2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[Starex_Gold]

Depende rin sa SA. They have to consult their manager(s) first bago makipag negotiate sa DI. Pero initial na sasabihin nila sa'yo yung pinaka-mataas na possible.

Usually mataas ang DI lalo na kapag kinuha mo yung mga low DP scheme

[aargh]

If this is the case Im guessing di ka bebentahan pag cash buyer ka? Kasi kung yung PO nga ng bank, kahit papano may DI sila dun tinanggihan...

[tidus1203]

Ganun naman talaga with hot selling models, cash buyers are always discriminated. It happened with the Fortuner, the Civic FD, the Montero Sport and recently the Ford Fiesta (I am a witness to this)...

If the Elantra has a long line tapos knowing Hyundai's bad habit of being short supplied and you're a cash buyer good luck na lang. Baka by the time, lumabas na yung bagong Focus, Mazda 3 and Civic and maybe you can take a look at those...

[Starex_Gold]

Mismo. Kaya minsan inuuna sa pila yung mga in-house finance or bank finance.

Tapos pag cash buyer ka naman, pipilitin ka kunin yung in-house insurance. Para kahit papano kumita sila sa'yo.

Kaya hindi na ako nagtataka may SA na naka Hyundai i30 eh......

What did the alleged incompetent boss do wrong?

From the consumer's/buyer's point of view, this person did not spec the Elantra well in terms of price/value ratio. Whether out of sheer incompetence or cost tenacity, is anybody's guess

How so?

Where as the Accent (in general but most esp. the 1.4 A/T) seriously undercut its competition by offering a new competent modern platform, more features for lesser price than its competition.

Currently, the preliminary spec and price of the Elantra will not conjure the same excitement as that on the Accent.

What should this boss do ?

Learn to balance HARI's need for profit and the customer's expectation of value. Tear a page from the Accent strategy.

What can we do?

Let HARI hear your voices. If you get the oppurtunity, talk to the people who are responsible or at least know somebody who is responsible for the product planning. Believe me, it works.

[aargh]

Hindi ba unfair trade practice yun and pwede ireklamo sa... Saan nga ba? DTI?

[trig]

lagpas 2mos na ako dito sa texas, kahapon lang ako naka kita ng elantra, 2 pa agad na silver. Likod lang nakita ko, maganda, mukhang sports luxury. mukhang mapapadalas jogging ko sa subdivision para makita ko ulit yung elantra.

mahina benta ng hyundai dito, Nissan Altima ung malakas saka syempre mga higanteng pick-up

[tidus1203]

Anong unfair duon? Bakit mo isusumbong sa DTI? I don't get it... A car company can spec and price as they please... This is the free markets. Now if the market will respond favorably, now that's an entirely different matter... If you don't like it, don't buy it and hopefully that will send them a message!

Sorry boss I was referring to the Dealer not accepting cash buyers...

As for the spec... Looks like kahit ano spec pa ilabas ng hyundai ngayon bebenta...pero siguro once the focus and m3 arrives theyll think twice.

[Starex_Gold]

Oh well. Wala naman problem sa pricing ng Elantra. Problem lang yung specs.

Kung pantay yung specs nung 1.8 GLS A/T at Civic 1.8S A/T, eh pwede na. Kaya we have to wait for the actual 1.8 GLS A/T unit. For 938K, mura talaga yun. Pero mas maganda kung lalagyan ng auto climate para mas may dating kahit tumaas ng konti yung price. Kung Altis 1.6G naka auto climate na eh.

[locoroco777]

Kaya hindi na ako nagtataka may SA na naka Hyundai i30 eh......

Baka naman nakuha ng 50% discount...kesa nga naman ibalik sa korea diba?

seriously though, pag garapalan talaga ang lalakas kumita nung mga SA...

kinu kwento nga nung mekaniko dun sa pinagpapagawaan ko eh mga nagkakapera nga daw kahit yung mga baguhan na natututo palang pag nakapag release perang maliwanag agad....lalo daw pag mga OFW karaniwan laging 5 years na hulugan ang kinukuha tiba tiba daw yung mga SA....hehe

para di OT...

if the one in MIAS has the same actual spec thats gonna be sold out for 938k then its a keeper!

just dissapointed about the color selection....walang kulay Talong,walang brown tapos kung ano pa yung kulay nung display unit yun pa yung hindi kasama sa selection na ibebenta dito....

