How to Budget for a New Car

We’ve got the Hyundai new car deals you want and the information you need to ensure a successful car buying experience. Trust Sansone Hyundai to be your Avenel, NJ car dealership, and you’ll be in the vehicle of your dreams in no time. If you’re a first-time car buyer, you’re going to want to prepare, especially financially. You want that credit score to be at the top of its game. When it comes to your savings account, you’ll want to plan ahead a bit even if you’re not required to put any money down or if you’re not paying for your car outright. Why? Because there’s so much more to car budgeting than the MSRP price! If you’re financing, you have to consider the interest of your monthly payment. Making a substantial down payment can help lower those monthly payments if you so choose, which can be further supplemented by a vehicle trade-in if applicable. Experts recommend that a down payment be at least 20% of the vehicle price. Regardless of whether you finance or not, every car owner must pay fees like taxes, registration, and titling costs. Don’t forget that car insurance is required, which can be a lofty monthly expense. You’ll also want to budget for gas, possible repairs, and routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations every few thousand miles. We are committed to helping you prepare to buy, so feel free to come to us with any questions; we encourage it! You may even use the payment calculator on our website to determine what your monthly payment could look like and go from there. We hope to see you soon to talk more about your potential new Hyundai!

New Hyundai Sonata Offers Different Trim Options

Have you taken a look at the new Hyundai Sonata yet? Smooth lines and modern touches make this vehicle like a work of art. If you haven’t seen it in person yet, we urge you to come by Sansone Hyundai, located near Woodbridge, NJ to take a test drive. When this vehicle was first revealed, dealers, drivers, and critics were all stunned by the shocking yellow paint color, called Glowing Yellow, that the vehicle debuted in. What we didn’t know then is that Glowing Yellow would be just one of eight fantastic vibrant hues that we would see the 2019 Hyundai Sonata wearing. The final color choices ended up being: Quartz White Pearl, Symphony Silver, Machine Gray, Electric Blue, Lakeside Blue, Scarlet Red, and Phantom Black. No matter what style you’re going for, there is a color that will suit you perfectly. Maybe you pride yourself on eclectic or interesting choices - the Electric Blue could be for you. If you prefer sleek simplicity, you can’t go wrong with Phantom Black or Symphony Silver. And we all know someone who would love to drive the Hyundai Sonata in Scarlet Red. If you check out our brand website, you can see this model in all its glory in each color option. The model also comes in more than three awesome trim options for a little or a lot of luxury - however you like it. No matter which color or trim you choose, Sansone Hyundai can help you get that personalized feel with your new vehicle.

National Car Care Month

At Sansone Hyundai, we love any excuse to celebrate our brand - especially when it involves car care and special savings. Since April is National Car Care Month, we figured we’d remind you of some of our favorite ways to give our beloved vehicles a little special treatment. Our Hyundai service center can set you up with the works - fluid checks, multi-point inspection, battery check, and more. However, if a simple oil change is more your speed, we can help with that. And you’d be surprised, but a simple $20 (approximately) oil change can improve the health and efficiency of your vehicle by a ton. Another important part of maintaining that special investment is caring for your tires. When you drive on tires that are improperly inflated or worn past the point of safety, you’re risking yourself as well as other parts of your car. If you’re ever unsure about your tires, let us take a look. We might recommend new tires, or at the very least a rotation or alignment check to ensure you get your money’s worth out of them. As always, we have various service specials and coupons you can benefit from. Maintaining your vehicle on a budget has never been easier. We use only genuine OEM parts and you can trust our trained technicians with your baby for any service - large or small. When it comes to repairs or replacing parts, you know we’ve got your back there, too. Residents of Avenel and Woodbridge can find us by searching “ Hyundai car dealership near me” online. We look forward to celebrating with you this month and for many months to come once you’re a part of our Sansone Hyundai dealership family. Come see us today!

When it was introduced at the 2019 New York International Auto Show, one of its most beloved details is the numerous drive safety and convenience technologies.

There will be an 8-inch color screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. And best of all - advanced safety technologies like forward collision assistance, lane keeping assist, blind spot warning, and much more. We are expecting this model to hit dealership lots later this year, and we hope to get more information for you in the meantime.

