Best and Worst Cars to Negotiate Right Now
With new products like the Sonata, the Elantra and now the Accent finding great favor with buyers looking for fuel-efficiency and low price.
Hyundai currently holds two of the top three spots on this month's Hardest to Negotiate list with the Elantra and all-new Accent subcompact.
Although it's hard to negotiate heavily on these Hyundais, you can still get a fairly decent deal because of Hyundai's incentive and lease programs.
Also note that Hyundai vehicles typically come standard with options that cost extra in competing vehicles. When you take this into account, the deals are pretty good even if you can't negotiate much off the price.
You may have a hard time finding the colors and options you desire, so it's best if you can wait a few months to sit back and keep an eye on the market.
Cars that get good gas mileage are the ones selling the fastest (and thus hardest to negotiate).
