You get yours at Fort Mill Madhatter?

Nope.....Bob Mayberry in Monroe.

I only went there because of my neighbor....who is a great friend of mine.

I don't even take my car in for service....he takes care of this for me.

Had the 15k service done. He drove my car to work on Saturday.....had the service done....and brought it back to me. He does this for all of his friends and neighbors. Guy knows how to deliver quality service.

Wow, that's service that's hard to find - even among friends.

Hyundai's are great cars. The loaded Santa Fe's are legit full luxury SUVs for 20k less than you'd get elsewhere. 12 year warranties, oil changes for 5 years, there's nothing better in terms of bang for your buck out there. I just bought my wife one and she works with people who drive Audi's and BMWs who are now looking at trading theirs in.

MadHatter is right, only concern yourself with the bottom line - price and interest rate. If you can't afford it, get less car. In general, the invoice price on a new car is roughly $1500 less than sticker on cars less than 30k. If you can get a black book you can calculate the exact invoice the dealer paid and don't pay a penny more(the dealer will still make money on kickbacks). Just stonewall them on that price and they'll eventually take it.

black book? that is for used cars my friend. Thats just a weekly guide of the auction value of each car.

New cars too. We have stacks of them in the office.

the interweb has provided everyone with a great way to save lots of money on vehicles these days. If you take a little time and do some research.

They don't all like it, but the last couple of times I've bought a new vehicle, I deal direct with the sales manager after doing my research. Amazing what you can save.

Oh you bet your ass hyundai has come along way.

Most of their detractors have been sucked into the whole branding philosophy at this point

[Mr. Belding]

People with brand loyalties seem to get burnt. I have a friend who lives and dies by Chevy. Dude ha to make trips to parts stores several times a week.

"Hyundai? Who wants that piece of imported crap?! Oh brb my malibu's transmission pan is leaking again"

[Dxterity]

I'd gladly own a Kia Forte or Hyundai Genesis.

[Mr. Belding]

I know a guy who keeps a picture of a Hyundai Genesis inside his hat. Every few weeks, he updates me.
"7 more payments on this car then I can buy a Genesis"
