I just purchased a new 07 Sonata from Antwerpen Hyundai in Catonsville, Md. (West of Baltimore). I found their site from the Hyundai web site dealer list and reviewed their in-stock autos. I couldn't believe the prices quoted on the web. WAY under MSRP.

I scheduled a test drive and was impressed w/ the car. Didn't purchase on the 1st visit, just wanted to see and drive one. No pressure. I asked about the price on the web. I was told it was legit. Still didn't believe it.

Scheduled a meeting w/ a "Fleet" dealer through work to get a price to compare. Gave a slight discount from MSRP, but no where close to Antwerpen's. Also LOTS of pressure to buy.

Called salesman at Antwerpen again to inquire about price. He claims web pricing was legit. Told me to print out web prices and schedule appointment w/ internet sales manager (Joel Treece or Linda Chandler). I did. The web price was honored. No pressure, no gimicks, no strings.

I am very impressed with their sales approach in my case. Great price for a new car. I was looking for used but after driving a new sonata it was a no-brainer at the price. Several thousand below MSRP. I'm sure it's well below invoice.

If the car proves to be reliable it has to be the best car bargin of the century. If you're looking for a Hyundai in the Baltimore area - go to Antwerpen's website, check the prices, and then call or e-mail Joel. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I was.

Good Luck.

This dealership is the worse i was going to buy my car from there this dealship is full of it. this dealership as a list of compliats with the BBB, RIPOFF.COM.

Glad you had a nice experience.

I checked the website, and the the prices are cheap. It's about the same as fitzmall.com, which is a big dealer in Washington. Did you check out fitzmall.com?

Also, I notice they don't seem to have a manual transmission in stock.

Did they charge you a "delivery" price on top of the "Internet" price?

You're SOL because you can only buy cars made for the California market. But shop around.

Could you elaborate on that a little bit? All Hyundai's Imported and built in the United States meet

California requirements. In fact the DMV worker that looked at my Car before accepting it as a valid Car

(It was Brand New & came from Florida) gave it the 3rd degree. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/trophy.gif)

I see. Well I learned something today then. My old Elantra didn't meet CA standards, though. And Florida has no emissions testing at all.

They sure did though in 1998 when I moved to Miami. What a joke. Since I paid for the Window Engraving ( what the

heck does that have to do with emissions testing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) ) I was told to go to Auto Parts Store, pick up an Air Filter,

then return by Driving in the WRONG WAY Exit. That was fun. I was told I would pass, which I did.

About a Year later the testing centers closed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)
