Done deal; Minou in '08 Sonata GL 5 speed...
« on: June 21, 2007, 09:08:57 am »
I kinda lost my mind last night and signed for the $18295. '08 Sonata GL 5 speed.

The dealer of the city where I was for the day had the exact combination I like.  Brand new '08, Indigo blue, manual transmission.  Test drove the car, liked it and negotiated my trade.  They offered only $9750. for my pristine condition '05 Corolla CE Pack C and I signed at 12K for it.  My cost out the door is 9K.

I go pick it up tonight.  Pictures shoud be forthcoming by tomorrow...

I miss the comfort and refinement/noise suppression of an intermediate but because of space and tight access to my garage can only go for a small intermediate car with tightest turning diameter possible.  And the Sonata fills the bill on those counts.

Lastly, It'll be fully paid for when I leave the dealer lot tonight.  ;D

Another Hyundai convert - welcome to the club ;D

I have praised our 06 GLS Sonata since the first day I test drove it. It has never caused us concern, and is a very good driving car. Enjoy!

Congrats.  Like to see a pic of the new car in the garage.  How tight is it?  :)

The garage is double.  It's the access that is narrow and tight with a 90 degree downhill concrete curbed right turn first followed by another 90 degree right turn to get in my double car space.

But some of my neighbours make it with things like Buick Rendez-Vous and Century, Old Acura RL and Honda Pilot.

I kinda lost my mind last night and signed for the $18295. '08 Sonata GL 5 speed.

$18295? Including freight? Thats impressive to say the least...were there substantial rebates involved?

That is beefy. I won't tell my girlfriend (who just signed for a Civic at a higher price).
