Hyundai Azera Lease Questions
Thinking of leasing an Azera? Ask your questions here!
(Reposted from the main Azera site)
Car Sought: Hyundai Azera Limited w/Ultimate package
Program: February 2006 Lease deal ($299 mo / 27 months + ultimate package). $2925 down / $595 acquisition fee / 53% residual / .00119 (2.86%) money factor.
None of the dealers would agree to the $299 per month for 27 month lease deal on an Azera Limited (without Ultimate pkg) as advertised by Hyundai. The results of what they WOULD do on a lease for an Azera Limited with the addition of the ultimate package is described below.
Dealer #1 - Westland Hyundai - Ogden, Utah -
Negotiated Base Cap Cost to $27,900 (MSRP 30,075).
But refused to implement the lease deal as advertised and tacked on thousands of dollars in extra fees. Result: best lease price: $474 per month + taxes. STRIKE ONE
Dealer #2 - Riverton Hyundai - Riverton, Utah -
Would not negotiate below $28,700 (MSRP 30,075) Implemented the lease deal. Result: Best lease price $400 per month + taxes. STRIKE TWO
Dealer #3 - Ken Garff Hyundai - Salt Lake City, Utah -
Refused to negotiate below $29,000 (MSRP 30075) Implemented the lease deal. Result: Best lease price $422 per month + taxes. STRIKE THREE
* I knew more about the Azera than the Hyundai dealer sales people.
* All refused to honor the advertised Hyundai lease deal on the Azera.
* Most outright lied about invoice price and holdbacks and other financial information
* Several added in "hidden" fees which they were very reluctant to disclose.
* Many were rude, telling me to leave or to get a plane ticket and fly to a different city.
* Many were completely incompetent and couldn't even work the lease software.
Since the "lease deal" (that no dealer would fully do anyway) is over in a few days, it will make the Azera completely "unleasable" With it's very low residual, a lease on a unsubsidized Azera Ltd. Ult approaches $600/ month.
Personally, I am very unimpressed with Hyundai on the corporate and dealer level – which is probably one of the reasons it has such a "trashy" image and is laughed at. My experiences have done NOTHING to change that image. Until Hyundai can pick themselves out of the garbage, buyers such as myself will be drawn to more "upper-class" brands such as Acura that at least know what they are doing.
Maybe down the road Hyundai will get their act together. It might take a while, however, from what I have experienced.
Congratulations to those that actually found a decent dealer that was honest and knew what they were doing. For the rest of you . . . good luck!
Hyundai is now advertising a new lease incentive for March of 2006:
Runs from March 1 to March 31
$299 a month for 27 months on the Azera Limited. $2999 down / $595 acquisition fee / $1500 HMAC support (rebate) / 52% residual w/12000 miles / .00153 (3.67%) money factor
If you want to add the premium or ultimate packages to this offer, it will increase monthly payments by $30-$80 per month depending on the price you're able to negotiate.
tomsawyer1 Posts: 4Even if you could find a dealer who would honor this (good luck, as Hyundai dealers are slimey), it's still a horrible deal:
$2,999 down = $111.07 over 27 months.
$111.07 + lease payment of $299 = $410.07 per month for a base Azera, NOT including all the other crap fees they'll pile on.
Wgo does Hundai think they are? Audi?
Even if you could find a dealer who would honor this (good luck, as Hyundai dealers are slimey), it's still a horrible deal:
You're right. The Azera, unfortunately, has a low resale/ residual rate, which makes leasing expensive -- even when subsidized.
With the subsidized lease, the Azera has a 52% residual after 27 months. That means it loses 48% of its value in just over two years -- and that's subsidized!
In contrast, the Acura TL has a lease deal where the residual is 61% after three years. That means it only loses 39% of its value after three years. Much, much better than the Azera.
Buying the Azera will be no better. In fact, according to Edmunds, the Azera loses over 30% of its value within the first year alone! This is something that is improving, but will not change overnight.
Most on the Azera forums are stating that they are buying the Azera outright or leasing with the intention to buy after the lease and keeping the vehicle for 8-10 years. This would be the only thing that really makes any "financial" sense.
For short term buy or lease, you'd be much better off buying a vehicle that holds its value unless you really don't mind losing a lot of money in depreciation.

