How to Buy an Elantra N (Or Any Car) For MSRP

[@ak2112]

Solid advice. Back in December I set out to order a 22 BRZ. Local dealers were all heavy on markup and/or dealer add ons. I expanded my search to neighboring states and found a dealer 65 miles away that had a VERY responsive internet team. They assured me there would be zero markup & add ons and set up a date for me to come in to order the car and have them check out my trade in. I went in, ordered the car and we even agreed on a trade value for my car (which I would continue to drive) 3 months in advance of my BRZ arriving. I was nervous the whole thing would fall apart (despite having placed a deposit and signed a purchase agreement) but exactly 90 days from placing my order- the BRZ came in and the deal went as smoothly as possible. Everything was honored and I had the exact car I wanted. It's a hard time to buy a car right now but it's certainly not impossible.

[@PatrixBest]

As a sales representative at Hyundai myself, receiving an email like this would probably make my day. Answer right away, car is sold. Easy done.

[@PatrixBest]

Plus I really enjoy selling the N and N-line models because I genuinely believe them to be among the best Hyundai has to offer

[@Sie84yv]

I used to work for Hyundai and agree with you guys 💯%, except the advise to not take the extended warranty. Understanding the complexity and cost to replace the performance parts on my Veloster N, I opted for a $3,100 10yr 100k bumper to bumper extended warranty. I did pay it cash in order to save the finance charges. The warranty is nationwide with no deductible and covers OEM parts and labor. Las month I hit a huge bump that broke my the entire front right suspension and got all my money back, plus a free car rental for 10 days while my VN was getting fixed. Unless you're buying a base Camry, get an extended warranty, especially on a high performance vehicle you are planning on using daily and carving canyons on weekends

[@ItsPaulby]

Doesn't that car come with a 5 year/60k mile bumper to bumper and 10 year/ 100k powertrain warranty already? That means you're paying over $3k for an additional 5 year/40k mile bumper to bumper?

[@Sie84yv]

@@ItsPaulby Exactly. The extended warranty also covered what Hyundai said was an "accident" and did not want to cover the front suspension because they said the damage was from the impact of something on the road and not normal use. I thought this was a stupid reason since I was just driving like normal on a paved road ,but whatever, the extended warranty covered it and i was glad I had it.

[@khronin]

@@Sie84yv If you have full coverage insurance it would have paid for that damage.

[@BigBear--]

@@khronin minus deductible, which most people prefer to save on monthly payments so its usually at least $1,000.

[@Desmo1]

I imagine the factory warranty would've been fine for you in the stated instance.

[@falseegaming8656]

I physically cant contain how excited i am to own this car

[@pattyboi]

It's a pretty sick car for sure

[@Elevated_Awareness]

Had a dealership try to mark up N 15k 😂😂. I used your email template and spammed 10 dealerships in my area. I am happy to say I just put a deposit on cyber grey N with MSRP pricing. Thank you guys for sharing, it truly worked.

[@elib2670]

It's the best color Hyundai offers

[@solarflare1008]

Former Insurance Adjuster I saw how things changing specially at the New Cars Dealers in the last 3 decades. Actually what you are telling here is nothing new but dealers do not speak about it. Because in the past decade or so this type of communication letter put the dealer administration on not so good position with the manufactured. This letters do work and it is an alternative for potential clients who wants to save his money. On the other hand those ridiculous mark up over the MSRP are cause of we the consumers could not purchase any sport car like the Ford Focus and some others models. It is important to mention here that I am impress with your knowledge on this matter at so young age. Congratulations great video.

[@silverx5733]

For those who doesnt believe what these guys are saying a d that u cant get it for msrp. I just contacted 4-5 dealers around me (7.12.22) with the same letter and immediately got calls/ emails back from 4 dealers. 3 of them had cars coming by the end of this month and 5k mark up and one has car coming same date and did take my offer for msrp+tax and other fees. I put a deposit in and getting it by the end of month. Thank you guys for yr advice and keep the videos coming

[@silverx5733]

Btw some other dealers who had mark ups could factory order the car for me at msrp but waiting period was 6-8 months

[@Adamal85]

Used car prices are the reason I've ordered an EN for exactly MSRP and the fact the car is only 2 months away from order...and the wild warranty helps.

[@mistamaog]

You're right, right now is the best time to sell your used car, and I keep tempting myself to sell mine to get a car like the Elantra N 😢

[@jimmykline316]

Dealers don't care if you don't want to pay the mark up because they know someone else is gonna come in and pay that mark up price.

[@Loopsrainforest]

I can tell you the chip shortage is a real thing. At my work we used to buy digital control systems from a vast number of suppliers & now we are so desperate our purchasers are scrounging around places like eBay to find them.

[@luisarzola767]

The chip shortage is a very very real thing working in the car industry and seeing our lot dwindle from 150 cars plus to just 4 or 5 at a time on the lot it’s crazy. Great video I like the tips just take your time and look for the deal it’s worth waiting for the car you want just tougher because people are willing to pay. This car is awesome and I’m probably gonna get one.

