OK I know that nobody is going to beat Nick from Belgium who got his car for free, but did any of us poor souls who actually PAID MONEY for their i30s manage to get a good deal?
My car was originally listed at just under £20,000 [41,000aud] (inc body kit & 18" wheels). By the time I saw it in the showroom it had been registered by the dealer for 2.5 months, it had 20 miles on the clock and it was discounted to £15,995. I managed to get them to drop to £15,500 [32,000aud].
It came with 6 months road tax = £100. I got them to include free mats = £40 - a tank of fuel = £62 - a second tank of fuel because they delivered it a couple of days late = £62 again. That's about it.
So, being kind to myself, I reckon I got for the equivalent of £4,760* [9,780aud] less than list price, which makes me quite happy :mrgreen: [/i][/size]

Howdy... (its easier than saying i30manUK)
Over here (in Aus) If the dealer registers the car and keeps it for a month or two they call it a "demo" and when they clear it they save on some taxes which is generally passed on to the buyer. Don't know if that was the case with your car. Demos don't usually have such low mileage - but sometimes they do. I got some of my best deals that way. Thumper got a demo (and I assume a good price). I had a trade-in (which I tried to sell privately without any luck) so my deal was only average (I.M.O.)
Cheers,
Dazz

In the UK there are 'new' cars, 'pre-registered' (like mine) and 'demonstrators' (which have been registered by the dealer and used for test drives for a few months). It's common for dealers to pre-register cars if they need to get their sales moving, because it means they can sell them a bit cheaper, making them more attractive to tightwads like me. You basically get a new car for less money, but you have to accept that the registration document will show that you're the second owner - which is fine by me as I intend to keep the car for a while.

The final price of my car:
Hyundai i30 1.6 manual petrol Style = £19,200 - 39,500 AUD
Sports body kit package + wheels + tint = £4,900 - 10,000 AUD
Total = £24,100 - 49,500 AUD
Discount = £2,855 - 5,873 AUD
Final Price = £21,245 - 43,710 AUD
80% foreign loan, (50% Yen 50% CHF)
Rest in cash and previous car.
About £261 - 537 AUD a month.
-
Ouch.. makes my eyes water...
-
The final price of my car:
Final Price = £21,245 - 43,710 AUD
OMG that is horrendous!!! nearly $44 000 for an i30?? I managed to get my SR on the road under 30K...

it's not the worst case, I doubt if we get a Danish member, i30 petrol comfort is about 50,000 AUD :?
-
Think we just got a danish member (# 109) by the look of their email address - ends in .dk
-
No one can beat my price
-
Croatia:
i30 1,6 CRDi (66 kw/90 hp), Steel grey
iThink package (equivalent to SLX CRDi)
+ Cruise control
+ rear sensors
+ some other stuff like rubber carpets, first aid box...
127.000 HRK = 28.600 AUD = 13.900 GBP
I got it on the "Diesel for the price of petrol" offer.
(Offers like this are common here, due to fuel prices)
-
Mine was a demo (I did not want to wait, and the demo was in the colour and spec that I wanted, plus the dealer really liked my Getz. Was the last SXi in Australia)
I received $2,000 off the final price. 8-)
-
Sounds like a good Deal Thumper, and a believable one!
2 grand off a Hyundai i30, a car with a minimum 12 week wait is good in my book.
How many K's did it have on the clock Thumper?
-
Mine was registered by the dealer for 1 day so they could offer me a discount and class the car as a demo!!!
Only had 25 miles on clock. I'd done 10 in demo mode and told already had 6 when delivered to dealership.
Like i30manUK I got a few extra's - carpets, mud guards, 12 months road tax paid the difference from 6 month, nearly 3/4 tank of diesel, 50% off 1st service and a better than expected PX on my 7 year old Accent.
So all in I think I got around 20% off UK list.
-
128km on the clock when I picked it up.
So all in all, not too bad.
-
I got almost 3 grand off. I gave the dealer my business card and he noticed I worked in the education industry - apparently Hyundai give fleet discounts for education staff (probably for other industries too - worth asking). However, I don't get the car until Aug/Sept so the wheels may yet fall off (the deal, not the car).
I didn't get much of a trade in (maybe I should have polished it - see the 'polish topic
).
-
I have mentioned in my introduction how much I am paying for mine - but I will wait till it actually arrives in August to give the final verdict.
-
Hi Saint...
I Like...."Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes."
Bit like my ex-wife... I encouraged her to take up exercise (a 5km run every night after tea..) it was a great idea she was 35kms away by the end of the week
Cheers,
Dazz
-
Haha Dazz, good one
-
Yes Dazz very good.
-
The ex is 100kms away now (the current wife reckons that is even better!)
-
mine was oficially 17.000 euro,more or less, and I paid for it 16.000 with taxes, but I bought it on my firm, so without taxes it comes down to 14.000 (the 2.000 were retrieved from the taxes I should normally pay to the state) so 14.000 euro means 22.900 AUD, i hope that's correct, i ain't a math's kinda guy...
-
Hi Tiny... You got a good deal considering all the bells and whistles..you got
-
We got a pretty good deal too...Paid AU$20,150 for the i30 sx, which included spoiler, dash mats, floor mats, and 2nd fob key. However I was peeved that they left me with no petrol! I had to fill up on the way home. Dirty *bleep*!
-
At that price with those extras.. it's a wonder you got wheel nuts!
-
I paid net 22,900 Euro for my i30 Style in NL. I'm the most screwed person in the world. I really overpaid. But I hated my previous Audi A3 and got to rid of it immediately. I liked it and paid that money. There was onle one buyer I heard before me in NL so no reference of the price of that car. Even dealer was knowing less than me about the car.
-
i30 SLX Diesel Man + ESP,TCS, Metalic paint, floor mats $28700 AUS
Forgot to ask about 2nd fob and spare alloy, 8-12weeks delivery time.
-
Hi Ras..
I reckon you will get the 2 keys and probably the alloy spare without asking for them... fingers crossed!
Rgds,
Dazz
-