"For those not yet sold on Hyundai's resale value, the Automotive Lease Guide is forecasting a 42 per cent residual for three years, which is fairly strong for Hyundai."

metalgate Posts: 5THe reason most dealers hesitate to do the national lease is because it's based off net pricing. Meaning, to the dealer there's no profit margin. Not to mention, in more than 50% of the states the Limited is still bringing full MSRP. Then it becomes a business decision to lose money, or make money. I work for a Hyundai dealer. It's unfortunate some of you have had such unsavory experiences. I don't believe most dealers were preparred to deal with a premium sedan buyer. I also sell Cady's, so I knew before hand what is expected. My suggestion is to most definately get an Azera, but go to a multi point dealerhsip with at least one established luxury brand. BTW, I have seen more than my share of CTS and STS buyers switch themselves to the Azera and be thrilled to no end.
Welcome andrea. This particular discussion is more for consumers to ask questions about leasing the Hyundai Azera. You will have better luck finding information on things like its gas mileage in the following discussion: "Hyundai Azera 2006+".

nassau county NY area_western Nassau bordering on the Queens
New York city line.
I walked around through the lot(i wasn,t spotted).I counted
seven dust covered plastic shielded Azeras.
If Hyundai intends to move their slow selling Azera they
will have to do some "creative lease"deals.
Potential buyers at this point don't want to buy into
a situation which could lock them into 50%or more depreciation hit unless they can turn the car back to
hyundai if the car does not measure up to the hype!
hyundai the next move is up to you!

alross Posts: 2I leased an Azera Limted with Ultima package as of July 24th. List price at $30K, net at $25,200 after all dealer and factory discounts. Leaed for 36 months/12,000 miles per year. Lease rate at $425 per month plus sales tax. Down Payment was $1,200 which included the first month rental and plates and taxes. The dealer netted about $600 from this.
The Hyundai lease shows their office operation sucks as they did not bill after the first month. Their excuse they out source to someone for the billing/collections. Did get the second month billing o-k.
I am a former Infinit and Lexus user over many, many years. This vehcile, with all thr frills is really almostequal to a 2007 Lexus ES with a price differential of $37,000 to the $25,200 for the Azera. The residual at the end of 36 months is $12,500.
Hyundai has missed the boat. They have great advertising, classy and superior to virtually any brand. Their dealer ship operations simply do not have the experience or ambience to sell this superior vehicle. I visted four different dealers and found only one sales person who even knew the car's features.
I'm sure they wil learn but when you want to sell a class act you have to set the stage.
I have only about 1,000 miles on the car. It rides great, peppy and smooth and quiet. There isn't a car on the road that can provide the combination of luxury at this astounding low price.
Hey pmp96lau. Hyundai is not currently providing support on 24 month leases of the Azera. Its shortest term for leases of this car is 36 months. Hyundai Finance's current buy rate lease lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2006 Azera Limited with 15,000 miles per year are .00097 and 40%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, keep in mind that Hyundai is currently providing $3,000 lease cash on it. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

Car man,
Are you sure Hyundai is offering $3,000 lease cash on the car? I haven't been able to verify that on any of the websites.
Also, let's say I negotiate a price down to $25,000 (MSRP $30,000). If I decide to lease, are you saying I could potentially get the price down to $22,000 (with the $3,000 lease cash)?
Yes, jeffal, I am absolutely positive that Hyundai is currently providing $3,000 lease cash on leases of the 2006 Azera through Hyundai Finance. If you are able to negotiate a selling price of $25,000 without the use of any incentives then yes you could potentially use a capitalized cost of $22,000 to calculate your car's lease payment.

HICKORY, N.C. -- A community in healing comes together to help fight child abuse.
People in Hickory planted hundreds of pinwheels at the Zahra Baker playground and there's an important reason why.
There was a slight breeze Tuesday at the Zahra Baker playground, perfect for making a pinwheel go.
"They just sort of remind you the sun is reflecting up so it's going to get better," said 11-year-old Emma Salyards.
This is a community still trying to get better.
"I think it was Zahra Baker 'cause it was so horrible to see that happen. Everyone thinks when they see something bad happen, oh that can't happen here, but it did and I think that's what brought everyone into a reality check that we need to do something about it," the young girl said.
Emma knows the story well.
"Yeah, I mean she was so close to my age which made it really hard to think about."
Another little girl, Zahra Baker, the freckle-faced 10-year-old who lost a leg to cancer and captured the attention of the world in October 2010 when she was reported missing. She'd suffered years of abuse and was ultimately murdered.
"She was treated so horribly, but like that man said, she's smiling down on us thinking I may have been treated horribly but God is helping turn it into something good."
That something good is the playground built and named in her honor, which today, is covered in pinwheels.
"Yeah, I've never seen that many pinwheels before and I think it's really cool to see how they go up the hill and they spread all around."
Spreading awareness about preventing child abuse.
"Yeah, it keeps them turning and keep life going on and it helps make sure that things are gonna get better, child abuse is eventually going to end."
Wise words from an 11-year-old convinced the winds of change are already working.