Mismo. Kung ako hindi ko na pipiliin yung bigger displacement na engine. Basta kumpleto ang features (pati sunroof), ok na sa'kin

Yung kulay talong, no chance, kahit sa Korea walang talong. Sa Accent natin abangan yung talong. Ang masakit e walang bronze at yung blue

[cjv_justice]

Dun nga ako nagtataka eh, yun din yung boss nila na nag-approve ng specs and pricing ng Accent pero maganda ang kinalabasan.

Basta palagi kong naririnig na reklamo from the team, "Hindi kasi siya car enthusiast kaya walang alam sa specs, alis ito, alis yan, etc"

Forgot the name eh.

Anyone here who wants to replace that a$?

Parang case nanaman to ng 'Only In The Philippines' if your ask me.

hehehe...na deprived na naman ang pinas sa magagandang kulay...

pero in fairness , tingin ko sulit na sulit talaga yung 938k kapag yun mismo ang nasa show ang inilabas nilabas....Altis and FD killer talaga...hehe... di ko lang sure sa performance, gano nga kaya talaga kalakas yung Dual VVT na 1.8 liter?

[Starex_Gold]

150BHP daw yung 1.8Li. eh. Mas mataas pa ang BHP sa Corolla Altis 2.0V..

[bryantest]

tama ka bro lahat ng brand may factory defects din pero hindi naman major problem, pero yung problema na nangyari sa elantra sobrang delikado sa buhay ng tao, masunog at matanggalan ka ng gulong habang tumatakbo ka ng matulin, siguradong aksidente aabutin mo, considering pang masa pa ang elantra kaya dapat talaga siguraduhin na naayos na ang problem nito bago ibenta sa pinas.

True.

But as I said again, meron akong mga narining na serious quality issues..and I'm talking about stuff like STALLED engines and the like.

And take note the '11 Elantras made in SK are also exported to the US because of the huge demand.

I have yet to still hear major quality-related incidents of 2011 Elantra owners in the US whose cars were made in SK.

[Starex_Gold]

Naging major issue sa Tucson 2.0 Theta II dito yung engine stalling issue. Sana hindi yan mangyari sa Elantra kasi ECU problem daw e.

Now, hindi pa masyado malaki yung issue pero sana magawa na ng paraan, at hindi pa yan katulad ng Toyota na nakapatay na. At sana hindi na mangyari pa sa Elantra yun.

Duda ako kung mangyari ulit ang engine fire issue na yun.

Isipin mo na lang na minsan eh may random inspection nangyayari sa plants sa Ulsan.

At sino gumagawa ang random inspection na yun?

THE CEO OF HYUNDAI MOTORS HIMSELF

(It's a fact)

Well isipin mo na lang din na last year pa nangyari yun...eh ilang buwan na ang lumipas at wala pa tayong naririning sa same incident so.....

[Starex_Gold]

At wala pa naman yung mga Elantra dito sa Pilipinas eh...

I'll just say, that it's not always what car enthusiast wants is the best selling or even a decent seller. Look at the Civic 2.0 S-L and Civic 2.0 S M/T. Honda phased out both of these models because the demand was low, even if the specs were great. Everyone bought the Civic 1.8S, sometimes the Civic 1.8V. The Altis also, yung mga TOTL variants nila hard sell pa rin mapa 1.8V or 2.0V.

For me I can live without auto-climate, just as long na may A/C yung car okay na sa akin.

Also, auto-climate for me is overrated especially in a compact sedan. For me the temperature of each passenger doesn't matter because the car is so small if one passenger has a cold setting the whole car might as well get cold eventually because of the compact dimensions. But that's just me.
