has a hesitation
response when first starting up from idle. The gas mileage is understandable
if the engine really gets a true 230 HP as claimed. The sluggish throttle
response will probably be fixed eventually by a modification of some kind
since the car has just been redesigned and needs to work out some bugs.
You say Hyundai service has been ok, but have you had any warranty work done,
or just routine maintenance? The jury is still out for me on my engine
warranty work, and it will depend a lot on the particular dealer's technician
skills since they are completely rebuilding the engine in the shop rather
than putting a new engine in the car. Also, even though there is no evidence
of improper maintenance, I'm waiting to see if they'll stand behind the power
train warranty or not.
Any comments from the forum would be appreciated. Thanks!, Bobweb

Actually Bob, I think it's better to wait and hear your comments after the
repair. Anything anyone else could offer at this time would be anecdotal,
or perhaps cautionary, or maybe even irrelevant. The proof is in the
pudding and we're waiting to see how your pudding tastes.