Why Spring Is the Best Time to Buy

Sansone Hyundai is your greater Staten Island, NY car dealership that can give you the lowdown on everything related to Hyundai cars. If you haven’t really gotten into the car shopping process yet, we want you to know that there really is no better time. Not only is the weather a factor for car shopping, but spring can be the right time for other reasons as well. As if it wasn’t an obvious thought - nobody likes to car shop in the cold, ice, and snow. However, e think crappy weather shouldn’t force you into making a quick decision or buying a car before you’ve gotten to have that thorough test drive experience. During the spring, the weather is nice and you don’t have to worry about any rough driving conditions that might complicate your car buying plans. You can take your time choosing that ideal car for you. When it comes to Hyundai new car deals, we’ve got incentives to offer year-round, including right now. And if you choose to buy right now, your budget likely has the added bonus of using those tax return dollars. If you’re able to put those “once a year” kind of bonus funds toward your down payment, you can have a lower monthly payment or even pay off your car early. Furthermore, if you’ve got any summer road trip plans, a new, fuel-efficient vehicle can really come in handy for your travels and save you some money at the tank. If you were already thinking of buying this year, we encourage you to take advantage of the season and our current specials.  Come on down to Sansone Hyundai located in Avenel today. We’d love to help you buy or lease a new Hyundai vehicle that you can enjoy all year long.

All-New Hyundai Sonata Gets Premium Sound System

As a Hyundai dealership, we love when our brand announces new vehicles about to hit the market. What’s more exciting still is when we get details about fresh new upgrades and premium features that build upon the great legacy of a previous model generation. The all-new Hyundai Sonata has tons to love, but for now, we’re going to focus on the music. The all-new Hyundai Sonata is going to deliver what they’re calling a “life-like audio experience.” This cooperative effort with Bose will help us deliver even better audio quality than before in our vehicles. Hands down the best part of this new sound system is the way the digital signal processing technologies will be able to determine where passengers are seated and center the audio sound based on their position in the cabin. No matter where you sit, you’re going to get that amazing sound quality. Be gone, days of being blasted out in the backseat or barely being able to hear your Bluetooth phone calls from the driver seat. The system will even adjust audio and EQ levels automatically based on vehicle speed. You know that whole joke “let me turn down the music so I can see better?” Will your car has already got ya covered with this new system. You’ll be aware of your surroundings exactly when you need to be, and the highway will never drown out your jams again. So much thought has gone into every aspect of this new sound system, from speaker locations to stereo signal algorithms, there’s hardly anything Hyundai and Bose engineers haven’t thought of. To find us, Avenel residents can search for “ Hyundai dealership near me,” and you’ll realize quickly that we have exactly what you’re looking for.

Car Shopping for Your Lifestyle

The car shopping experience at Sansone Hyundai is a unique one, catering to each customer’s specific vehicle needs. Often times, customers of different age groups or life stages are in need of different types of vehicles, and we have tons of recommendations we can share with you regardless of which group you fit into, or even if your situation is unlike any others. Today, you can take a sneak peek at some of our favorite models for different lifestyles. For the new driver or the student: The Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Elantra, and Hyundai Kona are all solid options for someone just starting out. They fall on the lower end of the price spectrum and they are all compact vehicles. Backing up and driving in traffic is a breeze, even for the novice driver in these exceptional little cars. Pre-owned cars are also an option for someone on a budget or not wanting to buy brand new at the moment. For the parent or the outdoor enthusiast: If you need a little more space - be it for kids or camping essentials - we love the 2019 Hyundai Tucson and Hyundai Santa Fe. Both SUVs are loaded with safety and convenience features that anyone, especially parents, can appreciate. For the retiree or eco-conscious car shopper: If you’ve been there, done that, and want to trade in for a smaller, more efficient model, we can hook you up. Both the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid make for a pleasant - and green - driving experience. All you need to do is come down to Sansone Hyundai and help us get an idea of what you’re looking for. We’d love to be your Avenel car dealers, so come see us today!

