I bought the Hyundai Kona in my avatar in April from Hyundai of Central Florida in Clermont. I first went to Jenkins Hyundai in Leesburg only because they were close so I could see a Kona in person, they are brand new and I had not seen one on the streets. I really didn't expect Jenkins to be competitive. I had already read many reviews on 'Yelp' and found the two dealers were vastly different in pricing. I found google and dealerrater website reviews gave most everyone excellent reports, but I found 'Yelp' to be more accurate.
I was right, the Limited version with leather seats and turbo engine and a few other upgrades has a msrp of $26,025. I had already read on Hyundai of Central Florida's website they were selling the same car for $24,700 and they had no dealer fees or dealer options, that was their final price.
Jenkins price straight from the sales manager himself was $27,700, that included tax, tags, dealers fees and options.
I then went to Hyundai of Central Florida in Clermont and met with salesman George Spencer, who I had been emailing for several days with questions about color, different models and prices and he was always quick to respond.
Their website price was $24,700, they had no dealer fees and no dealer options, the floormats were the only added item and it was included in the price where Jenkins added $120 for floormats. We had agreed upon a price for my trade-in and just before I was to sign the contract, he asked 'are you a veteran' I said yes. He then wrote on contract minus $500, and my final price was $24,200, with tax, title and tags my out the door price was $24,400. When I got home I did look up that Hyundai was offering a $500 veterans discount.
George did need a copy of my DD214 and he was going to meet me the next day halfway in Leesburg, but I ended up just emailing him a copy. They were $3300 cheaper out the door than Jenkins. I just checked Hyundai of Central Florida's website and the Limited version is now advertised at $23,999, it's a great deal for a car with so many options and upgrades. I almost went with the lime twist color, but decided white was good.