Visual Studio: Platform Based References
I've been needing to jump back and forth between 32 and 64 bit builds recently. Unfortunately a few of the 3rd party assemblies my project is using are platform specific so I found myself having to manually swap out the references to prevent BadImageFormatExceptions from popping up. Since Visual Studio doesn't provide mechanism for this I started exploring external ways to get the right assembly.
On a previous project we where we had this problem we were building with NAnt. With this configuration it was somewhat straightforward to create a dependencies folder that held and organized the different assembly versions and prior to the build, copy the appropriate ones to a folder referenced by the projects. This ensured that we always built the project with the correct assemblies for the target platform. On this project though, I'm not using NAnt, I'm using MSBuild and I didn't want to do a custom build task so I looked for another solution.
A 2 year old post from ryangerard.net provided the answer I was looking for. The solution involves a simple project file "hack" where under each property group we define a variable whose value is the path to the appropriate assembly.
Note: The element name you use should be meaningful to your project. I've used ThirdPartyAssemblyPath for illustration purposes.
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86'"> <!-- snipped --> <ThirdPartyAssemblyPath>(path to 32-bit assembly)</ThirdPartyAssemblyPath> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x64'"> <!-- snipped --> <ThirdPartyAssemblyPath>(path to 64-bit assembly)</ThirdPartyAssemblyPath> </PropertyGroup>
We also need to update the actual reference element to use a hint path based on the variable the variable.
<Reference Include=""> <HintPath>$(ThirdPartyAssemblyPath)</HintPath> </Reference>
I was able to leverage a single variable for multiple references because I'm using several assemblies from the same vendor. Since they're pretty well organized in the vendor's installation folder I only had to define a single variable for the folder and left the .dll names in the reference definitions.
Once you've made these edits you can freely switch between target platforms. I'm not sure how sustainable this is in the long term or on larger projects but it's definitely an option. Just be careful if you ever need to change that reference that you update the variables rather than the reference or you'll find yourself right back where you started.
VS2010: Web Standards Update and the CSS Editor
I've been doing a bit of Web UI work recently and everything was going fairly smooth until yesterday when I tried opening one of my CSS files in Visual Studio and was promptly greeted with a dialog reading "The operation could not be completed. Unspecified error" and the editor never opened. A little hunting for the error message and "CSS editor" revealed that the Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1 was likely to be the culprit and uninstalling should resolve the issue.
I closed Visual Studio, uninstalled the update, and sure enough, when I reopened my project the CSS file opened just fine. I haven't reinstalled the update yet. Maybe I'll try again soon but it seems from the comments on the component's page that this is a common issue.
More information:
- CSS Source Editor won't open in Visual Studio 2010 Professional
- Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
(be sure to check the "Reviews" and "Q and A" tabs)
Operation could destabilize the runtime
Today I was trying to run the code for a project I've just been assigned to. I'd brought down the code from SVN, built the common libraries, and punched F5. Build succeeded. Before long the browser loaded and the beautiful new UI stared back and virtually begged me to start clicking around. Before I could do anything though Visual Studio rudely interrupted with an unhandled exception dialog. This one looked nasty, particularly since I'd never seen it before: System.Security.VerificationException – Operation could destabilize the runtime…
I found a Stack Overflow question about this that pointed to Json.NET as a possible culprit. Sure enough, the source of the exception was Newtonsoft.Json. It seems that Visual Studio Ultimate's IntelliTrace didn't like something Json.NET was doing and would throw that exception. The issue is said to be resolved as of release 6 but I haven't upgraded the assembly yet.
For the time being I've added a rule to exclude *Newtonsoft.* from the IntelliTrace modules list as recommended by in the Stack Overflow answer. Since excluding the assembly I haven't seen the problem again.
Going Underground: Microsoft Moles
3/27/2012 Update: According to the Moles page, the Moles framework has been integrated into Visual Studio 11 as the Fakes framework and Moles is no longer under active development. After a quick review of the changes it appears that most of this guide still applies but there are a few changes to be aware of:
- Mole types are now referred to as Shim types
- The configuration file now has a .fakes extension
- The generated types are now placed in a .Fakes namespace (i.e.: System.Fakes)
6/25/2012 Update: In preparation for my Faking It talk covering the Fakes framework I compiled a list of the notable differences between Moles and Fakes. There are quite a few more than I listed above so if you're using this post as an introduction to either framework you'll probably want to look them over.
Despite having been around for several years I hadn't heard about Microsoft's Moles framework until a few months ago when one of my teammates mentioned it during the 2011 Indy GiveCamp. I was interested in learning more about it at the time but given how we were running on caffeine I'm not surprised I forgot about it until he mentioned it again a few weeks ago. This time I was much more alert and started reading about it almost immediately. After seeing what Moles offered and not finding much in the way of resources for it on the Web I knew I needed to spread the word.
VS2010: Box Selections
When I first saw the box selection capabilities in Visual Studio 2010 I thought "that's kind of neat but I'll probably never use it" and promptly moved on. I couldn't have been more mistaken. In fact, nearly two years later, box selection has become one of those features that I use almost daily. What surprises me now though is how many developers I run into that still don't know about them.
Box selections let us quickly make the same change to multiple lines simultaneously. Creating them is easy – just hold shift+alt and use the arrow keys or hold the alt key while left drag the mouse to define a rectangle. If you just want to insert the same text onto multiple lines you can define a zero-length box by expanding the box vertically in either direction.
So what makes box selections so useful? Some of the things I find them most useful for are changing modifiers and making local variables implicitly typed. To illustrate, let's take a look at a few non-virtual properties that we'd like to make virtual.
Making these properties virtual without a box selection certainly isn't difficult but it's definitely tedious. A box selection lets us make them all virtual at the same time so we can get on with the task at hand. The thin blue line immediately following the public modifier on each property identifies the zero-length box that serves as the point where we'll insert in the virtual modifier.
To insert the virtual modifier we just need to type (or paste) "virtual." Here you can see that each property is now virtual and the zero-length box has moved to the end of the inserted text. What if we decide later though that these properties shouldn't be virtual after all?
We can use box selections to remove the virtual modifier from each property just as easily. In the example to the left we see a box selection highlighting the virtual modifier on each line. To remove the text we can simply delete it. This will leave us with a zero-length box where the virtual modifiers used to be. We can then simply click or arrow away to clear the box selection.
Box selections can go a long way toward increasing your productivity by reducing some of the more tedious aspects of programming. The few seconds they save here and there can really add up over the course of a day. More importantly though, that time can be spent on the real problems we're trying to solve.

