The only car qualifying as a “deal” right now is the Sonata 2.0T SE. There is a lot of cash available right now, but not a lot of discounts off MSRP w/o using manufacturer incentives. The one thing I recommend is that you be careful when you lease a Hyundai. The payments are VERY attractive since they are generally $200-$300 per month for most cars, but they are also fairly inexpensive cars, so you don’t want to end up overpaying.
For example, leasing a Genesis Coupe for $300 a month +tax and inceptions isn’t all that bad, but the car’s MSRP is only $24k. So keep that in mind. Same goes for the other low priced models such as the Elantra, Accent and Veloster.
Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.
