2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring Price Drops $1,800

Hyundai has slashed the price of the 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring by $1,800. The 2010 Base Price will be $16,715. The 2009 model was priced at $18,520.

Before considering the 2010 model, remember that when a new model year comes out, dealers aren't usually willing to negotiate heavily since demand is oftentimes higher than supply.

You have two attractive options here. Either wait until next year before purchasing the 2010 model, or try to get a good deal on the 2009 Elantra later this year (Most likely after the 2010 has hit showrooms).

Car makers don't like it when last year's models are still on the lot when the new one is introduced, especially if the new one is priced lower.

We're expecting some great incentives to come down the road on the 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Keep an eye on incentives to help decide whether a 2009 or 2010 Elantra is the best deal for you.