Changing the AnkhSVN Merge and Compare Tools
When my team reverted back to Subversion the first thing I missed was the Visual Studio integration from TFS. CollabNet provides AnkhSVN to fill that gap by exposing most common source control operations directly through the IDE. I've been using AnkhSVN successfully for a few months but one thing that always bugged me was the default compare tool. I love WinMerge and the default merge and compare tool just didn't, well, compare. Thankfully the merge and compare tools thank AnkhSVN uses are configurable.
AnkhSVN adds a Subversion User Tools page to the Source Control folder in the Visual Studio options dialog. From here we can select the tools to use for:
- External Diff
- External Merge
- External Patch
Not only does AnkhSVN provide a list of popular tools including WinMerge and KDiff, it also attempts to determine if any of them are installed and marks any it can't find with "(Not Found)". To change the tool just select it from the list or enter the path to your favorite utility.
Each of the tools are preconfigured to run with a fairly thorough set of arguments but if we want to customize them we can click the corresponding ellipsis button to open the Command Editor. AnkhSVN uses the macro paradigm to inject a variety of variables into the argument list for the selected editor. Its macros follow the traditional $(name) format so it should look familiar to anyone familiar with configuring external tools from Visual Studio's Tools menu.
Ever since I found these settings and replaced the default tool with WinMerge I've been much happier. AnkhSVN is a much more natural extension of my workflow than TortoiseSVN so being able to use WinMerge simplifies the process immensely.
VS2010: Find in Files
I really debated with myself about writing this post but after an exchange with a friend I decided to go ahead with it. My team recently upgraded to new laptops with a fresh new image. When one of my friends remarked that he was glad that the new image contained wingrep I asked why he didn't just use Visual Studio's Find in Files feature. His reason? He didn't know about some of its features. After talking about it a bit he said he'd give it another shot. Now, several days later he's using it almost exclusively.
VSTS 2010 Load Test Browser Definitions
The list of browsers included in the VSTS 2010 browser list has a decent selection but with the release of IE9 and other browsers it's already getting out of date.

VS2010 SP1 Now Available
Visual Studio Magazine is reporting that Microsoft has released Visual Studio SP1 and it is now available for download. Among other things the service pack addresses issues with general stability, the editor, the shell, and IntelliTrace. It also improves support for 64-bit environments, Silverlight 4, IIS Express and a variety other areas. A full description of the service pack is available from Microsoft Support.
TFS Power Tools Get a Facelift
Today the Visual Studio Facebook page had an announcement about the availability of an update to the TFS Power Tools. Although I've been back in SVN-land lately this update is still pretty exciting. Given that my most popular post is Everyday TFS I thought my readers would find it just as interesting.
Per the announcement the March update focuses on three main areas:
- Addressed reported issues in the Backup/Restore Power Tool
- Fleshed out the Windows Shell Extension for version control
- Took the first step on the path to a bunch of new TFS Build Power Tools

The holidays are officially over as the Christmas lights finally came down in Bridgeville this week.