Hi Dazz,
Everything's good... 'just spending a lot more time with the better half. fortunately for her she loves the i30 ;)
-
I am getting an SR once I sell my house, has anyone recently purchased one so I can get a bit more detail on what to pay 'drive away'. This will be my first new car, I'm thinking of buying via a site like betterdeal where the car dealers reverse bid for your sale, but happy to pay a good haggler here instead

That's not a bad price at all, considering you have the remainder of a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY :mrgreen:
I paid the full 16K, but life isn't all about money is it

headlamp protectors
rear spoiler
alloy sports pedal
style visors
Towing set

-
most of the accessories!
I've gotten a quote of $29,200 for the SR auto with
Floor mats
Reverse Sensors
Metallic Paint
iPod Cable
Drive away
I'll get tint elsewhere
Good deal?
-
I went to see another dealer today just to see if it were reasonable..
We got the price to 28500 with tint (the car in showroom had it), he checks with manager and comes back with another price, we said no so he checked manager again.. then at 28600 he went to check with hes manager again... he wanted more which wouldn't be much more of a saving than the existing quote from a nice dealer, so we left.. I didn't feel like waiting for the price to slowly go up. I don't have the patience for car buying! Probably going to buy it monday from nice dealer
-
I got my white SR (AUTO) for $28,860 on road.
i was suprised to see it had a 17" alloy spare :) Car as contract stated also came with i30 carpet mats.
-
i paid $23,800 for a brand new order in - in the colour thats takes the longest... for the nana-pack diesel :mrgreen:
-

But i think everyone get's that ?!?!

But i think everyone get's that ?!?!
No.
I got 1/4 and only because it was demo which had been used a few times.

-
I paid $29,000 for mine. SLX CRDi incl. metallic paint, ipod cable, dash mat, floor mats, headlight protectors, bonnet protector, mud flaps, tow bar, reverse sensors, 12 months rego & full tank fuel. I think I got a pretty good deal, lucky my Dad was there to do the talking!!!!

Interesting, I made this post in july and since then the Krona has fallen day by day, so if I recalculate the prices towards the UK Pound and AUS $ now the price on my car is quite fair, I think.
Hyundai i30 1.6 manual petrol Style = £13,200 - 31,000 AUD
Sports body kit package + wheels + tint = £3,420 - 8,000 AUD
Total = £16,620 - 39,000 AUD
Discount = £2,000 - 4,660 AUD
Final Price = £14,620 - 34,340 AUD
Now I see why all the foreigners are coming here to buy cars, expensive cars :mrgreen:
-
i paid 22700 for my brand new Vivid blue automatic sx with everything included. i dont know if thats cheap or not :)

snap about the lazy part. It's just so much easier to sit down, start car, put car in drive, move steering wheel.

Hello everyone,
I am a new member and new owner as of 28 November 2008! I paid $25,490 for a new SLX CRDi automatic model. Instead of a $1,000 Myer voucher the dealer gave me a cheque for $1,000 so I suppose you could say I paid $24,490. Not too bad of a deal I think. I only got a quarter of a tank of fuel unlike some of the other deals. Does anyone know how much the genuine ipod media cable is?

The list price is $28,390 + on road costs.
Was yours $24,490 + on road costs?
-
Yes sorry, $25,490 drive away plus I got $1,000 back so really $24,490 drive away.

I would like to meet your dealer! Was that a demo model? Or was the car available at the yard? That is a really good deal. You saved like $7k from RRP!
-
I suppose there is some pretty good deals out there at the moment due to the economic environment. I got it from Sydney City Hyundai and it was a brand new model and not a Demo. I nearly bought one of two other Demo's thought. A white one for $24,990 with 4,000km and a vivid blue one with 1,900km for $25,837, both were drive away prices and petrol automatic models and the blue one had tinted windows and car mats. However I stumbled across the one I ended up getting at the last moment advertised at $25,490 and I put a deposit on it straight away, I didn't bother haggling with it at a good price from the start. The saving on the invoice says $6k something can't remember exactly.

Thats a lot of money for an ipod cable :P :lol:
-
I paid $26,000 on the road for
Diesel SLX silver manual 1.6ltr (85kw)
Included floor mats, two key fobs, full tank of fuel
Had i known about the ipod cable i would have screwed that into the deal aswell.
-
I did my deal today:
i30 SR Manual
- iPod Cable
- "Premium Mats"
- Boot protector
- Lock Nuts
- Full tank of gas
- none of their stickers or number plate stupidity :)
AU$26,500-
Could probably have gone Bluetooth but really didn't want them stuffing around with the A-Pillar. Had it come with a factory BT option I would have taken it, although I don't use my phone much in the car :) Was also thinking of the bonnet and headlight protectors, but in the end didn't bother...
-
Sounds like a good deal magicRob ..
Bluetooth module on the sunvisor apparently works really well (a couple of brands available -search this forum)
I'm reckon headlight covers slightly reduce effectiveness of the headlights and bonnet protectors are a leaf catcher :cool:

For those of us in the UK., ask to see if your employer belongs to the Hyundai Affinity Scheme. Being a Driving Instructor, I got £3800 off my 1.6 Premium auto, plus £1000 from the Government Scrappage Scheme. So I paid £11500 incl. met. paint. Contact the personnel in the Hyundai UK website for further details.