[@williamrori1274]

It is but it isn't. The issue here is that the chips that the OE's need (and aren't able to get) are the ones on a SUPER old architecture, like 15 Nm. Chip foundries just don't want to retool to make a two decade old chip that makes no money, when they can make PC/phone chips (4-8 nm) that are far more profitable. Intel literally said they would make all the chips the OE's want but they have to get on a semi-modern architecture. TLDR, the OE's are just being cheap, the chips are there but they have to get on a chip architecture that isn't multiple decades old...

[@theodoregibbons4615]

Or, have the dealers decided to keep their inventories minimal to avoid their finance charges and get a higher sales price because of the lack of vehicles on their lot?

[@PatrixBest]

@@theodoregibbons4615 I guarantee you the salesmen do not appreciate not having cars to sell, they only get paid on delivery, and having to tell customers that their car will only be there in X amount of months makes them lose what might otherwise be a sale. I myself have sold roughly 120 cars this year but only delivered 35 of them. I easily have over 40k $ of lost income that should be in my pocket but will instead be slowly coming over the next year or two. This is not a fun situation.

I've been watching YAA (now CarEdge) for a while. Then I got into the market for an EN and here y'all are talking about them! I was meant to buy this car lol

[@bobbyrejek6013]

Holy shit! You guys are local to me! The experience has been interesting and at times frustrating since a lot of Detroit-area dealers are doing markup. Victoria from Hyundai Lansing is selling at MSRP in Michigan so please go to her if you're looking for a reliable, fair dealer. OTD price that includes 2k in taxes and 1k in delivery was right under 35k with add-ons. Haven't gotten the car yet but it's ordered and I have a purchase agreement in hand from them.

[@pattyboi]

I think Will actually talked to Victoria at one point as well haha!

[@italianstallion7542]

Talk to a dealership and ask to have one built. That is what I did!

[@anddudewaslike]

You can’t order cars from Hyundai

[@StayConsistant]

Excellent video and very true. Never done this with a new car, but I have with used cars at a dealer. Basically emailed and said I will buy the used car for X amount out the door and will come get it today if you will sell it for that amount. (Pending test drive and inspection of course)

[@khronin]

I have bought--as in outright--everycar since I was 25--now in my 40s--many of my cars on my channel.I have always paid below MSRP except for my last car which is my Kona N which i paid sticker for.But my last 2 cars--a 2020 stinger GT and a Mazda CX-30 Turbo--I got more on both of them then I paid for--made almost 10k on my stinger and was able to trade my cx-30 in on the Kona and paid 1k for the kona N--I paid 32k for the mazda and got rt at 36k for it as a trade.

[@drumflip1253]

Bought a used Veloster n, sold it 3 months later for more money and traded it in for a Kona N. The dealer had a 5k markup but they wanted the Veloster n and waived the markup.

[@vexpho4512]

Exactly what I did with my Camry trd, called up 2 dealers, said I want to order a trd for msrp, make it happen, I paid msrp with some options added, seems like factory ordering dealers are more likely to sell for msrp

[@itspabbs]

One "add on" that you do want to consider if you are financing and don't bring a good amount of trade equity or cash down is gap insurance.

[@postalpancho]

Just bought a BMW 230i for MSRP. Dealerships know that they will only get allocations if people place orders and put money down and wait for months to get it. You can still get a deal if you do things right.

[@EN_autoblog]

Appreciate the video. Markup for Elantra Ns are ridiculous right now...smh

[@RAY_FILET]

Haven't watched the video but the best way is to paste a list of dealerships into an excel sheet and start dialing. Done.

[@zigzag7192]

Wish I had seen this video a little sooner than I did. I just bought an automatic cyber grey Elantra N a couple of days ago and paid the market adjustment fee. The only way to get one was to buy one that's in transit. Have never driven one or seen one in person so I hope it is as awesome as it looks like in all the KZbin videos I have watched. Lol I sure am looking forward to June 9th when it arrives.

[@itsgryme1081]

Have you been enjoying the car so far?

[@chaseo4557]

Why would you buy it with never seeing it….

[@RandallBallsworth]

[@ByWhirl]

I called two dealers and got it reserved on my 2nd call for msrp idk I'm probably just lucky lol

[@vinnydimaiuta9711]

Yes make the video on buying a gr86, I went to my local dealership to check one out, they were charging a $5,000 markup price on it and they said $10,000 markup on tundras

[@realweston]

I think you should for sure promote the gr 86 video dude, if it works out. It might be a video that a lot of people want to know

[@dschrock23]

The buyers market for a GR86 is much greater than for an Elantra N. I will be really surprised if you can get it for MSRP. Looking forward to seeing what happens.

[@williamrori1274]

Tons of people are getting it for MSRP and below though. Again, it just takes work and dealerships are trying as hard as they can to make the climate "seem" like it's impossible. Our buddy Geoff just got his GR86 (I'm sure there will be videos on this) so it's definitely possible.