Ron Oestrike, the most successful coach in Eastern Michigan program history, died Friday at age 82, the school announced in a release.
The man for whom EMU's baseball stadium is named for is the school's all-time winningest coach in program history at 657. EMU went to two NCAA College World Series under Oestrike (1975, 1976), and finished second in the nation in the latter appearance.

The school named Jeff Konya its new AD at a news conference this afternoon. Konya, who was born in Royal Oak and spent part of his childhood in West Bloomfield, had been the AD at Cal State Bakersfield. Konya said the goal is to make OU a top-10 athletic department in its classification.

Monte Morris exceeded even the highest of possible expectations for his freshman year. He moved into the starting lineup, played crunch time minutes on the biggest stages and even set an NCAA record for assist-to-turnover ratio.
A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed the agreement, which cannot be formally announced until new contracts are finalized next Thursday. The deal, worth a reported $9.8 million, was first reported Thursday night by Yahoo! Sports.

Michigan State is expected to have one of the top offensive backfields in the Big Ten with quarterback Connor Cook and running back Jeremy Langford returning from last year's Rose Bowl-winning team. Michigan? Not so much.
They include two Michigan natives in forwards Mitch Maloney of Macomb and Drew Dorantes of Waterford along with defenseman Austin Kosack of Oakville, Ontario.

Free Press special writer Nick Meyer led the chat during tonight's draft. Discuss the selections here!
'I haven't really had anybody say we're going to take you or we really want you and are considering you for this pick, I've just heard a lot of, 'we'll see what happens draft night' and some smirks and smiles and have a good day,' Bader said Wednesday.

In a way, I applaud the shift from green to gray, because obviously, green hasn't worked. Will gray? EMU is betting on it. 'The fact that (school officials) have embraced the idea of the field being concrete gray shows their courage and conviction in who we are and what we are all about,' new coach Chris Creighton said in a release.
Grant Fisher of Grand Blanc High was named the 2013-14 Gatorade Michigan boys track and field athlete of the year.
Creighton says the Eagles are so tough, they would play on a parking lot. That's why Eastern Michigan soon will replace its artificial turf with FieldTurf that looks like concrete. The project is scheduled to begin in July. The school already was planning to replace the 9-year-old surface at Rynearson Stadium this year.
Jordan Howenstine grew up in Lansing and went to college in Rochester. But the snapshot he'll remember most occurred in San Antonio on Sunday night, when the Spurs' part-time public relations assistant shared in the NBA championship.

Five-alarm fire rips through Portsmouth waterfront condo
Crews were called to Harbour Place Condominiums at 6:30 p.m. for a report of a chimney fire that spread to the ceiling.
Fire ripped through the roof of the building and smoke billowed out for hours drawing crews from over a dozen Seacoast communities to battle the labor-intensive blaze.
No injuries of residents or fire personnel were reported and everyone in the building at the time the fire broke out was able to evacuate safely.
Portsmouth Fire Chief Chris LeClaire said most of the damage was contained to Unit 13 in the 18-unit building, with heat, smoke and water damage throughout the other three units on the third floor. The floors underneath sustained water damage.
Part of the roof over the middle unit also collapsed, LeClaire said.
None of the units were habitable on Friday night.
Fire crews were cleaning out by 11 p.m., but LeClaire said at least one crew would be on scene all night to check for hot spots and to make sure the fire stayed out.
The exact location where the fire started and the exact cause is under investigation.
The location of the building made access difficult and fighting the fire labor intensive, LeClaire said with the Piscataqua River on one side and a section of the building blocking direct access from Bow Street.
Five alarms were called, bringing in enough mutual aid to keep crews rotating in and out safely, LeClaire said, given the difficulty of fighting the fire and the cold, windy weather.
He said a quick response and aggressive attack kept the fire from spreading any further throughout the building or to the many surrounding buildings and businesses.
"They did tremendous work," LeClaire said.
All of the crews that responded are part of the Seacoast Chiefs Mutual Aid District, which includes 42 towns in three states. Crews from as far as Newburyport, Mass. and York, Maine responded to the scene.
"We all work well together. The mutual aid here is second to none," LeClaire said.
A person familiar with the building said all of the residents had accommodations for the night. LeClaire said the American Red Cross was not called to the scene because there had been no indication of need.
