Seeing most of the other auto makers had a really bad June how did Hyundai do? I've not seen sales figures as of yet nor can I find them online.

I talked to my dealership while in for service and they said the Elantra is flying off the lot!

Thanks!

Hyundai June Report

Thanks very much!

No problem!

Bookmark that site, it's chock full of great information and high res pictures of the various models.

We cannot keep Elantra's in stock at work. As soon as we get a shipmet they are gone in 2 days! We sold 5 today and have 2 left, these cars just came in Thursday. People actually have deposits on Elantra's we have coming in,especially SE's. 4 cyl Sonata's are also selling very well for us.

Wow... deposits on Elantras... who would have thought THAT would ever happen? LOL

We have a HUGE stock of Accents, a good number of Elantras, and a TON of 4 cylinder Sonatas. The Accents are absolutely flying off our lot. Our GM has taken advantage of that and has started ordering more Accent SEs, thinking that if people are having to buy a compact car that they might like to actually have a NICE compact car.

We have about 15 Accents which is alot for us, down to 2 Elantra's and we have one 4 cyl GLS Sonata and 2 Limited's. Accent's sell ok for us. We don't have any SE's and we had trouble getting rid of the 07's. We just took 8 08 Sonata service loaner's out of service and all sold in 3 days except one. People are putting deposits on Elantra SE's because they are hard to get, they are even putting them on GLS's with sunroof's. About 3 weeks ago we got 9 black Elantra's from another dealer and we figured we would have trouble selling them since they were all black and that was all we had at the time, they were all gone in a week.

Before the Elantra sales picked up a month or so ago the Focus's at our Ford store were flying off of the lot, now they have slowed down since I guess people realized the Elantra is a lot better car :bwekk: .

I see you posting a lot. What do you do at your dealership? Did I see you are in parts?

Yes, I'm in parts at one of the few standalone Hyundai dealerships in the nation. (As in, our dealership only sells Hyundais, nothing else.) Our DPSM says we are the largest and nicest Hyundai dealership in his region. We like our DPSM... lol.

How long has the dealer been around?

We have Hyundai and Suzuki which are together and Ford and Kia are together. They are a half mile from each other and Hyundai is our biggest seller.

Just as an FYI I know of at least 4 stand alone and very nicer dealership within 20 miles of me here in AZ.

My stand alone Dealer in Kingman AZ is cool. Long live the stand alone Dealer!

All the Hyundai dealers (minus Hannah Hyundai in Vancouver) are stand-alone in the Portland Metro Area. Their owners obviously have other franchises but not in the same building. For example, the owner of the one the closest to me (where I go for parts and service) also owns the local Ford and Nissan dealers but they are a good half mile to a mile away.

:offtopic: Sorry. I'm a little concerned to see they only sold 20,000 Tucsons last year. I could have pictured them doing better than that.

Ok, well maybe our DPSM meant to say that we were one of the few standalone Hyundai stores in this REGION, not in the US. Ooops... lol

I didn't realize there were so many. It's good to see though, and I think as Hyundai grows they won't need to be "attached" to another name to draw people to the dealership.

Actually, Rey Reece Hyundai shares a building with their VW dealership. I don't think they advertise as being a multi-mark dealership, though (heck, I don't think they advertise AT ALL!)

I actually test drove my first Accent there, but walked away when I got the distinct feeling that the salesperson knew NOTHING about Hyundais. I think he was a new hire... all of the Volkswagen guys hanging around trolling the parking lot seemed to be giving him a hard time :P