How to Prep Your Hyundai for Spring

Winter weather can be rough on your vehicle, especially if it’s not garage kept. Not to worry, with warmer weather on the way (hopefully soon), Sansone Hyundai has the checklist you need to ensure your Hyundai vehicle is ready for all your spring adventures. Clean the interior. The best kind of car is a clean car, and it’s so easy to vacuum up that winter debris off the floors and clean the windows so you have better visibility while driving. Clean the exterior. We recommend thoroughly washing the exterior of your vehicle, with special attention to underneath. That’s where salt, cinders, and dirt are likely to build up during the winter, and if not taken care of, can cause damage to the paint and maybe even the body with rust down the road. Conduct routine maintenance with our Hyundai service center. Oil changes should take place at least two to three times a year. After “pothole season,” you’re probably also going to want a tire rotation and alignment check to make sure everything is good to go. It also does hurt to have your AC and battery tested because you know you’ll want to use those in the heat. Take care of necessary repairs or part replacements. It can be easy to procrastinate when life gets busy after the first of the year. However, once you get your tax return funds, giving your vehicle that much-needed TLC will pay off. If you choose us to be your Avenel, NJ Hyundai dealership, we have no doubts your vehicle will retain its value and continue to work efficiently for a long time to come.

What Does CPO Mean?

CPO stands for certified pre-owned, and boy do we have some great Hyundai certified pre-owned vehicles for sale at Sansone Hyundai. If you’re not quite up to speed on what CPO cars are, how to get one, or why you’d want one, search no further. We’ve got all the information you need right here. What Is CPO? At Sansone Hyundai, our CPO inventory is made up of Hyundai models that are less than five years old and have passed a comprehensive 150-point quality assurance inspection by our professional Hyundai technicians. These special vehicles come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, so you never have to worry. Essentially, you’d be getting a “like new” vehicle with a clean vehicle history report and a condition we put our name behind. Where Can I Buy a CPO Car? Be forewarned, not all CPO models are created equally. Only specially permitted Hyundai dealers, like us, may sell certified pre-owned Hyundai cars. You will not get the CPO manufacturer protections if you purchase a pre-owned Hyundai vehicle from a different brand dealer or a Hyundai dealership that does not offer CPO. Why Choose CPO? Budget makes a huge difference in nearly every car-buying scenario. Put simply, CPO makes sure you get a lot of bang for your buck. Even though the car has depreciated in value doesn’t mean it’s in bad condition. And you can take advantage of that. On top of the price, you get protection, including the remainder of the five-year/60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty, reinstatement of the 10-year/100,000 mile CPO powertrain limited warranty, a CARFAX vehicle history report, 10-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance, rental car coverage, three-month SiriusXM subscription, and much more. To find us, all you’ve got to do is search for “ Hyundai dealership near me.” If you live near Avenel or Woodbridge, we will be among your top results.

What Do You Know About the Hyundai Elantra GT?

So, not to toot our own horn, but our customers have called us the “ best Hyundai dealer in NJ,” so there must be a reason for that. We like to think it comes down to our expertise and our willingness to share information about our brand and our vehicles. The more we discuss, the easier it is for our customers to research and come to a conclusion on which vehicle is the best match for them. All that being said, we think we would be remiss if we spent even one more moment not talking to you about the Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback. Not only is this new car super cute, but it’s so darn economical. From gas mileage to the low base price this model comes with, it’s a great deal before you even realize how decked out the interior is. If you previously thought of the hatchback body style as a vehicle exclusively for soccer moms or retirees, this model makes the hatchback ideal for everyone, especially those daily commutes in the city where you need those extra comfort items. The Hyundai Elantra GT is downright luxurious at a portion of the cost of its competitors. Think blind spot detection, panoramic sunroof, push button start, leather detailing, full LED headlights, and other top-of-the-line features. This is all without naming the dozens of standard and available features that we know today’s buyers expect from their new car. The Hyundai Elantra GT has it all in a hatchback package. Rather than judging the book by its cover, we encourage you to come on down to our Hyundai dealership near Staten Island and see it for yourself.
