talked with my dealership to see if they heard anything else about when they would receive any cars and the sales manager told me they were meeting with higher ups to test drive the car this week to learn more about it i guess then he said probably by the end of the month they should have them

Can't wait!!

Yes, very exciting. Dealerships are starting to have VTs allocated in their systems. It won't be long now!
I should email my dealer and ask them, see if I get a reply
call and ask for sales manager

I'm not buying until the 2nd model year comes out, so 2014, so I'm in no rush and am interested in how they will reply
Just to do my test drive of the NA V I contacted 3 dealers, and only went to see the one who replied to their email
When I buy I refuse to deal with the typical salesperson to manager back and forth BS, I have always found the internet sales manager seems to have more authority to function autonomously, and that I like, less screwing around for me...
same experience here in mid michigan, contacted several dealerships and am going with the one who had the manners to answer my questions. Will email him today and see if he has heard anything more. Pre ordered mine last week and hope I will be driving it soon!
I have been talking by E-mail to the internet sales manager about the turbos and yesterday he sent me the pricing for the models coming out. Looks like here in Utah the base turbo will be $23K with the manual, $24K with the automatic. The car will be available in most all the colors, the Matt Grey is $1K extra! He told me that they should have some on the lot by the end of July. I am on a waiting list so will get first pick when they come in, very excited!
Excellent, sounds great, congrats to you both

Got a reply, communications have been established

This was a car they had on their lot earlier this year
This was a NA V with the DCT, in the Tech Package
Clearly an awesome price

First Post! Hi guys, got my financing ready and just waiting for mine to hit the lot. I contacted two dealers in the MS area and was told they'd be allocated "any day now". Hoping for a VT in Marathon Blue or Black with Ultimate package. $26,475 was what I was quoted.
Spoke with two dealerships here in Scottsdale, AZ, both said their shipments are coming in around end of June. I priced mine on Hyundai's site, mine came out to around $26k fully loaded.
I found a web site called carbuyingtips.com and one of their recommendations is to not pay more that 5% over the REAL factory to dealer invoice, which is considerably less than msrp. I have been trying to get invoice info but all search sites (Edmunds, CarWoo, Autobytel) do not yet have vt information. A little worrisome since it sounds like some of us may be seeing our cars soon. At any rate, it is a good website that explains hold backs and factory incentives to dealers, many of which the dealers will get no matter what we pay, so why let them get paid twice. It's worth a look but if anyone out there has better info let me know.
I think with these cars, if you're not willing to pay MSRP, it boils down to the fact that someone else will, at least for the few 2-3 months.

To my knowledge and research, there are no holdbacks nor any factory incentives to the dealers for Veloster...that tells us one thing...Veloster is a high demand car that won't sit in the lot for long. Dealer Invoice is the true cost of dealers paying for the Veloster...therefore, you won't get anywhere less than invoice price...The difference between MRSP and dealer invoice is around 6%...I got mine at 3% less than the MRSP plus few freebies thrown in...You just got to shop around and try to negotiate.

Very interesting....to my knowledge, there are ALWAYS factory to dealer incentives so the dealer can negotiate and see some sort of profit. I'll take your information into consideration but still going to do some digging just to see for myself. BTW, where did you find the dealer invoice? Have you taken delivery of your vt yet?

I'm with midband on this one. What IS the dealers invoice amount and does it vary by state?
Well I have some possibly saddening news for some. The first shipment of VT's is here already -Yes, but the next shipment is going to be delayed until September including the Elantra GT's. Reason being is that Hyundai is in the process of securing a new bank to deal with. They have decided which bank but the problem is they need to close the deal and finalize the paperwork for $550 million in loans. This is from a very confidential source with ties into corporate of the bank in question and who's analyst team has been working on this deal for months. So the sad news is if you don't get yours in July you will HAVE to wait until they can afford to send another shipment in September. I know that will scre a few folks and piss off a few more. But know that the shipment will be at least 3 cargo ships leaving port at the same time, 2 VT/1 GT. Like I said confidential and since he is family he told me so I can inform you, and I'm sure you can imagine how pissed I am since my dealer ordered me the wrong one so I'm gonna have to wait now.. Lets just hope the deal gets finalized fast to speed the process. They stated to him that there are approx. 2,000 VT's built waiting to be loaded on boats. Hyundai is very unhappy to delay the shipment as well but they have been dragging there feet also on closing the deal.. Hope you all enjoy at least knowing whats going on but understanding how sad we all will be until they get here for us..