Was in a dealer over the weekend, not only did they not want to sell an Elantra N for msrp, they also tried offering me about $3-4k less than the market value of my trade in. How's that for a dealer who's slogan is "No Bull". lol

[@senivan22]

I bought corolla special edition for 22k on september of 2020. Trade the corolla to bmw last month for brand new m340i. Im so surprised they bought the corolla for 28k. I put 30k miles for the 2 years of owning it, curb rash the wheels badly, front bumper is barely hanging. Tein suspension and afe intake. I expected the corolla value will be really low cause of the miles I put on it, the mods, damaged bumper and wheels. They probably gonna get 30k plus on the corolla if I kept it stock and kept it clean. But yeah the used market is just crazy.

Thank you for the video! If you really want to own it. Pay up, why don’t you send these emails to your other companies, Walmart, target, Apple, Samsung. Asking for this BS? Wait till the market drops or don’t be wasting peoples times.

[@Sir_Logurt]

Are you insane? Are you suggesting we should let dealers get away with markups for any BS reason they can come up with when they already make thousands of dollars on the sales because "if you really want it" That's literally the reason they do it is because it works and people pay the extra for absolutely no reason, if everyone handled their buying the way they reference in the video selling at MSRP would be the norm because dealerships would know they can't get away with literally fucking people. Whose time did they waste? People sitting at desks whose entire job is to make these sales and have these communications?

[@joseaguilar1768]

This was a great informative video. Thank you so much. I’m thinking that I’ll save $10,000 and put that down on a DCT N, as well as use your approach. Keep the N videos coming please !

[@Jaybo454]

Problem with the prompt is that Hyundai doesn’t do factory orders. Ask if the dealer allocation includes an Elantra N that meets X,Y,Z specs and whether or not that car is serialized or not and if they have an ETA. ANy Hyundai dealer that says they factory order is lying

Good to know. Just curious if you financed it or leased and planned on buying it out. Brother went to look at one and was trading in his 2021 truck and they were giving him 52k for it. The lease would have been 619 a month or something absurd.

[@jeffnordin108]

I found a guy in Syracuse NY who also won't sell above MSRP, but the dealership refuses to sell to out of state residents 😡 What the fuck?! All the stealerships in CA are garbage, charging over 7k on top of MSRP. This terrible dealership experience has REALLY killed the best parts of Hyundai. They make great cars, but their dealers are worthless I really don't want a Tesla or Camry hybrid, or VW SUV...😐

[@waynemangan9925]

ANother tip: DO Not finance your state tax and licensing if you have a choice, or any more than you have too. Some states the dealerships try collect it commonly to raise your loan amount, though the state leaves it optional. Be clear on your states guidelines before hand. I live in Omaha, Bought an 18 Elantra Sport in DesMoines Iowa 2020, and the dealership tried to tell me that they needed to collect tax right then, I said no you dont, I dont live in Iowa. After insisting he was wrong he finally "ask someone else". Afterward called one of the Council Bluffs Dealers who sell to Omahans regularly and they said that's BS. Finance officer mentions what they claimed was a theft tracker that they swore was on all their cars, didnt mention a charge for it, made it sound free as I signed a simple acknowledgement . This is a common scam, real or not, COMPLETE BS. WALK AWAY if the finance officer refuses to delete this BULL SHLIT. In my case he told me about it, never mentioned a charge, and then snuck a 900$ fee for it onto the bottom portion of the final price contract beneath empty lines of scrolling periods of NA equipment I didnt even notice until I drove the car home and opened the envelope with the contract copy in it a day later. Had some other trouble with my paperwork getting sent to me at the time. After 4 weeks of not getting a call back from the sales manager I demanded the operator to talk to the GM. I was a bit hot about everything, but he nicely refunded my 900 as well as promised to have my shit in the mail the next day.

[@jessicaphoenix1312]

Solidarity! These stealerships are out of line. The car-scalping Honda dealership tried to sell me a Civic SI for 35k! They told me it was an "exclusive " car. I told them they needed an "exclusive" buyer, then. I looked around and got an Elantra N for MSRP, just under the 35k Honda tried to sell the Civic SI for. Hah! It works out if we don't go for the BS. These people are banking on buyers having no sense or self-control. I took my time and ended up with a car that was better than I hoped for (Civic SI or Golf GTI). The idea of ordering a new vehicle sounds like a good way to go, too. That just takes planning and self-control - no falling in love with a car and jumping at it.

[@whois_dev9314]

very good advice guys thank you

[@qw9uj]

Some say never pay more than MSRP. If you shop out of state, then you should consider each state's doc fee and etc. Used car market is absolutely crazy. More and more dealers will mark up over new cars to prevent buyers from selling it for profits. Though 5-7k mark up on that car is common, you did pretty good job if you could walk out with the car for less than 2k mark up imo. You could factory order for MSRP but I happen to see a lot of dealers sell those reserved orders to other buyers who would pay more. Yes, it sucks to pay more than MSRP but a couple thousands is not so much if you really want the car right away.

[@devn3813]

I’ve asked probably hundreds of dealers if they’ll sell for MSRP. None will. I put an allocation for one for msrp and their website says my new black DCT N will be in at the end of the month. I’ll believe it when I see it.
